Ash and his friends arrive at Pallet Town, where he and Misty are surprised to see Brock waiting for them in Ash’s house. When they ask why he left Professor Ivy, Brock abruptly falls to the ground shivering, and Misty believes she dumped him. Delia arrives home, and explains that she and Mimey found him a week ago, lying on the ground in a grassland, and took him home. Since then, Brock has been helping around the house, with Brock fighting over the chores with Mimey. Later, whilst discussing over dinner, Tracey insists on seeing Professor Oak. Ash is reminded of the GS Ball and then shows his mother his Winner’s Trophy, which she suggests she could use as a dumbbell.
