Blake wakes up around 4:00 AM, and after taking a few minutes to prepare himself for the day, tracks down his other Pokemon and returns Varen to the PC system before making his way out into the arena proper. Seeing Collin in a discussion with Joan, he decides to do a sweep of the area for any dangerous Pokemon that might be prowling the streets during the pre-dawn hours. He quickly forges a mental bond with Celeste as he heads out.
