A sandstorm rages through Route Four, so White leaves Black to go get supplies. While Black waits in the Hiun Gate, he meets a casino dealer who challenges him to the "Moguryuu Game." The player's goal is to figure out whether the dealer's Moguryuu will pop up on the left side or the right side of a line drawn in the sand. After a few rounds, a lone construction worker wanders into the area and sinks into the ground filled with holes. The dealer explains that he had told the workers that it's dangerous to wander over, so the fact that this worker didn't know this means he must be an impostor! The dealer's Kirikizan quickly defeats the impostor's Maracachi before outing him as a member of the Plasma-Dan! Then, the dealer reveals that he is really Giima, one of the members of the Four Heavenly Emperors! Giima tells Black he'll answer his questions if he can defeat him in a battle. Since he's willing to give up his valuable information, however, Giima demands Black put something important on the line as well. The chapter ends with Black looking down at the Gym Badges he's collected so far.
Notes about the English version
Page 5, Panel Five: The English version displays the message on the weather board on two lines. The Japanese version displays it on one line, just like the games do.
Black passes out from the stress of deciding whether or not to risk his Gym Badges! After praising Black for being so serious about his dreams, Giima searches the Plasma-Dan grunt and finds a paper with the words "Ancient Castle" written on it. Elsewhere, Ryokushi, one of the Seven Sages of the Plasma-Dan, decides to go ahead with their plan to make Urgamoth appear. Later, Black wakes up in Raimon City. White explains that she found him like that when she got back from shopping and used his Wargle to help carry him all the way to Raimon City. She then excitedly tells Black to look at all the work she's been doing in the meantime. When the two of them step outside, Black sees that a Musical Hall has been built! Black looks on in amazement as White basically runs the entire production, making all the decisions necessary to ensure a smooth show. Black, not wanting to get into his boss' way, wanders around backstage. There, he meets the Raimon City Gym Leader Kamitsure and challenges her to a battle. She asks for him to wait until after the show's over, so he has no choice but to wait for opening day.
Notes about the English version
Page 28, Panel Four: Grimsley's "Heh. It appears you're the kind of guy who sees things in polar opposites...in black and white..." has a little nod to the name of the games this series is based on, but the Japanese version does not. Instead, Giima says Iki sugiru hodo ni icchokusen na yatsu,...ka (行きすぎるほどに一直線なヤツ、…か), or
Page 44, Panel Two: Kamitsure tells Black that (聞いてたとおりたしかにカッコいいわね). For some reason, Viz changes this to "She's right. You are pretty cute."
The day of the Pokemon Musical has arrived! Kamitsure gets on stage and explains how they're going to show them pokemon who have been dressed up with items from something called a Goods Case. Backstage, White finds out that the Goods Cases she was planning to hand out to everyone at the end of the show haven't arrived yet because of trouble at the Hodomoe drawbridge! As White tries to figure out another way to get the goods to her audience in time, Kamitsure leads Black to her Gym. Eventually, White decides to have her agency foot the bill for a cargo plane to pick up the cases and drop them off at the Musical Hall. The plane, piloted by the Fukiyose City Gym Leader Fuuro, dazzles the crowd by skywriting a message before delivering the cargo. The audience members all walk away with their own Goods Cases, eager to participate in the following day's festivities. Everyone thanks White for her hard work and tells her to go to the hotel and rest. On the way back, she bumps into N and allows herself to be led into the car of a ferris wheel, unaware of who he really is.

Black has arrived at the Raimon City Gym! The young trainer is greeted by the Gym Leader Kamitsure and is told to ride the indoor roller coaster to her battlefield at the back of the gym. When he arrives, the safety bar on his car won't budge, trapping him in the car! Black wants to go through with the battle anyway, so he sends out his Dentula to fight Kamitsure's Zebraika. As the roller coaster starts up again, Kamitsure's pokemon absorbs Tula's electric attacks and finishes it off with a powerful Nitro Charge. Next, Black calls on his Charbu. His pokemon is caught off guard when Zebraika uses Volt Change to switch places with Kamitsure's Emonga, but he's eventually able to use this to his advantage by striking the spot where he knows Zebraika will reappear. As Black's car goes around a loop, he uses his new airborne status to his advantage, striking Emonga from above and defeating Kamitsure's second pokemon. After Black's given the Volt Badge, the roller coaster takes him outside where he's attacked by the legendary pokemon Voltlus. The electric shock frees him from the roller coaster, enabling Black to leave the Gym and continue his journey.
