{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] step outside the [[Pokémon Center]], ready to depart to [[Fortree City]]. However, {{AP|Pikachu}} warns the group that {{an|May}} isn’t ready yet.

May states that its normal to do so, but Ash doesn’t, shocking May. When Ash responds that he isn’t a girl, May condescends him, making Ash even more angry. | {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] step outside the [[Pokémon Center]], ready to depart to [[Fortree City]].

* There is a 2 second shot of Jessie pulling her eyelid down and sticking out her tongue at the same time. This was cut from the dub. This is mainly because it was a common action in Japan, but not outside Japan (especially US). | |||
