==Plot==
Aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have fallen into a state of boredom and unmotivation. Their monotonous existence is broken, though, when [[Friede]] appears, taking a break from his work at [[Exceed]], and invites the children for some fieldwork with him. However, ever since their adventure in [[Laqua]] ended, nothing seems to really faze or motivate the young Rising Volt Tacklers anymore, not even Friede's promise of taking them to see an amazing Pokémon, feeling they've seen plenty of amazing Pokémon already. Seeing how unmotivated the children are, Friede becomes all the more keen on the fieldwork trip and invites them along anyway, much to their confusion. Along the way, various [[wild Pokémon]] remind the children of their past adventures: a group of wild {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}} reminds [[Dot]] of [[Zirc]], {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} being scared of {{p|Combee}} reminds [[Roy]] of [[HZ014|the time]] when he and {{p|Fuecoco}} were attacked by a {{p|Vespiquen}}, and a group of {{p|Doduo}} running across their path reminds [[Ult]] of [[HZ093|the time]] he and {{TP|Ult|Sableye}} got into trouble with a bunch of {{p|Dodrio}}.

Eventually, they arrive at their destination, a lake, which Friede reveals to be the home of their fieldwork target: a {{p|Feebas}}. The {{pkmn|category|Fish Pokémon}}'s [[Pokédex entry]] leaves the children unimpressed, especially since they've [[HZ071|already fought]] its [[Evolution|evolved]] form, {{p|Milotic}}, at the [[Crystal Pool]], making them feel this'll be an easy catch. Friede, though, seems to know better and encourages them to try and catch the supposedly easy-to-catch Pokémon. The children start [[fishing]] for Feebas, and after a while, the Fish Pokémon indeed makes its presence known. It keeps avoiding their fishing lines, though, and just when Dot seems to have gotten a bite and everyone helps her reel her catch in, it turns out to be a {{p|Slowbro}} instead, causing Feebas to mockingly laugh at them. Seeing that Feebas is tougher than they anticipated, the group decides to switch tactics and use their Pokémon to help catch it. However, even though {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}} manages to drive Feebas to the surface, it quickly escapes from {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and Quaquaval's attempts to seize it and splashes Skeledirge with water before he can use {{m|Torch Song}}. It continues to evade their attacks, splash water on them, and mock them with its laugh, completely mismatching its description on the [[Pokédex]]. Friede points out that every Pokémon is an individual and doesn't always match what the Pokédex tells about them. Experiencing a Pokémon that completely defies their expectations of its [[Pokémon (species)|species]], the group's motivation begins to reignite. They try to immobilize it with Skeledirge's {{m|Disarming Voice}} and Sableye's {{m|Confuse Ray}}, but it quickly breaks free from the immobilization and starts escaping up the river flowing into the lake. The children chase after it while Friede stays behind to prepare dinner, telling them to return by sunset.

As the children chase after Feebas, they notice it starting to do various poses, leading Dot to realize that it's actually wanting to play with them. They also notice that despite Feebas's rugged appearance, its scales look tough, proving that it has lived through a hard life. Feebas eventually runs into the group of Doduo the group saw before and jumps onto one's back, causing it to jump high and actually start running mid-air, surprising the young Rising Volt Tacklers. Feebas continues its escape by bouncing on land, until it's hit by a surprisingly mobile {{p|Kakuna}} and knocked into the water again. Just when Dot thinks they'll finally be able to catch Feebas off-guard, the group is caught off-guard themselves as a Rhydon {{m|Surf}}s past them, having apparently mimicked a {{t|Water}} Pokémon to move in a different element. The group continues to witness many unusual and exciting Pokémon during their chase, but by sunset, when they finally return to Friede, they're forced to admit that Feebas managed to slip away from them, despite several close calls. Friede reveals that no one has ever actually managed to catch this particular strong Feebas, something that he had, in his usual absent-mindedness, completely neglected to mention. The group sits down to eat beneath the starry night sky, reflecting on their day and how, despite failing you catch Feebas, they saw many interesting Pokémon and actually had a fun time for the first time in a while.

The next morning, Friede wakes everyone up early to witness a confrontation between Feebas and [[Captain Pikachu]]. Cap uses "Rising {{m|Volt Tackle}}" just as Feebas leaps out of the water and actually manages to grab it by the back fin. However, the light of the rising sun briefly blinds Cap, allowing Feebas to shake him off, but the two them still exchange looks of respect before Feebas swims away. [[Liko]] admits that after they completed their adventures in Laqua, she was left unsure of what to do next, but now, she knows she wants to keep on adventuring and facing new challenges with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers, a sentiment that her friends share with her wholeheartedly, much to Friede's delight. Aboard the Brave Olivine, [[Mollie]], [[Orla]], and [[Murdock]] agree to start moving again as well and prepare for departure. While the team gathers to do the Rising Volt Tacklers hand sign, Liko and Roy notice the absence of [[Ludlow]]. Murdock reveals that he had some business to take care of, which, unbeknownst to rest of the team, is Ludlow continuing to pose as his superhero alter ego Mighty G, though he declares that he still remains with his comrades in spirit. Liko and Roy declare a reboot on the Rising Volt Tacklers, signaling a new beginning for the team. In the engine room, Orla briefly meets up with Friede, understanding that the whole fieldwork trip was just his way of getting the team fired up again. Friede simply smiles and flies off on {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as the Brave Olivine takes off towards new adventures for the rebooted Rising Volt Tacklers.

==Plot==
Going through news on the internet, [[Dot]] spots several headlines about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] helping people, despite them not being involved in any of those cases. She relays the information of the supposed Rising Volt Tackler and [[Brave Olivine]] sightings to the rest of the team, and they decide to investigate. After interviewing some townspeople, they head out to investigate the place where sightings of the [[Fake Rising Volt Tacklers]] and the second Brave Olivine had happened. [[Ult]], in his usual hot-headedness, runs ahead and soon appears before the group again, briefly accusing them of being the fakes until the group spots the fake Brave Olivine nearby. Sneaking closer, they realize that the fake Brave Olivine is just a structure on top of a camper van that's way smaller than the real thing. Out of the van steps a woman dressed as [[Liko]], who's immediately approached by a man dressed as Dot, a boy dressed as [[Roy]], and a {{p|Pikachu}} dressed as [[Captain Pikachu]]. Immediately upon spotting the Rising Volt Tacklers, they become very excited and announce themselves as their fans, asking for handshakes and autographs. When Ult questions if anyone cares about his presence, the mother brings out their baby, who's dressed as [[Ult's Sableye]]. The father of the family says that ever since [[HZ136|the news]] about the Rising Volt Tacklers saving the day, his son has been a big fan of theirs. Dot tries to say that it was actually [[Ludlow|Mighty G]] who saved the day, but the son insists that the Rising Volt Tacklers were the real heroes, leaving the group with no choice but to sheepishly admit the truth. Following their son becoming a passionate fan of the team, the rest of the family quickly followed suit, making their son a fake [[Mega Ring]] and converting an unused van into a non-flying replica of the Brave Olivine so that they can go on adventures like the real team. Since the Rising Volt Tacklers are now here, the whole family requests for a {{pkmn|battle}} with them, which they gladly accept.

With Captain Pikachu acting as the [[Battle judge|referee]], both sides choose their respective Pokémon, with the Rising Volt Tacklers going with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}, {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}}, and Sableye, while the family uses two {{p|Raichu}}, a Pikachu, and a {{p|Pichu}}, making the battle a four-on-four match, with the winner being decided based on which side defeats all of their opponents first. The son's Pikachu, Beanie, makes the first move with {{m|Wild Charge}}. Meowscarada attempts to counter with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, but is interrupted by a {{m|Fake Out}} from mother's Raichu, Chū-cha, allowing Beanie's attack to hit. While the son congratulates Beanie, Ult tries to take advantage of the opening by having Sableye use {{m|Shadow Sneak}}, but the father's Raichu, Raio, uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to create a bright light that disperses the shadow before it can hit. Beanie continues with another Wild Charge, this time aiming for Quaquaval. While Quaquaval dodges the attack, Chū-cha is able to catch the attack with her tail and fling Beanie towards Skeledirge. When Skeledirge dodges as well, Raio repeats the same maneuver. Beanie starts passing back and forth between the two Raichu, leaving the group's Pokémon to barely dodge his attacks. Unable to hit Pikachu, Ult decides to target the father's Raichu instead. The son tells Beanie to use {{m|Thunder}}, but Quaquaval blocks the attack with {{m|Aqua Cutter}}, impressing the family. When Quaquaval tries to follow up with {{m|Wave Crash}}, the baby's Pichu approaches him and uses its cuteness and {{m|Encore}} to completely throw off Quaquaval's moves, leaving Quaquaval open for a {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} {{m|Nuzzle}} from Pichu.
[[File:Liko Meowscarada Roy Skeledirge Dot Quaquaval.png|thumb|250px|left|Meowscarada, Skeledirge, Quaquaval, and Sableye battling together]]
Beanie and the Raichu duo resume their Wild Charge passing plan, so Dot decides to create the others an opening by having Quaquaval aim for one of the Raichu. Beanie aims for Quaquaval with {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Quaquaval dodges, and Beanie himself is then struck by a {{m|Flower Trick}} from Meowscarada. Chū-cha tries to rush in to help, but is kept at bay by Skeledirge's {{m|Disarming Voice}}. When Quaquaval is about to be distracted by Pichu again, Ult takes care of the {{pkmn|category|Tiny Mouse Pokémon}} by disorienting it with {{m|Confuse Ray}}, allowing Quaquaval to attack, enduring Raio's Thunderbolt and defeating Beanie with Wave Crash. With their children defeated, mother and father take over and start battling in earnest, surprising the Rising Volt Tacklers by revealing a pair of Mega Rings and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] their Raichu into Mega Raichu X and Y, respectively. Quaquaval and Sableye try to attack, but are struck hard by Mega Raichu Y's two-pronged Thunder, allowing Mega Raichu X's Wild Charge to defeat both of them afterwards while also dodging Skeledirge's {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, evening the score and leaving it to Liko and Roy to carry on for the Rising Volt Tacklers' side. They have Meowscarada and Skeledirge attack with Magical Leaf and {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Chū-cha uses {{m|Magnet Rise}} to take Raio into the air with her. While Magical Leaf {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|keeps following them}}, Raio is able to slice it apart with Iron Tail and counterattack with Thunder. Thinking over Mega Raichu Y's way of attacking, Dot comes up with a plan for them.

Following Dot's plan, Roy has Skeledirge use {{m|Torch Song}}, forcing the two Raichu apart. While Raio is forced to dodge multiple Flower Tricks from Meowscarada, Chū-cha avoids the Torch Song and tries to hit Meowscarada with Iron Tail. Meowscarada dodges with {{m|Quick Attack}} and wraps her invisible flower stem around Raio's tail in the process, causing his subsequent Thunder to fail; Dot had figured out that Mega Raichu Y uses his tail to amplify his {{t|Electric}} attacks. With Chū-cha's path blocked by Skeledirge, Raio is left to defend for himself, using Thunderbolt on Meowscarada; the Magician Pokémon counters with Magical Leaf, defeating Raio. Chū-cha starts charging around again, so Meowscarada hides behind Skeledirge. Seeing her two targets merging together, mother has Chū-cha attack with Wild Charge. Roy has Skeledirge stand his ground as the attack hits. Roy's Pokémon successfully endures the attack and throws Raichu into the air, where she's struck by a combination of Flamethrower and Magical Leaf, defeating her and ending the battle in a victory for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Roy thanks Liko for having faith in Skeledirge's ability to stop the attack, with Dot emphasizing that this same Skeledirge [[HZ129|was able to stop even]] [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]'s {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. The family is left in awe by the Rising Volt Tacklers' strength and thank them for their battle. In return, Dot can't help but admit how strong the two Raichu were; the son boasts that his parents used to be {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s, with the father admitting that they even challenged the [[Pokémon League]] in their youth.

While being in awe at the chance to have gotten to meet the Rising Volt Tacklers, the family starts wondering why they're even here in the first place. The group admits that they heard of them being spoken of in online news as the Rising Volt Tacklers. Having not known of being mistaken for their heroes, the family feels sorry and immediately apologizes. The son feels worried that they'll have to stop playing the Rising Volt Tacklers now, but Roy assures him that they don't have to, since they're cheering for them, after all. His friends agree, seeing that the family are not bad people and are in the news for doing good things. Roy encourages the family to keep on adventuring, so, at sunset, accompanied by new [[Photography|photos]] taken with their heroes, the family drives off and bids goodbye to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Liko feels happy that they've inspired someone else to go on adventures as well, and the group heads back to the airship while a Pokémon observes them from the nearby [[tall grass]].

At the Brave Olivine, everyone boards the airship, with Roy and Captain Pikachu being the last ones to climb aboard. However, when Roy goes to the bridge and takes the wheel, he notices Cap in his usual spot at the captain's chair, despite him having just seen Cap going in another direction, leaving Roy confused as the Brave Olivine takes off once more. Above the bridge, at the ship's helm, the "second Cap", unseen by anyone, {{m|transform}}s into a {{p|Ditto}}.

==Plot==
Aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have fallen into a state of boredom and unmotivation. Their monotonous existence is broken, though, when [[Friede]] appears, taking a break from his work at [[Exceed]], and invites the children for some fieldwork with him. However, ever since their adventure in [[Laqua]] ended, nothing seems to really faze or motivate the young Rising Volt Tacklers anymore, not even Friede's promise of taking them to see an amazing Pokémon, feeling they've seen plenty of amazing Pokémon already. Seeing how unmotivated the children are, Friede becomes all the more keen on the fieldwork trip and invites them along anyway, much to their confusion. Along the way, various [[wild Pokémon]] remind the children of their past adventures: a group of wild {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}} reminds [[Dot]] of [[Zirc]], {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} being scared of {{p|Combee}} reminds [[Roy]] of [[HZ014|the time]] when he and {{p|Fuecoco}} were attacked by a {{p|Vespiquen}}, and a group of {{p|Doduo}} running across their path reminds [[Ult]] of [[HZ093|the time]] he and {{TP|Ult|Sableye}} got into trouble with a bunch of {{p|Dodrio}}.

Eventually, they arrive at their destination, a lake, which Friede reveals to be the home of their fieldwork target: a {{p|Feebas}}. The {{pkmn|category|Fish Pokémon}}'s [[Pokédex entry]] leaves the children unimpressed, especially since they've [[HZ071|already fought]] its [[Evolution|evolved]] form, {{p|Milotic}}, at the [[Crystal Pool]], making them feel this'll be an easy catch. Friede, though, seems to know better and encourages them to try and catch the supposedly easy-to-catch Pokémon. The children start [[fishing]] for Feebas, and after a while, the Fish Pokémon indeed makes its presence known. It keeps avoiding their fishing lines, though, and just when Dot seems to have gotten a bite and everyone helps her reel her catch in, it turns out to be a {{p|Slowbro}} instead, causing Feebas to mockingly laugh at them. Seeing that Feebas is tougher than they anticipated, the group decides to switch tactics and use their Pokémon to help catch it. However, even though {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}} manages to drive Feebas to the surface, it quickly escapes from {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and Quaquaval's attempts to seize it and splashes Skeledirge with water before he can use {{m|Torch Song}}. It continues to evade their attacks, splash water on them, and mock them with its laugh, completely mismatching its description on the [[Pokédex]]. Friede points out that every Pokémon is an individual and doesn't always match what the Pokédex tells about them. Experiencing a Pokémon that completely defies their expectations of its [[Pokémon (species)|species]], the group's motivation begins to reignite. They try to immobilize it with Skeledirge's {{m|Disarming Voice}} and Sableye's {{m|Confuse Ray}}, but it quickly breaks free from the immobilization and starts escaping up the river flowing into the lake. The children chase after it while Friede stays behind to prepare dinner, telling them to return by sunset.

As the children chase after Feebas, they notice it starting to do various poses, leading Dot to realize that it's actually wanting to play with them. They also notice that despite Feebas's rugged appearance, its scales look tough, proving that it has lived through a hard life. Feebas eventually runs into the group of Doduo the group saw before and jumps onto one's back, causing it to jump high and actually start running mid-air, surprising the young Rising Volt Tacklers. Feebas continues its escape by bouncing on land, until it's hit by a surprisingly mobile {{p|Kakuna}} and knocked into the water again. Just when Dot thinks they'll finally be able to catch Feebas off-guard, the group is caught off-guard themselves as a Rhydon {{m|Surf}}s past them, having apparently mimicked a {{t|Water}} Pokémon to move in a different element. The group continues to witness many unusual and exciting Pokémon during their chase, but by sunset, when they finally return to Friede, they're forced to admit that Feebas managed to slip away from them, despite several close calls. Friede reveals that no one has ever actually managed to catch this particular strong Feebas, something that he had, in his usual absent-mindedness, completely neglected to mention. The group sits down to eat beneath the starry night sky, reflecting on their day and how, despite failing you catch Feebas, they saw many interesting Pokémon and actually had a fun time for the first time in a while.

The next morning, Friede wakes everyone up early to witness a confrontation between Feebas and [[Captain Pikachu]]. Cap uses "Rising {{m|Volt Tackle}}" just as Feebas leaps out of the water and actually manages to grab it by the back fin. However, the light of the rising sun briefly blinds Cap, allowing Feebas to shake him off, but the two them still exchange looks of respect before Feebas swims away. [[Liko]] admits that after they completed their adventures in Laqua, she was left unsure of what to do next, but now, she knows she wants to keep on adventuring and facing new challenges with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers, a sentiment that her friends share with her wholeheartedly, much to Friede's delight. Aboard the Brave Olivine, [[Mollie]], [[Orla]], and [[Murdock]] agree to start moving again as well and prepare for departure. While the team gathers to do the Rising Volt Tacklers hand sign, Liko and Roy notice the absence of [[Ludlow]]. Murdock reveals that he had some business to take care of, which, unbeknownst to rest of the team, is Ludlow continuing to pose as his superhero alter ego Mighty G, though he declares that he still remains with his comrades in spirit. Liko and Roy declare a reboot on the Rising Volt Tacklers, signaling a new beginning for the team. In the engine room, Orla briefly meets up with Friede, understanding that the whole fieldwork trip was just his way of getting the team fired up again. Friede simply smiles and flies off on {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as the Brave Olivine takes off towards new adventures for the rebooted Rising Volt Tacklers.

==Blurb==

<i>Everything has led to this moment—a final showdown between the Rising Volt Tacklers and Spinel in Laqua. As the Laquium Core resists attacks, Liko and friends’ victory seems uncertain, but they push ahead alongside their Pokémon.</i>

==Plot==
[[Chalce]], [[Coral]], and [[Sidian]], overlooking the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' battle against the [[Laquium]] Core, are joined by [[Hamber]]. Upon learning that [[Spinel]] disappeared into the Core itself, Hamber decides to step into the battlefield as his last duty for the [[Explorers]]. He and [[Diana]] start attacking the Core, quickly joined by the Explorers Admins. Inspired by this support, [[Roy]] makes a speech to [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] about their [[HZ089|promise]] to [[Lucius]] about protecting the {{pkmn|world}}'s future. The [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|spirit]] of Lucius invisibly appears next to Roy, and his [[Mega Ring]] reacts with Rayquaza, allowing him to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Rayquaza into Mega Rayquaza, much to everyone's surprise. Witnessing this, [[Amethio]] makes a similar speech to [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] about [[Gibeon|his grandfather]]'s parting words to him about following his own path, which he cannot follow if the world isn't saved. The spirit of Gibeon holds his grandson's hand, triggering Amethio's [[Key Stone]], which reacts with Zygarde's [[Zygardite]] and turns it into Mega Zygarde, producing an even greater surprised reaction from everyone. As the two Mega-Evolved {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{t|Dragon}}s prepare to attack, the Laquium Core sprouts flower-like buds of Laquium in an attempt to counterattack, but [[Friede]], [[Ult]], {{an|Nemona}}, and [[Ann]] successfully destroy these buds before their attacks can properly go off. Amethio commands Zygarde to use {{m|Nihil Light}}, which powers through the Core's defenses and deals a destructive hit on it. Roy follows suit by ordering Rayquaza to use {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. When the Core attempts to defend itself once more, Roy has {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} use {{m|Torch Song}}, which combines with Rayquaza's [[move]] to boost its power, plowing through the attempted defense and damaging the Core even further. As a last-ditch effort, the Core unleashes a cloud of Laquium mist, but through sheer force of will, {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} manages to resist its effects, before helping everyone else snap out of it as well. With [[Rystal]]'s spirit standing by her great-great-granddaughter's side, [[Liko]] has [[Pagogo]] turn into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and {{Tera}}stallize all of the Tera Type representatives. Resonating with all of its friends, Pagogo engulfs the entire Laquium Core in a large barrier and rises high into the air with it as all the Terastallized Pokémon return to normal and the Laquium crystal tower that had supported the Core collapses.
[[File:Spinel Umbreon leaving.png|thumb|left|250px|Umbreon abandoning Spinel]]
Spinel emerges from the pile of Laquium crystals, causing his concerned {{p|Umbreon}} to rush over to him. Openly desperate to save the Core, he tells Umbreon to fight for him, only for his Pokémon to refuse the offered Laquium crystal. In his desperation, Spinel shatters the crystal and forcibly exposes Umbreon to the Laquium, driving her feral. In order to protect Pagogo, Liko and Meowscarada engage Spinel and Umbreon in a {{pkmn|battle}}, quickly gaining the upper hand. Spinel is outraged that Laquium could be overpowered like this; Liko sternly tells him that their power lies in their bonds. Spinel's rage increases, refusing to believe that something intangible and invisible as bonds could even exist. Liko states that while bonds can't be seen, they can be felt, her belief in these precious and irreplaceable bonds being fueled by her love of Pokémon, believing that people and Pokémon around the world feel the same way, including Spinel himself; she challenges his stated beliefs by stating that he and his Umbreon must also love each other, which is why Umbreon is willing to push herself so far for him. Spinel tries to deny this, but is unable to not recall how his Umbreon had [[Evolution|evolved]] from an {{p|Eevee}} in his childhood [[Friendship Evolution|through their friendship]]. He expresses his irritation towards Liko and has Umbreon attack, but the {{pkmn|category|Moonlight Pokémon}} is defeated by Meowscarada's {{m|Magical Leaf}}, removing the effects of Laquium from her in the process. Simultaneously, Pagogo lifts its barrier, revealing that the Laquium Core has been completely erased, removing its threat forever and ending Spinel's scheme once and for all. Left with no choice but to accept defeat, Spinel attempts to [[recall]] Umbreon, but instead, she smacks her {{i|Poké Ball}} out of his hand, making it fall to the ground and break on impact, before running away from her former {{pkmn|Trainer}}, ignoring his desperate pleas to come back. Sidian muses that Spinel never learned a thing from Gibeon's end. Hamber takes charge of the Explorers present and orders them all to leave Laqua, himself included.

At sunset, as the [[Brave Olivine]] approaches to pick up the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies from Laqua, Liko notices that all of the [[wild Pokémon]] are starting to return now that Laquium isn't around to threaten them anymore. However, it also becomes clear that Laqua suffered heavily from the events that transpired there, and it'll take time for the paradise to recover. Worried about this, Pagogo turns to Zygarde and the [[Six Heroes]]. Liko, Roy, and Amethio quickly realize that all of them wish to stay in Laqua in order to protect it and help the paradise regain its former glory. Liko understands how precious Laqua is to the Pokémon that live there and accepts Pagogo's decision with a smile, knowing that Rystal will also be watching over Laqua, which Roy and Amethio know to stand true for Lucius and Gibeon as well. With Zygarde dispersing into its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] and Rayquaza flying into the sky, Liko also bids a somber goodbye to Pagogo, promising to come see it again someday. The Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies leave Laqua, with Pagogo, five of the Six Heroes, and the spirits of Lucius, Rystal, and Gibeon watching after them.

Gradually, the world begins to heal. Trainers start reuniting with their abandoned Pokémon, the Rising Volt Tacklers' good public image is restored by public media and influencers like [[Stunner Fisk]] and [[Litten Smitten]] spreading good word about them, Spinel's lies are exposed, [[Strong Sphere]]s are getting recalled and destroyed around the world, [[Cervantis]] retakes his position as the director of [[Exceed]] and appoints Friede and [[Yanga]] to reinvestigate the dangers of Laquium, Amethio mends his broken relationship with his father, Diana and Hamber resume their adventures together, Coral and Sidian continue being celebrities, and Chalce returns to her life as a teacher, her old school finally getting renovated. At nighttime, Umbreon sneaks into a moonlit prison yard and briefly gazes at Spinel, now a broken man, through the barred window of his cell, before leaving once again and disappearing into the night.

With the Rising Volt Tacklers' reputation as the good guys restored, the Brave Olivine once again sets sail across the sky, heading towards new, bright horizons.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ136 Title card.png|thumb|230px|Title card]]
* There is no [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] segment for this episode.
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on the screen before and after the commercial break.
* The [[title card]] for this episode is shown over the background directly, and thus is not read aloud.
* Instead of the usual ending animation, ''[[Asleep or Awake]]'' is used as an insert song at the end of the episode while the credits are played on-screen.
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], this is the first episode in the {{pkmn|animated series}} in which a [[Legendary Pokémon]] is seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].
** This is also the first time in all of the animated series that a Legendary Pokémon required a [[Mega Stone]] and a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[Key Stone]] to Mega Evolve.
* This is the first time in {{aniseries|HZ}} that a Key Stone is not shown to be placed in a [[Mega Ring]] based on its {{g|Legends: Z-A}} appearance.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** A main character has {{pkmn2|released}} a Pokémon in ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''.
** A female main character has officially released a non-temporary Pokémon [[DP019|without recatching it later]] since {{an|Misty}} released her {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', 1,049 episodes earlier.
** Legendary Pokémon have been voluntarily released.
* [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Umbreon}} is confirmed to be female in this episode, due to the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] as an {{p|Eevee}} in a flashback.
* Although most of the notable [[Explorers]] members' fates are shown at the end of the episode, the fates of [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] are left unknown.
* Spinel's Umbreon abandoning her Trainer is reminiscent of the [[White Zygarde]] abandoning [[Gibeon]] in ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'' for their selfish actions in using the Laquium. This marks one of the few instances of a Pokémon outright abandoning their Trainer.
** Both instances also happened following a battle against [[Liko's Meowscarada]].
* This is the last episode of the ''[[Rising Again]]'' arc.
* This is the season finale of [[Pokémon Horizons: Season 3—Rising Hope]].
* Instead of a traditional next episode preview, this episode is followed by a preview of the ''[[Wonder Voyage]]'' arc.

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* The scene where Spinel's Umbreon is caught in the explosion caused by Meowscarada's {{m|Magical Leaf}} and blown away as a result is removed in the dub.
