They've finally reached the site of the [[Hoenn League]]'s [[Ever Grande Conference]], where {{pkmn|trainer}}s who have earned their eight [[badge]]s will test their abilities. There's one week to go until the tournament starts, and {{Ash}} has some serious training to do. But as {{an|May}} points out, there's something else to do first. Get something good to eat. Namely, ramen. Because ramen is not just for real life. | ||

Inside, they're all moaning about the hard work of following the twerps, but when [[James]] suggests taking some time to rest, he is vetoed by [[Jessie]], who insists that if they stop now, they'll miss their chance at something big. She isn't sure what, but is quite certain there's something waiting for them. | ||
Evidently, there's a very good ramen shop somewhere in Ever Grande City, one of the best three in all Hoenn. This information, along with directions to get there, is in the Ever Grande Conference Shop and Restaurant Guide which May has. When she announces that she intends to hit all the good shops and restaurants in town while they're there, the males of the group appear somewhat taken aback. | Evidently, there's a very good ramen shop somewhere in Ever Grande City, one of the best three in all [[Hoenn]].

When she announces that she intends to hit all the good shops and restaurants in town while they're there, the males of the group appear somewhat taken aback. | ||
Some time later, as the group makes its way down a narrow back street somewhere in the city, Max asks his sister if she's really sure the shop is in a place like this. As she expresses her certainty, and the others express their doubts, we see that the group is being watched by a flock of Murkrow. A few moments later, one Murkrow steals the guide book, and the rest of the flock attacks. Pikachu drives them off temporarily, but more swoop down to take their place. The cycle continues until a Meowth - one wearing boots and a hat - comes to their rescue. | Some time later, as the group makes its way down a narrow back street somewhere in the city, [[Max]] asks his sister if she's really sure the shop is in a place like this.

The Meowth, with help from its trainer, drives off the current group of Murkrow, and for no apparent reason, no more come to take their place. Our heroes thank him for the help, and while he's saying it's no big deal, he sees the restaurant guide lying on the ground. It turns out he's also going to the same ramen shop. | The Meowth, with help from {{ho|Tyson|its trainer}}, drives off the current group of Murkrow, and for no apparent reason, no more come to take their place.

Next comes a scene in the ramen shop, where the trainer, named Tyson, tells Ash that he, too, will be in the tournament, and so they're rivals. Tyson and Brock exchange the standard set of compliments over how well the Meowth has been raised and the quality of Brock's Pokémon food. The conversation continues, with bonding between Tyson and the group, until Tyson notices the time. He has to get going, or he'll be late. | Next comes a scene in the ramen shop, where the trainer, named Tyson, tells Ash that he, too, will be in the tournament, and so they're rivals.

Tyson runs out of the shop, with Ash and the rest of the group close behind. Ash asks what the rush is, and Tyson replies that the sacred fire will be arriving soon. The sacred fire is the flame of {{p|Moltres}}, which will burn in the central torch of the tournament, and Tyson is one of the runners. | Tyson runs out of the shop, with Ash and the rest of the group close behind.

We cut to a scene where League President Goodshow, together with the local Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy and a small crowd of spectators, is waiting for the flame to arrive. In the bushes nearby, Team Rocket is listening. Jessie's intuition about something big was correct. Their next target is the flame. They'll be able to get a great price for it from a collector, and give part of it to the Boss. | We cut to a scene where League President [[Charles Goodshow]], together with the local [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] and a small crowd of spectators, is waiting for the flame to arrive.

The flame arrives by car, just as Tyson arrives and apologizes for being late. Then our heroes arrive, and when the League President greets Ash and Brock by name, May and Max are very impressed. Ash explains that they were torch runners once. May and Max are even more surprised than before when Goodshow knows May's name, too. He was impressed by her performance in the [[Grand Festival]], which he watched on TV. | The flame arrives by car, just as Tyson arrives and apologizes for being late.

In the bushes, Team Rocket's {{MTR}} watches, and doesn't seem to like what he sees. Jessie and James tell him to get moving, and all three run off to get started on their plan. Our heroes are about to set off for the stadium when Goodshow's limo pulls up, and he invites them to join him for the ride, since they're all heading to the same place. | ||
As Tyson runs along a route lined with people, the limo takes a back road. As it goes over a hill, the occupants get their first view of the stadium complex for the tournament. Goodshow points out the {{g|Center}} where registration and announcements will take place. He also tells May and Max about the restaurants and shops nearby. | As Tyson runs along a route lined with people, the limo takes a back road.

Ash registers for the competition, and receives the official guide to the tournament, of which Max takes possession. Meanwhile, Brock is doing exactly what would be expected of him in a place filled with so many Jennies and Joys, at least until Max drags him away. Ash asks the Joy in charge of registration if Morrison has registered yet. The answer is no. On a screen above the registration desk, we see Tyson arrive at the stadium complex, not visibly tired at all from the long run. | Ash registers for the competition, and receives the official guide to the tournament, of which Max takes possession.

Ash calls Professor Oak, who offers to send any of the Pokémon Ash left with him at any time. Ash declines, saying that he came to Hoenn to try a fresh start. Though he'd love to let his older Pokémon fight, his current team is ready and willing. He wants to do this tournament with just his Hoenn team. The call ends with some words of encouragement from Oak. | Ash calls [[Professor Oak]], who offers to send any of the [[Pokémon]] Ash left with him at any time.

As he finishes the story, the thieves are found. The fake Jenny and Joy are speeding off on a police motorcycle (with sidecar), pursued by a couple of real Jennies. With a bit of fancy driving, one gets ahead and cuts them off, but they turn aside, going offroad and heading straight for a cliff. As the motorcycle goes off the cliff, the thieves jump off and into the basket of the Meowth balloon which has just risen into view. This is followed shortly by the recital of the motto and removal of disguises to reveal Team Rocket. | As he finishes the story, the thieves are found.

The balloon starts to leave, and Ash tries the usual Pikachu {{m|Thunderbolt}} tactic to stop them. As happens with some regularity, the attack is turned back on Pikachu by a device wielded by Meowth. The Jenny on the scene is about to use her Blastoise, but the Joy stops her, reminding her that they can't risk putting the fire out. Tyson sends out his Metagross to stop the balloon with its {{m|Confusion}}. Meowth turns up the flame to counter the pull.

An attack like that won't be enough to put out the flame of Moltres. | ||
Things go exactly as planned. Glalie's {{m|Ice Beam}} freezes Team Rocket, but the flame keeps burning. Metagross pulls the balloon down, and Ash somehow manages to jump into the basket. He takes the flame, but before he can get away with it, Team Rocket breaks out of the ice and tries to take it back. In the struggle, the flame falls out of the balloon. Jessie throws Meowth after the flame to catch it. He grabs it, then realizes he's still falling and panics. Tyson sends his Meowth to get the flame. It jumps up, grabs the flame from Team Rocket's Meowth in midair, kicking Team Rocket's Meowth in the process. | Things go exactly as planned.
