==Synopsis==
Justin and Connor return home.
==Summary==
Justin and Connor finally return to Petalburg City, but their first instinct is to treat their Pokemon and register for the Hoenn League. When they get to the center, Nikolai is there. Nikolai is happy to see Justin but admonishes him for not going to see his mother and sister first. Nikolai also meets Connor, and he is welcoming to the young man.
Nikolai brings Justin home and sees off Connor who is their neighbor. The boys are surprised. Justin reunites with his parents and Slaking gives Justin and Eevee a suffocating hug. Justin introduces Torchic and Ralts who are both terrified by Carrie's intimidating Persian. Ralts accidentally puts Persian to sleep to which Justin acknowledges Ralts' nervous habit. Rachel particularly loves Torchic, but Justin keeps her away because Torchic will burn her with Ember.
Justin is eager to see the Petalburg Greenhouse so his Pokemon can come to Hoenn. Nikolai reminds Justin the greenhouse will still be under construction for a few months.
The family eats lunch when they are interrupted by the arrival of Connor and his family. The boys are embarrassed to learn their parents are already friends. Justin shows Connor around his room, and Justin shares some of the prizes he won in Johto.
When the home eats lunch, Michelle asks the boys where they intend to go next. Justin shares his plans for Rustboro City, and Connor intends to travel to Dewford Town, specifically Granite Cave where Treecko can battle Rock Pokemon and master its Grass moves. Before they leave, Connor requests a battle against Nikolai who has yet to have a challenger. Nikolai agrees to the battle, knowing it is a chance to teach Connor something positive.
After lunch, Nikolai faces Connor at the gym. Nikolai sets Linoone against Connor's Treecko. Norman allows Linoone to ensure Treecko's Pound and Quick Attack, but neither attacks do much damage and Linoone retaliates with Slash. Treecko gets up and unleashes the Mega Drain that he had practiced. Nikolai is impressed but a second Slash from Linoone wins him the battle. Connor is not disappointed. He is thrilled Treecko mastered Mega Drain.
After enjoying home for a few days, Connor boards a boat for Dewford Town, and he is sent off by Justin and their familieis. Once he leaves, Justin walks toward Route 103 for Rustboro City.
