Chapter 1: Prologue

When Ash went for his 7th Battle Frontier symbol, it took him 3 tries to win it including being possessed by the King of Pokelantis the very first time that he challenged Brandon, the Battle Pyramid King to a battle. After that, Ash and Brock said good-bye to May and Max, who were going to Johto for May to compete in the Johto Grand Festival, and they continued on their way to their hometowns of Pewter City and Pallet Town. After leaving Kanto separately, they met up again trying to find Pikachu after Team Rocket took it away from Ash. Now, they are in Sinnoh, where they meet a girl named Dawn, who wants to be a top coordinator just like her mom, and they are now making their way onto Solaceon Town for Dawn's second ribbon and Veilstone City for Ash's third badge. On this journey, they are going to have a big change in their fate, especially Ash. They are going to be visited by an old friend that Ash and Brock wished that they didn't know at all.
