Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

Ash and his friends reach the Kanto Safari zone, inhabited by a group of wild Kangashkan. A wild young boy named Tomo lives with them after he lost contact with his parents; he aids Ash, Misty, Brock and the local Officer Jenny to defend the Kangashkans from the attacks of Team Rocket. Later, Tommy's real parents (whom he doesn't remember, even when they've been searching for him for years) show up, and after a small crisis they're happily reunited.
