Initial challenge

"I am Gene, the Master of the Rock Club! Rock is good...Isn't rock good, <player>...? Rock is hard and strong! Doesn't crumble under pressure! After you duel me, you'll know I'm right! Come! Show me what you're made of!"

No: "I have no time for a softie like you! Come back here after you've hardened your nerve!"

Yes:"Our duel will be played with 6 prizes! You won't get the Rock Medal unless you defeat me!"

"Wonderful... Your persistence - persistence that can even break rock - has led you to defeat me! You are worthy of receiving this Rock Medal! And take this booster pack, too. ...And another booster pack: Mystery."
