Their reunion is cut short, however, when a chunk of solid ice comes tumbling out of the sky. The group examine the object and discover that a {{p|Sunkern}} is frozen inside. {{an|Brock}} snatches it up and the friends rush it off to be treated at the [[Pokémon Center]]. | ||
Todd relates that he saw a lodge earlier and they could they could take it there. At the lodge, they see an old lady named [[Sophia]], who suggests that Brock can put it into a basin of hot water to melt the ice. After a while the ice melts, and Sunkern comes back to life. She then mentions that the lodge is named the [[Sunflora Lodge]], and starts to explain the long, old story behind the naming of the lodge; insisting that the group listen, though they initially find it boring. | Todd relates that he saw a lodge earlier and they could they could take it there.

As she starts her story, the group realizes that it is actually a sweet but pitiful love story that takes place about 50 years ago between her and her lover, [[Marcello]]. Her lover, now her husband Marcello then appears and reveals that it was only some fictitious story that Sophia had cooked up that involved the both of them. | As she starts her story, the group realizes that it is actually a sweet but pitiful love story that takes place about 50 years ago between her and her lover, [[Marcello]].

Brock claims that this year would then be their golden anniversary and that the 50th picture would make a special one. Marcello sighs and explains that there wouldn't be one as the weather is unusually cold this year and none of the {{p|Sunflora}} would appear. | ||
But with the only Sunkern that they have, the couple decide that they should still take their 50th anniversary picture. When they reach the slope, the couple tries to come up with another fictional story when [[Team Rocket]] decide to show up with their giant snow blower to create trouble. They are buried in snow with no means of defending themselves, as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are stuck under snow as well. | But with the only Sunkern that they have, the couple decide that they should still take their 50th anniversary picture.
