Ep 5. A Race for Home!

Ash and his friends, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are traveling through the Kalos region when they stumble upon a race that is taking place. The competition is called the Rhyhorn race, and it is a popular event in the nearby town. Ash and his friends decide to watch the race, and they soon discover that there is a little Rhyhorn that is participating in the competition. The Rhyhorn is being ridden by a young boy named Tony, who is determined to win the race.

As the race begins, it quickly becomes clear that Tony and his Rhyhorn are at a disadvantage. The other competitors are riding larger and more experienced Rhyhorns, and they are quickly moving ahead of Tony and his Rhyhorn. Despite this, Tony does not give up. He pushes his Rhyhorn to its limits, and he manages to catch up to the other racers. However, disaster strikes when Tony's Rhyhorn suddenly falls ill and collapses on the track.

Ash and his friends rush to Tony's side, and they offer their help. They quickly realize that the Rhyhorn has caught a cold, and it needs medical attention. Knowing that time is of the essence, Ash and his friends set out to find help. Along the way, they stumble upon a Pokémon Center in a nearby town, and they are pleased to discover that it is run by Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy examines the sick Rhyhorn and tells the group that it needs to be taken to a special Pokémon Center that is located in the mountains. This center is specifically designed to treat Pokémon that live in cold environments, and it is the best place for the Rhyhorn to recover. However, the center is far away, and the group does not have much time.

Ash and his friends decide to help Tony get his Rhyhorn to the center, and they quickly set out on their journey. However, the path is treacherous, and they face many obstacles along the way. They must brave icy conditions, steep mountain paths, and even an attack from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite these challenges, Ash and his friends press on, determined to help Tony and his Rhyhorn.

As they make their way up the mountain, they are joined by the other racers who are impressed by their determination and courage. They all band together to help Tony and his Rhyhorn, and together they make it to the special Pokémon Center. The Rhyhorn is quickly taken in for treatment, and the group is relieved to know that it is in good hands.

While they wait for the Rhyhorn to recover, Ash and his friends are shown around the center by the staff. They learn about the different Pokémon that live in cold environments and the special care they need to stay healthy. They even get to meet some of these Pokémon, including a group of Eevee that are being raised at the center.

After several days, the Rhyhorn is finally strong enough to be released from the center. Tony is overjoyed to see his Rhyhorn again, and he thanks Ash and his friends for all of their help. They all share a laugh, and Tony invites them to come back to the town and participate in next year's Rhyhorn race.

The episode ends with Ash and his friends saying goodbye to Tony and his Rhyhorn as they continue on their journey through the Kalos region. They know that they will face many more challenges along the way, but they are confident that they can overcome them as long as they work together.
