Cynthia announces the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup, which the group decides to participate.
As Cynthia is still the Sinnoh Champion at the time of this episode, it can be assumed that Tobias, who won the Lily of the Valley Conference, failed to defeat her or the Sinnoh Elite Four, or has not yet challenged her.
Dawn is revealed to be staying at Cynthia's villa.
Cynthia agrees to have a battle with Iris, but calls the battle off before a winner is decided.
Ash meets up with Cynthia again, while Iris and Cilan meet her for the first time.
