After dealing with the usual press and reuniting with his friends, Ash and Co. decide to take a head count of how many of them were left. Currently, the remaining in the tournament were Ash, Cilan, Iris, Serena, Sawyer, Alain, and Paul. Everyone else had been booted from the competition. Ash looked at his four friends and two mates. He knew that he'd have to fight each of them sooner or later.

The group decides to head outside. Just as they are passing a water fountain Ash hears a familiar voice. "OUTTA MY WAY! OUTTA MY WAY!"

Ash panics and links with Greninja. He does a back flip and balances himself on top of the water fountain with one hand. (It's kinda like doing a handstand but with only one hand.) Then Bianca (The one from Unova) ran past them.

She then stopped and says, "hi" to Ash's friends.

Clemont looks up at Ash. "What exactly are you doing?" Asked the Lumiose gym leader.

"Everytime I run into Bianca she ends up knocking me into some body of water." Explains Ash. Just then, his hand silps and he falls into the fountain. Ash's friends stare at him.

"Well you can't blame Bianca for that." Sighed Sawyer, facepalming.

Ash gets up and out of the water and shakes himself dry then shakes hands with Bianca. "So how are you? Did you join the tournament as well?" Asks Ash.

"I did, but I was defeated in round four." Says Bianca with tears streaming down her face anime style.

Ash pats her on the back. "There, there." He says kindly. Bianca smiles at him. Then Bianca turns and sees Jessie, James, and Meowth standing behind them, causing Bianca to back up in surprise.

"What are they doing here!?" She asks shrilly.

"They quit Team Rocket and joined our side." Explains Trip. Bianca eyes the trio suspiciously for a while then sighs and turns away. Then everyone hears a strange sound coming from the sky.

They all look up to see a strange air craft in the sky, most of them don't recognise it but Ash, May, Max, Brock, Dawn, and Paul do.

"The Battle Pyramid!" Says Ash excitedly. They start chasing after it to meet up with whoever is inside when it lands. Ash links with Greninja for a speed boost and quickly gets ahead of the others. Bianca looks at Iris in confusion.

"I'll explain later." Says the dragon master.

Ash arrives just in time as the Battle Pyramid lands. The seven frontier brains of Kanto exit and greet Ash. "Noland, Greta, Tucker, Lucy, Spenser, Anabel, Brandon. It's good to see you again!" Says Ash happily.

"NO!" Booms Brandon. Then the Pyramid King smiles. "It's great to see YOU again." Says Brandon earning him a chuckle from Ash. At that time, the others have all caught up except for Clemont who's still staggering weakly about a hundred feet behind the others.

"So is anybody going to introduce us?" Asks Trip.

Ash rolls his eyes. "Well guys I'd like you to meet the Frontier Brains of the Kanto region." Says Ash. The Frontier Brains all introduce themselves and which battle spot they're in charge of.

"LUC- URGH!" Says Brock as he tries to greet the Pike Queen only to recive a Poison jab from his Toxicroak as he falls over groaning and is then dragged off by his pokemon. Lucy smiles at this with a slight blush which doesn't go unnoticed by Anabel.
