In episode 1, we got to see an original character named John and moments with Leon and Chairman Rose. Episode 2 featured a story with the Fighting-type gym leader, Bea, who goes out to train in the Wild Area after a defeat. Episode 3 was all about Hop and his buddy Wooloo. Lastly, the most recent one from last month was Episode 4, featuring the Water-type gym leader Nessa.
