After scaling Mount Silver for the ultimate challenge, Gale and his partner Pokémon, Typhlosion, both froze to death, forced to repeat the same battle in a neverending cycle in unlife... This was until they were rescued by Articuno. After waking up at the base of the mountain, Gale promised he'd take better care of Typhlosion, and started rebuilding his life after being stuck for four years. He doesn't know what happened to his opponent, but he hopes he's doing okay.
