Returning to Pallet Town after a farewell to his companions, Ash encountered Scott, the leader of the Battle Frontier. Having recently been defeated by Agatha, a member of the Elite Four, Scott described the Frontier to Ash. Intrigued, Ash accepted the challenge, though first he needed to resolve a matter with Team Rocket and make his way home. Upon arriving in Pallet Town, Ash was reunited with Misty, an old friend from his travels.
