When last seen, {{Ash}} is shocked to learn that his first-round opponent in the Victory Tournament will be against {{Gary}}, his eternal rival. After exchanging trash-talk, among which involved a half of a {{ball|Poké}}, Ash is enraged at the notion of Gary threatening to sweep him at the tournament. That night, back in his suite, Ash rummages through his [[bag|backpack]] to find the other half (the smaller white half) of the Poké Ball, and proceeds to tell {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} | When last seen, {{Ash}} is shocked to learn that his first-round opponent in the Victory Tournament will be against {{Gary}}, his eternal rival.

It had been a few days before Ash first left to start his journey as a Pokémon Trainer. Fishing by a stream, he manages to catch a {{p|Magikarp}}, which proceeds to slap him in the face before falling back into the water. Gary, on the other side of the stream, appears to taunt Ash in both his skills and knowledge of Pokémon (Ash being unable to name any of Magikarp's attacks, including the {{m|Flail}} that was used on him, and Gary says Magikarp is the weakest Pokémon). The two had liked the stream as a fishing spot, and the rivalry escalates to the point that both Trainers are fishing in the same spot (but from opposite banks). When both Ash and Gary catch a bite, both reel their lines in, but discover that both had caught onto the same rusted Poké Ball. After a brief tug-of-war, the Poké Ball breaks in half. Though Ash was willing to accept that the "fishing battle" was a draw, Gary had declared it a loss, as "tying with Ash was just as bad as losing" - a position that he held to this very day. | It had been a few days before Ash first left to start his journey as a Pokémon Trainer.
