Flannery suggests a battle to resolve the argument, and Blue further suggests joining a team-on-team elimination battle. Blue and Flannery join the player to form a team and win against their first opponent.
After winning themselves to the finals, Blue is surprised to receive a Poryphone message stating that Misty had been defeated.

Misty leaves the arena and they soon find out that their finals opponents are from the Indigo Elite Four.
After the battle, Bruno commends how well the player's team worked together. Bruno's apprentice is dumbfounded that they lost against children, however, Bruno remarks that underestimating them as children indicated that he still harbours hubris and concludes that team battles are about how well Trainers work together, not on individual strength.

 	Guess Blue already left... I should go train, too!
Flannery	I think Blue left to go do some training a little bit ago. If you hurry, you can probably still catch him!

Blue 	Whew! I think that's good enough for today's training! How about we head back, Pidgeot?Hm? What's up?Oh, hey, it's <player>! !Bad timing! I would have let you battle me if you'd gotten here a little sooner. Oh well.When you're as famous as we are, Trainers'll challenge you every time you walk down the street! Pidgeot needs some rest now.So you do have a heart!: Of course I do! What kind of Trainer would I be if I didn't take care of my Pokémon?!Good thinking!: Thanks! You've gotta get plenty of rest if you want to be on your A game. That goes for Pokémon AND for Trainers!Hm? What is it? Ohhh... I know that look in your eye. You want me to give you some tips on battling, don't you.All right! First, let me introduce you to some other Trainers that are here on Pasio!
(Transition to Flannery at the field)	(Transition to Flannery at the field)
Blue 	Hey! Flannery! Torkoal!
Flannery 	Oh, hey, Blue! You're here, too, <player>? What's going on here?
Blue 	Wait, you two know each other?
Flannery 	Of course! We're on a team, after all!
Blue 	Whoa, look at you! Sounds like you've already got a pretty good team going, don't you, <player>!It's no easy feat to get a strong Trainer to acknowledge you as a teammate, so good going! Of course, she's not as good as me, but...
Flannery 	You just had to keep talking, didn't you. Well, you implied that I'm a strong Trainer, so I'll take the compliment.
Blue 	I wanted to introduce you two, but if you already know each other...I guess we can move on!

Blue 	There she is. Heeey! Misty!
Misty 	Hey, Blue! Hey, <player>! Oh, and Flannery, too? What are you all up to? Doing some training?
Blue 	... ... ...Don't tell me... You're on <player>'s team, too, aren't you, Misty.
Misty 	Yup! <player>'s been working super hard to grow strong for the team!Brock and I made sure to teach / the basics. / got a real knack for Pokémon battling.
Blue 	Hm, I see... Of course, if I were on the team, too, / would be even stronger.
Misty 	Hey! Are you trying to say I'm a bad teacher?
Blue 	I'm just saying.../ could learn a lot more from a stronger sync pair.
Misty 	Ugh! I guess some things never change. You think you're better than me. Just admit it!
Flannery	Hey, guys, I don't feel right saying this, but let's cool down a bit! Why not just settle this with a Pokémon battle?
Blue 	I'm game for that! But just a normal battle would be boring...There are a bunch of event matches going on all over Pasio right now for the PML.I heard one of them is a team-on-team elimination battle... You interested?
Misty 	That kind of feels like a roundabout way of solving things, but all right! Challenge accepted.I guess it'll be more fun to settle this with a bang. Let's do it!
Blue 	All right! Then <player> and Flannery are with me!
Misty 	Wait, why do you get <player> on your team?!
Blue 	Because / can learn more that way.
Misty 	You really are a piece of work, aren't you... Fine, then I'll make my own Water-type team that'll knock your socks off!
Flannery	This is getting pretty intense! I like it!

Blue 	You guys aren't bad! I didn't think you'd be able to keep up with me! Not a bad team we have here!
Flannery 	No kidding! We even made it to the finals!
Blue 	Huh, it looks like I just got a Poryphone message from Misty... Wait—what?!
Flannery 	What's wrong?
Blue 	She lost?! There's somebody in this tournament that could beat Misty?I thought that she and her Starmie would easily make it to the finals.So you admit that she's good./You had faith in her, didn't you.: She's the Cerulean City Gym Leader. It's only common sense she would make it to the finals.
(Misty appears) 	(Misty appears)
Misty 	Aww, man... I'm so bummed I lost that battle. I guess I won't be battling you in the finals after all.
Flannery 	Misty! What happened?!
Blue 	You got sloppy, didn't you.
Misty 	I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that... We had fun, and that's what matters. By the way, the guy that beat me had a message for you!He said he wants a rematch with you, Blue.
Blue 	A rematch?! You mean I've battled this guy before?
Misty 	Oh, you'll know him when you see him... Watch out, though. He's strong! I guess I'll see you at the arena in a bit! I'm not missing this!
(Transition to Bruno and his team)	(Transition to Bruno and his team)
Bruno 	I've been waiting for you, Blue!
Blue 	Ahhh, Bruno. So you're the one who beat Misty, huh? Guess that's to be expected from a member of the Indigo League Elite Four.
Bruno 	It is all a result of my perseverance training from before and during my time on Pasio.
Blue 	...
Flannery 	Indigo Elite Four?! Oh man, I have to put my game face on!
Blue 	Good call, Flannery. Bruno is the real deal.Flannery, <player>, time to get serious!
Bruno 	Get ready for our superior power! Hoo hah!
* Those Who Seek the Ultimate Strength

Bruno's Apprentice	We...lost?! To these children?!We went through arduous training with Master Bruno... We even beat a Gym Leader!
Bruno 	This is nothing strange. They were just stronger than us.And as long as you underestimate them as children, that means you still harbor hubris in your heart.Team battles aren't about the power of each individual pair but of how well those pairs work together.Blue, Flannery, and <player> unleashed their true potential as a team.
Blue 	You're right, Bruno. It's true. You guys are all strong sync pairs...but my team went a step further, making sure we covered each other's weaknesses.Flannery, <player>... I think that battle was the best this team has done yet! Good job, guys!
Bruno 	It's our loss. Blue, you are a really impressive Trainer.No matter the situation or predicament, you strive to be the best there is, and you have the tenacity and serenity to actualize that desire.I have trained to the absolute limit.But perhaps you have the power to surpass that limit.
Blue 	I know a guy that I don't want to lose to. And I know that he continues to get even stronger.That's why I can't afford to stop.That's why I want strong Trainers to battle. So if you ever want another rematch, just let me know!
Bruno 	I shall train more and challenge you again.
Flannery 	So that's what makes you such a strong Trainer, huh, Blue? I gotta work harder, too!Hey, Bruno! Can I train with you?
Bruno 	Of course! We can start immediately!
Blue 	Well, I guess that means our little impromptu team is disbanding. It's been fun, <player>.I had fun, too!: Heh! Glad to hear that. You know you're on the right track if you're able to have fun.I learned a lot!: Make sure you remember how strong Pidgeot and I are, all right?Here's hoping we can see each other again at some other tournament event.I have no intention of losing, so if you keep moving up the ranks, I'm sure we'll end up battling each other one way or another.I look forward to seeing how strong you become!
