Synopsis

The first opening scene shows Ash and Pikachu looking at the Battle Pyramid, while the other shows Solana and Jack Walker together. All of Ash's Pokémon including the Pokémon he released are together. All of his Pokémon use Quick Attack. May, Drew and Harley appear. Ash and the gang are running with Ash's Larvitar, a Tyranitar, and Ash's Pidgeot. They walk to the other side of a mountain and they run on the beach with Ash's Lapras in the wave. They fall from the sky, passing through Ash's Butterfree and a Pink Butterfree. Then, the seven Frontier Brains appear and form a line to the top, throwing their Frontier Symbols, followed by Ash's Pokémon battling. Pikachu runs and uses Volt Tackle, causing smoke. Aipom comes out and uses her tail to hit the screen. Scott, Professor Oak, Tracey, Delia Ketchum, Misty and Team Rocket are on cards. A pile of cards falls on Team Rocket.

Ash and the gang are together in the ending scene.

Trivia

• Lapras was not included in the opening two scenes with the rest of Ash's Pokémon.
• Donphan does not fly with the other Pokémon after the title was shown.
• Butterfree has the yellow scarf that Brock gave it.
• Haunter and Beedrill do not make appearances, most likley due to having new trainers.
• Primeape, Charizard, and Squirtle do not appear in the section showcasing released Pokémon. However, all of these Pokémon are in training, so they have not been technically released.
