==Synopsis==
Justin encounters a students on a field trip.
==Summary==
A group of students are led by a teacher to explore the wildlife on Route 104. All the students are joined by their partner Pokemon.
Meanwhile, Justin continues training Ralts and Torchic to be ready for the Rustboro Gym. Justin defeats a trainer Billy with only Ralts. Ralts' Hypnosis trigger to put everyone to sleep is an effective battle strategy for Justin, but Justin wants Ralts to hone it.
The battle is spotted by several students who rush down to come see Justin's Pokemon. Justin keeps Ralts calm to not immediately put the trainers to sleep. One of the boys Winston asks Justin how much money he wants for his Pokemon, shocking Justin. Winston addresses that Eevee are not native to Hoenn. Torchic is a rare starter Pokemon and Ralts only live in one section in Hoenn, and they are very difficult to capture. Winston wants Justin's Pokemon for their rarity, and he comes from a very wealthy family who will compensate Justin. The latter adamantly refuses.
Before an argument can break out, the teacher comes to defuse the situation. She introduces herself as Gym Leader Roxanne, and Justin shares he is a trainer looking to battle her for a badge. Roxanne presents her Geodude and offers Justin a chance to battle now as a demonstration to her students, but Justin declines knowing his Pokemon are not ready.
Winston complains to Roxanne that he wants Justin's Pokemon. He wants Roxanne to punish Justin with her Rock Pokemon. Several other students, wealthy themselves, also wants a chance to buy Justin's Pokemon. Roxanne tells Winston he cannot buy a trainer's Pokemon, but Justin offers Winston the chance to battle for his Pokemon. Winston happily obliges, presenting his Litleo. Justin decides to battle with Torchic.
The battle does not bode well for Torchic early but Torchic perks up more seriously and defeats Litleo once Justin reminds his Fire-Type that Winston intended to buy him.
With Winston defeated, Roxanne makes Winston apologize for his rudeness. The students return home, and Roxanne looks forward to Justin's challenge.
