Reunited for the Final Battle
It has been one year after Ash was reunited with two of his friends from Sinnoh: Paul and Ranee. Ash and Misty had their first child, a happy, healthy girl named Amanda Delia Ketchum.
Barry fell in love with Summer, the girl he met at the boat docks. He returned home and got the news that Paul and Ranee got transferred after their wedding. He decided to go and visit them bringing Summer, Dawn, Piplup, and Kenny with him. As for Brock, Holly, May, Drew, Max, and Molly, they too headed towards Cerulean for no reason at all-like Barry and the others.
Sadly though, things haven't been going well there seeing that Ash's mother and Paul's brother died recently. He and Paul became very close becoming blood brothers with Gary as he took over his grandfather's job after he passed away. Now, things are back to normal as all of Ash's friends start merging on Cerulean City….
