Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator on the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from [[Poké Ball#Super Smash Bros.|Poké Balls]]. Occasionally, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, and other {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon will appear in the background. | Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator on the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from [[Poké Ball#Super Smash Bros.|Poké Balls]].

He battles the player with a {{p|Kadabra}} and a {{p|Mr. Mime}}. After the battle, he says that it's a long way to his boss, indirectly referring to Giovanni, which hints that Dalton is associated with [[Team Rocket]] (though is clearly not a grunt).

This is another reference of the real world in Pokémon games, and shows that Silph probably has more branches than just the one in Saffron City. | ||
