Pokemon the Series: Ruby & Sapphire Season 904 Episode 11 Home is Where the Start Is!

Ash and May have just finished a blistering battle in the finals of the Terracotta Pokemon Contest, and when time runs out and the smoke clears, they both have an equal number of points. The judges declare them both winners! At dinner, May announces that she wants to compete in the Pokemon Contest circuit in the Johto region, and that she wants to go alone rather than relying on her little brother. Max sadly decides to go home, but Ash promises him a battle as soon as he's old enough to be a Trainer! The last leg of Ash's journey back to Pallet Town is interrupted by Team Rocket, who are trying to steal a powerful Electric-type Pokemon...not Pikachu this time, but Electivire, a Pokemon from the Sinnoh region whose Trainer is none other than Gary Oak! After seeing how strong Electivire is, Ash decides he has to go to Sinnoh, too--and so the next adventure begins!
