RTP Adventures - Ruby and Sapphire Part 16

We're almost to the next gym in the anime but first, we are going to find we don't quite make it that in the Manga.

First, we finish up Ruby's encounter with Team Magma as they try to recruit him. Then, our last chapter, is all about a Gym Leaders meeting where only 6 of...9!? show up to discuss whether or not Team Magma or Team Aqua are the good guys.

In the Anime, we bend some rules on tally counts, meet new Pokemon, see some evolutions, and watch a marriage almost fall apart because of some misunderstandings. All that, leads to Ash making an attempt to defeat Norman for the Balance Badge!

After the episode, stay tuned to catch back up with Murasaki and Beck as they head into Dark Tunnel.
