Ash is a boy that trains Pokémon. He is ten years old and travels with his friends in the Pokémon world. In the story, Ash helps May and Torchie. He also helps the professor find Relicanth.

The story takes place in Pokémon country. It starts with a battle where Torchie got lost and got hurt. The friends ran to find a Pokémon Center. On the way they ran into Professor Aldon. He was searching for a room in Stone City that links our world to the ancient Pokémon  world. Team Magma also wanted to find the world. They wanted to control the ancient Pokémon world.

Team Magma captured the professor to get into the ancient Pokémon world for evil.  They had the four keys to open the door, but didn't know how to use them. When they put the keys in the door opened. The walls inside the room had drawings. Ash found the professor. The sun rose and the room began to move. The floor slid open to the ancient Pokémon  world.

The climax of the story is when Team Magma grabbed Professor Aldon in the Pokémon Center. Team Magma forced Professor Aldon to lead them to Rock City. Ash and May found the door. They all walked down the stairs. They came to a big cave and lake. The ancient Pokémon Relicanth jumped out of the lake.
