Ash heads toward his next challenge: the far-off Hoenn region. While he must say goodbye to old friends, he makes new ones like May, a Trainer just starting out on her PokΓ©mon journey. As they venture through the region, a shadow looms over them, and itβs not just that of Mt. Chimneyβboth Team Magma and Team Aqua put their nebulous plans into action, with our heroes caught in the middle! When theyβre not foiling evil schemes, Ash and May chase their personal goals, with Ash battling for Gym badges and May for Contest Ribbons. Will Ash earn eight Gym badges to gain entry into the Hoenn League, and will May win enough Ribbons to take part in the Grand Festival?
