Finally at the Battle Factory, Ash meets with the Frontier Brain, Noland. Ash is eager to begin his Battle Frontier challenge and challenges him. However Team Rocket have their eyes set on Noland's Articuno...will they steal it and will Ash get to battle?

Enroute to the Battle Arena, Ash & Co. stumble across a mountain where they find some Onix being attacked by Geodudes & Golems, and to make things worse the Onix does not seem to like Ash & Co. Will they be able to sort this and get through the mountain?
