May and Max arrive in their hometown of Petalburg City. [[Norman]] isn't home yet since he is out grocery shopping and would be back later, but [[Caroline]] is there to greet Max and May. They go to see the Pokémon in the greenhouse and May brings out all of her Pokémon to play. {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} smells some flowers, {{TP|May|Skitty}} falls asleep in a tree, and the other Pokémon run around and play. Ash and Brock take a ferry back to [[Kanto]] and then split up from there to return to their respective hometowns of {{ci|Pewter}} and Pallet Town. Ash spots a [[Poliwag]] in the lake and asks Max to come look at it but realizes that he is all by himself now. On his way through [[Viridian City]] Ash meets a mysterious man named [[Scott]] at the [[Viridian Gym]], who asks him if he is there to challenge the Gym Leader. Ash tells him that he has already won the {{Badge|Earth}} from there. Scott says to Ash that he may be a good enough Trainer to challenge the {{ka|Battle Frontier}}. An older woman screams as she falls off of her bike and Ash and Scott go to check on her. The woman introduces herself to be [[Agatha]] and is going back inside the Gym. She explains to Ash that she has been at the Gym for six months as the new Gym Leader. Agatha asks Scott how his search for a strong Trainer from the [[Seafoam Islands]] to challenge the Battle Frontier is going, and he says it hasn't been easy. Agatha asks Ash whether he is there to challenge the Gym and Ash explains that he has already won a Badge from the Gym and had reached the Top 8 in the [[Hoenn League]]. Agatha and Scott are very impressed, so Agatha asks Ash if he would like to have a Pokémon battle with her for fun. Agatha says that she easily defeated the last two Trainers who challenged her and was looking for a much bigger challenge. Ash is unsure, but Scott suggests that it would be a good idea.
Agatha brings out {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} while Ash uses [[Pikachu]] in the battle. Agatha comments on how Pikachu is very strong. Ash scans Gengar with his Pokédex. Pikachu starts out with
Meanwhile, Team Rocket had been observing the battle and comment on how strong Pikachu really is. They decide to try to capture it and lower their balloon behind the Gym. Once outside, Scott asks Ash if he is still interested in challenging the Battle Frontier and begins to explain how it works. He explains that there are seven Battle Frontier facilities that are run by [[Frontier Brains]], who are more powerful than Gym Leaders. There are seven Battle Frontier [[Symbol]]s that are given out, but he needs to earn six of them to find out the location of the secret seventh facility. Ash decides to challenge the Battle Frontier and Team Rocket decides that they will follow him along the way. Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with a mechanical grabber to steal it. Team Rocket recites their brand new motto for everyone. They try to get away but Agatha's [[Golbat]] uses
Ash returns to his home in Pallet Town and is greeted by his {{Delia|Mom}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Professor Oak}}. Misty shows Ash her [[Azurill]] that [[Tracey]] gave to her as an Egg. [[Mr. Mime]] also greets Ash and is holding Ash's lunch that he prepared. Ash hears a car horn and looks outside to see that Professor Birch and Max have come to visit him as well.
