Ash and {{ashfr}} then head to [[Oldale Town]] to say their goodbyes before heading their separate ways. While preparing to eat lunch, {{an|May}} comments on how she and Max are going to miss {{an|Brock}}'s cooking when they return to [[Petalburg City]] and wishes they could bring some of Brock's recipes with them. Ash asks if they will remember to say hello to [[Norman]] for him, and [[Max]] promises to do that as well as tell him that Ash should have won the Ever Grande Conference, much to Ash's embarrassment. Brock tells Ash that they should stop by to see [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]]. May and Max tell Ash that they will make sure to visit him in [[Pallet Town]] some time. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} pops out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and eats their lunch of [[rice ball]]s, but Brock had prepared extras just in case. Before May and Max split off to return home to Petalburg City, the four friends say their goodbyes and tell each other to make sure to keep in touch. | ||
{{TRT}} returns to the Team Rocket headquarters to speak to {{an|Giovanni}} about | {{TRT}} returns to the {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket headquarters}} to speak to {{an|Giovanni}} about their progress they made in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. They are reluctant to face him and are worried that he will be very upset with him, but go in anyway. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say that they were the ones responsible for taking down [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], forcing them to disband. Giovanni does not believe them, but gives them a new assignment and says that it is their reward for their hard work. As they are leaving, Team Rocket comments that being convincing does pay off and reward them, revealing that Giovanni had assigned them to {{wp|Antarctica}}, although none of them has ever heard of it. Just then, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] run into Jessie and James with motorized scooters and yell at them to move out of the way. Jessie tells them that they were given a top-secret mission and tries to knock Cassidy over. Cassidy tells Jessie that Giovanni was just trying to get rid of them. They continue glaring and arguing with each other, until a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} runs up to Cassidy and Butch, saying that [[Dr. Namba|Professor Namba]] has a very important assignment for them, and they rush off. Stepping outside, the trio decides to start anew as a new and improved Team Rocket, only to then get laughed at by Butch and Cassidy, who fly off with her packs. The trio demands their own equipment from a nearby Grunt, but another Grunt then shows up, telling them that he's got their promised equipment for them. To the trio's embarrassment, however, their "equipment" turns out to be set of pogo sticks. They bounce away on them, but accidentally fall over. | ||
May and Max arrive in their hometown of Petalburg City. [[ | May and Max arrive in their hometown of Petalburg City. [[Caroline]] greets them and tells them that Norman is out shopping at the moment. They go to see the Pokémon in the greenhouse and May brings out all of her Pokémon to play. {{TP|May|Skitty}} falls asleep in a tree, {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} smells some flowers, and the other Pokémon run around and play. Meanwhile, Ash and Brock have reached a crossroads and split up to head to their respective [[hometown]]s. While stopping for a break a bit later, Ash spots a {{p|Poliwag}} and asks Max to come look at it, before remembering that he is all by himself now. On his way through [[Viridian City]], Ash notices that the [[Viridian Gym]] has been rebuilt after it [[EP063|collapsed]]. A man introducing himself as [[Scott]] approaches him and asks if he is there to challenge the [[Gym Leader]], but Ash tells him that he has already won the {{Badge|Earth}}. Scott is impressed and tells Ash that he may be a good enough {{pkmn|Trainer}} to challenge the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. However, before Scott can explain more, an older woman screams as she falls off of her [[bicycle|bike]] nearby and Ash and Scott go to check on her. The woman introduces herself to be [[Agatha]] and tells Ash that she's been working as the new Viridian Gym Leader for several months now. She takes the two into the Gym, and Ash notices that it now looks significantly different than the last time he was there, all thanks to a new coat of paint. Agatha asks Scott how his search for a strong Trainer from the [[Seafoam Islands]] is going, but Scott says the information is confidential. Agatha asks Ash whether he is there to challenge the Gym and Ash explains that he has already won a Badge from the Gym. Scott suggests that Ash should {{pkmn|battle}} Agatha just for fun, and she admits that she defeated the last two Trainers who had come to the Gym with ease and could use a little challenge. Ash mentions how he had just made it to the top eight at the Ever Grande Conference, impressing both Agatha and Scott. By Agatha's request, Scott agrees to act as a [[Battle judge|referee]]. | ||
Ash calls out {{AP|Pikachu}}, while Agatha chooses {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}, whom Ash scans with his [[Pokédex]]. Pikachu starts out with {{m|Quick Attack}}, which simply phases through Gengar since it is a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Agatha criticizes Ash for forgetting such a basic detail. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} as Gengar flattens its body to move under Pikachu and dodge the attack. Gengar uses {{m|Shadow Ball}} as Pikachu dodges. Pikachu then uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to hit Gengar, sending it to the ceiling. As Pikachu leaps in for another attack, Gengar uses Shadow Ball and hits Pikachu. Pikachu climbs over the Shadow Ball and prepares for another Iron Tail, but Gengar uses {{m|Double Team}} to completely surround Pikachu. Gengar starts charging for a Shadow Ball as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to hit all the fakes and the real one. Despite being hot, Gengar is able to release the Shadow Ball, which Pikachu dodges before using Iron Tail to land another hit. Just before Pikachu is about to finish it off with {{m|Thunder}}, Gengar uses {{m|Hypnosis}} to stop the attack, before following up with {{m|Dream Eater}} to defeat Pikachu. Agatha compliments Ash of the good battle, and he admits to Agatha that he's not even nearly as strong as she is. Scott comments that Ash shouldn't expect to have beaten one of the [[Elite Four]]. While Ash expresses his surprise at Agatha's status, she explains that the official Gym Leader hasn't arrived yet, so she's just filling in for the time being. | |||
Meanwhile, Team Rocket | Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been observing the battle and comment on how strong Pikachu really is. They decide to try to capture it and lower their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] behind the Gym. In front of the Gym, Scott asks Ash if he is still interested in challenging the Battle Frontier and begins to explain how it works. He explains that there are seven Battle Frontier facilities spread out across Kanto that are run by Trainers known as [[Frontier Brain]]s, who are like Gym Leaders but more powerful. Like Gym Leaders hand out Gym Badges, each of the Frontier Brains hands out a [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]] if defeated, and once six Symbols have been earned, the location of the [[Battle Pyramid|secret seventh facility]] will be revealed. Ash decides to challenge the Battle Frontier and Team Rocket, having eavesdropped the entire conversation, decides to make it their next target. Team Rocket then grabs Pikachu with a mechanical grabber, before revealing themselves and reciting their brand-new {{motto}}. They try to get away, but Agatha's {{p|Golbat}} uses {{m|Air Cutter}} to cut the grabber's rope, freeing Pikachu. Agatha tells them to leave while they still can, but they stubbornly refuse. Jessie brings out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} while James brings out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to attack. Seviper uses {{m|Bite}} while Pikachu uses Quick Attack to dodge and grab onto Seviper's tail to throw it. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send Seviper flying back into the balloon. Cacnea uses {{m|Pin Missile}} while Golbat uses {{m|Supersonic}} to send it back at Team Rocket. Golbat uses Air Cutter while Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send Team Rocket blasting off. Scott lets Ash know that they will be contacting him soon about the Battle Frontier and Agatha says she will support him all of the way. | ||

He's surprised to see Misty having an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, and she explains that {{Tracey}} gave it to her as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. [[Mimey]] also greets Ash and is holding Ash's lunch that he prepared. Ash hears a car horn and looks outside to see that Max and Professor Birch have come to visit him as well. | ||
