• Heath declined the offer, but Charizard took the flyer and showed interest.
• Bewear displayed its muscles in a bodybuilding pose, and Charizard removed his weights and posed back at it.

Heath watched Charizard and Bewear compete over bodybuilding poses and reflected on gym culture in Lavender Town and Pewter City. When Ralts pointed out the ketchup, Heath realized that feeding the Ghost-type Pokémon might help him complete two tasks at once.

• Heath served the Resurrection Lettuce to Ralts and asked how it tasted.

After completing Lavender Town's achievement, Heath used his Item Upgrade Ticket on the Broken Anywhere Door. The door became usable but could only be used once a week, and Heath considered traveling to the Sinnoh Region to see Cynthia.

• Ralts ate Resurrection Lettuce, completing Heath's Special Mission: Reincarnation Eyes and another task, and he received a Special Attack Candy and a Special Reward.
• Heath learned that Reincarnation Eyes let him see lingering human or Pokémon souls by chance, and he planned to ask Officer Jenny about the follow-up achievement and the remains of Gardevoir and Ralts.
• Heath received one Item Upgrade Ticket for completing the Lavender Town achievement and found that it could only be used on granted items, not Dialga's Pressure Cooker.
• Heath chose to upgrade the Broken Anywhere Door rather than the Ingredient Identifier or the Magic Conch.
• The upgrade turned the Broken Anywhere Door into a Flawed Anywhere Door that could take him to a chosen destination once per week.
• Heath wondered whether he could use the door to visit Cynthia in the Sinnoh Region.

Heath used the Anywhere Door to travel from Lavender Town to Eterna City in Sinnoh, where he met up with Cynthia. He discovered that unfinished Kanto travel achievements prevented him from earning Sinnoh achievements and left the story with Cynthia arriving in disguise.
