The kids are eating lunch together. Cherry says she wants to compete in the [[Johto League]]. She notices that Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} know each other very well, and says that it's thought if a Trainer and their Psychic Pokémon are very close they can communicate psychically. She challenges Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}} and he accepts.
