==Synopsis==
Justin and Rachel return to Petalburg City, and Justin is gifted a nice surprise.
==Summary==
Justin and Rachel cross the sign that reads "Entering Petalburg City". Instead of rushing home, Justin first takes his and Rachel's Pokemon to the Pokemon Center, always remembering their Pokemon are their first priority.
Afterward, Justin brings Rachel to his home neighboring the Petalburg Gym. When Justin knocks, neither his mother or father answer the door but Mr. Mime. Mr. Mime hugs Justin, who is initially too surprised to react. Justin quickly hugs the Mime Pokemon, and Justin introduces Rachel to him.
They go inside to see Carrie with Marill watering plants indoor. Mother and son reunite, and Marill hops into Justin's arms. Justin introduces Rachel to his mother, who embarrasses him for bringing a girl home. In truth, Carrie knows who Rachel is as she saw her win the Fallarbor and Verdanturf Contests. Rachel knows a little about Carrie as a Top Coordinator especially since Justin has been mentoring her. Carrie is thrilled by the news and insists Justin try again at contests, but the boy refuses.
Justin asks for his father, and Carrie calls him. Duane is in the middle of a gym battle when his very special phone goes off, reserved only for his wife and son. Duane pauses the battle and learns from his wife that Justin has returned. Duane hangs up. The battle continues, and the man is twice invigorated as is his Slaking.
Meanwhile, Justin asks for his other Pokemon. Carrie and Mr. Mime make tea, and Yazmyne comes downstairs to meet Rachel. Eevee and Persian also reunite. Carrie confirms that Justin's Pokemon have all been transferred from Johto. Not long after, Duane rushes home after having won his gym battle. He hugs Justin and meets Rachel for the first time as well.
Duane takes Justin and Rachel to the greenhouse where Justin's other Pokemon reside. All of them rush up to Justin including Gyarados who jumps out of the large pool but excluding Scizor who pretends to be too cool to be affectionate with his trainer. Justin and Rachel also meet Josh, the new greenhouse caretaker and gym referee.
Justin calls out his new Pokemon, and introduces them to his old ones. Justin encourages Rachel to show off her Pokemon as well.
Combusken is immediately impressed by Scizor's power and challenges him, only for Scizor to look away and fly into the trees. Plusle and Minun are frightened by Gyarados and play with Kangaskhan's baby. Skitty steals Marowak's bone to play with as a toy, soon joined by Furret. Mudkip plays with Totodile and Marill as they play with their Water Guns. Kirlia bonds with Mr. Mime. Jigglypuff floats into the trees and sings while Skiploom and Murkrow enjoy the melody.
Justin and Rachel leave their Pokemon to play in the greenhouse while they return to Justin's home. They all have dinner. Justin and Rachel intend to stay for a few days, and Justin makes clear he wants to challenge his father for the Balance Badge. Both father and son share determined stares.
