After a long way from Route 1, Ash is now standing in front of the garden maze that leads to the castle. But before he steps in, Delia arrives with Charizard and jumps off so that she lands in front of Ash.
Delia: Ash! There you are. I see you made it.
Ash: Mom? What are you doing here...how are Noel and Anna if you're here?
Delia: Don't worry, they're fine. My clairvoyance that you're coming to this place, so I come as soon as possible.
Ash: You know this castle? Mom?
Delia: (Sighs) I know this castle because this place is called Vanhanen Castle. A place where your father gives me as a present.
Ash: (Surprised) Wait, what? Does that mean Dad is the next gym leader I'm going to face? And we're going to meet him right now?
Delia: That's why my clairvoyance told me to come here with you.
Ash can't believe that he's going to meet his father, and he is getting a little nervous. Before they go into the castle, Ash finds a Field Note and captures a Pokemon.
