When {{Ash}} and [[Professor Kukui]] come home to find {{TP|Ash|Rockruff}} wounded, Kukui checks his compound's security tapes and finds that it's been leaving the house at night. The next evening, Ash and Kukui follow Rockruff, and find that it is taking part in a fight club overseen by two [[Lycanroc]]. Rockruff in particular has developed a rivalry with a [[Magmar]], but doesn't seem able to beat it.
 
Soon after, Ash takes to training Rockruff to be able to dodge Magmar's {{m|Flamethrower}}. They work on Rockruff's agility and fitness, and use {{an|Kiawe}}'s {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} for practice. Ash ultimately gets Rockruff to perfect {{m|Rock Throw}}.
 
Another night, Rockruff eagerly challenges Magmar once more. It gets the upper hand, and finally gets Rock Throw to connect, defeating Magmar with Bite, Rock Throw, and Tackle. After the battle, Professor Kukui suggests that Ash take over as Rockruff's trainer, since they had developed a close bond. Ash and Rockruff agree, and Rockruff noses Ash's offered [[Poké Ball]], allowing its capture as the third member of Ash's Alola team.

Plot

When Ash and Professor Kukui come home to find Rockruff wounded, Kukui checks his compound's security tapes and finds that it's been leaving the house at night. The next evening, Ash and Kukui follow Rockruff, and find that it is taking part in a fight club overseen by two Lycanroc. Rockruff in particular has developed a rivalry with a Magmar, but doesn't seem able to beat it.

Soon after, Ash takes to training Rockruff to be able to dodge Magmar's Flamethrower. They work on Rockruff's agility and fitness, and use Kiawe's Turtonator for practice. Ash ultimately gets Rockruff to perfect Rock Throw.

Another night, Rockruff eagerly challenges Magmar once more. It gets the upper hand, and finally gets Rock Throw to connect, defeating Magmar with Bite, Rock Throw, and Tackle. After the battle, Professor Kukui suggests that Ash take over as Rockruff's trainer, since they had developed a close bond. Ash and Rockruff agree, and Rockruff noses Ash's offered Poké Ball, allowing its capture as the third member of Ash's Alola team.
