| Ash is excited to finally reach the Canalave Gym once more, for his next Gym Battle. But, Byron's Apprentice tells Ash and the others he's having conflicts right now with his son. Who turns out to be Roark of the Oreburgh Gym! Ash and the others also meet Byron of the Canalave Gym as well. Though, both Roark and Byron are having a fight over which one loves Fossils more. Brock suggests that they have a battle to determine which Fossil Pokémon they have is stronger. Roark with Rampardos and Byron with Bastiodon. Which means Ash will have to keep waiting for his Gym Battle, and also handle this conflict. Later on Team Rocket steals all of Byron's fossils and everybody runs after them. Later Team Rocket gets defeated and Ash starts to dread and can't wait for his battle. | |||||
