(Soundtrack)
Your ship arrives at Snowpoint City soon after midday. A violent hailstorm is scouring the landscape, and even from this distance, you can spot the looming darkness around the city's borders, to the west. The sounds of ongoing battle can be heard even this far from the field. However, the city still seems to be standing. Cynthia looks relieved as well. "Thank goodness, we are still in time".
As you land on the docks, a group of workers and other citizens gather up in front of Sinnoh's champion and her followers. A frail, pale, yet bold girl seems to be leading them. Several bandages cover her right ankle, her arms, and her left eye. However, even if you can still see them stained in blood, she gives you a warm smile.
"Gym Leader Candice reporting", she says, with a joyful tone despite the situation. "I'm glad to inform you that Snowpoint City still holds".
A tear of commotion crosses Cynthia's cheek, as she comes to the wounded girl to embrace her. "Sorry for being late, Candice".
The two stand close for a few moments, before Candice steps back and shakes her head. "You don't have to apologize. All it matters now is that you are here".
Cynthia nods, then looks around. "Where's Lt. Surge? I thought he was here with you".
Candice's smile faded. "He... he was trapped behind the enemy lines after yesterday's assault. The 9th army is trying to free him with the help of the few among us who can still...". A man close to her grabbed her right before she came close to passing. The Gym Leader recovers a few seconds after, but she still looks weak and dizzy.
"Candice, you need to rest", says Cynthia worried. "You can't fight in these conditions".
The girl's eyes turn down, burning with sadness and frustration. "But... I cannot just sleep while my people..."
"Candice". Cynthia put her hand on Candice's shoulder, looking into her eyes with a determined expression. "Leave the fight to us. We are going to end this, today".
The Gym Leader gazed into the Champion's confident smile for a few moments, without saying anything. Then, she nodded, and walked away with a few of her comrades. Sinnoh's Champion turns towards you. "Let's go. We can't start this assault without our general".
The battle seems to have been raging all over the glade between Snowpoint and the Lake of Acuity. Dozens of trainers are fighting tooth and nail against hordes of hostile, fiendish Pokemon summoned by Darkrai's wicked lieutenants. The entire landscape looks like a snowy wasteland, where even the cries fade in the incessant storm. Thanks to a diversion caused by Cynthia and others, you manage to make your way behind the enemy lines, up to a tight spot where Lt. Surge and his Raichu are just recovering from another struggle with the enemy forces.
"Ya're damn late, guys!", he says, spitting on the snow just before giving you a warm smile. "But ya're still welcome. How're the lines holdin'?"
"They're keeping the enemy contained", you explain. "We've been ordered to get you out of here so that we can assault the mountain"
Vermillion City's Gym Leader mumbles for a few moments. "Very well. The airship is hidden inside the cavern in the lake, we need to move out no...".
Before he can finish his sentence, though, his Raichu looks nervously around itself. Even though nothing can be clearly seen beyond the snow, you can sense something's off as well. Lt. Surge nods and lights up a cigar. "Looks like we got somethin' to deal with, 'fore that".
A cold laugh echoes from beyond the snowstorm. Then, you finally manage to see something emerging from the blinding white landscape...

"I will gift Darkrai with your heads, maggots", says the beast, while several of its minions start taking position before it.
"I'm sorry bud, I got other plans for mine", replies Lt. Surge. "Meh, hope the cig will last long enough... ready for battle, guys?"
Following the beast's shout, a few threatening Pokemon step forward to take care of you...

Lt. Surge's Raichu will assist you in fighting Garchomp and its evil minions. It comes with a boss-like AI, choosing its attacks from a slate like NPC enemies but without following a threat table - it will pick targets randomly.
NOTE: You CAN target Raichu with any move which could affect an enemy as well - such as Heal Pulse - but not with moves which can only target allies - such as Ally Switch or Reflect.
