Ash earns his final two Badges and secures himself a spot in the Hoenn League Championships, while May comes dangerously close to not getting her final Ribbon—setting the stage for epic showdowns with both of her rivals in the Grand Festival.

Upon returning to Kanto and reuniting with old friends, Ash is recruited for a new challenge—the Battle Frontier!
