After traveling and competing throughout the Orange Islands and Johto, Ash continues his adventure in the land of Hoenn. Accompanying him are whiz kid Max, gentle May, woman-crazy Brock, Pikachu and the rest of the pokemon gang. Along the way they encounter a Spoink who has lost his pearl, treasure ships, new and improved pokemon, and of course plenty of new battles and tournaments to be won. Gotta catch ‘em all!
