In their rush to get ahead, Trace narrowly stops himself from plummeting down a deep crevice, sending out Pidgeot again to fly him over; Green responds by using her to latch onto a stalactite and swing herself over as Trace and Pidgeot watch on in surprise. Their surprise is short-lived as another swarm of Zubat and attacks them, prompting Green to order a to chase the swarm away.

At Professor Oak's Laboratory in Pallet Town, Green reports on her failure to catch Mewtwo and thus complete the Kanto Pokédex, but Professor Oak assures her that she has caught many Pokémon in her quest, and forged strong bonds with her Pokémon in the process. He adds that Green wasn't taking on the initiative alone, pointing out Trace and Elaine standing at the doorway behind them.
