Bianca storms out of the house, and the player follows her to Professor Juniper's lab, where Cheren has been waiting. The player visits Bianca's house, where she and her father are having an argument about her going on a Pokémon journey. The three then go downstairs, and Cheren and Bianca will leave the house while the player's Mom will heal the Pokémon. If the player loses to Cheren, he will gloat about his victory. Cheren heals both the player's and Bianca's Pokémon, and begins a battle with the player as well. When the battle is over, the room becomes cluttered due to the battle. After the selection, Bianca will request a battle. The box contains three Pokémon that the player can choose from. Professor Juniper has left a gift box for the two and Cheren, another one of the player's friends, who arrives a little later. The game starts in Nuvema Town in the player's room with Bianca, a childhood friend.
