Ash Ketchum was highly anticipating competing in the Indigo League for the second time. He hadn't been able to give it his all the first time because of the producers. Now the show was over, and he wanted another shot at the title. The best part was, Misty was able to come because all the Gym Leaders are required to attend. Ash and Pikachu have been training hard on their way up to the Indigo Plateau, and even Brock thinks Ash has a good chance at winning the championship. At Brock's urging, the gang has arrived early and there's still a whole week until the League. Ash thinks Brock was overzealous in making them come so early. However, an accident occurs, and now Ash is trying to squeeze every minute of practice he can get out of this week; and trust me, HE needs it. *wink*
