Synopsis

Ash and his friends have arrived in Sunyshore City where Volkner, the strongest Gym Leader of Sinnoh, resides. The group immediately heads to the Gym, but are greeted by an unbelievable sight: A huge pile of badges is placed in front of the Gym so anyone can get one without battling. Ash, who believes that winning them with effort is what makes badges significant, is furious. He persistently tries to enter the Gym, but the high-tech Gym has a prepared machine which manages to capture him. Just then, a spark of light flashes and an Infernape appears, saving Ash from his troubling situation. The Infernape's Trainer is Template:E4, the Elite Four member! What relationship do Volkner, the strongest Gym Leader of Sinnoh, and the Elite Four member Flint have?
