At a sweets festival, the , and are in a queue for Casteliacones. Roxanne is eager to learn about Casteliacones and explains the importance of learning, such as knowing Pokémon battles. Hilda believes that actually tasting a Casteliacone would be the best way to learn than simply describing one.
At that moment, a cuts in front of them. Hilda, Roxanne and the player defeat the Masked Woman in battle, forcing her to line up from the back of the queue.
Roxanne acknowledges Hilda's power in battle but states that her style is a little reckless. Hilda rebuts saying that a Trainer needs to jump in to know what is going to work or not and that stopping and thinking might cost the Trainer a chance. Hilda believes that taking action is the most important, while Roxanne believes thorough planning is crucial.
A who witnessed their previous battle then asks them for a battle. After defeating her, Roxanne realizes that despite having opposing battle styles they were still able to win.
Soon, there is an announcement that Casteliacones had been sold out and the team walk away disappointed.
They are next met by who has also been intrigued by their battle and would like to analyze their Pokémon. Roxanne points out that Thorton has bought four Casteliacones and Thorton agrees to give them the ice cream if they battle him.
After the defeat, Thorton finds out that his data analysis was insufficient to keep up with the movements and commands of the team. Hilda and Roxanne both realize that they are in sync as a team despite their differences in battle style.
Once they receive the Casteliacones, they find that they have now melted. Hilda and Roxanne plan to come again tomorrow to buy Casteliacones.

Hilda	Come on, <player>! Let's go! Time to get our team in perfect sync, and battle it out nonstop!

 	I'm totally craving a Casteliacone...
Hilda	Having different battle styles means you can cover each other's weak points! It's part of what makes battling on a team so great!

A sweets festival had taken over the city for the day.A long line of eager customers queued up in front of one of the festival's best sellers, the famous Casteliacone from Castelia City.

Hilda 	Just a little farther, <player>! We're almost to the front! It's been ages since I've had a Casteliacone. I'm so excited!
Roxanne 	Are they really that good?
Hilda 	They really, really are! Watch, one bite and you'll be addicted!Plus, they're made to look like Vanillite, so they're really cute, too!
Roxanne 	Oh, I already know what they look like! I did some research before coming here today.I want to know how they taste. What about the texture? Are they more creamy or airy? What do you like most about Casteliacones?
Hilda 	Wow, I didn't realize you were that interested! Why the sudden curiosity about Casteliacones?
Roxanne 	I want to figure out why certain things become popular. What is it about them that makes so many people go crazy?It's important to be eager to learn, no matter what the topic is. The same goes for applying that knowledge to your Pokémon battles.
Hilda 	You really love learning, huh! As for Casteliacones, I think tasting one for yourself will be a lot more helpful than asking me to describe them.Plus, it'll be more fun that way! Am I right?
Roxanne 	I...suppose that's true. All right, then! I'll look forward to tasting one myself!
(Team Break appears) 	(Team Break appears)
Masked Woman 	Hehe! Look, a gap in the line just for me! Guess today's my lucky day!
Roxanne 	Excuse me! What do you think you're doing? Cutting in line is against the rules.
Masked Woman 	Who cares! What's the big deal, anyways? You can't expect me to wait in line for hours just for some dumb ice cream.
Hilda 	D-dumb ice cream? Dumb ice cream?!Casteliacones are famous! They always sell out immediately, even in Castelia City, where they're originally from!Waiting in line for hours to get your hands on one is part of what makes it so delicious! You really don't get it at all, do you?!
Masked Woman 	Sheesh! Somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning...
Roxanne 	Regardless, I won't tolerate rule-breaking! Now march yourself right to the back of the line.
* Plan vs. Action

Masked Woman 	Ugh! Fine then! I'll go to the back of the dumb line. Happy?!
(Team Break leaves) 	(Team Break leaves)
Roxanne 	The two of you are quite strong, aren't you... I'm impressed!Although...your battle style is a bit on the reckless side.
Hilda 	What?! I wouldn't call it reckless. How will you know if something's gonna work or not if you don't jump in there and give it a try?Traveling around the Unova region taught me to take the initiative.If you stop and think for too long, sometimes you end up missing your chance.What I'm trying to say is that it's good to take action! You can always reflect on things later.That's how I intend to raise my Tepig—from now until she evolves into a fiery Emboar!
Roxanne 	Interesting... I guess I've never really thought of it that way.
Hilda 	What's your stance, <player>?I prefer to take action!: I thought you'd say that! I've always felt like we were pretty similar in that regard!
Roxanne 	I prefer to think first, act later!: I knew you'd say that! Great minds think alike, <player>.
??? 	Pardon me...
(A Pokémon Ranger appears)	(A Pokémon Ranger appears)
Pokémon Ranger 	If you're not busy at the moment, do you want to have a Pokémon battle?I was watching you battle earlier, and now I'm itching to fight!
Roxanne 	Oh, really? Well, maybe another battle will help Hilda see sense when it comes to the importance of good planning.
Hilda 	Or it'll help Roxanne realize that taking action is more important than planning everything out!You're on!
* Thorton's Proposal
Name 	Text
Hilda 	That was awesome, <player>! Another win for us!
Roxanne 	My thorough planning and calm, cool analysis seem to have done the trick.
Hilda 	And I knocked down the competition with brute strength!
Roxanne 	When it comes to battle style, we really are complete opposites, aren't we...But we managed to win despite that. I don't understand—
Attention all customers currently in line for a Casteliacone!Thank you for waiting, but we've just sold our last cone for the day! We are now sold out!	Attention all customers currently in line for a Casteliacone!Thank you for waiting, but we've just sold our last cone for the day! We are now sold out!
Hilda 	What?! H-how could they sell out so soon?!
Roxanne 	But we've waited all this time! I can't believe we missed out.
Hilda 	Shoot! I was really looking forward to having a Casteliacone today.
??? 	Bzweeeeep!
Roxanne 	Um, can I help you with something?
(Thorton appears) 	(Thorton appears)
Thorton 	Oh, don't mind me.I just thought I'd take this opportunity to perform an analysis on your Pokémon. Your battle earlier has me quite intrigued.
Hilda 	Huh?! Analysis? You didn't even ask us first!
Roxanne 	Hey, look! He's got four Casteliacones!
Hilda 	WHAT?!
Thorton 	Oh, these? I bought them for an experiment. I plan to feed them to Pokémon and observe their responses.Why, do you want them? I guess I could let them go if you agree to battle me instead.
Hilda 	Are you serious?!
Thorton 	Collecting data from your Pokémon is worth more to me than a few ice cream cones.This will be fun. I look forward to analyzing all of the data later.
* Synergy beyond Analysis?!
Name 	Text
Thorton	Whoa! Whoa! You're even more impressive than I thought!
Roxanne	We did it! That was some excellent teamwork!
Hilda 	It's like we were totally in sync! We make such an awesome team!The question is how, though, right? Our battle styles are still polar opposites.
Thorton	Hmm, this can't be right... My data-interpreting machine was just reading at 78% a moment ago.Oh, don't mind me! Just mumbling to myself... You can just ignore that number.It seems my data analysis was insufficient to keep up with the movements and commands of you three and your Pokémon.A sub-optimal performance indeed... I stand defeated.
Hilda 	Wait, are you saying we were so in sync that we broke your machine? How awesome is that!
Roxanne	Our styles may be totally different, but when we were battling together, it felt like something just clicked.
Thorton	I'd have to collect a lot more data to be sure. I think there's something else at work here...something that can't be expressed in numbers.Ah, that reminds me. Four Casteliacones in exchange for a battle, as promised.
Hilda 	Woo-hoo! Finally!
Roxanne	Thank you, Thorton!Wait... Oh no!
Hilda 	NOOO! They're totally melted!
Thorton	Oh. Well, that's unfortunate. Though that is to be expected with ice cream.
Roxanne	I can't believe this... After all that buildup, I don't even get to taste one?Wait—pause! Melted or not, the ingredients are all still there. Melting shouldn't change the flavor, right?!
Hilda 	I...guess so? Maybe? Why don't we just come back again tomorrow and wait in line for a good, not-melted one?We'll have plenty of time to chat while we wait. Maybe we can get to know each other a little better!
Roxanne	That's not a bad idea. Like you said before, waiting in line is part of what makes Casteliacones delicious, right?I'm sure they'll taste even more amazing after spending all that time with you and <player>!
