Our story begins with a young trainer from Pallet Town, Ash Ketchum. Following his journey in the Sinnoh region, Ash has decided to train his Pokémon. Upon his training, a former companion from several travels ago was walking by. It was Tracey Sketchit, a Pokémon watcher as well as Professor Oak's assistant. While Ash went on his journeys, Tracey would be taking care of Ash's Pokémon. The two of them would have conversations on traveling together again. However, Tracey would always decline the offer due to not leaving Professor Oak alone with all the Pokémon.

The said professor has then emerged from the laboratory. He was telling the two boys he was about to go to a foreign region on a business trip. Professor Oak asked if Tracey would like to accompany him on the trip. Ash asked if he could join too. To which the professor agreed to the trainer's request. The three of them had then left to arrive onto their flight to the Unova region. On the flight there, a familiar trio of thieves were also on the same flight.

A few days earlier, Jessie, James and Meoth from Team Rocket were in their Boss's office waiting for their next assignment. They were informed on another evil organization in a different region. They were ordered to go into the region to force the unknown enemy out of hiding so that Team Rocket is the only organization to rule the world. There were surprised and yet not surprised to see their enemy was on the same flight. They thought it would be best if they did not fight while on the plane.

Once the plane landed, Ash ran right off the plane in hopes of learning about all the new Pokémon. Tracey was trying to tell Ash he should contain his excitement for when he meets the actual Pokémon in this region. While Oak just gave a smirking grin as he walked up to Professor Juniper. The two gave each other a professional nod and exchanged whatever information they were talking about earlier. Professor Juniper was talking about how a new trainer was going to start their journey with one of the starter Pokémon in the region. Ash was so excited to meet the new trainer but was told that the trainer would not be there until an hour later.
