Ash and Pikachu continue their Pokémon journey and take their first steps into the Hoenn region when Pokémon Advanced, the sixth season of Pokémon the Series, arrives on Pokémon TV this Friday. Although our heroes must say farewell to some of their old friends as they depart Johto, they’re not on their own for long. Ash and Pikachu soon meet up with May, a Trainer just starting her own Pokémon adventure, along with May’s little brother, the plucky Max. And hey—Ash’s old pal Brock even returns for the journey through this new region! Together, the group faces all sorts of new challenges and discovers new Pokémon, and while Ash is training to take on Gym Leaders, May dives into the competitive world of Pokémon Contests.

Remember that when Pokémon Advanced arrives on Pokémon TV, Ash’s previous story arc—which includes the third through fifth seasons of Pokémon the Series—will be leaving the service. So, make sure you catch up on those Johto region adventures before heading into Hoenn!

When you tune in to watch Pokémon Advanced, remember to load up the newly updated Pokémon TV mobile app to enjoy these classic episodes on the go!
