Kiawe and Rotom see a {{p|Rapidash}} at the edge of a cliff. Rapidash dashes forward and Kiawe sends out his Charizard to follow and race with it. They increase their speed and Kiawe realizes that Rapidash wants him to ride on it; Kiawe jumps from his Charizard and climbs onto Rapidash. Mallow and her {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}} meet two {{p|Gloom}} and a {{p|Vileplume}}. Vileplume greets her and uses {{m|Poison Powder}}; Brock and Misty warn her and Mallow runs off with her Steenee.

At the back of the laboratory, Brock and Misty send out a Kantonian and an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}} respectively. The Kantonian {{p|Exeggutor}} becomes surprised with its Alolan counterpart. The class comments on the major differences between the two regional Exeggutor. Both variants of {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Muk}} are sent out, with the Kantonian [[Ash's Muk|Muk]] happy to see Ash. Both variants of {{p|Dugtrio}} are sent out as well. Kiawe is startled to see the Kantonian Dugtrio not having hair and gives it his wig. Lastly, Brock sends out a Kantonian {{p|Marowak}}, and Kiawe sends out his [[Kiawe's Marowak|Alolan Marowak]]. Upon seeing their counterparts, the two Marowak begin to fight each other. Kiawe and Brock try to restrain the two Marowak, to no avail. Sophocles and Lillie comment on their different typing; Alolan Marowak being {{t|Fire}} and {{type|Ghost}} while Kantonian Marowak being {{type|Ground}}. Pikachu tries to calm the two Marowak down, but is attacked instead, sending him flying in the air. Togedemaru becomes furious and attacks the Marowak, but is chased by them. Pikachu lands on the ground and uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, shocking everyone except the Kantonian Marowak, who is unaffected due to being a Ground-type. Lana and Kiawe realize that Popplio and Marowak have gone missing and the group decides to look for them. On search, Ash, Misty and Brock come across a {{p|Caterpie}}, causing Misty to run away in fear. Ash asks her if she has still not overcome her fear of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, to which Misty agrees. Afterwards, they reminisce about the adventures they used to have together. Just then, they hear a sound, and head to find the source. They see the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Oddish}}'s evolutionary lines arguing, with [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] trying to pacify. Ash calls out to Bulbasaur, who is delighted to see Ash.

Lillie, Lana, and Mallow climb up a slope, looking for Popplio, when they hear Misty calling out to them. Misty suggests looking for Popplio near the lake ahead of them. At the lake, a {{p|Gyarados}} emerges from the water and frightens the girls, except Lana who stands firm. Lana changes to her swimsuit and jumps into the lake; Misty follows suit. At the bottom of the lake, they see Popplio hanging out with the {{type|Water}} Pokémon. The boys are looking for Kiawe's Marowak in a rocky area, where they run into an {{p|Onix}}. Worried that the Onix might attack, and Kiawe sends out his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. Brock tells them to calm down, to not anger the Onix. However, Kiawe's Marowak appears and throws its bone at the Onix, angering it, and causing the group to flee from the Rock Snake Pokémon.

However, Kiawe's Marowak appears and throws its bone at the Onix, angering it, and the group flees from the Rock Snake Pokémon.


The two groups meet up, and a net appears and captures their Pokémon, which is revealed to be Team Rocket's doing. Misty and Brock get angry at Team Rocket for still being up their usual tactics. Ash sends out {{AP|Lycanroc}} and commands it to use {{m|Rock Throw}}. Team Rocket, in their mecha, deflects the attack back at the group. Brock and Misty send out their {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} respectively. Together, they destroy the mecha, but Team Rocket refuses to give up, and Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}; Bulbasaur shudders from the Disguise Pokémon. Suddenly, a plane flies past and {{an|Bewear}} jumps down. It takes off with Team Rocket. The wreckage shakes and {{an|Jigglypuff}} appears out of it. Mallow, Lillie, and Lana are happy to see a {{p|Jigglypuff}} for the first time. Ash, Misty, and Brock, however, recognize the Jigglypuff and fear that it might {{m|sing}}. True that, and everyone falls asleep to Jigglypuff's song. Jigglypuff becomes angry at its audience falling asleep again and uses its microphone-marker to draw on their faces. They wake up in the evening and laughs at the drawings on each other's faces. {{Delia}} appears and tells them that the welcome party is about to start.

Back at the laboratory, the group eats the food prepared by [[Mimey]]. Delia welcomes them to Kanto and asks Kiawe if he would like to take a look at Ash's bedroom. Rotom Dex becomes disappointed that it is missing a photo of one more Pokémon; a {{p|Mew}} overhears it and flies away. Professor Kukui informs the class that they will be heading to the Cerulean Gym for a Gym battle the following day. The next day, they travel past the Cerulean Gym. Ash exclaims that he cannot wait for a battle.

Blurb

Ash’s Pokémon School class is taking a field trip to the Kanto region! Principal Oak is excited to visit his famous cousin in Pallet Town, and Professor Kukui says some special guests will be joining them. When those guests turn out to be Brock and Misty, Ash is delighted!

Everyone marvels at the many Pokémon living at Professor Oak’s lab, and Brock offers a demonstration of the difference between Kanto Pokémon and their Alolan counterparts. Of course, Team Rocket is up to their old tricks, but the “original Twerp trio” quickly sends them blasting off again. Tomorrow, Misty has big plans for everyone: a battle at her own Cerulean Gym!

Plot

Samson Oak informs the class that they will be having a special extracurricular activity to celebrate the Pokémon School's twentieth anniversary. When Mallow asks where they will be going, Professor Kukui replies that they will be heading to the Kanto region and that there will be special guests meeting them there, exciting the class, particularly Ash.

Brock returning

As they reach Kanto via plane, the students express their desires to meet certain Kantonian Pokémon while Lillie notices Snowy not feeling well. A young man, later introduced to her as Brock, asks Lillie if he can take a look at Snowy, stating that he is a Pokémon Doctor-in-training. Team Rocket also arrives in Kanto and is heading to the headquarters. Jessie becomes angry and fusses about Matori telling them to come there. James worries if they will get a lecture from her and Giovanni. Meowth reassures himself that giving Matori a malasada will not make her angry.

Misty returning

Brock informs Lillie that Snowy is only experiencing motion sickness and that it will be fine after a while. Just then, Ash notices Brock and calls out to him. Ash runs toward Brock, but Brock runs past him and chases the female cabin attendant who walked past Ash. As Brock flirts with her, Misty arrives to pull him away from the cabin attendant by the ear. Ash introduces his classmates to Misty and Brock, and they present themselves as the Gym Leaders of the Cerulean Gym and Pewter Gym, respectively. Ash's classmates also introduce themselves to Misty and Brock. When Ash asks what they are doing in the airport, Misty reveals Professor Oak asked them to meet the class. Professor Kukui and Samson Oak interrupt the conversation and tell them to head to the laboratory. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, having eavesdropped on the entire conversation, decides to head to the laboratory to steal all of the Pokémon residing there and give them to Giovanni so that they do not get lectured.

Samuel Oak and Samson Oak are excited to meet each other; the former congratulates the latter on the school's twentieth anniversary. Rotom is surprised to see their identical appearances. Samson Oak introduces the class to his cousin. Professor Oak begins to recite a senryū and the class is impressed. Rotom recites its own senryū, and the Oaks praise its creation. Misty and Brock are made in charge of showing the class around the laboratory's Oak Corral. The class becomes excited at the vastness of the corral and expresses hopes of meeting certain kinds of new Pokémon. Lillie gets excited at seeing Spearow, but Mallow reminds her that Spearow are fairly common in Alola as well. Ash tells his classmates that his Pokémon are in the Oak Corral as well; he notices his herd of Tauros and starts running towards them. Tauros, excited to see Ash, run towards him as well, and knock Ash into the sky.

Mallow being by the Grass-type Pokémon of Kanto

Kiawe and Rotom see a Rapidash at the edge of a cliff. Rapidash dashes forward and Kiawe sends out his Charizard to follow and race with it. They increase their speed and Kiawe realizes that Rapidash wants him to ride on it; Kiawe jumps from his Charizard and climbs onto Rapidash. Mallow and her Steenee meet two Gloom and a Vileplume. Vileplume greets her and uses Poison Powder; Brock and Misty warn her and Mallow runs off with her Steenee. Meanwhile, Ash, Lillie, Lana, and Sophocles see a Raichu. Togedemaru becomes excited at seeing the Mouse Pokémon and runs around in circles. She produces electricity and shocks Raichu unconscious, to which Sophocles apologizes. Later, the group notices a Ninetales in a forested area and Snowy walks toward it. The Ninetales licks Snowy's head in greeting. They also see a Dewgong jumping out of a lake. Popplio blows a bubble at the Dewgong, who bounces it on its forehead. Concurrently, Rotom is traveling around the corral, taking photographs of different Kanto Pokémon.

At the back of the laboratory, Brock and Misty send out a Kantonian and an Alolan Exeggutor, respectively. The Kantonian Exeggutor becomes surprised with its Alolan counterpart. The class comments on the major differences between the two regional Exeggutor. Both variants of Geodude and Muk are sent out, with the Kantonian Muk happy to see Ash. Both variants of Dugtrio are sent out as well. Kiawe is startled to see the Kantonian Dugtrio not having hair and gives it his wig. Lastly, Brock sends out a Kantonian Marowak, and Kiawe sends out his Alolan Marowak. Upon seeing their counterparts, the two Marowak begin to fight each other. Kiawe and Brock try to restrain the two Marowak, to no avail. Sophocles and Lillie comment on their different typing; Alolan Marowak being a Fire and Ghost type, while Kantonian Marowak is a Ground type. Pikachu tries to calm the two Marowak down, but is attacked instead, sending him flying in the air. Togedemaru becomes furious and attacks the Marowak, but is chased by them. Pikachu lands on the ground and uses Thunderbolt, shocking everyone except the Kantonian Marowak, who is unaffected due to its type. Lana and Kiawe realize that Popplio and Marowak have gone missing and the group decides to look for them. On search, Ash, Misty, and Brock come across a Caterpie, causing Misty to run away in fear, still having not overcome her fear of Bug-type Pokémon. Afterwards, they reminisce about the adventures they used to have together. Just then, they hear a sound and head to find the source. They see the Bellsprout and Oddish's evolutionary lines arguing, with Ash's Bulbasaur trying to pacify. Ash calls out to Bulbasaur, who is delighted to see Ash and jumps into his arms.

Lillie, Lana, and Mallow climb up a slope, looking for Popplio, when they hear Misty calling out to them. Misty suggests looking for Popplio near the lake ahead of them. At the lake, a Gyarados emerges from the water and frightens the girls, except Lana who stands firm. Lana changes to her swimsuit and jumps into the lake; Misty follows suit. At the bottom of the lake, they see Popplio hanging out with the Water-type Pokémon. The boys are looking for Kiawe's Marowak in a rocky area, where they run into an Onix. Worried that the Onix might attack, Kiawe sends out his Turtonator. Brock tells them to calm down, as to not anger the Onix. However, Kiawe's Marowak appears and throws its bone at the Onix, angering it, and the group flees from the Rock Snake Pokémon.

The two groups meet up, and a net appears and captures their Pokémon, which is revealed to be Team Rocket's doing. Misty and Brock get angry at Team Rocket for still being up to their usual schemes. Ash sends out Lycanroc and commands it to use Rock Throw. Team Rocket, in their mecha, deflects the attack back at the group. Brock and Misty send out their Crobat and Staryu, respectively. Together, they destroy the mecha, but Team Rocket refuses to give up, and Jessie sends out her Mimikyu; Bulbasaur shudders from the Disguise Pokémon. Suddenly, a plane flies past and Bewear jumps down. It takes off with Team Rocket. The wreckage shakes and Jigglypuff appears out of it. Mallow, Lillie, and Lana are happy to see a Jigglypuff for the first time. Ash, Misty, and Brock, however, recognize the Jigglypuff and fear that it might sing. It does so, and everyone falls asleep to Jigglypuff's song. Jigglypuff becomes angry at its audience falling asleep again and uses its microphone-marker to draw on their faces. They wake up in the evening and laugh at the drawings on each other's faces. Just then, Delia appears and tells them that the welcome party is about to start.

Back at the laboratory, the group eats the food prepared by Mimey. Delia welcomes them to Kanto and asks Kiawe if he would like to take a look at Ash's bedroom. Rotom becomes disappointed that it is missing a photo of one more Kanto Pokémon; a Mew overhears it and flies away. Professor Kukui informs the class that they will be heading to the Cerulean Gym for a Gym battle the following day. The next day, they travel past the Cerulean Gym. Ash exclaims that he cannot wait for a battle.
