==Plot==
[[Byron]], the Gym Leader of [[Canalave City]], has finally returned from his training on [[Iron Island]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} come to the Gym in order for Ash to have his Gym Battle with Byron. However, they are once again met by the Gym's referee who informs Ash that Byron cannot accept a challenge as he is currently arguing with his son. Upon entering the Gym Ash and his friends find Byron's son is none other than [[Roark]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. He greets Ash and friends, but then gets back to fighting with his father over who loves Fossils more. In an attempt to prove his love of Fossils Byron shows Roark, Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Dawn}} his collection of Fossils, including his special {{p|Anorith}} Fossil which is three times the size of a normal Anorith. Byron and Roark then begin to fight over who has the better revived Fossil Pokémon, [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bastiodon}} or [[Roark's Rampardos]]. Ash suggests they battle to see whose Fossil Pokémon is better.

Before the battle, Ash and his friends are speaking to Roark, where it is revealed that Roark is there to convince his father to come home to [[Oreburgh City]] for his parents' anniversary. A flashback is shown, in which Byron leaves Oreburgh for Canalave City, since the Pokémon League asked him to take over the Gym there. He also states that Iron Island will be a good place for him to find more Fossils. He leaves Roark in charge of the Oreburgh Gym where he was formerly the Gym Leader. He also leaves his wife behind in his move. Brock mentions that this reminds him of a {{ka|Flint|father he knows}}.

* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub, {{m|Iron Head}} is referred to as both ''Cabeça de Ferro'' and ''Cabeçada de Ferro''. Both names are used interchangeably throughout the remainder of [[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|this series]] and the [[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|next one]], but the former has been made official by [[Pokémon GO]] and has been used exclusively in the anime since ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.
** Notably, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} is also called by two names in this episode: ''Cabeça Zen'' and ''Cabeçada Zen''. As the former is only ever used in the first half of this episode, the reason behind this is probably to establish a naming parallel between the two [[move]]s.
