{{ | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are traveling along a road at dusk. At certain crossroads, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} bid farewell farewell to Ash in turns and head back to their respective hometowns. Ash himself soon arrives back in [[Pallet Town]] and returns to [[Player's house|his home]], where his mother {{Delia}} immediately has him and {{AP|Pikachu}} take a bath while she washes his clothes and prepares dinner for them. After the bath, Ash joins his mother and [[Mimey]] at the dinner table and starts telling her stories of his travels with Misty and Brock. Later, while laying down in his bed, Ash wonders out loud how {{an|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are doing, before falling asleep with Pikachu. | ||
The next morning, Delia wakes Ash up and reminds him of his planned visit to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], as well as of dressing up properly as he almost rushes out in his pajamas. She also offers him a new pair of [[List of clothing in the anime|shoes]] to replace his current worn-out pair, but he holds off on wearing them for now as he runs off. At the lab's entrance, Ash meets up with {{Tracey}}, who's heading out to run an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}. He tells Ash that the [[starter Pokémon]] he had come to see just arrived, so Ash rushes inside, where it turns out that {{p|Charmander}} is missing. Ash starts searching for it outside the laboratory with the help of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, but initially has no luck. Finally, though, Pikachu locates it at the bottom of a small cave. Ash descends down and helps it get back up. While climbing out himself, he receives an unexpected helping hand from {{Gary}}, who reveals that he's actually the one who brought the starter Pokémon to the lab. While Professor Oak does a check-up on all three starters, Gary prepares to head out again, though not before taking the time to congratulate Ash on his [[JN132|victory]] at the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. He then asks Ash what he intends to do now in order to reach his dream of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]]. The question causes Ash to fall deep into thought. Gary, noticing this, simply smiles and waves him goodbye. The question keeps distracting Ash even as he walks back home, though he eventually pushes it aside for the time being. | |||
While Ash spends the following days enjoying his mother's food and spending time with his Pokémon at Oak's lab, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are working at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}'s cafeteria, making and serving food to dozens of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The work is hectic, and even the breaks they have seem short. They still harbor animosity towards each other and refuse to talk to each other, much to the worry of {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. | |||
[[File:Ash and Pidgeot.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash reuniting with Pidgeot]] | |||
One day, Ash decides to venture out to [[Viridian Forest]]. While he enjoys taking in the environment and Pokémon around him, Meowth is secretly sneaking through the tall grass nearby in the hopes of nabbing Pikachu. Unexpectedly, he bumps into Jessie and James, who had also gotten the same idea of coming here. Tired of working at the cafeteria, the [[Team Rocket trio]] rekindles their friendship and decides to work together once more. They launch their attack, snatching Pikachu in a net and reciting their {{motto}} to celebrate their reunion. At the same time, Ash realizes he had left all of his other Pokémon at Oak's lab, meaning he's got nothing to fight with. The Rocket trio laughs at his careless behavior and fends off his desperate charge, but they're suddenly cut off by a gust of wind and a loud [[cry]]. A {{AP|Pidgeot}} swoops down from the sky and cuts the net open with {{m|Wing Attack}}, freeing Pikachu. Ash is elated at the sight of Pidgeot, whom the Rocket trio recognizes as the [[evolution|evolved]] form of Ash's {{p|Pidgeotto}}. Pikachu delivers the usual blast-off {{m|Thunderbolt}}, though the Team Rocket trio is happy to be together again and vows to never give up on chasing after Pikachu as a team as they disappear into the distance. Ash, meanwhile, properly greets Pidgeot for the first time after a long while. Pidgeot's flock also shows up, having grown up a lot since Ash [[EP081|last saw them]]. He invites Pidgeot to come along with him once more, which it happily agrees to after receiving an approval from its flock, properly reuniting Ash with one of his oldest partners. | |||
The next day, Ash sets out to wander around without a clear destination. After observing a group of {{p|Poliwag}} and a {{p|Poliwhirl}} floating on their backs on a river, Ash lays down on the riverbank with Pikachu, pondering about Gary's question. He and Pikachu fall asleep, but are awakened when a rainstorm starts pouring down, so they seek shelter under a big tree. As more and more Pokémon show up around them to do the same, Ash starts talking with Pikachu regarding what he thinks about Gary's question. Becoming a World Champion was never his ultimate goal, so he still considers himself a challenger. Every single meeting and adventure he has every day matters when he's working towards his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master, which he believes to be about befriending every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}. This is also why his [[JN146|meeting]] with Latios and the {{pkmn|category|Eon Pokémon}}'s refusal to truly befriend him had affected him so much. The rain eventually ends and the clouds part, revealing a beautiful rainbow. Ash asks Pikachu to be by his side when he eventually does become a Pokémon Master, and his partner happily accepts this request as he runs off. | |||
The following morning, Delia goes to wake Ash up, only to see that he's already headed out and left behind his old shoes in favor of the new ones. She wishes her son safe travels as he walks down a road, with Team Rocket still in relentless pursuit nearby. Reaching a crossroads, Pikachu offers Ash a twig, and he tosses it into the air to decide which way his {{pkmn|journey}} will take him next. | |||
