In this chapter, Clemont and Bonnie contact Ash to tell him they're back home and they're waiting for him to come back.

Two days after Pikachu and Buneary share the exciting news with their trainers the two Pokémon begin spending so much time with each other and it becomes crystal clear to Ash and Dawn just how much Pikachu means to Buneary, and how much Buneary means to Pikachu.

Ash states, "Those two are meant to be together."

Dawn seconds, "Yeah and they sure do love each other a lot; it's so simple to see that."

Ash remarks, "I'm a little worried about how the two of them will feel once my friends contact me and say they're ready for me to join them again."

Dawn comments, "No need to worry, Ash. When the time comes for you to head back to the Kalos Region, I'm sure we'll figure something out."

Ash says, "You're right. I should just be happy for my buddy instead of worrying about what's going to happen in the future."

Dawn replies, "Maybe Clemont and Bonnie decided to move to Undella Town to be closer to their grandfather. I mean, they've been gone for over a month."

Ash says, "I don't think they've moved, I just think they've been having so much fun, they didn't want to go back home to soon and leave their grandpa."

Just then Johana opens the door and calls out, "Ash, there's someone on the phone for you!"

Dawn says, "Maybe that's them now."

Ash begins to walk towards the house and says, "I'll come back out and let you know," when he gets inside the house, Ash picks up the phone and sees a video of Clemont, Bonnie, and Dedenne. He asks, "Hey guys, how was the trip?"

Clemont says, "Great, but it's also great to finally be back home again."

Ash says, "I was wondering when you guys were going to arrive home."

Bonnie says excitedly, "I caught some really cute Pokémon while we stayed there!"

Ash says, "Awesome. Once I get back there, please show them to me."

Bonnie replies, "Or I could just do that right now," she pulls three Pokeballs out of her pocket and calls out her three new Pokémon, an Emolga, an Oshawott, and a Patrat. She informs Ash, "I got this Emolga after it helped me pick apples on a farm that my grandpa and I used to bake an apple pie, I caught this Oshawott after I battled with it using Emolga, and then the Patrat was just an accidental catch because it was a little clumsy and tripped over a picnic blanket and went inside the Pokeball."

Ash says, "Great job on all three, nonetheless."

Clemont says, "Bonnie and I are going to unpack our clothes and other items. We'll see you when you get back."

Bonnie exclaims cheerfully, "Bye, bye, Ash! See you soon!"

Ash waves to his friends and says, "See you guys, soon."

Clemont and Ash both hang up and then Ash joins Dawn back outside.

Dawn asks, "Was that them?"

Ash replies, "Yeah they're back home and they're waiting for me to come back."

Dawn says, "It was great seeing you again, Ash. I hope you have fun once you go back."

Ash says, "I will have lots of fun."

He then looked at Buneary and Pikachu and wondered what he was going to do about them.

Clemont and Bonnie are back home and they're waiting for Ash to rejoin them. What is Ash going to do about Pikachu?
