Young Blake and Heath's parents

Blake and Heath's mother first showed up in the episode when Blake and Heath, accompanied by Ash and his friends, visited their home. She treated Bonnie, who just had a small accident. She told the group more about Blake and Heath's youth and how they would go on adventures, hurting themselves in the process. At that moment, Blake and Heath's father entered the room. He welcomed Ash and his friends, and told his sons they looked stronger than before, as they had left home to train and had only just returned. He told them it was time to undergo the trial that had been passed down in their family from generation to generation to choose the next heir of the family. The trial consisted of a treasure hunt on the family's properties.

Blake and Heath brought several items, but none of them were the treasure the father was looking for. He gave them a couple of hints: the treasure was somewhere outside the mansion and was somehow connected to them. The brothers both remembered a place that was probably connected to this hint, but at the site, they only encountered an angry Exploud. They battled the Exploud and defeated it, and it was revealed the Exploud was actually their father's Pokémon. The father had used it to get Blake and Heath to remember how well they got along in their youth and that their closeness was the family's treasure. The brothers finally reconciled, and afterwards, they said their goodbyes to Ash and his friends as they continued on their journey.
