It's time to go back to Kanto!!!!! But on the way, trainers are battled on the S.S. Aqua and a mystery is solved, leading Ruby and Shea Locke to gaining a Metal Coat. But once in Kanto, the duo find even more mystery. It seems there is a problem with Kanto's power and while on the one hand it makes getting to Lt. Surge much easier, it also explains why the Mag Train hasn't been running. That will be something that the father and daughter team will need to look into as they begin their journey to collect the eight Kanto Badges once again.

Stay tuned after the show for more of Violet's adventure as she tries to work her way through Lt. Surge's gym.
