Pokemon the Series Season 19 Episode 13 A Meeting of Two Journeys!

Ash and his friends are heading towards Snowbelle City to prepare for the upcoming Gym battle. On their way, they come across several trainers who are also on their journey to become stronger. One of the trainers, Sawyer, catches Ash's eye, as he seems to be a very talented battler. The two of them decide to battle each other to test their skills.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is trying to come up with a plan to steal Pikachu, as usual. They stumble upon a group of wild Pokemon who are being attacked by a mysterious, dark force. Team Rocket decides to intervene and help the Pokemon. They soon realize that the dark force is coming from a mysterious portal, which is set to open soon.

Ash and Sawyer's battle is intense, with both trainers displaying their impressive battling skills. Despite a tough fight, Ash comes out as the winner. The two trainers respect each other and decide to train together. They decide to head towards the nearby mountains to train for a while.

As they continue their journey, they come across the same wild Pokemon that Team Rocket had previously helped. They learn about the mysterious portal and decide to investigate it. As they reach the portal, they see that it is being guarded by a powerful Pokemon. Ash and Sawyer decide to battle it together.

The battle is tough, but the two trainers manage to hold their own against the powerful Pokemon. They soon learn that the Pokemon was being controlled by an evil organization who wanted to use the portal for their own nefarious purposes. The trainers and the wild Pokemon team up to defeat the organization and close the portal.

With the portal closed, the trainers continue on their journey, stronger than ever. Ash and Sawyer part ways, wishing each other luck on their respective journeys. Ash and his friends reach Snowbelle City, and Ash prepares to take on the Gym Leader.
