The episode begins out by recapping the contest which took place last episode, Eevee's wonderful display of Shadow Ball and Pikachu's intuitive use of Thunderbolt and Iron Tail are all shown before they recap the battle between Ash's Sceptile and May's Blaziken and leaves it right after the explosion from the collision of the very powerful Overheat and SolarBeam attacks launched from each Pokémon.As a result the match has been declared as a draw.
After tying in the contest, May decides that she will head to Johto alone. After she and Max head back to Hoenn on a ship, Ash and Brock must depart as well. On the way back to Pallet, Ash runs into Gary and his Electivire, a new Pokémon. Ash challenges him to a battle, but he refuses and leaves. Ash finally arrives home and is greeted by the usual homecoming party.Then Ash saw Gary there waiting for him. Gary walks over to Ash and starts to talk to him, saying that he may have won the Battle Frontier but he still isn't as good as him. Gary then announces that he is going to go to Sinnoh to train his Pokémon and learn more about Pokémon. Tracey and Oak support this decision and back Gary, offering him some words of advice. Gary then looks over to Ash, turns his back on him and wanders off into the distance. Ash sits there and starts to talk to himself about Sinnoh and the newly discovered Pokémon. Delia watches on and senses the change in his heart. Ash stands up and announces his move to go to Sinnoh. As night time comes Delia is upstairs with a sparkle in her eye. She is sewing together fabric while talking of Ash.
Morning comes and outside Ash has lined up all the Pokémon he has traveled with in Hoenn: Sceptile, Donphan, Corphish, Swellow and Aipom. He says goodbye to Professor Oak, Tracey and to all his Pokémon, but before he goes Professor Oak hands over to him a newly updated Pokédex with all the Sinnoh information on it. Ash turns around and runs off down the lane, but we focus in on Aipom who looks very sad compared to the rest of Ash's Pokémon.
A boat sails down across the screen, on board Ash and Pikachu are looking out to the sea and towards Sinnoh. The wind is blowing strongly, knocking Ash's hat off and heading to a staircase but suddenly stops. Aipom is there! She grabbed Ash's hat and gives it back to Ash, who welcomes Aipom to the Sinnoh team. On the side of the boat Team Rocket are hanging on for their lives, determined to follow Ash and Pikachu anywhere so that they can steal it and give it to the boss. Then they get washed up by a wave as the boat sails off into the distance to Sinnoh.

Trivia
- The screenplay is by 園田英樹 Hideki Sonoda, who is the screenwriter for the Pokémon movies.
- The storyboard is by 日高政光 Masamitsu Hidaka, who was the former director for the Pokémon anime.
- The (assistant) director is 浅田裕二 Yūji Asada, who usually also handles the storyboard; as assistant director, he has handled the most of any person.
- The instrumental version of 小さきもの A Small Thing from Jirachi: Wish Maker is used as background music.
- 前向きロケット団! Face Forward Team Rocket! and an alternate cut of めざせポケモンマスター2001 Aim to be a Pokémon Master 2001 are also used as background music.
- As in the final episode of the previous series, the usual To be continued is omitted and replaced with Next time... A new beginning!.
- The preview for DP001 is narrated by the Pokémon Sunday narrator 木村匡也 Kyōya Kimura.
- This is the final episode of the Advanced Generation series.
- The English name of Sandgem Town was first revealed through the airing of this episode.
- This episode's title is a pun on the saying "home is where the heart is".
- When stowing away, Ash's Aipom fueled speculation of a new evolution for Aipom in Generation IV, and after this is confirmed with the Japanese release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, speculation that Aipom would itself evolve into its new form during the Diamond & Pearl series. This as well would eventually be confirmed true with the airing of Journey to the Unown!.
- Meowth breaks the fourth wall when James asks upon blasting off if Team Rocket will ever learn. Meowth responds that they'll find out next season.
Errors
Dub edits
- Much of the original background music was removed and replaced.
- In the Latin American Dub, when Ash is on the ship en-route to Sinnoh, he refers to it as an island (La isla Sinnoh) instead of calling it a region. This may be due to the fact that, like Hoenn, it is visibly not connected to any other regions visited.
In other languages
- French: Un nouveau départ
- Italian: La decisione di Vera
- Latin American Spanish: ¡El hogar es donde está la batalla!
- Iberian Spanish: ¡El hogar es el punto de partida!
- Korean: 여행의 끝, 그리고 여행의 시작!
