After Ash competes in the Hoenn League, Ash and Brock return to [[Kanto]] while May and Max return to [[Petalburg City]]. While on his way home to [[Pallet Town]], Ash meets [[Scott]], who, after observing Ash's battle skills, invites him to enter the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

While in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], Ash encountered all three of those regions' [[first partner Pokémon]] and caught each, in this series Ash's only capture of a first partner Pokémon was {{TP|Ash|Treecko}}, while his friends, May and Brock, caught a {{TP|May|Torchic}} and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, respectively. Also, unlike when he traveled to the [[Orange Archipelago]] and [[Johto]], Ash left behind all of his Pokémon at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s, bringing only {{AP|Pikachu}}. Another change was new clothing for Ash and Brock. No longer did Ash wear the {{AP|hat}} he claimed to have sent in a million postcards for, but instead a completely different outfit. Misty also received a new outfit during her return appearances. | ||
