Episode Plot

As Alexa and Ash travel, they find a lot of Kanto-native Pokémon. Ash soon finds Pallet Town, which Alexa recognizes as the place where Ash's dream of becoming a Pokémon Master was born. As they go through Pallet Town, Ash decides to go to the lab, where his Pokémon wait. Alexa reminds him his mother is worried and is waiting for him. She decides to go on her own to the lab, so Ash runs back to his house. Ash runs to his house and greets Mr. Mime, who takes him into the house. Delia, Ash's mom, comes to the living room, greeting his son. Ash's mom asks for the laundry, seeing his backpack has been worn off. Ash admits he gave his best, but couldn't win the Unova League. Ash goes to his room and places his Unova Badges on the shelf.

Delia admits she is preparing a special dinner for themselves, Alexa and Prof. Oak. Ash, after drinking a cup of tea, runs to Prof. Oak's lab to meet his Pokémon. Alexa documents Prof. Oak's speech, as he tells there are many Pokémon living close to his lab, and should disagreements arise, he has Bulbasaur to count on. Alexa studies Ash's Bulbasaur, while Ash is coming to the lab. Ash goes to greet Prof. Oak, but gets trampled upon his 30 Tauros. Ash stands up and greets Bulbasaur, who meets up with Pikachu. Ash wonders where Tracey is, but Prof. Oak recalls he was invited by Misty to go to Cerulean City's Gym. Alexa is astounded to hear Prof. Oak and Tracey take care of all the Pokémon. Prof. Oak admits while he is known as a researcher, even he has not encountered every single Pokémon known.

Prof. Oak meets Helioptile, admitting he hasn't seen it before, but Helioptile is too afraid and electrocutes Oak. Prof. Oak admits he also met and rode Gogoat. Ash asks did he meet Noivern. Alexa, per Prof. Oak's wish, sends out Noivern. Prof. Oak is excited and studies Noivern, but gets hit by its Boomburst. Ash points out Noivern is powerful, but Noivern bites his head. To calm Noivern down, Alexa feeds it with a Spelon berry and calls it back. Prof. Oak admits to understand a Pokémon, one needs to witness its power. Suddenly, Prof. Oak's Rotom appears, for Oak had caught it to write an article about its forms. Ash decides to stay here to meet up with the rest of his Pokémon. Bulbasaur uses Solar Beam, launching it into the sky, making a firework-like effect, to gather all Pokémon.

Ash sends out Charizard, Pignite, Snivy, Oshawott and Scraggy. Ash praises all his Pokémon for battling in the Unova League, and even if they didn't win the League, the entire journey made them stronger. Ash looks up to the sun and remembers all of his friends, knowing they, as him, are doing their very best to fulfill their dreams. Ash re-news his promise to become the Pokémon Master and hopes to realize it, with the help of his Pokémon. Seeing Helioptile, Ash knows there are still many Pokémon he hasn't met yet. Helioptile is startled and runs to Alexa. Seeing they finished their interview, Ash asks Alexa questions about the Kalos region, deciding to visit the region. Suddenly, they are hit by Will-O-Wisp, as Team Rocket appears. James praises Yamask for the attack and calls him back. Ash and Pikachu are angry when Team Rocket never quits. Team Rocket, however, don't feel like taking a break and are planning to steal Pikachu and the other Pokémon in the lab. Meowth presses buttons, activating the balloon's weapon system. However, with Pikachu and Charizard, along with Ash's Unova team together, they launch their attacks, blasting Team Rocket off, who wanted to do something nice for the boss. Ash thanks his Pokémon for protecting everyone. At Ash's house, Ash's mother is sewing some clothes.

At Team Rocket HQ, Giovanni praises Team Rocket for defeating Team Plasma. Jessie, James and Meowth are touched, but are asked what they did after that. Team Rocket laughs, for they don't have any evidence. Giovanni is disgusted, but Meowth persuades they caught a lot of Pokémon, as Jessie and James give Yamask, Frillish, Woobat and Amoonguss to Giovanni. After the meeting, Team Rocket is sad they left all their Pokémon to the boss. However, Meowth intends to find the place where the twerp will go to, allowing them to catch Pikachu there. Jessie and James praise his plan, but hear an old friend. At the house, Ash admits he will go to Kalos tomorrow. Ash admits his dream to become the Pokémon Master compels him to challenge the Kalos League. Oak encourages him, while Alexa tells him he'd have to start out by challenging her little sister's Gym. Ash's mom leaves, making Oak and Alexa nervous, thinking they said too much.

However, Delia comes back, with new clothes for Ash. Ash thanks his mother for sewing new clothes, since she knew that was coming. Delia wishes Ash luck on the journey. Team Rocket overheard that on the roof, planning on learning the location of Kalos region and beat the twerp to it. Team Rocket is glad they get another chance, supported by their old friend, Wobbuffet. Team Rocket leaves on their balloon, towards Kalos. Ash, in his bed, cannot sleep, wondering what Kalos is like. He thanks Pikachu for being by his side all the time. Ash vows to become stronger and stronger. Next day, at the airport, Delia anticipates a call from Ash once he comes to Kalos, while Prof. Oak wants to hear about new Ash's Pokémon. Delia admires she has sewn for Ash, while Alexa promises she will get him to Kalos safely. As Oak and Delia see the airplane flying off, Delia wishes her son luck in Kalos.

In the end, Delia returns home and places a picture of Ash and all his Pokémon at the lab.
