"アドバンス" = "adobansu" = "advance" (as in Game Boy Advance--there's no D on the end), not "advanced." They may have added a D in the English versions, but it's not there in the Japanese name.

In this series, Ash travels through the [[Hoenn]] region in an effort to compete in the [[Hoenn League]] there. He is joined not by {{an|Misty}}, who had been his continuous companion for the entirety of the {{series|original}}, but {{an|May}}, a rookie Trainer from [[Petalburg City]] who at first merely wishes to travel. Eventually, she learns of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and declares herself a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], training to win [[Ribbon|Ribbons]] in [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contests]] so she can enter the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|Grand Festival]]. May's brother, [[Max]], also travels with the group and helps map out routes to take using his [[PokéNav]]. However, Max is too young to have his own Pokémon. {{an|Brock}}, Ash's near-constant adviser, returns soon after the start of the series, while Misty makes two several-episode cameo appearances.
