Pokémon RSE Hoenn Ep.5 – Norman & the Weather Institute

The Story

The Trainer Trio returns to Petalburg City for the long-awaited battle against Norman—who also happens to be their in-game father. Unfortunately, family ties do not make his two Slaking any less terrifying.

Before confronting Dad, the Trio explores Route 111’s desert, chooses its fossils, and reveals Sean’s locked-out Pokémon. After surviving Norman’s Normal-type Gym, they investigate New Mauville, finally learn how to Surf, and travel through Hoenn’s rain-soaked routes toward the Weather Institute.

Along the way, Chris desperately recruits a Grass-type counter for Sean, Dustin continues his campaign against type matchups, and Team Aqua and Team Magma attempt to steal research connected to a mysterious weather-changing Pokémon. Castform may not be the storm-maker Caspian is searching for—but it could point him toward something much more powerful.

With Sean still undefeated, can Chris or Dustin finally bring his streak to an end?
