Sub-Lieutenant Braga was not interested in playing the game, but was ordered to do so.

A {{p|Dragonite}} spawned, so the Commander Peçanha instructed him to catch it without letting other people know about it, and further explained that Sub-Lieutenant Braga should use a [[Razz Berry]], throw an [[Ultra Ball]] and shout "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]".

In the post-credits scene, a real terrorist appeared with bombs, but the Sergeant talked with him in a friendly manner and told him to go explode elsewhere because that's the location of his [[Gym]]. | | ** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGixUd6jjs4 TERRORISMO] (English: ''TERRORISM''), Sub-Lieutenant Braga was ordered to safely dispose of a bag that might contain a bomb, while Commander Peçanha was giving instructions on the phone.
