As the smoke clears, both {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} are left with the same amount of points, and the match is a tie. They are both happy about this and the crowd gives them a huge cheer, as Ash and May meet in the center of the field and shake hands.

They are both happy about this and the crowd gives them a huge cheer, as Ash and May meet in the center of the field and shake hands. [[Nurse Joy]] presents the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} to Ash and May; however, there is only one medal because she was not expecting the tie. Ash and May have an idea: May grabs the Medal, throws it in the air, and Ash orders Sceptile to use {{m|Leaf Blade}} slicing the Medal in half so that both of them can share it. | ||
Later that evening, Ash, May, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, and all of their Pokémon are sitting around a bench having some hard earned dinner. Brock places his freshly cooked stew on the bench; May however seems somewhat distant. She announces that she is leaving to go to [[Johto]] alone to compete in the Pokémon Contests there, meaning Max will also have to leave and return to his parents in [[Petalburg City]]. She explains that she has had a great time traveling through [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] with Brock and Ash but she has been thinking about going off to Johto for a while now and the fact that they are finished in Kanto is perfect for her and Max to leave. | Later that evening, Ash, May, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, and all of their Pokémon are sitting around a bench having some hard-earned dinner.

Max is very upset, getting up and walking off, ignoring May's calls. Ash gets up and pursues Max and Pikachu follows too. Max sits on a swing over the other side of the park, Ash follows close behind and starts to offer comforting words to Max. He knows Max is upset that he will be missing his friends and Max explains that when he was watching Ash and May battle in the Contest he wanted so much to be doing it too; all he wants to do is grow up quick so he can be a Trainer too and get to do all the things they do. Ash says once Max becomes a {{pkmn|Trainer}} he promises to challenge him to a battle which brightens Max up and he jumps to his feet to acknowledge Ash. Suddenly from the distance a large horn goes off, the boat which Max and May are supposed to be leaving on is due to depart in five minutes! Our heroes run off down the lane to the harbor and luckily make it in time. Max, May, and her Pokémon all wave goodbye to Ash, Brock and their Pokémon as they sail off into the sunset. | Max is very upset, getting up and walking off, ignoring May's calls.

Team Rocket finish pulling in Electivire but then a voice comes from atop the ridge and tells them to let go of the Pokémon they have got in the net and the person jumps down from atop the ridge and reveals himself. Much to Team Rocket's shock, the owner of the voice happens to be {{Gary}}! Gary orders {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} to use Iron Tail, which it does and breaks free from the net. Team Rocket are furious and jump to try and grab Electivire but Gary orders a {{m|Thunder Punch}} which scores a direct hit and knocks Team Rocket away. Once Team Rocket are gone Ash tries to use his [[Pokédex]] to get some information on Electivire but there is no data available. | Team Rocket finish pulling in Electivire but then a voice comes from atop the ridge and tells them to let go of the Pokémon they have got in the net and the person jumps down from atop the ridge and reveals himself.

Later on, Ash arrives home and calls for his mother at his house, but neither she nor [[Mimey]] are around. He runs over to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] but he cannot find {{Tracey}} or Oak anywhere. He thinks this is really strange and starts to wander around the rooms.

Outside the lab Ash and Gary are lined up ready to battle, Tracey is refereeing while Delia and Oak watch from the sidelines. Gary sends out Electivire and Ash sends out Pikachu, Pikachu starts with a Thunderbolt while Electivire counters with another Thunderbolt. Pikachu tries a {{m|Quick Attack}} but Electivire uses its tail to jump into the air out of the way and uses Iron Tail, which Pikachu counters with its own Iron Tail attack.

Ash calls Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}} on Electivire but Electivire uses {{m|Protect}} and then finishes Pikachu off with a powerful Thunder Punch.

Ash sits there and starts to talk to himself about Sinnoh and the newly discovered Pokémon. Delia watches on and senses the change in his heart. Ash stands up and announces his move to go to Sinnoh. As night time comes Delia is upstairs with a sparkle in her eye. She is sewing together fabric while talking of Ash. | ||

She grabbed Ash's hat and gives it back to Ash, who welcomes Aipom to the Sinnoh team. On the side of the boat, Team Rocket are hanging on for their lives, determined to follow Ash and Pikachu anywhere so that they can steal the latter and give him to the boss. Then, they get washed up by a wave as the boat sails off into the distance to Sinnoh where Ash's newest adventures await. | ||
