After many exciting adventures in [[Hoenn]], {{Ash}} has finally made it to his [[Pokémon League|fourth official tournament]], the [[Hoenn League]]. Not wanting to let the other competitors get ahead of him, we find Ash along with {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, {{AP|Grovyle}} and a new addition to the team, {{AP|Glalie}}, {{pkmn|training}} on the beach in preparation for the tough {{pkmn|battle}}s ahead of them. Watching them is {{an|May}}, [[Max]] and {{an|Brock}}. May however, seems more interested in the sights, sounds and food of [[Ever Grande City]] than Ash training his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. While Brock suggests that they should go to a [[Pokémon Center]], Ash decides to do some attack training in order to get his Pokémon ready for the Preliminaries that would take place later that day: at Ash's command, Grovyle performs a {{m|Quick Attack}} along the beach, while dodging Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s and Glalie's {{m|Ice Beam}}. | After many exciting adventures in [[Hoenn]], {{Ash}} has finally made it to his [[Pokémon League|fourth official tournament]], the [[Hoenn League]].

The episode ends with a celebration event to mark the start of the real Hoenn League Tournament, with Ash being the one chosen to light the sacred League torch. However, watching on television are {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Delia}}, {{Tracey}}, {{an|Misty}}, [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]]. Ash lights the torch, while the celebration balloons float off into the distance. | The episode ends with a celebration event to mark the start of the real Hoenn League Tournament, with Ash being the one chosen to light the sacred League torch.
