'''A Trainer and Child Reunion!''' (Japanese: '''四天王リョウ！出会いと別れの森！''' ''{{tt|Four Heavenly Kings|Elite Four}} {{tt|Ryou|Aaron}}! Forest of Meeting and Separation!'') is the 99th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 565th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It aired in Japan on October 23, 2008 and in the United States on March 28, 2009.

==Synopsis==

During their journey to [[Hearthome City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop by a town and where they see a large crowd. [[Officer Jenny]] arrives and tells them if they are there to observe, they need to get in line. As usual, Brock falls in love with Jenny, swearing by her beauty that he will do what she wants, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} puts him down and drags him off. Jenny is bemused that they don't know the reason for the crowd - someone named {{EF|Aaron}} is having a public practice session. Neither Ash nor Brock recognise the name, but after a pause, Dawn gasps and fishes out this month's PokéSheet, explaining that he is from the [[Elite Four]].

Aaron signs an autograph for a young girl, who barely containing her emotions, runs off telling him she'll remember the moment for the rest of her life. Aaron smiles at Dawn, noting that she's the last one and Dawn introduces herself and hands over her PokéSheet. She then boldly says that Cynthia told her that the Elite Four are powerful battlers and she would not go easy on him. Aaron is surprised and asks if they know Cynthia personally, which Dawn and the others confirm. Ash says they'll be rooting for both of them. Aaron notes that Cynthia is very powerful but he has been training even harder, which Drapion, Vespiquen and Skorupi make assertions in support of. Ash tells Aaron his dreams of perhaps one day even becoming an Elite Four member, which Aaron tells him to go for. He then invites them to his training center, which he would consider an honour from friends of Cynthia. Brock excitedly tells the others what a privilege this would be, and they reply that they would love to come.

Aaron finishes training and takes his towel from Skorupi, whilst Ash has collapsed in exhaustion and Aaron suggests a break. Dawn asks about the Wurmple in the photo, and Aaron told them that Wurmple was his first capture, in the forest nearby. He had grown up in town and would sneak out to the forest as much as he could. As a small kid, he really liked to climb trees. One day he challenged himself to climb the lengthiest tree in the forest. However, once he got to the top, he realized how tall it was and how he could never climb down, but luckily there was a Wurmple on the tree who was able to help him, getting him safely down. Aaron grabbed Wurmple and hugged it in thanks. Aaron reveals that he and Wurmple were best friends and shows them photo albums of the two growing up. Ash reminisces about his first capture: the {{type|Bug}} {{AP|Caterpie}}, which evolved all the way into {{AP|Butterfree}} before he released it. He wonders about where it is and how it's doing.

* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: {{p|Charmander}}

* While Team Rocket discusses the advantages of stealing Aaron's Pokémon, Wobbuffet manifests itself right after a noise of it coming out of its Poké Ball, even though it was already out, as shown in the scene before.

* After Team Rocket's balloon crashes, Wobbuffet comes out of its Poké Ball while they are all on the ground. Shortly after that, Meowth is seen alone on the balloon, and Wobbuffet comes out once again of its Poké Ball. This is clearly a mistake, since the Poké Ball should stay with Jessie, and not Meowth.

* When Team Rocket blasts off, Seviper and Carnivine disappears.
