Kenny tells Dawn how great she was in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] and was impressed that she made it all the way to the final round before losing to [[Zoey]].

Dawn scans Steelix with her [[Pokédex]] and comments on the type advantage Infernape has, but Ash comments on how Steelix is also Jasmine's strongest Pokémon. Ash then decides to send out his {{AP|Infernape}} so that it could watch Flint's Infernape battle and take notes.

Flint also tells Ash that he is training for his upcoming match with Cynthia, and how he was unsure if he was either ready or not. Later on, Ash sees Kenny training his {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}, encouraging Ash to train Buizel, but Buizel's SonicBoom is deflected of a tree and then Empoleon deflects it back at Buizel.

Blurb

When our heroes barely miss the boat that will take them to Lily Of The Valley Island and the Sinnoh League, they begin stumbling upon several old friends. First they encounter Kenny, then Gym Leader Jasmine of Olivine City, and even Flint of the Elite Four!

Everyone wants to catch up after a long time apart, and with so many top-tier Trainers in one place, a few Pokémon battles are bound to break out! First, Jasmine challenges Flint, seizing her opportunity to take on one of the Elite Four. Flint calls on his Infernape to defeat Jasmine’s Steelix, and afterward explains his battle strategy to Ash, who’s been watching intently with his own Infernape.

Then Kenny speaks up—he plans to challenge Ash to a battle, and if he wins, he wants Dawn to go on a journey with him! Dawn is taken aback by this surprising offer, and when the group takes a break for dinner, she turns to Jasmine for some girl talk about what she should do next. Meanwhile, Brock offers Kenny some advice on affairs of the heart.

The next morning, it’s battle time: Kenny’s Empoleon vs. Ash’s Buizel. As the two Water-type Pokémon clash, Ash keeps Flint’s defensive battle strategy in mind...but soon discovers that it might not be the best strategy for him, as Kenny and his Empoleon emerge victorious!

In the meantime, Dawn makes up her mind about Kenny’s offer. She decides to continue with Ash to the Sinnoh League in order to cheer him on, and leaves a letter for Kenny explaining everything.

Our heroes finally catch the ferry to Lily Of The Valley Island, bidding a fond farewell to Jasmine and Flint. Dawn calls her own goodbye to Kenny from across the water...and Kenny loudly assures her that they will meet again!

Plot

On their way to Lily of the Valley Island, site of the Sinnoh League, Ash, Dawn, and Brock are seen waiting for their ship to come. While waiting they run into Kenny, who has set his goal to the next Grand Festival, was having a special training session with Olivine City's Gym Leader, Jasmine. Kenny tells Dawn how great she was in the Sinnoh Grand Festival and was impressed that she made it all the way to the final round before losing to Zoey. After hearing that, Dawn starts to stress about not making her future goal yet. At that moment, Kenny tells Dawn that if he beats Ash in battle, she has to travel with him.

Suddenly, Team Rocket shows up and takes Kenny's Floatzel until Flint's Infernape saves Floatzel with a powerful Overheat. Jasmine then introduces herself and challenges Flint to a battle. Flint sends out his Infernape and Jasmine sends out Steelix. Dawn scans Steelix with her Pokédex and comments on the type advantage Infernape has, but Ash comments on how Steelix is also Jasmine's strongest Pokémon. Ash then decides to send out his Infernape so that it could watch Flint's Infernape battle and take notes. After a tough battle and because of a type advantage, Flint's Infernape defeats Jasmine's Steelix with a powerful Flare Blitz.
