After some battles, Ash successfully caught a Flygon and an Absol. Since he already had six Pokémon with him, Ash had to make some substitutions once again. After swapping them out, he could only hope to get his hands on a Pokémon Box as soon as possible so he wouldn't have to worry about which five to carry with him anymore. Following the battle and the capture, the four of them said their goodbyes to Butler and Diane, and then, with Jirachi in tow, continued their journey toward Mauville City.
