Summary Continuing toward Hearthome City, our Heroes suddenly come across a rare Shieldon who is being pursued by none other than Pokémon Hunter J and her evil henchmen, but when things look their worst, who arrives on the scene to stop them in their tracks but Ash's old friend and rival Gary Oak! It turns out that Gary is conducting research in order to save all the wild Shieldon in the area, but soon it becomes apparent that their dealings with Hunter J are just beginning. As J is determined to capture Shieldon for a client, Ash and Gary mount a formidable defense against J and her goons, but that old Ash and Gary rivalry comes through and initially causes some friction between the 2. However, it is Ash's bravery that winds up saving the day, and Gary is only too happy to give credit for saving the Shieldon to his old friend. And saying goodbye to Gary, Officer Jenny and a recently arrived Professor Rowan, our Heroes now set their sights back on Hearthome City and their next competitions.
