Pokemon Heart and Soul

Pokemon: Heart and Soul is a sequel series to Pokemon Redux. Distributed by Warner Bros.

SUMMARY:
Taking place three years after the events of Pokemon Redux, the teenage Dillon and his Pokemon travel to the Johto region to visit his 10-year-old cousin Patrick, who is ready to start on his Pokemon journey. He chooses a Cyndaquil. However, their fun is short-lived when Team Rocket returns from the dead, without their leader Giovanni, and is vowing vengeance on the world. Dillon and his Pokemon seemingly sacrificed themselves to defeat Team Rocket's death machine, and in spirit, tells Patrick and Cyndaquil that they aren't dead and will return to fight alongside him someday. So, Patrick travels across the Johto region to win all 8 badges in order to qualify for the Johto Pokemon League.
