After finishing their business in Goldenrod, Joshua & Fjelstan head north and encounter a freakshow of trainers outside Johto's National Park. They participate in its Bug-Catching Contest to... very different results. To the park's east, they douse the wriggling tree with a (Mr.) Squirtbottle, fight a Sudowoodo, and then arrive in Ecruteak City. Joshua tangos with the Kimono Girls, and Fjelstan finally returns the dreaded stowaway Spearow, Kenya, before they fight their rivals in the Burned Tower and then shoo Gym Leader Morty's ghosts away.
