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 original series, 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]]s so she can enter the [[Hoenn 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.

After Ash competes in the Hoenn League, Ash and Brock return to [[Kanto]] while May and Max return to [[Petalburg City]]. While on his way home to [[Pallet Town]], Ash meets [[Scott]], who after observing Ash's battle skills invites him to enter the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He travels around Kanto in an effort to complete the Battle Frontier and is joined again by Brock, Max and May - who is now aiming to compete in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

The ''Advanced Generation'' series saw a change in the formula followed by the original series, as well. While in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], Ash encountered all three of those regions' [[starter Pokémon]] and caught each, in this series Ash's only capture of a starter was {{TP|Ash|Treecko}}, while his friends, May and Brock, caught a {{TP|May|Torchic}} and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, respectively. Also, unlike when he traveled to the [[Orange Archipelago]] and [[Johto]], Ash left behind all of his Pokémon at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s, bringing only {{AP|Pikachu}}. Another change was new clothing for Ash and Brock. No longer did Ash wear the {{AP|hat}} he claimed to have sent in a million postcards for, but instead a completely different outfit. Misty also received a new outfit during her return appearances.
