[The holder is one Roy Mustang. A close look at the background will show that he's currently in Goldenrod City.]

Well, that's it. I've got all eight badges of Johto. All done in under a year, too. Who's willing to bet that that's a record? I know I'm willing to bet it is.

So, now it looks like I either get to just hang around until the Pokémon League begins accepting challengers, or go for the badges of Kanto. I suppose I have some time to think about it.

Hey, Hughes! How about joining me for a drink to celebrate my achievement? My treat!

Kato and Ishtar...no, can't say those names have any meaning to me. Do you know anything about them?

I'm afraid I don't. Unfortunately, you don't learn much as a grunt...

[ Pause. ]

You know, this would be a lot easier if we switched places. You're the ambitious jackass who wants to climb to the top. I'm just a family man.

Too late for me to become a double agent now. The organization is filled with too many of my enemies, even if they are all from home.

[Roy still has no idea that Cobra Commander considers him a threat.]

Ah, that's the Flame Alchemist. Always making enemies.

[ Grinning and mostly joking. ] Does this mean I should stop associating with you as well? It might be bad for my image to be seen around you.

[king_of_flames]

What, you can't turn it into a convincing double agent story for the others?

[derpsaboutfamily]

I'll have to take a few more lessons from you before I get to that level!

[king_of_flames]

Hey, even I'm not the authority. I never did tell you what happened when I tried to go to Lieutenant General Raven, did I?

[derpsaboutfamily]

No, you haven't... I'm taking it didn't work?

It backfired completely. I used a secret test of character that General Grumman clued me in on, then slipped the fact that Bradley was a homunculus to him as if it were a rumor.

Turns out he and the rest of the senior staff were in on the plot.

[ Laughing at that. ]

I'll remember to skip out on that sort of test of character.
