Plot[]
Ash Ketchum and friends are reunited with their one-time adversary, Aya (Koga's sister), who is continuing devotedly on the path to the Pokémon Jujitsu Academy. Ash and Brock enjoy the special classes, but Misty, because of her phobia of Bug-type Pokémon, doesn't. The fun stops when Team Rocket decides to raid the school and steal all the Pokémon.
