[At Professor Rowan's laboratory, Ash and Pikachu are admiring Ash's package from his mother, Delia]
Wow. [The camera cuts to him inside the lab and checking out his new clothes] Check out the new clothes.
Pika.
She even put a new backpack in there, too.
[The camera cuts to Ash's house in Pallet Town]
[from inside the house] I'm thrilled! Such a handsome young man.
[We can see that Delia is communicating with Ash, now in his red and black cap is newer, a darker bluish-gray vest with a snazzy looking point collar and a distinct golden yellow horizontal stripe across the chest, via flatscreen phone]
That's really nice of you, Mom.
I wanted to give them to you while you were here, but you flew out of the house in such a rush.
Sorry about that, Mom. But everything's going just great here in the Sinnoh region, and I can't tell you how psyched I am.
I can see that! You did call Professor Oak and tell him Pikachu's safe, right?
Aah!
[Soon, Professor Oak is communicating with Ash from his lab]
I appreciate you letting me know the good news, young man.
And this is Dawn. She saved Pikachu. [to Dawn] And this is Professor Oak.
It's a real honour to meet you, sir.
Well, it's a pleasure to to meet you, a brand new trainer.
Right. I hope you don't mind... You love Pokémon poetry, don't you?
Uh!
Huh?
Yes, I do.
Awesome! Does that mean you know all the Pokémon poets?
You don't get it. He's a real professor, just like Professor Rowan.
But how come I always see him on TV reading poems?
How come...? Well...
[walks in] Say, perhaps the good professor and I should have a little discussion
Well, well, professor! Say, Ash, may I speak with him for a moment?
Sure. [He walks away with Dawn and Brock as Professor Rowan starts conferring with Professor Oak]
Perhaps you could spend a little less time reading Pokémon poetry on TV and more time doing your Pokémon research, eh, Samuel?
Right, I'll do that.
Those two must go way back.
Guess so.
So, what are you two doing here, anyway?
Well, I came here so I could compete in the Sinnoh League and win.
[Brock takes out a guidebook from inside his orange vest]
Okay, it looks like the closest gym to Sandgem Town is in Oreburgh City. Jubilife City's right on the way.
That's awesome! Can I go too?
Huh?
I want to be the number one contest coordinator, and the first contest I want to compete in is in Jubilife City.
That's great! Come along. When it comes to travelling, the more the merrier, I say.
Pikachu.
Brock, what do you think?
Of course. It'd be a lot of fun.
[Aipom, Piplup and Starly join Ash, Dawn and Brock]
It looks like everybody agrees.
Piplup?
And I'll get to spend some more time with Pikachu.
Pika, Pika!
