==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult find themselves in battle with a pair of Explorers members using Strong Spheres to power up their Paldean Tauros. But the young Trainers discover a weakness of the Laquium-affected Pokémon, and they use that knowledge to win the battle. Inspired by their teamwork and determination, Orla decides that she wants to rejoin the Rising Volt Tacklers and fly on board the Brave Olivine again. She’s joined by Murdock, Mollie, and Ludlow, who all arrive to help get the ship up and running. When Dot boots up the Rising Volt Tacklers app, a message appears—who is it from?

==Plot==
Picking up from where the [[HZ099|last episode]] left off, the two [[Explorers]], [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], begin the {{pkmn|battle}} by having their respective {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}} attack. The children's Pokémon dodge, but the two Tauros manage to land [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] {{m|Raging Bull}} attacks on [[Liko's Meowscarada]] and [[Roy's Crocalor]]. [[Dot]] notices how their opponents did not call out any moves, much like [[HZ097|the battle]] with [[Stunner Fisk]]. [[Dot's Quaxwell]] and [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}} try to attack, but are immediately pushed back thanks to the [[Laquium]] in the [[Strong Sphere]]s enhancing the capabilities of the two Tauros. Meowscarada uses {{m|Magical Leaf}} on the {{form|Paldean Tauros|Aqua Breed}} Tauros. However, it is intercepted by the {{form|Paldean Tauros|Blaze Breed}} Tauros. Crocalor rushes in to help with {{m|Flame Charge}}, only for the Aqua Breed Tauros to counterattack without a command from its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Crocalor manages to stop himself before the attack could hit as Quaxwell and Sableye save Meowscarada using {{m|Aqua Cutter}} and {{m|Power Gem}}, respectively, to cancel the attack before all four Pokémon retreat to their Trainers' side.

Without a blind spot to exploit, the four Pokémon are forced to dodge another set of Raging Bull attacks. As Dot tries to come up with a plan, Ult has Sableye use {{m|Confuse Ray}} that succeeds in {{status|confusing}} Indi's Tauros, causing it to attack Rubina's Tauros that couldn't dodge despite Rubina calling for it to do so. That moment allowed Dot to realize how the Pokémon had been battling while under the influence of Laquium. She explains how Laquium increases a Pokémon's fighting instincts, but at the cost of no longer being able to respond to orders from their Trainers. With this in mind, when the two Tauros charge in with Raging Bull, Meowscarada and Crocalor dodge in the opposite directions from earlier at the last second. This results in both Tauros hitting each other and becoming disoriented. The four Pokémon seize the opportunity and successfully defeat the two {{pkmn|category|Wild Bull Pokémon}}.

As the Explorers were shocked at their defeat, [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] rebuke them by saying their Strong Spheres could never overcome the bond between a Pokémon and their Trainer, forcing the Explorers and [[Exceed]] employees to leave [[Karna's Poké Ball factory]] without the Strong Sphere shells. Inside her factory, [[Karna]] promises to dispose the shells she made, but points out it wouldn't make much of a difference if her factory wasn't the only one commissioned to make the shells. Liko and the others are determined to stop Strong Spheres from being released to the public. [[Orla]] asks to help them as watching their battle earlier made her remember [[Friede]] would never let this run on, and becomes inspired to adventure as a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] once more, making the kids happy to have her join them. Orla asks for three days to ensure the [[Brave Olivine]] is in perfect condition while her Pokémon and the kids offer their own help.
[[File:Liko team HZ100.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko and her Pokémon helping clean the Brave Olivine]]
Three days later, the airship is ready to take off for the skies again. The kids are eager to board, but Orla stops them, revealing she has more good news while turning behind her. [[Mollie]], [[Murdock]], and their Pokémon step out from the bushes, explaining how Orla had told them about the Brave Olivine being restored and got the approval from their respective workplaces to rejoin the group. [[Ludlow]] wasn't informed because he didn't have a [[Rotom Phone]], but to everyone's shock, he is already sitting on his usual place on the Brave Olivine after "hearing from the waves" about the Brave Olivine's upcoming departure. Orla asks on the behalf of the adults present to join the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed by the kids, which they belatedly agree to. Ult also declares he's going to join their team, wanting to take up the position as captain. While he was disappointed to find out [[Captain Pikachu]] has already been designated captain, everyone else doesn't mind letting Ult join the team.

The newly reformed Rising Volt Tacklers settle into their old positions on the airship, including Dot who is booting up the team app's server. When it finishes booting up, Dot notices an encrypted voice message was received from an unknown address a month ago. She successfully decrypts the message and plays it, sending the original Rising Volt Tacklers into disbelief when Friede's voice is heard in the message. Once they calm down, Dot plays the message again, where Friede reveals both he and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} are doing well after being blown off the ship [[HZ089|during the events at Laqua]]. He apologizes for not being able to send a message sooner due to the Explorers watching him and asks they look after themselves until he returns while he does his own investigation into the Laquium. Everyone decides to not only celebrate their reunion, but also Friede's survival. Karna sees Orla off while they thank each other for the past year. Orla gives Karna a {{i|Poké Ball}} she made. While not as good at the one she usually makes, Karna compliments it as a unique Poké Ball that only Orla could make and promises to cherish it much like Orla did with the Poké Ball [[HZ029|she received from Karna]]. When the Brave Olivine finally sets sail for the first time in a year, Roy suggests doing something, which Liko and Dot agree to as Ult becomes bewildered. On the wing deck, Liko leads the Rising Volt Tacklers as they do their signature handshake.

Meanwhile, at Exceed, Indi and Rubina report their failure to [[Spinel]], who excuses them since failure is expected from time to time. Instead, he asks the two keep up with their missions for the Explorers before they leave. Hearing about the Rising Volt Tacklers being active again, Spinel plots to get rid of them again.

* [[Heart-Pounding Diary]] is used as an insert song near the end of the episode when the [[Brave Olivine]] takes flight.

===Errors===
* Orla claims that [[Ludlow]] doesn’t own a smartphone, but he was shown in possession of a [[Rotom Phone]] in several episodes, such as ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' and ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]''.
*In the English Dub, after Crocalor stops to avoid Aqua Breed Tauros' attack, Ult commands Sableye to use Power Gem. The subtitles refer to the move as "Power Gems".

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, the insert of Heart-Throbbing Diary is substituted by a remix of Becoming Me.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
After resting for the night, the group arrives at the site where {{p|Entei}} was spotted and have a small [[picnic]]. They discuss more about Entei being in [[Area Zero]] and their suspicions of it being one of the [[Six Heroes]] this time, all while being watched by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] unknowingly. As the group is packing up, Entei appears before them, albeit with a slightly different appearance to the [[HZ078|one they met]] in [[Johto]]. However, [[Pagogo]]'s resonance and the appearance of the other Six Heroes under [[Liko]]'s care confirms this Entei is indeed the one they are looking for. Holding [[Lucius]]'s belt, Liko approaches Entei and asks it to join them. In response, Entei brings out its [[Ancient Poké Ball]] and passes it to Liko. Her happiness at the thought of it joining them is short-lived when Entei suddenly swipes Lucius's belt from her, challenging them to retrieve the belt from it. With no other option, Liko, [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] get ready to {{pkmn|battle}} while [[Briar]] and Pagogo watch from the sidelines.

Once Entei secures the belt in its fur, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} uses {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} to target the weakness of the {{type|Fire}}, but Entei uses {{m|Burning Bulwark}} to [[Protection|protect itself]] and render Stomping Tantrum useless. {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} tries to follow up with {{m|Liquidation}} but not only did the attack fail but Quaxwell is {{status|Burn|burned}} from touching Entei. {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} presses forward with {{m|Acrobatics}} but dodges at the last second, receiving a small burn in return. When the heat surrounding Entei's body disappears, Dot comes up with another strategy once she realizes Burning Bulwark uses a lot of energy, thereby Entei cannot use it for long. Using {{m|Magical Leaf}}, Stomping Tantrum, and {{m|Water Gun}}, the three Pokémon successfully get Entei to use Burning Bulwark again and maintain their distance until the move wears off, allowing [[Captain Pikachu]] to land a {{m|Thunder Punch}} that barely caused any damage. In retaliation, Entei uses {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, to everyone's shock. With this new piece of information, Dot, Friede, and Briar come to same conclusion — the Pokémon before them is not Entei but a [[Paradox Pokémon]].

Briar elaborates further on what Paradox Pokémon are, with Roy realising the strange-looking {{p|Magneton}} from before was also a Paradox Pokémon. Since the existence of these Pokémon is only recognised in the recent years, it is likely both Lucius and [[Rystal]] mistook the Paradox Pokémon for Entei. Since they are battling a completely different Pokémon, Dot deduces this one is a {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} Pokémon, leaving Stomping Tantrum as the only effective move against it. Despite this, their strategy doesn't change and Floragato and Quaxwell attack once more, but the Pokémon did not use Burning Bulwark as expected. Dot has Quaxwell jump into the river, with Cap using {{m|Double Team}} to distract the Paradox Pokémon, and use {{m|Air Cutter}} from there, learning {{m|Aqua Cutter}} in the process. Fed up with the attack, the Paradox Pokémon uses Burning Bulwark again, resulting in Crocalor unleashing a powered-up Stomping Tantrum once the flame wears off. Roy attempts to keep up the momentum, but the Paradox Pokémon shoots a Dragon Pulse into the sky, causing the clouds to part such that sunlight would hit the Pokémon directly and trigger its [[Ability]], {{a|Protosynthesis}}. With its attack power raised, it uses {{m|Raging Fury}}, which Briar remarks looks like a pillar of fire. She realizes something and with reference to the [[Scarlet Book]], Briar tells everyone the true identity of the Paradox Pokémon — {{p|Gouging Fire}}.

Gouging Fire is able to deal severe damage to Floragato, Crocalor, and Quaxwell with Raging Fury. When Floragato tries to stand up, Cap uses Double Team to distract Gouging Fire once more but ends up being cornered. Roy has Crocalor save Cap by using {{m|Flame Charge}}. In spite of the strength of their opponent, everyone finds it fun and Dot is inspired to come up with another strategy to beat Gouging Fire. At that point, they notice Gouging Fire acting {{status|confused}} once the flame wears off. Dot is entrusted to create a new strategy with Sidian still watching while holding off Coral, who is itching to battle. With a new plan in place, Gouging Fire uses Raging Fury as Liko, Roy, and Dot {{Tera}}stallize their Pokémon. The three Pokémon attack Gouging Fire from all directions before Quaxwell uses a flurry of Aqua Cutter to lure Gouging Fire into the river and extinguish its flames, leaving it wet and confused. This gives Cap an opportunity to land an effective Thunder Punch, with Lucius's belt coming out from Gouging Fire's fur during its struggle. Floragato captures the belt with its vine and Dot holds it before Gouging Fire, victorious.

With the battle over, Liko asks Gouging Fire if they have earned its approval. Gouging Fire shows the group a vision of Lucius also earning Gouging Fire's approval after his trouble with befriending it. Despite the trouble, Lucius is grateful for all the encounters that has occurred and together with Rystal, the two set off for [[Laqua]]. Afterwards, [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] allows itself to be recalled into its Ancient Poké Ball. Holding the Ancient Poké Ball, Liko comments how the Entei they believed to be one of the Six Heroes was really Gouging Fire. Roy enthusiastically declares all that they need to do now is find the [[Black Rayquaza]], which Liko agrees. Suddenly, Pagogo and five of the Six Heroes resonate again, with the clouds above parting to reveal the Black Rayquaza, stunning everyone as it flies down the sky.

==Major events==

* [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Friede]], and [[Dot]] find [[Lucius]]'s {{p|Entei}}, but discover it is actually a {{p|Gouging Fire}}.
* [[Dot's Quaxwell]] learns {{m|Aqua Cutter}}.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
With the help of the [[Six Heroes]], [[Pagogo]] {{Tera}}stallizes into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and successfully purifies the [[Laquium]] on [[Laqua]], leaving [[Gibeon]] to mourn the goal he can no longer fulfill. [[Amethio]] steps forward and tells his grandfather what he has observed by his side before vowing he will fulfill his goal without resorting to the Laquium. Gibeon believes he does not have the right to think about the future since [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] left him, but [[Lucius]] points out Zygarde chose Gibeon as its partner because it understood Gibeon's goals before he lost his way. Lucius then tells Gibeon to entrust the future to the next generation, starting with Amethio. Looking at his grandson, Gibeon agrees with Lucius and the two begin to glow, with Lucius revealing it's time for them to go. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are devastated since they have only just met, but Lucius is content with it since he has done everything he needed to do and entrusts Pagogo to [[Liko]]. Gibeon tells Amethio to continue walking the path he believes in with {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} before the two reconciled friends join [[Rystal]] in the afterlife. Pagogo is happy to see Lucius one last time as the Six Heroes are {{pkmn2|released}} from their [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s now that Lucius is gone.

However, [[Spinel]] is upset by the situation and declares he will surpass Gibeon. Bringing out a gadget that Amethio recognizes as the [[Strong Sphere|Laquium Sphere]]s, Spinel tosses it towards the Six Heroes, ejecting Laquium mist that causes the Six Heroes to go berserk. Spinel also declares the [[Explorers]] shall take over Laqua as the Six Heroes begin attacking each other. The kids wants to do something but [[Friede]] points out they're currently lacking power to do anything. When Liko sees Pagogo being too exhausted to do anything, she pleads with the Six Heroes to stop fighting. Unfortunately, that just turns {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} and {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}'s attention on her, unleashing their attacks on the kids, who are saved by the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Rayquaza urges the Rising Volt Tacklers to leave just as [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] do the same with Amethio. Amethio escapes first on his {{p|Corviknight}} with his subordinates while the Rising Volt Tacklers leave Rayquaza to keep its former allies distracted.

Seeing the Pokémon leave the former paradise in disarray leaves the kids feeling devastated while Friede questions the Explorers' intent in taking over Laqua despite the Laquium being purified. Just then, the earth below them breaks apart, causing Liko to lose her balance and fall down. This results in Lucius's belt and notebook falling from her backpack into the chasm below, making Liko upset at losing something important. Friede consoles the kids by saying Lucius's adventure will last when they remember it before turning to the sky and wishing they could escape by flying, remembering his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} is still weak from [[HZ087|the Laquium exposure]]. {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} comes out from her {{i|Poké Ball}} to restore Charizard's health with a {{m|Heal Pulse}}. With [[Roy]] on {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Friede, Liko, and [[Dot]] on Charizard, the group flies out of Laqua while braving the winds that picked up along the way. Reaching the edge of the crater, the younger members are unsure how to escape as [[Kumuri Mountain]] itself begins to shake, making the way down dangerous. Friede calms them down by mentioning the people they can depend on as the [[Brave Olivine]] comes into view. However, they can see the Olivine struggling to go beyond its maximum altitude limit. In the captain's deck, recognizing this to be an emergency, [[Orla]] presses the emergency button that transforms the airship into the "Brave Olivine: Infinite Rising", allowing the crew to rescue Friede and the others. Unfortunately, before they can make it inside, the wind becomes stronger, and Friede, Charizard, and [[Captain Pikachu]] are nearly blown overboard since they were unable to hold onto anything. With Charizard barely holding onto the airship, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Orla try to save the three. Friede takes Cap, who was hanging onto Friede's goggles, and entrusts him to look after everyone before safely handing him to Liko. Friede gives a wistful smile before he and Charizard lose their grips and fall into the clouds, leaving the onlookers horrified.

One year later, Liko is in her dormitory at [[Indigo Academy]], looking at her last adventure as [[Ann]] fetches her for class. Liko, {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, and Hattrem leave the room, with a Poké Ball resting on Liko's desk. In [[Levincia]], Spinel is giving an interview on Laqua's restoration as the new director of [[Exceed]]. He also frames the Rising Volt Tacklers for Laqua's collapse the year prior and tells the interviewer everything will be safe in the hands of the Explorers, including the unknown phenomenon affecting Pokémon worldwide. Elsewhere, Roy, with a [[Mega Ring]] on his wrist, gets ready to set off, with his Pokémon team by his side, including a {{Shiny}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} and Cap.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ089 Title card.png|thumb|230px|Title card]]
* The [[title card]] for this episode is shown over the background directly, and thus is not read aloud.
* There is no [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]] for this episode.
* This is the last episode of the ''Rayquaza Rising'' chapter.

* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Friede]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], and the second features [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}.
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes Store|iTunes]], [[Prime Video|Amazon]], and [[Google Play]] in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2025. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua]]''.
* As of this episode:
** All 18 types are represented by a Pokémon owned by the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] or living aboard the [[Brave Olivine]].
** {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} is no longer the only Pokémon owned by a young member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to not be from [[Generation IX]].
** {{Ash}} is no longer the only main character to have access to more than one battle technique, as [[Roy]] has access to both [[Mega Evolution]] and {{Tera}}stallization.
** [[Dot]] is the only younger member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to not have three Pokémon in her [[party]].
* Instead of a traditional next episode preview, this episode is followed by a preview of the ''Mega Voltage'' arc.
* This is the first instance where a clear timeskip between events in the animated series has been shown.

'''The Earthshaking White Zygarde''' (Japanese: '''激震の白いジガルデ''' ''Shockwaves from the White Zygarde'') is the 88th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,320th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on March 14, 2025.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
In [[Kumuri Town]], the residents watch [[Kumuri Mountain]] worriedly as the {{OBP|matriarch|HZ084}} says history is repeating itself, leaving [[Yuha]] concerned for his new friends. On the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Murdock]], [[Ludlow]], [[Mollie]], and the Pokémon also watch Kumuri Mountain without being able to get in contact with [[Liko]] and the others. In the captain's deck, [[Orla]] gazes at the mountain before turning to the emergency button that had been installed during the repairs.

On [[Laqua]], the [[Explorers]] continue their progress to activate the [[Laquium]] core as [[Pagogo]] charges up its energy. Liko, [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Amethio]] stand before [[Gibeon]] and his [[White Zygarde]], and they start the battle by sending an onslaught of attacks that Zygarde dodges effortlessly. Dot notes {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s {{m|Disarming Voice}} being the only move that would work [[Type#Type effectiveness|super effectively]] against the {{pkmn|category|Order Pokémon}}, so she and Liko send {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{p|Floragato}} to create an opening for Crocalor to attack. However, Zygarde stops them from approaching with {{m|Land's Wrath}}. {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} moves in with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, but Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}} not only stops Ceruledge but also damage Floragato, Crocalor, and Quaxwell. Gibeon declares his opponents will be eliminated before Dot suggests they attack from mid-air. Roy has Crocalor use {{m|Flame Charge}} along the terrain to launch himself into the air, but Zygarde's {{m|Thousand Arrows}} sends Crocalor back to the ground and force Floragato and Quaxwell to evade. Ceruledge attempts to attack from behind but Zygarde jumps into the air and unleashes a Core Enforcer attack in the Fire Blades Pokémon's direction. Before the attack lands, Ceruledge is saved by Floragato using her bud and the kids remind Amethio he is not battling alone. Dot is stuck on how to proceed and Roy suggests they charge in, with Amethio supporting the idea.

With a plan in place, Floragato approaches Zygarde, with the others following suit. Gibeon orders Zygarde to use Thousand Arrows and Dot manages to get a hint once the smoke from the attack clears up. Dot explains her findings to the others and they get their Pokémon rushing to Zygarde once more, evading Thousand Arrows in the process. Unfortunately, the four of them get caught off guard by Zygarde using {{m|Thousand Waves}} instead of waiting for the [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] to return. Gibeon tries to have Zygarde use Core Enforcer once more but Amethio has Ceruledge use {{m|Phantom Force}} to send them into the air and unleash their attacks from there, including a supereffective Disarming Voice. Liko thanks Amethio, who attributes their success to being in sync, as Gibeon laments letting Zygarde get attacked. Liko and the others press on as Zygarde uses Core Enforcer that is blocked by {{m|Aqua Cutter}} and {{m|Psycho Cut}} from Quaxwell and Ceruledge respectively. Another Core Enforcer is unleashed but Floragato and Crocalor manage to stop it with {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}, allowing Quaxwell and Ceruledge to have an opening. Before they could land their attacks, Gibeon orders Zygarde to use Thousand Waves. The four Pokémon manage to hold on and attack once more, with Gibeon purposely letting the attacks land to let Zygarde to land a devastating Land's Wrath that leaves its opponents on the brink of defeat.

Seizing the chance to also stop Pagogo, Gibeon has Zygarde use Core Enforcer, but Liko gets Floragato to stop it with Magical Leaf. Despite [[Spinel]] being sure the battle is over, Liko refuses to give up and runs to her partner, who is trying her best to protect everyone. Liko declares she will also protect everyone and their wishes, encouraging Roy and Dot to run to their partners and support their friend. Empowered by their feelings, Floragato [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, stunning the people watching. Amethio runs to Ceruledge, who expresses something to its Trainer. Recognizing what his partner is trying to convey, Amethio thanks Ceruledge and the two stand alongside Liko and Meowscarada. Determining Ceruledge only has enough strength for one last attack, Amethio entrusts Liko and Meowscarada to end the battle once he and Ceruledge open a path for them. Everyone watches on as Meowscarada and Ceruledge dodge a Land's Wrath attack from Zygarde, who uses Core Enforcer afterwards but with Amethio's encouragement, Ceruledge stops the attack with {{m|Bitter Blade}}. This allows Meowscarada to get close and attack Zygarde with consecutive hits from {{m|Acrobatics}} before it evades her {{m|Sucker Punch}} by jumping into the air. Gibeon attempts to end it by getting Zygarde to use Core Enforcer but the Magician Pokémon sends the Order Pokémon to the ground with her newly learned {{m|Flower Trick}}, shocking the leader of the Explorers.

As Liko and Meowscarada celebrate, Zygarde gets back up. Gibeon orders Zygarde to keep attacking but it ignores his words to stare at Liko, Amethio, and their Pokémon. Shortly after, it disassembles itself back into the earth, leaving its devastated former Trainer behind. [[Lucius]] steps forward to tell Gibeon he has lost now that Zygarde approves of Liko and her friends. Gibeon demands to know what makes Lucius and his allies so different that he is the one defeated, and Lucius easily answers it is because of their bonds. Gibeon finds the idea absurd as it is not something that can be explained by science but Lucius counters the argument with the fact that Pokémon are strange creatures that can create miracles, such as Meowscarada evolving once her and Liko's feelings were in sync. Amethio supports Lucius's reasoning, saying he also sensed his feelings being in tune with Ceruledge earlier. The Ancient Adventurer suggests that Zygarde was trying to show its Trainer that bonds can create endless possibilities, causing Gibeon, and Lucius once he got close, to gaze at the [[Poké Ball]] that once held Zygarde. At that moment, Pagogo shines brightly and flies towards the top of the Laquium cluster alongside the [[Six Heroes]], {{Tera}}stallizing into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}. Pagogo then shared its energy with the Six Heroes, transforming them into a Terastallization-like state, before they all float into the sky.

==Major events==

* [[Liko]]'s {{p|Floragato}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and learns {{m|Flower Trick}}.
* Liko, [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Amethio]] battle [[Gibeon]], but Gibeon's [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] forfeits, revealing it was only just a test for Liko's growth.
* Zygarde abandons Gibeon.
* [[Pagogo]] transforms into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and begins the process of purifying [[Laqua]] alongside the [[Six Heroes]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Moments before the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Explorers]] [[HZ086|witness the pink smoke pillar]], [[Gibeon]] arrives at the site where the [[Laquium]] cluster resides, alongside his {{form|Zygarde|10% Forme}} [[White Zygarde]]. Gibeon greets [[Lucius]] as Zygarde cries out. Random spots begin glowing on the ground and [[Zygarde Cell]]s come out from it, merging with Zygarde to transform it into its 50% Forme. This pleases Gibeon and he tries to join his partner by standing up from his wheelchair, but falls over instead. He uses a small crystal of Laquium to re-energize himself, stands back up and orders Zygarde to excavate the crystals, but is interrupted by [[Amethio]]'s arrival. Amethio reveals [[Spinel]]'s plan based on [[HZ083|the research he found]] in the latter's lab, but his grandfather says Spinel is simply taking initiative in researching the Laquium. Amethio then questions if the Laquium is truly ethical, remembering [[HZ064|what happened]] to Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}}, and asserts there could be other ways to help people and Pokémon without using the Laquium. However, Gibeon declares Amethio to be naive and returns to excavating the Laquium.

Elsewhere, the Explorer admins prepare to resume the battle despite [[Pagogo]]'s negative reaction. Suddenly, the battle is interrupted by [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who defend the kids. [[Dot]] gets [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] moving, with Roy using {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} to fly away while {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}} use {{m|Brutal Swing}} to clear a path for their Trainers. [[Coral]] attempts to stop them, but is halted in her tracks by {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}. Coral turns her anger on Zirc and Onia, but [[Chalce]] states the mission comes first.

Amethio laments his grandfather not listening to him while Spinel arrives, opting to dismiss Amethio's presence. [[Friede]] and the kids reunite at the Laquium site, where Spinel greets them and they notice Amethio and Gibeon present as well. Friede observes the surroundings and notes how [[Laqua]] could collapse again if the power of the Laquium keeps on persisting. Despite wanting to stop the excavation, Spinel declares it is too late as the Explorers will have the Laquium. Angered by this, Pagogo calls out to the [[Six Heroes]], but Gibeon tells Zygarde to pay them no mind. Slamming into the Laquium cluster, the cluster glows for a moment before breaking, revealing a still alive Lucius.

Lucius addresses Gibeon, who realizes Zygarde has betrayed him once more, Liko, the Six Heroes, and Pagogo before welcoming the Rising Volt Tacklers to Laqua. Friede asks how he knows about them and Lucius reveals it was thanks to Zygarde showing him the world outside of Laqua, thereby knowing of the adventure the Rising Volt Tacklers had and the deeds the Explorers committed. Gibeon is furious at Zygarde for keeping an eye on him while feigning suppression, causing some to wonder what he means. With Pagogo's help, Lucius explains how he was asleep in Laqua since [[HZ075|the events a hundred years prior]], and was awakened by Zygarde's voice in his head. The {{pkmn|category|Order Pokémon}} had used all its Cells to monitor the ecosystems as it saw the Laquium as a threat, confirming Amethio's thoughts about it. Lucius continues explaining the origins of Laquium and the harmful effects on Pokémon before turning on Gibeon for acting once Pagogo was revived a hundred years later. He discloses Zygarde left a message for the [[Black Rayquaza]] once it left Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]], urging it to seek worthy Trainers of Pagogo and the Six Heroes, surprising Friede with the fact that their adventure was started by Zygarde and Rayquaza's wills. Lucius concludes his explanation by saying it was their own wills that led them to Laqua and even surpassing Rayquaza's expectations, making the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers joyful. Gibeon questions why did Lucius allow the seal to be undone if the Laquium was dangerous, and Lucius answers it is to destroy the Laquium.

Gibeon refuses to let the Laquium be destroyed, alluding to how it can help improve the lives of people and Pokémon, and demands to know why Lucius is intent on stopping him. Lucius remains adamant on Laquium being harmful and maintains his stance on moving on together alongside Pokémon for the future to come. Friede then asks about the end of Laqua if the Laquium is destroyed, and the Ancient Adventurer says Laqua won't end thanks to a flourishing system that was established. However, Spinel points out since Laqua won't be destroyed because of the Laquium, there should be no issues if the Explorers take it. Lucius insists the Laquium shouldn't be excavated lest it be activated. Friede theorizes external forces would trigger it and Lucius confirms the result would harm the environment and make Pokémon berserk. Spinel, after explaining the possibilities of Laquium to improve the future thanks to research at [[Exceed]], ignores Lucius's words and asks Gibeon for permission to begin the excavation. Amethio notices his grandfather's hesitation, but the latter gives permission anyway, prompting Spinel to contact the other three admins who arrive with machines. Spinel brings out {{p|Magnezone}} to power up the machines, excavating the Laquium clusters from underground to make the Core appear for unlimited production. Lucius berates their approach, saying once the Core is activated, it would be beyond anyone's control. At that moment, due to being weakened by the battle with Spinel earlier, [[Captain Pikachu]] and Charizard become infected and go berserk, knocking each other out and forcing Friede to [[recall]] them. Amethio has {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} use {{m|Psycho Cut}} on the machines in an attempt to stop them, but Coral stops the attack with her {{p|Glalie}}. Lucius reveals if this continues, it would be end of the world, but Gibeon is willing to let that happen, declaring only those strong enough to wield Laquium can live on. Seeing that Gibeon is unable to listen to reason, Lucius asks Liko to get the Six Heroes to share their power with Pagogo, allowing it to {{a|Tera Shift|transform}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}. Lucius and Gibeon clash over their differing views of Laquium, with Lucius apologizing for not doing more. Unfortunately, Gibeon says it's too late and pleads with Zygarde to fight for him. To Lucius and the Rising Volt Tacklers' shock, Zygarde gets ready to battle on Gibeon's side. Just then, Amethio and Ceruledge walk in front of Lucius, sparking outrage and surprise. Gibeon expresses disappointment at Amethio for opposing him, but the latter is only doing so to protect him. Knowing he can't face Zygarde alone, Amethio asks the kids for assistance, and they join him without hesitation. With a nod between Liko and Amethio, the four {{Tera}}stallize their respective Pokémon for the upcoming battle.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Resuming the events of the [[HZ085|previous episode]], the [[Explorers]] have confronted the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] while [[Gibeon]] heads to the [[Laquium]], eager for his wish to finally to be fulfilled. The younger members wonder why the Explorers are also at [[Laqua]] and the admins explain they were watching Laqua from the start, leading [[Liko]] to realize the building [[HZ084|she saw before]] belonged to the Explorers. They aren't able to bring down the barrier without [[Pagogo]], and therefore waited for the Rising Volt Tacklers to help Pagogo regain its powers to remove the barrier for them which horrifies [[Roy]] and [[Dot]]. [[Friede]] is not fazed by the Explorers' plan and instead is sure the kids would defend their adventure. True enough, Liko declares everything they have done as Rising Volt Tacklers was purely for their own adventure, not for the Explorers' sake, encouraging Roy and Dot. Seeing no point in further discussion, everyone begins to prepare for a {{pkmn|battle}}, with Friede and [[Spinel]]'s battle being a [[Double Battle]].

Friede starts by having [[Captain Pikachu]] use {{m|Thunder Punch}} on Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}} but it counters with {{m|Foul Play}}. {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} tries to use {{m|Air Slash}} but Spinel has {{p|Beheeyem}} use {{m|Psychic}} to send the attack to Cap, who dodges it with {{m|Double Team}}. Cap and Charizard double-team Umbreon with Thunder Punch and {{m|Dragon Claw}}, respectively. However, it uses {{m|Reflect}} and Beheeyem attacks Charizard with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Cap protects Charizard by drawing in the attack with his [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Lightning Rod}}. While Spinel muses over his mistake of triggering Cap's ability, he gets Umbreon to use {{m|Snarl}}. Although Cap attacks with {{m|Volt Tackle}} after getting through Umbreon's Snarl, Spinel reveals his true aim – to have his Beheeyem use {{m|Skill Swap}} with Cap so that it would power up when Volt Tackle landed instead. Friede realizes Spinel's intention too late and finds himself cornered as Umbreon and Beheeyem attack Charizard simultaneously. Charizard dodges both attacks from Spinel's Pokémon just as Spinel notices Umbreon being separated. Despite Cap's best attempt at a sneak attack, Beheeyem protects Umbreon from Cap's Thunder Punch.

On the other side, [[Coral]] brings out {{p|Scream Tail|Onipurin}}, surprising the kids at the realization they were followed in [[Area Zero]]. [[Sidian]] and [[Chalce]] bring out {{p|Garganacl}} and {{p|Medicham}} and Coral starts the offensive by getting Onipurin to attack with {{m|Boomburst}}. Garganacl uses {{m|Wide Guard}} and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} attempts to push it back with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} uses {{m|Magical Leaf}} to get past Garganacl's shield but while it did bring down the shield, it protects itself with {{m|Stone Edge}}. This time a controlled Magical Leaf is used, but Garganacl is able to use Stone Edge to block the attack. Medicham uses {{m|Calm Mind}} as Dot orders {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} to attack with {{m|Liquidation}}, followed by {{m|Low Kick}}. However, Medicham managed to dodge the attacks and retaliates with {{m|Stored Power}}. Onipurin and Crocalor continue to trade blows at each other, forcing Sidian to have Garganacl use Wide Guard. Floragato charges with {{m|Quick Attack}}, then uses {{m|Sucker Punch}} when the shield is down. Unfortunately, Garganacl grabs Floragato's bud and sends her to the ground, having anticipated the attack. Floragato returns to Liko's side as she dodges Garganacl's {{m|Salt Cure}}. Dot grows concerned for Liko and Roy but Chalce tells her not to get distracted. Dot gets Quaxwell to use {{m|Aqua Cutter}} to create puddles in the hopes of getting Medicham to slip, a plan that Chalce criticizes. After evading all of Quaxwell's Aqua Cutters, Medicham attacks an exhausted Quaxwell with {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Since Medicham is able to predict their moves, Dot desperately tries to come up with something unpredictable and has an idea while watching Onipurin and Crocalor. Quaxwell launches a series of {{m|Air Cutter}}s towards the [[sound-based move]]s used by Onipurin and Crocalor, causing Air Cutters to fly in random directions towards Medicham. Despite Chalce telling Medicham not to panic, the {{pkmn|category|Meditate Pokémon}} slips on a water puddle, surprising Chalce. The Practicing Pokémon seizes the opportunity and lands a hit with Aqua Cutter.

Back at the other battle, Friede gets Charizard to fly with Cap and dodge the incoming attacks. Cap jumps from Charizard while using Double Team, which Spinel dismisses until the smoke clears, revealing Cap holding Umbreon in place. At that moment, Friede {{Tera}}stallizes Charizard into a {{t|Dark}} type and has Cap use Thunder Punch on Umbreon. The {{t|Electric}} attack lures Beheeyem to protect Umbreon, allowing Charizard to land a {{m|Tera Blast}} on the group. The Cerebral Pokémon [[Fainting|faints]] as a result but Umbreon is still hanging on. Spinel is stunned to see Friede willing to sacrifice Cap to land the hit, but Cap comes out unscathed thanks to the [[Ability]] he received from Beheeyem, {{a|Telepathy}}. When Spinel demands to know how Friede knew Beheeyem's Ability, he becomes infuriated when Friede admits he only had a hunch and no proof. Spinel angrily has Umbreon attack with Snarl, but Cap gets through and attacks Umbreon with Volt Tackle, defeating the Moonlight Pokémon.

With the younger members, Liko is motivated by Dot's success and orders Floragato to use {{m|Acrobatics}} but Garganacl recovers using {{m|Recover}}. Just then, Sidian Terastallizes Garganacl into a {{t|Rock}} type and has it use Stone Edge to prevent Floragato from hiding further. As it approaches with Salt Cure, Floragato uses Sucker Punch, changing the direction of her bud at the last minute. With Garganacl down, Floragato finishes it off with a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] Magical Leaf. Roy becomes motivated and has Crocalor use {{m|Flame Charge}} against Onipurin's {{m|Play Rough}}. However Crocalor slips and runs elsewhere, which Coral laughs at. Instead of stopping, Crocalor keeps on running up the tree to fly above the battlefield, using {{m|Flamethrower}} on a tired Onipurin. Coral becomes fed up and Terastallizes Onipurin into a pure {{t|Fairy}} type. The two Pokémon exchange attacks before Onipurin is defeated by Crocalor. Chalce speculates the [[Paradox Pokémon]] did not have enough experience in battle, with Sidian also speculating the kids inspire each other. As Spinel humbly accepts his defeat and disappears while Friede checks on Cap and Charizard, Coral brings out {{p|Glalie}} to continue battling. At that moment, everyone feels the ground shaking, with a pillar of pink smoke shooting out to the sky. Pagogo comes out hostile, making Liko wary it's the Laquium at work.

'''The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!''' (Japanese: '''到着！楽園ラクア''' ''Arrival! The Paradise of Laqua'') is the 85th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,317th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on February 21, 2025.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Starting off from where the [[HZ084|last episode]] ended, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] admire the scenery at the "place where heaven and earth meet" on [[Kumuri Mountain]]. Just then, [[Pagogo]] calls out to the [[Black Rayquaza]], which descended upon the group and dissipated the clouds in the crater, revealing a land full of greenery. Afterwards, Rayquaza enters its {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} to rest and the group enters the crater.

When they enter the crater, the group finds many [[berries]] that are not only huge but also unfamiliar to them. While the Pokémon happily eat the berries, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] change out of their winter outfits, expressing surprise at the place being warm despite the altitude they're at. Friede suggests they move on further and the younger members agree. Entering a clearing, the group find a lot of Pokémon at peace regardless of their nature. A {{p|Bidoof}} approaches and Pagogo immediately gets along with it, which causes Pokémon in the area to welcome the newcomers as well. The scene before them astounds everyone as they not only see Pokémon in rare groups but also [[Legendary Pokémon]] freely roaming about. While Liko, Roy, and Dot agree [[Laqua]] lives up to its name as a paradise, Liko notices Friede seemingly bothered. He explains his suspicions behind the environment being the way it is now. Sunlight and temperature may have a part in it but Friede believes another factor is at play to bring in the Pokémon, at which Liko assumes is the [[Laquium]]. Friede says even if Laquium is involved, there are no traces of it nor the events of a hundred years prior, especially since [[Rystal]] mentioned the Laqua was on the verge of collapsing in the past. As they question their location, Pagogo calls out to the group, wanting to go further into the forest. They oblige and move in deeper.

As they walk, Dot grows tired but is still eager to progress, Liko and Roy following suit in their enthusiasm. They find another clearing, and Friede says they will stop for the day, disappointing the younger members until he points out it is sunset, surprising them. After pitching up their tents for the night, Liko, Roy, and Dot admire the stars above them and reminisce their adventure together, from the people they met to the growth of all their Pokémon. At that moment, Roy and Dot notice Liko looking down, and she reveals her worry of having to say goodbye to Pagogo now that they're at Laqua, remembering the goal was to bring Pagogo there in the first place. However, she is quickly cheered by her friends and decides to look forward to the future together with them no matter what it brings. Friede comes out of his tent to tell the kids to sleep, all while everyone is unaware of the {{p|Beheeyem}} watching them from above. The following morning, after leaving some of their stuff at the new established base camp, they walk deeper into the forest. Roy and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} enthusiastically lead until the latter bumped into a rock hill that looks off to Friede. [[Captain Pikachu]] uses {{m|Thunder Punch}} on it, revealing something hidden underneath. Using an analysis program, Friede concludes the wall contains [[Terastal energy]], and is thereby the barrier Pagogo had put up a hundred years ago. Realizing they need to get past the barrier, Friede suggests Pagogo, and Liko as its partner, try to bring down the barrier. She agrees to try and Pagogo {{a|Tera Shift|transforms}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}. Pagogo successfully removes the barrier, but overexerts itself in the process, causing Liko to recall it into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Friede tells Liko, Roy, and Dot to stay behind while he surveys the path ahead, and if anything happens, they are free to act on their own. Despite planning on returning to the younger members after discovering Laquium crystals, Friede gets accosted by [[Spinel]] while Liko, Roy, and Dot are confronted by [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
On the [[Brave Olivine]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have landed near [[Kumuri Town]] and decide to ask the townspeople for information on getting to [[Laqua]].

In Kumuri Town, [[Friede]] notices the lack of [[Laquium]] effects on the town before hearing someone mentioning the [[Black Rayquaza]]. [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and Friede move towards the source of the noise and find [[Yuha's father|a father]] attempting to calm his son, [[Yuha]], down. The group approaches the family and explains how they're looking for Rayquaza and Laqua, which not only Yuha's father is unaware of, but also causes Yuha to angrily demand the group to leave. Yuha's father apologises on his behalf before explaining how Yuha believes the stories he heard from the {{OBP|matriarch|HZ084}}. When Friede asks about the matriarch, Yuha's father reveals she is his great-grandmother who apparently saw Rayquaza about a hundred years ago. Friede sends the younger members into the town so that they don't overwhelm the matriarch while inquiring about the events of a hundred years ago.

While venturing around town, Liko, Roy, and Dot hear Yuta's voice coming from a cave and decide to investigate further. With {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s fireball helping to provide light, the trio venture deep into the cave where they were chased by many wild {{p|Vibrava}} alongside Yuha and his {{p|Noibat}}. After catching their breaths, Yuha becomes hostile again, but Liko deescalates the situation and Dot asks Yuha what happened. Yuha explains how he was looking for his Noibat when he was attacked by the group of Vibrava just as he found it. He once again blames Rayquaza but Dot stops the fight from continuing by saying they need to form a plan to escape, especially since the direction to the exit is blocked off by the Vibrava.

Meanwhile, the matriarch, with assistance from Yuha's father, reveals there was a mysterious explosion at the "place where heaven and earth meet" on [[Kumuri Mountain]], with Rayquaza seen flying away from the mountain afterwards. The explosion caused the sun to be blotted out for three days and three nights, and when light finally returned, the matriarch saw [[Gibeon|a long-haired scholar]] leaving the site and getting his injuries treated by her mother. She concludes her story by warning Friede to be careful while trekking up the mountain. Back in the cave, Liko tries to talk with the wild Vibrava but fails, so Roy and Dot bring out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}}, having them use {{m|Uproar}} and {{m|Play Rough}} respectively. However, one Vibrava counters and lands a hit on the two Pokémon, causing {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} to use {{m|Heal Pulse}}. Reinforcement arrives and Dot recalls Tinkatuff to send out {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} with {{m|Aqua Cutter}}. Crocalor and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} continue the assault with {{m|Disarming Voice}} and {{m|Magical Leaf}}, inspiring Yuha, who orders his Noibat to use {{m|Dragon Claw}} to clear a path for their escape from the cave.

Once they managed to get out, Roy compliments Noibat's Dragon Claw and Yuha elaborates how he had been training that move in the cave until Noibat went missing. Dot suggests the reason they had been attacked was because Yuha and Noibat accidentally entered the territory belonging to the Vibrava, with Noibat disappearing due to trying to get away from the Vibrava. This causes Yuha to realize it was his fault and not Rayquaza's, and apologizes to the trio for being hostile earlier before complimenting them on their battling skills and his wishes to be even more in sync with Noibat, with Liko, Roy, and Dot encouraging him. Just then, Friede contacts them with an update but [[Captain Pikachu]] senses someone watching them, missing [[Chalce]] when he turned around. Friede updates the Rising Volt Tacklers's on Gibeon being in Kumuri Town before and Laqua being at the "place where heaven and earth meet". Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede change into winter clothes and entrust the Brave Olivine to the remaining members before setting off for the "place where heaven and earth meet".

While climbing Kumuri Mountain, Liko notices a building before getting distracted by Roy and Friede, who came across a troublesome wall to climb. Before they could ponder on further action, [[Pagogo]] calls out {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} from its [[Ancient Poké Ball]], and it carries the group over the wall. They then come across a river with strong currents that make it unsafe to cross. As Friede suggests looking for a safe place to cross over, Pagogo summons {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who gives the group a ride, with {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} helping to break the rocks that could endanger the trip. Once across, the group climbed higher to the point where there is no longer any reception. Friede cautions the group to not get separated as a huge boulder rolls towards them. {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}} is summoned and pushes the boulder over the edge, allowing them to continue on safely. Continuing on, they encounter a {{p|Tyranitar}} and a {{p|Nidoking}}. {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} helps the group by using {{m|Fiery Wrath}} to sap the energies of the Pokémon in their way, making it easier to get by. As they press on, Liko wonders if the [[Six Heroes]] helped out [[Lucius]] like this before. Finally, they come across an area where they could touch the clouds, and Pagogo urges them to enter the clouds. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede do just that, arriving at a dead end and a crater full of clouds.

==Major events==

* [[Friede]] learns more about [[Gibeon]]'s past after the [[HZ075|events]] in [[Laqua]].
* [[Pagogo]] starts leading the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to Laqua with the help of the [[Six Heroes]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
At the [[Explorers]] base, [[Sidian]] is concluding his report on the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Gibeon]] orders the admins to ambush them at [[Laqua]], expressing high expectations from [[Spinel]] at the same time. Once the meeting ends, [[Coral]] and Sidian comment on [[Amethio]] being left out again, but Spinel reminds them he was taken off missions and instead says the four of them will be enough, which [[Chalce]] agrees with. However, Spinel and Chalce miss the suspicious look shown towards them by [[Hamber]]. Meanwhile at [[Exceed]], Amethio leads a disguised [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] to Spinel's lab to uncover what he's planning.

On the [[Brave Olivine]], the Rising Volt Tacklers watch [[Pagogo]] having fun with the [[Black Rayquaza]] while they head to Laqua as [[Friede]] reminds them to be cautious since the Explorers are after the [[Laquium]]. A discussion begins as to why the Laquium is also called the "Treasure of Eternity", with [[Mollie]] offering a theory relating to cell activation. She explains the concept to the confused kids before tying it back up to the topic at hand, with Friede theorizing that the effect of the Laquium on people is how Gibeon is still alive. [[Dot]] asks if there is a need for the Explorers to go to Laqua if they already have Laquium but Friede points out it could run out at some point, leading to [[Roy]] questioning if there even is any Laquium left. Because Pagogo [[HZ075|put up a barrier]] in Laqua, the effects of Laquium aren't seen around the world, therefore it is hard to surmise if any Laquium is left. However, the kids aren't deterred by the potential danger, choosing to focus more on actually reaching Laqua with everyone involved and the adults follow suit in not losing sight in their reasons for adventuring.

Back in Spinel's lab, Amethio discovers the Laquium [[HZ064|used]] on Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}} is an unfinished version, with plans involving a "[[Strong Sphere|Laquium Sphere]]". Unfortunately they were found by Exceed security guards and got locked in a warehouse. As Spinel and Chalce meet with Gibeon in person to talk about his dream being finally fulfilled, Zirc tries to force his way out of the warehouse despite Onia reminding him how everyone had their [[Poké Ball]]s confiscated. Amethio tells them to calm down and Onia suggests bringing this up to [[Cervantis]], but he dismisses the idea. Since they're brought to a warehouse away from Exceed by security guards under Spinel's influence, it is likely Cervantis does not know anything and Spinel intends to keep it that way. Just as Onia wonders about Spinel's intentions, Amethio silences her. At that moment, the shutter raises, revealing Hamber, who has come to retrieve the trio with their confiscated Poké Balls in hand. After checking on their respective Pokémon, Amethio and Hamber share their suspicions on Spinel betraying Gibeon. Amethio asks Hamber for answers about Laquium and the events of a hundred years ago, as he desires to help his grandfather and in order to do so, Amethio must know everything, including who he is and what he has to do. Sensing Amethio's drive, Hamber suggests they move to another place for further discussion.

Upon arriving at [[Amethio's mansion]], Zirc and Onia come to a stop in front of a portrait of a woman. Amethio reveals she is his late [[Amethio's mother|mother]], having passed from a car accident when he was young and that he was raised by Hamber in place of his father. Once they have settled in another room, Hamber begins to explain Gibeon's past with [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]], including his shared dream with Lucius. However, things changed between them in Laqua due to the Laquium, even more so when the [[White Zygarde]] also went against its Trainer's wishes because of Lucius's Rayquaza. When Hamber mentions Gibeon's Pokémon losing many of its [[Zygarde Cell]]s, Zirc becomes confused. Hamber elaborates on Zygarde's biology before pulling one of Zygarde's Cells, surprising the others in the room. Hamber explains the Cell took a liking to him to the point of staying with him, with Amethio commenting how it's a sign of Gibeon's trust. While Lucius went through the same fate as Laqua, Gibeon nearly lost his life, only being saved by the Laquium. From there, he discovered how Laquium could extend a person's lifespan and left Laqua with a sample of Laquium. Gibeon subsequently founded Exceed and researched Laquium for the future of Pokémon for a hundred years alone. Amethio questions Hamber's reason for joining Gibeon, which was out of gratitude and respect for guiding him when he was lost as an adventurer. Gibeon's goals also inspired Hamber to personally teach the current admins of the Explorers, except for Spinel, who was recruited personally by Gibeon. Amethio becomes determined to stop Spinel from using his grandfather to obtain the Laquium in Laqua, with {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, Zirc, and Onia following in his steps without question. Hamber reports on the Rising Volt Tacklers making their way to Laqua and [[Liko]] being Lucius and Rystal's descendant, which doesn't surprise Amethio as he had suspected it. Hamber suggests calling it a destiny transcending a hundred years but Amethio laughs at the idea, saying that while he inherited his grandfather's will, he does not intend to fight for him. As for his earlier question on his identity, Amethio determines he is himself and that is all he needs to know. Hamber tells the group he would ensure no one knows of their plans before wishing them luck on their journey to Laqua.

On the Brave Olivine, Rayquaza suddenly roars, attracting the attention of the kids. They immediately find Friede, who tells them they are arriving at [[Kumuri Town]] and not Laqua. Friede speculates Laqua is not a former name of the town as Rayquaza flies off higher into the mountains. At Roy's urging, Friede asks [[Orla]] to increase the speed to catch up to Rayquaza, but she firmly objects, saying the airship won't survive going any higher, forcing the group to venture into Kumuri Town to get to Laqua.

==Major events==

'''Beyond the Shining Rainbow''' (Japanese: '''光り出した虹の先で''' ''At the End of the Shining Rainbow'') is the 82nd episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,314th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on January 31, 2025.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Resuming from the [[HZ081|previous episode]], the [[Black Rayquaza]] descends upon the stunned group now that the five of the [[Six Heroes]] are gathered. However, since [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] used their [[Tera Orb]]s in their {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]], they are unable to use it again. Nonetheless, the younger members are motivated to battle Rayquaza again, with [[Friede]] joining them in the battle and [[Briar]] looking after [[Pagogo]].

Friede distracts Rayquaza by flying around on {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} while the kids position themselves on the terrain accordingly. Charizard leads Rayquaza to a cliff where Roy and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} were waiting with {{m|Flamethrower}} that it easily dodges. Higher up, Liko calls out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, who uses {{m|Confusion}} to manoeuvre some rocks such that {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} would be able to reach Rayquaza with {{m|Acrobatics}}, but the Sky High Pokémon also avoids Floragato. Flying even further up, Rayquaza ends up getting attacked by {{m|Liquidation}} and {{m|Slam}} from {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}}, respectively. Friede encourages the kids to keep on attacking before getting Charizard to use a series of {{m|Air Slash}}, with Floragato following up with Acrobatics and Crocalor finishing off with Flamethrower. Rayquaza remains unfazed by their strategy as it flies towards the sky to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Everyone scrambles to evade the meteors while Friede fails to lure Rayquaza again. Dot calls everyone and suggests they use the same strategy they used on Gouging Fire, using the waterfall nearby to soak Rayquaza instead of luring it like they did with the [[Paradox Pokémon]].

With {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} bringing them closer to Rayquaza, Crocalor and Charizard successfully push Rayquaza towards the waterfall just as Floragato and Quaxwell destroy the rocks to soak Rayquaza. [[Captain Pikachu]] rushes to Rayquaza and electrocutes it with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, causing it to retaliate with {{m|Dragon Tail}}. This results in not only Charizard being severely injured, but also in Cap being thrown off. Roy goes to save Cap with Kilowattrel while Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} knocks out Quaxwell and Tinkatuff. The Sky High Pokémon unleashes Draco Meteor again, with Hattrem using {{m|Brutal Swing}} to destroy some meteors before holding them in place with Confusion. Liko has Floragato use {{m|Magical Leaf}} as a smokescreen for Kilowattrel to approach Rayquaza with {{m|Spark}}, though this was a ruse for Crocalor to land on top of Rayquaza's head and use {{m|Disarming Voice}} to deal super effective damage before getting thrown off. Once again, Rayquaza uses Draco Meteor, only this time, it successfully aimed the meteors at Hattrem, Floragato, and Kilowattrel with Dragon Tail, knocking them out from the battle. Pagogo was almost hit by another aimed meteor before being saved by Cap, who uses Rising Volt Tackle and sends Rayquaza towards the sky. However, this gives the opportunity for Rayquaza to use {{m|Dragon Ascent}} to get Cap out of the battle. With most of the Pokémon unable to battle, the only one left standing is Crocalor. Roy and Crocalor try their best to continue battling as Liko also wants to continue battling Rayquaza. As if sensing Liko's thoughts, Pagogo joins the battle by transforming into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}.

Pagogo begins its first battle by Liko's side by using {{m|Ancient Power}} and Crocalor supports it with Disarming Voice, with both attacks doing supereffective damage on Rayquaza. Rayquaza then counters with Dragon Pulse, at which Pagogo uses {{m|Protect}} to shield both itself and Crocalor, however a few Draco Meteors that Crocalor and Pagogo were unable to defend against completely still manages to hit both of them. With both sides getting exhausted, Rayquaza attempts to use Dragon Ascent to finish them off while Pagogo uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} to counter. Both Pokémon were able to greatly damage each other, with Rayquaza being sent flying and stuck in a gorge and Pagogo using the last of its strength to allow Crocalor to {{Tera}}stallize, amazing everyone before transforming back into its Normal Form. With Rayquaza temporarily weakened and immobilised, Roy has Crocalor finish the battle with a boosted {{m|Flame Charge}} before finally capturing Rayquaza in the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}.

Roy is overjoyed at having caught Rayquaza, who comes out of its Poké Ball to return the last of Pagogo's power and allowing it to be at full strength again. The group is brought into another vision where [[Lucius]], [[Rystal]], and [[Gibeon]] were able to reach [[Laqua]], and Liko realizes Rayquaza wanted to be with its fellow Six Heroes and Pagogo to fulfill Lucius's promise. Roy tries to get Rayquaza into its Poké Ball but Friede reminds him it still belongs to Lucius, which leads to Roy declaring he would get Rayquaza's approval someday. At that moment, with Pagogo on its head, Rayquaza heads off somewhere. Knowing exactly where it is going, the group bids farewell to Briar, who thanks them for showing her many interesting things that would help her finish her book, and chase after Rayquaza, with [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] also leaving to report their observations. Flying alongside Rayquaza in the [[Brave Olivine]], the younger members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] belatedly update their respective families on the adventure they've had on the way to Laqua.

==Major events==

* [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] battle against the [[Black Rayquaza]].
* Liko uses [[Pagogo]] in a {{pkmn|battle}} for the first time.
* Pagogo is revealed to know {{m|Ancient Power}}.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have started to explore [[Area Zero]], with [[Briar]] as their guide. [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are amazed at the sights of Area Zero, from its stunning Tera Crystals and waterfalls to the Pokémon residing there.

Meanwhile, the [[Explorers]] admins [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] are secretly spying on the group's progress, with Coral being distracted by the crystals as she throws rocks on them to make interesting noises. Sidian tells her not to get distracted but Coral ends up make a loud noise, which causes Liko, Roy, and Dot to mistake it for a [[Paradox Pokémon]]. Roy then notices something was watching his group, and out of curiosity, he goes back to check it out. He then encounters a {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, which Roy mistakes for an unusual-looking {{p|Magneton}}. Sandy Shocks suddenly attacks Roy and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, chasing the two away from their group and run past the Explorers as well.

Sidian is confused by what he saw, but Coral decides to ride on {{p|Glalie}} and follow Roy despite Sidian's protests. Coral loses track of Roy and accidentally steps on a {{p|Scream Tail}}'s hair which causes it to scream loudly at Coral. Startled, Coral mistakes it for a {{p|Jigglypuff}}, calling it "Onipurin", and tries to make Scream Tail move out of her way. Scream Tail refuses and a shouting contest ensues between the two, much to Scream Tail's amusement and Coral's further annoyance. The commotion from Coral and Scream Tail is enough to attract a {{p|Great Tusk}} from a nearby cave. It then attacks with {{m|Throat Chop}}, sending Scream Tail tumbling, much to Coral's amusement. Scream Tail and Coral argue again before Great Tusk uses {{m|Scary Face}} on Scream Tail and Glalie. Coral prepares to fight Great Tusk with Glalie, telling Scream Tail to stand back and watch. Meanwhile, Roy has gotten tired of Sandy Shocks chasing him and orders Crocalor to use {{m|Flame Charge}}, unaware that Sandy Shocks is part {{type|Ground}}, making the attack less effective than expected. Sandy Shocks continues to chase and attack the two as the fight escalates.

Meanwhile, Coral has Glalie fight Great Tusk, with Glalie using {{m|Blizzard}} on Great Tusk to partially freeze it in place. Scream Tail, moved by Coral and Glalie's bravery, retaliates with a {{m|Boomburst}}, prompting Great Tusk to attack it with another Throat Chop, rendering it unable to use sound-based moves for a while. Glalie then uses {{m|Ice Spinner}} while Great Tusk uses {{m|Rollout}}. Both Pokémon clash violently in an even exchange, with Scream Tail watching in awe. Coral then commands Glalie to use {{m|Crunch}} on Great Tusk, while Scream Tail surprisingly follows suit with a Crunch of its own, impressing Coral and restraining Great Tusk briefly before it shakes both Pokémon off.

Coral then tries to finish the fight by ordering Glalie to {{m|Self-Destruct}}, but Glalie's attack is suddenly interrupted by Scream Tail's Boomburst, allowing Great Tusk to move Glalie closer to Coral and Scream Tail. This causes the resulting explosion to engulf everyone, sending Coral, Glalie, and Scream Tail flying off into the distance. Meanwhile, Roy finally manages to get the upper hand against Sandy Shocks, with Crocalor eventually overpowering and defeating it with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Roy is impressed by Sandy Shocks and tells it that he looks forward to battling it again. As he and Crocalor leave while singing, Sandy Shocks mimics their singing and walks away in amusement.

Meanwhile, Coral, Glalie, and Scream Tail recover from the explosion, with Coral praising Glalie for its hard work, but only giving Scream Tail a backhanded compliment. Upset at the difference in praise, Scream Tail attempts to voice its displeasure and desire to be treated the same way, but Coral does not understand its rambling, labeling it as "total nonsense", thus causing Scream Tail to throw another tantrum. Coral becomes so fed up that she tries to throw whatever is next to her to silence it, unintentionally catching Scream Tail in a {{i|Poké Ball}}, leaving both her and Glalie shocked. Roy eventually reunites with Liko and Dot who were wondering where he has been. He explains his encounter battling a strange Magneton with hair, confusing Liko and Dot.

Elsewhere, Coral manages to reunite with Sidian, showing off her newly captured Scream Tail who she officially dubs "Onipurin". Scream Tail continues to scream out loud again much to Coral's annoyance and Sidian's confusion. Scream Tail's cries are so loud, Liko, Roy, and Dot hear it from their group's campsite, with Briar explaining the cries are those of a Scream Tail before falling asleep. Coral's Scream Tail then continues to scream loudly into the night.

'''Over the Top!''' (Japanese: '''オーバー・ザ・トップ''' ''Over the {{tt|Top|La Primera}}'') is the 79th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,311th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on January 10, 2025.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The episode begins by showing [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] fighting against [[Geeta]] in a 3-on-1 {{pkmn|battle}}, with Liko explaining how this came to be.

Upon arriving in [[Paldea]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and [[Friede]] visit the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, where they are greeted by [[Rika]] and [[Penny]]. Rika asks for the reason of their visit to which the group tells her their request to see Geeta and obtain permission to enter the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. After a stare-off, Rika admits to messing around and brings them to see Geeta.

Having heard about an {{p|Entei}} sighting in the Great Crater, Liko says they believe it could be one of the [[Six Heroes]] they're looking for. [[Hassel]] asks for more details and they recount their adventure in finding the six Pokémon that once belonged to [[Lucius]] in hopes of finding [[Laqua]], only for [[HZ078|their search for Entei]] to end in failure as it was not the one they're searching for, as well as hearing from [[Briar]] about Entei likely being in [[Area Zero]]. Concluding their explanation, Liko and the others ask for permission to enter the Great Crater. However, only Friede is given permission to enter due to the presence of dangerous Pokémon called [[Paradox Pokémon]]. Despite not having much experience as {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Liko and her friends implore Geeta to allow them entry into Area Zero, especially after having promised to bring [[Pagogo]] to Laqua. Seeing their earnest determination, Geeta proposes a battle between them, whereby if the three of them win against her, they would be permitted to enter Area Zero alongside Friede. Despite being nervous, the trio accept the proposal to battle.

On the rooftop of the Pokémon League, Geeta apologizes to the trio, explaining how she does not hold back in battles before sending out her {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, these Pokémon coming from the very place they seek to enter. With the Paldea [[Elite Four]], Penny, Friede, and [[Captain Pikachu]] watching, the battle begins with Roy ordering {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} to use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, only for Geeta to order her two Glimmet to use {{m|Rock Polish}} to increase their {{stat|speed}} and dodge the attack with ease. Since it's difficult to hit either Glimmet, the trio change their target to Glimmora. However, Geeta has Glimmora use {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} to negate their attacks and blind them before having her two Glimmet use {{m|Power Gem}} to attack the trio's Pokémon. When Glimmora blinds them again with Dazzling Gleam, the trio counterattacks, with Roy getting Crocalor to use {{m|Disarming Voice}} to attack both Glimmet since the attack never misses. {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} follows up by attacking Glimmora with {{m|Liquidation}}, but ends up getting hurt by Glimmora using {{m|Spiky Shield}} to protect itself. In spite of this, {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} takes the opportunity to use {{m|Sucker Punch}} to land a hit on Glimmora. While pleased with finally dealing some damage, the trio get taken aback when Glimmora's [[signature Ability]], {{a|Toxic Debris}}, activates as a result of Floragato's attack, causing {{m|Toxic Spikes}} to scatter around the battlefield and {{status|poison}} the [[first partner Pokémon]].

On the sidelines, the Elite Four remark how despite Liko and her friends were handling the battle, everything is going as Geeta planned and that she still has the advantage. While the kids are struggling, Geeta has both Glimmet attack with {{m|Venoshock}}, dealing even more damage since the trio's Pokémon are poisoned. Liko and Dot are shocked by Geeta's battle style, but Roy encourages the group by mentioning they have never given up before despite the challenges they faced. Roy then recalls the strategy used by {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} when they [[HZ073|battled against it]] and tells Liko and Dot they should do the same to counter Glimmora's Dazzling Gleam. Quaxwell uses {{m|Water Gun}} to make Glimmora use Dazzling Gleam, allowing the trio to set their strategy in motion. Hearing the sound of the attacks from the two Glimmet, Liko has Floragato dodge both Power Gem attacks and use her vine to capture both Glimmet, leaving them open to a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] Stomping Tantrum from Crocalor. While complimenting the trio on their adaptability, Geeta tells the group not to relax just yet before having both Glimmet use {{m|Memento}} to harshly lower Crocalor and Quaxwell's attack power before [[fainting]]. While Friede, Roy, and Dot are in awe of Geeta's strategy, Liko notes how Geeta is very adaptable and willing to use whatever strategy to win before deciding to do the same. Liko tells Roy and Dot to unleash a full on assault on Glimmora, which Geeta states she cannot let them rely of brute force. While Crocalor and Quaxwell use their attacks on Glimmora, Liko surprises everyone by having Floragato use Sucker Punch on Crocalor, leaving Quaxwell to get hurt by Glimmora's Spiky Shield. She then asks Roy to order Crocalor to use Stomping Tantrum again, this time dealing plenty of damage despite having his attack stat lowered, with Roy and Dot realizing the true goal behind Floragato attacking Crocalor. As Liko realises she can't pull the same trick again, the Elite Four members are impressed with the trio's skills as trainers and notes how Geeta is about to get serious. Geeta praises Liko, Roy, and Dot's efforts before {{Tera}}stallizing her Glimmora into a pure {{t|Rock}} type, with the trio doing the same with their respective Pokémon. Seeing Floragato struggle to use {{m|Magical Leaf}}, Geeta has Glimmora use {{m|Tera Blast}} on her. Crocalor and Quaxwell attempt to protect Floragato by using {{m|Flamethrower}} and Water Gun to push back the attack, but get knocked out instead. Floragato gets hit by Tera Blast as well but manages to survive, with her {{a|Overgrow}} [[Ability]] activating as a result. With this being their last chance to beat Geeta, Liko has Floragato use a powerful Magical Leaf flurry. Glimmora tries to counter with Tera Blast but is eventually overwhelmed by the boosted attack, causing the {{pkmn|category|Ore Pokémon}} to faint. This results in victory for Liko, Roy, and Dot, much to their shock.

Admitting her defeat, Geeta compliments the trio on their skills and allows them to enter Area Zero, with the Elite Four congratulating them as well. Afterwards, Penny brings Liko's group to the [[Zero Gate]] and gives them access into Area Zero, seeing the group off at the same time.

Meanwhile, in a helicopter, [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] are sent by [[Hamber]] to strictly spy on the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in Area Zero since the [[Brave Olivine]] was spotted nearby. Coral is frustrated about not being able to fight but Hamber is able to get her to cooperate, complimenting Coral on her bold power of adaptability and Sidian on his composed power of judgment, and how their respective strengths together would be vital to the success of their mission. Once above the Great Crater, the two fly down using {{p|Glalie}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}, beginning their mission.

==Blurb==

Now that Dot has passed her Tera Training usage test, it’s time for Roy’s challenge in Montenevera. To get there, Liko, Roy, and Dot must cross Glaseado Mountain amid heavy snowfall. Roy gets his first experience with snow, and he and Fuecoco have fun playing together and encountering wild Pokémon. Eventually, the group decides to stay overnight in a cabin, and the three Trainers split up to find firewood. Then, Roy and Fuecoco become separated: they must find each other before night falls and temperatures drop. Will they reunite in time?

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are buying themselves [[List of clothing (anime)|winter clothes]] in preparation for heading to [[Glaseado Mountain]], where Roy's next [[Tera Training]] test awaits at the town of [[Montenevera]]. While Liko chooses her clothes no problem, Dot is feeling so uncomfortable about the mere idea of cold that she's chosen to wear a thick coat that, in Liko's opinion, makes her look like Nidothing, while Roy, having never actually experienced snow before, thinks he'll be fine with just a pair of gloves. Eventually, though, everyone settles on a winter outfit and heads off to Glaseado Mountain.

The group eventually arrives at the snowy mountain after passing through a tunnel to get there. While Roy and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} are ecstatic to play in the snow, Liko notices {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} feeling uncomfortable in the cold environment. However, instead of letting herself be [[recall]]ed, she leads Liko to a [[Berry]] bush, where she sees a {{p|Bergmite}} snacking on some Berries. Checking Bergmite's [[Pokédex]] entry on her [[Rotom Phone]], she learns that it tends to get into fights with {{p|Frigibax}} when the two encounter each other, with Liko checking out its entry too for good measure. Several other [[wild Pokémon]] and Fuecoco join in on eating the Berries, but when some snow falls on top of Fuecoco, Bergmite mistakes him for a Frigibax and gets angry, not helped by an actual Frigibax showing up right after. All the other wild Pokémon flee in fear as the two {{t|Ice}} types start fighting, blasting each other with cold air that creates a vicious blizzard around them. Liko recalls Floragato to protect her from the cold wind, while Fuecoco's {{m|Flamethrower}} isn't enough to stop the blizzard, and the two fighting Pokémon are not distracted by {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}'s attempt to stop them with his dancing. The fight is stopped, however, when [[Liko's Hattrem]] emerges from her {{i|Poké Ball}} due to the strong emotions present and pummels the two Ice types into submission with {{m|Brutal Swing}}, before proceeding to heal them with {{m|Heal Pulse}}, at which point, the two wild Pokémon simply walk away from each other and leave.

The group comes across a frozen pond and decide to have fun by skating on it, though Dot does so very reluctantly. They then proceed to have other sorts of fun winter activities, such as making snow angels, baking marshmallows, and building a snowman resembling [[Captain Pikachu]], which Roy takes a [[Photography|picture]] of with his phone. While they resume walking, Fuecoco notices something a leads Roy to a {{p|Cubchoo}}. As he's busy checking its Pokédex entry, a {{p|Beartic}} walks up to him, looking angry. Roy nervously backs off, but ends up knocking Cubchoo over while doing so, causing it to start crying and Beartic to get furious. Fortunately for Roy, Liko and Dot arrive to help and blind Beartic with their Pokémon's [[Move|attacks]] long enough for them to make a run for it. Spotting a mountain cabin nearby, they decide to take shelter there. Once inside, they eat to warm themselves up, while Roy checks some of the photos he's taken, including ones taken in other places they've visited. Checking their map, they see that Montenevera is still quite a long distance away, so they decide to stay in the cabin overnight and set out the next morning, though they'll need to gather firewood to keep themselves warm through the night. As such, they choose to split up to collect some firewood on their own, telling each other to get back before dark and to steer clear of Beartic's territory.

Roy starts gathering some sticks to be used as firewood in the woods. Seeing {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} being thanked for bringing in some firewood, Fuecoco also decides to help. Eventually, Roy has gathered enough firewood to bring back, but Fuecoco is nowhere in sight. Snow starts to fall as Roy and Kilowattrel spread out to search for Fuecoco. Fuecoco, meanwhile, is trying to bring in more firewood, but ends up tripping and dropping his sticks into a trench. He tries to retrieve them, but ends up falling down as well. During his search, Roy only finds Frigibax, who has become covered in a layer of snow that makes him briefly mistake it for Fuecoco, as well the snowman they made earlier, making him realize he's been going in circles. Fuecoco hears Roy calling out to him and heads towards him, but just as the two arrive within eyesight from each other, a pile of snow falls on top of Fuecoco and hides him from Roy just long enough for him to run away when he hears Beartic roaring in the distance. Meanwhile, Liko and Dot have both returned to the cabin with their share of the firewood and wonder where Roy could be.
[[File:Roy and Fuecoco.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and Fuecoco finding each other again]]
Outside, night has fallen over the forest. Both Roy and Fuecoco start feeling sad from being separated from each other, but manage to motivate themselves to keep going by singing their song. Soon enough, the sound of Roy's singing leads Fuecoco to him, and the two of them share an emotional reunion, all thanks to their song. As they head back to the cabin, Roy and Fuecoco spot Frigibax and Cubchoo eating Berries from a bush. Cubchoo's presence makes Roy realize that Beartic must also be nearby, indeed spotting it a short distance away only seconds later. However, before he can convince Fuecoco to leave the Berries behind, he sees Bergmite approaching. Wanting to avoid another fight, Roy hastily disguises Frigibax to look like Fuecoco using a red scarf. At first, this works, but then some snow falls on Fuecoco again, making him look like a Frigibax once more. Before a fight can break out, however, Fuecoco sneezes, making the snow covering him look more like a Cubchoo, making Bergmite calm down. After enjoying some Berries with his new friends, Roy and his Pokémon finally return to the cabin. He starts telling his friends what happened, only for Dot to ask what happened to the firewood he was supposed to bring. Roy feels awkward having forgotten all about the firewood, but is sure cuddling up with Fuecoco will enough to provide warmth. After sleeping through the night in the cabin, the trio resumes their journey towards Montenevera, Roy and Fuecoco now feeling better about their chances to pass their test than ever.

==Plot==
In order to meet [[Briar]] at the [[Crystal Pool]], [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] head up the [[Infernal Pass]] to reach their destination, while the rest of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] stay behind at [[Mossui Town]] to do some cultural exchange with the locals. Soon, they're startled when a bunch of metallic tubs suddenly fall down behind them. The culprit, a {{p|Bombirdier}}, openly laughs at them from the sky above while Liko checks its info on her [[Rotom Phone]] and Friede explains that Bombirdier loves startling people and Pokémon. Dot's {{p|Tinkatink}} tries hammering one of the tubs, but ends up dropping her hammer, making her cry until Dot picks it up for her, with Bombirdier observing them from nearby.

The group continues their climb, but ends up stopping to observe some [[wild Pokémon]]. Simultaneously, Tinkatink finds some pieces of scrap iron and starts hammering one of them. Liko notices that Tinkatink's hammer seems to be longer than before. Dot confirms this, also noting that when Tinkatink focuses on working on her hammer, she doesn't seem to pay attention to anything else, which Liko and Roy see as similar to how hard Dot focuses when creating web content. The group decides to take a break from climbing to let Tinkatink continue her work. Bombirdier, watching from a cliff, tries to startle Tinkatink by dropping some water balloons around her, but she's so focused on her work that she doesn't notice them at all, much to Bombirdier's irritation. As such, it instead drops down a set of chattering teeth, which startles and distracts Tinkatink long enough for Bombirdier to snatch the metal plate she had been working on and start flying away with it. Dot gives chase and has {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} retrieve the plate from Bombirdier's claws and return it to Tinkatink. However, Bombirdier quickly returns, this time dropping down a {{p|Pineco}}, which promptly {{m|Self-Destruct}}s and creates a cloud of smoke, allowing the {{pkmn|category|Item Drop Pokémon}} to snatch the scrap iron plate again. Tinkatink, noticing this, desperately follows, and by the time the smoke cloud clears, no one knows where Tinkatink has gone, so the group decides to split up to search for her.

Having lost sight of Bombirdier, Tinkatink keeps asking help from various wild Pokémon she comes across, but none of them is able to help her. Eventually, however, both Tinkatink and Dot hear a clanging noise and follow it. Tinkatink reaches the source of the sound first, finding Bombirdier using her iron plate to startle a {{p|Magcargo}}. Bombirdier flies away with the plate, so Tinkatink gives chase, eventually winding up at Bombirdier's stash of stolen metallic items. While Bombirdier goes off to drink nearby, Tinkatink climbs into the stash to find her iron plate, just as Dot arrives at the site as well. Bombirdier notices Tinkatink going through its belongings, but Quaxwell manages to distract it with {{m|Water Gun}} long enough for Tinkatink to find her plate and resume working on it. In retaliation, Bombirdier drops a metallic tub on Quaxwell. When it tries to do the same again, Quaxwell uses Water Gun to send the tub right back back at Bombirdier. Starting to get angry, Bombirdier promptly {{Tera}}stalllizes into a pure {{t|Dark}} type. Dot is shocked that wild Pokémon are able to Terastallize, but quickly recovers and decides to respond in kind. However, before she can Terastallize Quaxwell, she's suddenly attacked by another Bombirdier, causing her to drop and lose her [[Tera Orb]]. While she desperately looks around for it, she simultaneously has Quaxwell fight against the two Bombirdier, determined to not allow Tinkatink's work to be interrupted.
[[File:Dot Quaxwell and Tinkatuff.png|thumb|250px|left|Tinkatuff showing her new hammer to Dot and Quaxwell]]
Tinkatink finally finishes adding the iron plate to her hammer. Seeing Quaxwell struggling, she wants to go help, but her upgraded hammer proves too heavy for her to lift. While Quaxwell continues to get pummeled by the two Bombirdier, Tinkatink desperately drags her hammer along, until she finally falls off the cliff she was on, dragged down by her hammer. Seeing her, the Terastallized Bombirdier switches targets, but at that moment, Tinkatink musters her strength to actually lift her hammer and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}} as a result. Now wielding her hammer with ease, Tinkatuff joins Quaxwell in the battle; while Quaxwell blocks incoming attacks, Tinkatuff first defeats one Bombirdier with {{m|Brutal Swing}}, before pounding the Terastallized one down with a new [[move]]; {{m|Play Rough}}. Both Bombirdier flee in defeat and Dot takes a moment to congratulate her newly evolved Pokémon, before spotting her lost Tera Orb nearby and retrieving it. Turning back to Tinkatuff, Dot sheds tears of happiness at seeing her hard work finally finished. Once the group has reunited, Liko takes the chance to view Tinkatuff's [[Pokédex entry]], while Friede expresses his surprise at the information that wild Pokémon can Terastallize even outside of [[Paldea]]. Tinkatuff, still in high spirits, starts hammering a hexagonal {{wp|Nut (hardware)|nut}}, showing that she still wants to increase her hammer's size even further, much to Dot's delight.

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have arrived in the land of [[Kitakami]] to find and meet up with [[Briar]], a {{p|Terapagos}} researcher. After landing the [[Brave Olivine]], they take a [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world|bus]] through [[Kitakami Road]] to [[Mossui Town]], planning to ask around if anyone knows where Briar is. However, as soon as they arrive, they find the entire town almost completely deserted. A shopkeeper informs them that the townspeople are off enjoying the annual [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decide to head there as well to both have fun and ask around.

After changing into festival clothes, the Rising Volt Tacklers arrive at [[Kitakami Hall]], where the festival is well underway. [[Friede]]'s attention soon focuses on a {{p|Sinistcha}}, which he wishes to take a closer look at, but its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Carmine]], doesn't trust outsiders, and challenges Friede to a game at a carnival stall before he can take a look at Sinistcha. Friede happily accepts and runs off with Carmine, though the others figure out that he's just happy to enjoy the festival. The rest of them resolve to do the same, but while looking for something tasty to eat, [[Roy]] and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} catch the scent of something good and follow it to a spot away from the main festival area. However, instead of anything edible, they find a lone, small stand with a small device sitting on it. The man housing the stand admits that he doesn't know what the machine is used for, as someone else had lost it and he had simply found it. He lets Roy try it out, and when Roy and Crocalor press the machine's two buttons simultaneously, the device activates and briefly covers the two of them in a bright light. After the glow fades, Roy and Crocalor soon discover, much to their mutual shock, that they've switched bodies. The man, dreading the mere idea of someone finding out he posssess a machine like this, makes Roy swear to not tell anyone about this. Roy gives his word and tries to reverse the process, but the machine won't start. Crocalor then proceeds to run off in Roy's body and Roy gives chase, though he quickly finds out that he has an easier time running on all fours than on two feet, giving him a fascinating new perspective on how Crocalor sees the world.
[[File:Friede and Carmine HZ069.png|thumb|left|250px|Carmine challenging Friede to a battle]]
Roy soon finds Crocalor interacting with [[Liko]] and [[Dot]], and ends up {{pkmn2|talking}} to them, forcing him to reveal the truth. The trio agrees on trying to keep a low profile and finding their way back to the man Roy had met. However, before they can do so, they're approached by [[Murdock]], who offers to treat them to anything they like. In excitement, the group agrees, only narrowly managing to cover up the fact that "Crocalor" just spoke. While wanting to get the situation fixed, the group also wants to enjoy the festival, so they accept Murdock's offer, and he leads them to [[Candy Fruit Stand|a stand selling candy apples]]. When Roy tries to take one, he ends up accidentally spewing fire on it. Murdock, though, sees the combination of caramelized candy and a gently baked apple as a new kind of delicious baked treat. The candy apple seller, liking the result as well, asks if they could make more of them, but the children, wanting to lessen the risk of being found out, politely refuse and then excuse themselves. Meanwhile, Carmine, having lost to Friede in two different carnival games by now, is getting increasingly frustrated and challenges Friede to a [[Pokémon battle]], which he is happy to accept.

The group ends up running into [[Mollie]], who, while treating a girl's scraped feet, had ended up getting a whole line of children before her, all asking for her help with similar issues. The group decides to help her out, narrowly avoiding yet another instance of "Crocalor" speaking rising suspicion. Mollie treats the first girl's scraped feet with band-aids, and the girl thanks the group for the help, not noticing anything odd about "Roy's" behavior. Meanwhile, with Friede and Carmine's battle, Sinistcha uses {{m|Matcha Gotcha}} on [[Captain Pikachu]], landing a hit and restoring some of its health. Cap, though, is far from done and tosses his hat aside as a sign of getting serious. He dodges a second Matcha Gotcha and lands a hit with a {{m|Thunder Punch}}, defeating Sinistcha and dealing yet another shocking loss to Carmine.

Continuing on their way to find the man whom Roy had met, that group spots [[Orla]] trying to fix a broken stove at a stand. Once again, they can't help but get involved. Orla finds herself unable to get the stove to heat up properly, making the fried noodle stand owner sad at the idea of having to close for the day. Roy, though, gets an idea, and his friends ask if they could use "Crocalor's" fire to heat up the stove instead, based on their earlier experience at the candy apple stand. Roy gets into position under the stove, only for a moment of silence to occur when nothing happens. After a few seconds, however, he shoots out a more powerful flame than intended, sending him flying and requiring Crocalor to catch him. Roy explains to Liko that he lost control after trying to produce a smaller flame. Crocalor's cheering encourages Roy to give it another go, and they sing their song together to boost his motivation even further, allowing him to produce a proper flame and letting the fried noodler seller to continue his work. Dot notes that Roy and Crocalor make a great team, even in swapped bodies. Once the line before the stand has been cleared up, Orla leaves with her own portion of fried noodles. One boy, upon leaving with the stand with his mother, says that he wants his {{pkmn2|first partner}} to be a {{p|Crocalor}} once he becomes a Trainer, making Roy and Crocalor feel happy.

At that moment, the man from earlier finds Roy and tells him that he's managed to get the machine to work again. Roy and Crocalor return to the man's remote stand and use the device again, successfully restoring themselves to their original bodies. Liko and Dot reveal themselves from a nearby bush and request to try out the machine as well. After some hesitation, the man agrees, but when Liko and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} press the buttons together, nothing happens. When the man examines the machine, it suddenly breaks down, much to his horror. Examining the broken machine, Dot notices the text "[[Synchro Machine]]" written on the back of the device, which the man mistakes as the name of its owner and starts frantically apologizing to them.

At Mossui Town after sunset, the Rising Volt Tacklers reunite after enjoying the eventful festival. Carmine shows up again and demands for another game with Friede, but he says he has to focus on finding Briar now. To everyone's surprise, Carmine reveals that Briar is actually her teacher. She tells them that Briar is at the [[Crystal Pool]], which cannot be visited without permission. Unexpectedly, the [[caretaker]] of the local {{DL|Mossui Town|Community Center}} approaches them and grants the Rising Volt Tacklers the permission as thanks for helping out his daughter, [[Shizune]], who turns out to be the same girl whom Mollie helped out earlier. While Carmine continues to fume in frustration, the Rising Volt Tacklers prepare to head for the Crystal Pool.

==Plot==
Outside [[Naranja Academy]], [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are talking with [[Raifort]]. The history teacher tells the children about the land of [[Kitakami]] and suggests they should visit it to meet a teacher named [[Briar]], who's a researcher studying everything about {{p|Terapagos}}. No sooner has the conversation ended when the [[Brave Olivine]], now fully repaired, arrives at the school to pick the children up. The group reunites with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] aboard the airship, and they set sail towards new adventures aboard their upgraded vessel.
[[File:Liko team HZ068.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her Pokémon waking up on the Brave Olivine]]
The next morning, Liko wakes up in her room and meets up with Roy and Dot atop the airship, where they see a {{p|Dragonite}} flying by. Interested to see what sort of upgrades the ship has received, despite still looking the same as before from the outside, the three of them decide to take a tour around the ship. Their first stop is the bridge, where they soon spot a big red button on the control panel, but [[Friede]] forbids them to press is, as it is something to only be used in an emergency. This makes Roy even more tempted to see what it does, but he manages to resist the temptation. They next stop by at the engine room, where [[Orla]] excitedly shows off some minor upgrades; the infirmary, where [[Mollie]] points out some upgrades her workspace has received as well; and the kitchen, which has experienced a big style change. {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} spots what he thinks are three pieces of sushi and tries to eat one, only for all of them to attack back and reveal themselves as a trio of {{p|Tatsugiri}}, which Roy scans with his [[Rotom Phone]]. Liko asks [[Murdock]] if they belong to him, but he says that the truth is more complicated than that. Before he can get into the details, however, the three Tatsugiri end up escaping the room, leaving the children and their Pokémon to follow after them around the airship. Finally, they stop to rest at the wing deck, declaring their tour a success. Friede approaches them with a briefcase containing [[Lucius]]'s belt, which he's now returning to Liko's care. {{an|Terapagos}} starts excitedly calling out at the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s attached to the belt. In response, {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}, and {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} all emerge from their respective balls and look at the children in a way that they interpret as a {{pkmn|battle}} challenge. While intimidated at the idea of battling against some of the [[Six Heroes]], their partner Pokémon's excitement wins them over, and they accept.

The Brave Olivine stops at a small rocky island in the middle of the ocean to allow the battle to occur. Liko and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} face Arboliva on the wing deck, Roy and Crocalor face Moltres on the island, and Dot and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} face Lapras near the shoreline. Floragato begins the confrontation by using {{m|Quick Attack}} to dodge Arboliva's blasts of oil before using {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Arboliva counters with the same move. Roy, meanwhile, gets Crocalor pumped up against the tough opponent and has him counter Moltres's {{m|Fiery Wrath}} with his own anger by using {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, successfully avoiding getting fatigued by the [[move]] before countering an {{m|Air Slash}} with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Dot, at her end, has Quaxwell dodge Lapras's {{m|Ice Beam}}s with his graceful steps. Liko uses the cloud of leaves created by the Magical Leaf clash to have Floragato wrap her vine around Arboliva's arm and strike the {{pkmn|category|Olive Pokémon}} with a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] display of {{m|Acrobatics}}. The hit triggers Arboliva's {{a|Seed Sower}} [[Ability]] and covers the field in a {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, which Liko takes as Arboliva telling her to hit harder. At the same time, Crocalor is being sent flying by Moltres's {{m|Hurricane}}, but Roy manages to use this to his advantage by having Crocalor rise above Moltres and unleashing a supereffective {{m|Disarming Voice}} at the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. At the shoreline, Dot uses the field of ice created by Lapras to have Quaxwell quickly get closer to his opponent by skating on the ice and hitting Lapras with a supereffective {{m|Low Kick}}.
[[File:Dot team HZ068.png|thumb|250px|Dot as Nidothing showing off her newly evolved Pokémon]]
Liko, Roy, and Dot decide to press forward by using their [[Tera Orb]]s, {{Tera}}stallizing their respective partners and attacking with Magical Leaf, {{m|Flame Charge}}, and {{m|Liquidation}}. While the boosted moves make contact, their opponents are hardly fazed by them, showing how strong Lucius's Pokémon are. While Liko, Roy, and Dot are determined to keep going, Terapagos suddenly calls out to everyone, signaling an end to the battle and making the hero Pokémon return to their respective Ancient Poké Balls. As the Brave Olivine resumes its journey, the three children thank both the hero Pokémon and their partners for a good battle. Friede also compliments the three young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, noting that they too have evolved, in addition to their partners. With this test of strength now completed, Friede declares that they'll now head to the land of Kitakami to find out more about Terapagos and continue their search for the rest of the Six Heroes. Terapagos is happy to hear this, but then seems to sense something and silently gazes in the direction they're heading at.

At the [[Explorers]] base, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] meet up with [[Amethio]]. Despite Amethio having been dismissed from every mission now, his subordinates insist on staying by his side as his comrades. Feeling grateful, Amethio gladly accepts their loyalty and lets them continue following him. Later, Friede gazes out the bridge's window, happy to see that the upgraded Brave Olivine has managed to reach Kitakami in one flight. Meanwhile, a [[Photography|photographer]] named [[Perrin]] is looking for Pokémon to take pictures of, when {{TP|Lucius|a dark shadow|Kleavor}} suddenly moves past her camera's field of vision, surprising her.

==Major events==

</gallery>
* An alternate logo that calls this [[season]] "The ''Animated'' Series" is used in the {{DL|Pokémon in the United Kingdom|POP Player}} app.
* On Netflix, an epilepsy disclaimer at the beginning of each episode is shown after the TV rating text, following its use on ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''. In Japan, the disclaimer has been broadcast at the beginning of each episode since [[EP038]].
* This is the first season:
** to exclude the "To Be Continued..." text usually seen at the end of an episode. The first five episodes on [[Pokémon TV]] retain the text, however.
** to have the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment inline with the Japanese version, with the type names removed.
** to premiere on a streaming platform rather than on a television network in {{pmin|the United States}}.
** to be dubbed by [[Iyuno]] (then known as Iyuno Media Group).
** since [[S13|Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors]] to have different [[title card]] music in the English dub.
* This is the first season to be dubbed into:
** [[Pokémon in Croatia|Croatian]], since [[S14]] in 2012;
** [[Pokémon in Hungary|Hungarian]], since [[S12]] in 2011;
** [[Pokémon in the Arab World|Arabic]], since [[S07]] in 2005.

Complete Collection

2025-05-28T09:28:50Z

NoName623:

'''Complete Collections''' are a type of {{pkmn|animated series}} home video package released by [[VIZ Media]] for {{wp|DVD region code|DVD Region 1}}. They include all episodes from the corresponding [[season]], with the exception of [[Banned episodes|episodes that have been removed from rotation]].

Complete Collection DVDs have been released for seasons [[S01|1]] to [[S25|25]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}. Season 21 is the only Complete Collection to also be released on Blu-ray; while season 1 (under the standard season definition) was released on Blu-ray, that release is not considered a Complete Collection.

The {{aniseries|SM|''Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon''}} Complete Collections (with the exception of [[S22|''Sun & Moon – Ultra Legends'']]) are not described as Complete Collections on the cases themselves, but are on VIZ Media's website. The {{aniseries|DP}} and {{aniseries|BW|''Black & White''}} Complete Collections are described on the cover as "The Complete Season", but otherwise have the same design as other Complete Collections. Despite these naming differences, both of those groups are considered to be part of the series on VIZ Media's website.

In Region 1 releases, the episodes are ordered and separated according to VIZ Media season (which correspond to [[List of English opening themes|opening themes]]), rather than by standard [[season]]s (in the same way as on [[Pokémon.com]]).

Complete Collection

NoName623: /* List of Complete Collections */

'''Complete Collections''' are a type of {{pkmn|animated series}} home video package released by [[VIZ Media]] for {{wp|DVD region code|DVD Region 1}}. They include all episodes from the corresponding [[season]], with the exception of [[Banned episodes|episodes that have been removed from rotation]].

Complete Collection DVDs have been released for seasons [[S01|1]] to [[S22|22]] and seasons [[S24|24]] to [[S25|25]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}. Season 21 is the only Complete Collection to also be released on Blu-ray; while season 1 (under the standard season definition) was released on Blu-ray, that release is not considered a Complete Collection.

The {{aniseries|SM|''Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon''}} Complete Collections (with the exception of [[S22|''Sun & Moon – Ultra Legends'']]) are not described as Complete Collections on the cases themselves, but are on VIZ Media's website. The {{aniseries|DP}} and {{aniseries|BW|''Black & White''}} Complete Collections are described on the cover as "The Complete Season", but otherwise have the same design as other Complete Collections. Despite these naming differences, both of those groups are considered to be part of the series on VIZ Media's website.

In Region 1 releases, the episodes are ordered and separated according to VIZ Media season (which correspond to [[List of English opening themes|opening themes]]), rather than by standard [[season]]s (in the same way as on [[Pokémon.com]]).

Hello, I wanted to thank you for your recent edits of adding the English dub airdates to episode pages. I would also like to requst you to add [[:Category:Episodes which aired in the United Kingdom before the United States]] to such pages. As the dub is produced in the US and historically has always been released in the US first, we generally like to keep a record of when the UK, Australia, Canada, or other territories release the dub before the US.

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are on their way to meet [[Wy-Yes]], a former member of the team who left them before [[Dot]] joined the crew, in the hopes that he could have information that'd help them track down {{p|Entei}} of the [[Six Heroes]]. Unlike the others, though, [[Mollie]] seems very irritated at the thought of meeting him and unwilling to believe anything he'll have to say. The [[Brave Olivine]] eventually lands at the agreed meeting spot at a savanna. While waiting for Wy-Yes to arrive, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and Dot venture out to see if they can find any Pokémon. At first, they fail to find anything, but soon after discovering an {{wp|oasis}} with barely any water left in it, they are suddenly charged at and attacked by a Pokémon that Roy's [[Rotom Phone]] identifies as a {{p|Farigiraf}}. By working together, they are able to fight it off, but before they can start wondering why it was so angry, they're approached by a man accompanied by a {{p|Wynaut}}. He starts claiming that they must the rumored secret society that goes around fighting Pokémon, declaring he's got himself a scoop. The group is confused by the sudden claims, but at that moment, [[Friede]] shows up, introducing the man as the friend of his whom they were looking for: Wy-Yes. When brought to the Brave Olivine, Wy-Yes is happy to see his old friends again, though none more so that Mollie. He implies that Mollie used to look different, but before he can go into more detail for the children, an enraged Mollie threatens to send him flying if he says more. While Mollie continues to fume, Wy-Yes turns to Friede regarding the thing he wanted to talk with him about. However, before Friede can even start his question, Wy-Yes interrupts him, assuming he wants to talk about what he's been up to since he left, and takes Friede with him to continue the conversation elsewhere.

Back inside the ship, Dot shows Liko and Roy a copy of the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, having actually recognized Wy-Yes's name from it as a journalist who's written some of the articles on it, including one about [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Unexpectedly, Wy-Yes himself shows up. Upon seeing them reading his article, he assumes they are fans of his, which Dot admits to, though she gets nervous when he suggests the idea of writing an article about them. Roy attempts to ask him about Entei, but he once again interrupts the intended question and assumes they want to know about the history of the Rising Volt Tacklers. While not what they wanted to know, their curiosity gets the better of them, and they agree to hear him out. Wy-Yes proceeds to tell them various tall tales, such as [[Murdock]] having once developed a highly popular dessert (which he reveals to have only been popular for a short time and within the airship only), [[Orla]] having built a supersonic aircraft that circumnavigated the globe (which she says is untrue, as they'd be flying in it if it did exist), and [[Ludlow]] secretly being a superhero with a body of steel (which the children themselves immediately conclude must be false). Reuniting at the wing deck, Wy-Yes plans to conclude his tales by telling the children about Mollie. Despite the nurse herself showing up to object to this, Wy-Yes shows the children a [[Photography|photo]] of himself with a younger Mollie, who used to have a completely different hairstyle and, according to him, clung to him all the time and was very demure. Her anger reaching a boiling point, Mollie has her {{TP|Mollie|Chansey}} launch the journalist and his Wynaut into the distance, before leaving in a huff.

Wy-Yes soon lands near the oasis and right next to Friede, who's trying to find out the reason behind why a Farigiraf had attacked Liko and the others earlier. The children catch up with them, but Liko's attempt to ask him about Entei gets predictably interrupted, this time by Wy-Yes shushing her and claiming that he can hear multiple Farigiraf headed their way. Moments later, the children are surprised to notice that he's actually right this time, as a trio of enraged {{pkmn|category|Long Neck Pokémon}} charges at them. However, the Pokémon trio's attention is quickly refocused on an incoming {{p|Espathra}}, and they start attacking it, making Dot realize that the oasis must be their territory, explaining why one of them had attacked the group before. Espathra responds to the Farigiraf trio's {{m|Psybeam}}s with {{m|Psychic}}; as a result of the clash of {{type|Psychic}} [[move]]s, a large field of enigmatic energy surrounds the area around the oasis. As the clash continues, the energy causes a part of the rockface above them to break apart and fall, but Mollie, having been altered by the airship's {{p|Noctowl}}, arrives to help and has Chansey smash the falling boulder apart with {{m|Tackle}}. Dot, spotting bubbles rising from the oasis, asks Roy to break the rock resting in the middle of the pond, which he does with {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. As a result, water starts gushing into the oasis, filling it up to its proper height once more. Friede theorizes that a landslide or alike could've been the cause behind water not flowing properly. With water aplenty now, the Farigiraf and Espathra stop their clash and go to drink together, their turf war now resolved.

Back at the airship, Wy-Yes thanks everyone for providing him with plenty of material for Occulture. Liko and her friends address him and finally manage to ask him if he knows anything about Entei. He responds that he's heard of an Entei sighting being made in [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. Him only now realizing what the group had wanted to ask him about all along leaves the children in an exasperated state. Later, as the Brave Olivine sets course for Johto, Liko asks Mollie if they can believe this information being correct, but Mollie assures her that it is true, based on Wynaut's reaction: the Bright Pokémon has been with Wy-Yes for so long that it knows whether he's speaking the truth or not, reacting in a questioning way to any untrue statements and eagerly towards any true facts, such as the info about Entei. Liko recalls that Wynaut had also reacted the same way to what Wy-Yes had said about Mollie's past, leaving the nurse blushing in embarrassment. She admits that she used to be naive when she was younger, falling for many of Sohday's untrue claims, though she does recognize that she's not sure if he was teasing her or genuinely trying to teach her.

Later, Dot shows Liko and Roy the newest online issue of Occulture, which features an article about what happened at the savanna, even including nameless mentions of them as children who helped to deal with the phenomenon caused by the clash between Farigiraf and Espathra. Liko and Roy feel happy for Dot to get mentioned in the magazine she loves, though she feels a bit flustered about being brought up in the article.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are on their way to meet [[Wy-Yes]], a former member of the team who left them before [[Dot]] joined the crew, in the hopes that he could have information that'd help them track down {{p|Entei}} of the [[Six Heroes]]. Unlike the others, though, [[Mollie]] seems very irritated at the thought of meeting him and unwilling to believe anything he'll have to say. The [[Brave Olivine]] eventually lands at the agreed meeting spot at a savanna. While waiting for Wy-Yes to arrive, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and Dot venture out to see if they can find any Pokémon. At first, they fail to find anything, but soon after discovering an {{wp|oasis}} with barely any water left in it, they are suddenly charged at and attacked by a Pokémon that Roy's [[Rotom Phone]] identifies as a {{p|Farigiraf}}. By working together, they are able to fight it off, but before they can start wondering why it was so angry, they're approached by a man accompanied by a {{p|Wynaut}}. He starts claiming that they must the rumored secret society that goes around fighting Pokémon, declaring he's got himself a scoop. The group is confused by the sudden claims, but at that moment, [[Friede]] shows up, introducing the man as the friend of his whom they were looking for: Wy-Yes. When brought to the Brave Olivine, Wy-Yes is happy to see his old friends again, though none more so that Mollie. He implies that Mollie used to look different, but before he can go into more detail for the children, an enraged Mollie threatens to send him flying if he says more. While Mollie continues to fume, Wy-Yes turns to Friede regarding the thing he wanted to talk with him about. However, before Friede can even start his question, Wy-Yes interrupts him, assuming he wants to talk about what he's been up to since he left, and takes Friede with him to continue the conversation elsewhere.

Back inside the ship, Dot shows Liko and Roy a copy of the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, having actually recognized Wy-Yes's name from it as a journalist who's written some of the articles on it, including one about [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Unexpectedly, Wy-Yes himself shows up. Upon seeing them reading his article, he assumes they are fans of his, which Dot admits to, though she gets nervous when he suggests the idea of writing an article about them. Roy attempts to ask him about Entei, but he once again interrupts the intended question and assumes they want to know about the history of the Rising Volt Tacklers. While not what they wanted to know, their curiosity gets the better of them, and they agree to hear him out. Wy-Yes proceeds to tell them various tall tales, such as [[Murdock]] having once developed a highly popular dessert (which he reveals to have only been popular for a short time and within the airship only), [[Orla]] having built a supersonic aircraft that circumnavigated the globe (which she says is untrue, as they'd be flying in it if it did exist), and [[Ludlow]] secretly being a superhero with a body of steel (which the children themselves immediately conclude must be false). Reuniting at the wing deck, Wy-Yes plans to conclude his tales by telling the children about Mollie. Despite the nurse herself showing up to object to this, Wy-Yes shows the children a [[Photography|photo]] of himself with a younger Mollie, who used to have a completely different hairstyle and, according to him, clung to him all the time and was very demure. Her anger reaching a boiling point, Mollie has her {{TP|Mollie|Chansey}} launch the journalist and his Wynaut into the distance, before leaving in a huff.

Wy-Yes soon lands near the oasis and right next to Friede, who's trying to find out the reason behind why a Farigiraf had attacked Liko and the others earlier. The children catch up with them, but Liko's attempt to ask him about Entei gets predictably interrupted, this time by Wy-Yes shushing her and claiming that he can hear multiple Farigiraf headed their way. Moments later, the children are surprised to notice that he's actually right this time, as a trio of enraged {{pkmn|category|Long Neck Pokémon}} charges at them. However, the Pokémon trio's attention is quickly refocused on an incoming {{p|Espathra}}, and they start attacking it, making Dot realize that the oasis must be their territory, explaining why one of them had attacked the group before. Espathra responds to the Farigiraf trio's {{m|Psybeam}}s with {{m|Psychic}}; as a result of the clash of {{type|Psychic}} [[move]]s, a large field of enigmatic energy surrounds the area around the oasis. As the clash continues, the energy causes a part of the rockface above them to break apart and fall, but Mollie, having been altered by the airship's {{p|Noctowl}}, arrives to help and has Chansey smash the falling boulder apart with {{m|Tackle}}. Dot, spotting bubbles rising from the oasis, asks Roy to break the rock resting in the middle of the pond, which he does with {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. As a result, water starts gushing into the oasis, filling it up to its proper height once more. Friede theorizes that a landslide or alike could've been the cause behind water not flowing properly. With water aplenty now, the Farigiraf and Espathra stop their clash and go to drink together, their turf war now resolved.

Back at the airship, Wy-Yes thanks everyone for providing him with plenty of material for Occulture. Liko and her friends address him and finally manage to ask him if he knows anything about Entei. He responds that he's heard of an Entei sighting being made in [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. Him only now realizing what the group had wanted to ask him about all along leaves the children in an exasperated state. Later, as the Brave Olivine sets course for Johto, Liko asks Mollie if they can believe this information being correct, but Mollie assures her that it is true, based on Wynaut's reaction: the Bright Pokémon has been with Wy-Yes for so long that it knows whether he's speaking the truth or not, reacting in a questioning way to any untrue statements and eagerly towards any true facts, such as the info about Entei. Liko recalls that Wynaut had also reacted the same way to what Wy-Yes had said about Mollie's past, leaving the nurse blushing in embarrassment. She admits that she used to be naive when she was younger, falling for many of Sohday's untrue claims, though she does recognize that she's not sure if he was teasing her or genuinely trying to teach her.

Later, Dot shows Liko and Roy the newest online issue of Occulture, which features an article about what happened at the savanna, even including nameless mentions of them as children who helped to deal with the phenomenon caused by the clash between Farigiraf and Espathra. Liko and Roy feel happy for Dot to get mentioned in the magazine she loves, though she feels a bit flustered about being brought up in the article.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
By [[Liko]]'s request, [[Rystal]] starts recounting the tale of the [[Explorers]] and [[Laqua]], starting with how she had first met [[Lucius]].

Running away from a group of thieves, Rystal and {{p|Terapagos}} are saved by Lucius, who scares the thieves away with [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. At the sight of Terapagos, Lucius becomes intrigued by it and notes that he's never seen one before, with Rystal revealing she had first met it within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], affectionately referring to it by the [[nickname]] "[[Pagogo]]". Later, Lucius shows Rystal the [[Scarlet Book]] and [[Heath]]'s tale of meeting Terapagos, though Rystal still continues to refer to her partner by its nickname. When Lucius expresses his desire to find the mythical paradise Laqua, Rystal announces she'll join him on his adventure. During their journey, Lucius meets {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}, {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}, and [[Lucius's Gouging Fire|Entei]], which join him on his travels. When Lucius and Rystal stop in a town to ask people for information about Laqua, most of them chalk it off as a mere fairy tale. However, one man, [[Gibeon]], has gathered plenty of data pertaining to Laqua and fully believes in its existence as well. Seeing a fellow person seeking Laqua, Lucius invites him to join them. Accompanied by Gibeon and his [[White Zygarde]], the three adventures name themselves the Explorers and embark on a long adventure together, which ultimately leads to them finding Laqua.

In Laqua, the three Explorers find themselves surrounded by a paradise where many Pokémon, including [[Legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}, live in peaceful harmony. Interested to discover what has allowed this kind of place to become reality, they venture deeper into the paradise. The further they go, however, the more desolate and withered the landscape around them grows, until they ultimately discover a cluster of [[Laquium|pink crystals]], which Terapagos reacts aggressively towards. Examining the crystals, Gibeon can tell that they contain incredible amounts of energy. Lucius sees that while the crystals could be what has allowed Laqua to bloom, they can also be a burden to the paradise and declares that they're leaving Laqua, not wanting to risk causing anything dangerous by meddling with forces beyond natural laws. While he and Rystal return to the base camp, Gibeon, refusing to deny the existence of his discovery, starts excavating more of the crystals with Zygarde, causing quakes that attract Lucius and Rystal back to the site. Gibeon is overjoyed by what he has discovered, even as a pink mist spreading out from the crystals starts causing trees to wither and [[wild Pokémon]] to go on feral rampages.

Fearing that these effects could threaten the entire {{pkmn|world}} if allowed to spread, Lucius and his Pokémon rise to the occasion and try to stop the crystals, but nothing they do is able to contain them. Even as Zygarde rebels against its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and attempts to contain the crystals with its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]], reverting to its {{form|Zygarde|10% Forme}} in the process, the endless power of the crystals continues to spread. A chasm opens beneath Gibeon's feet, and he plummets down before Lucius or Rystal can save him. Witnessing Lucius's determination, Rystal also refuses to give up. In response, Terapagos transforms into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, surrounds Lucius's Pokémon in balls of light, and rises to the sky with them, containing the area within a large energy dome. Lucius is caught within the dome, but he stays calm, promising that he will stay alive so that they can someday meet again in Laqua. He tells Rystal to leave and asks her to protect their future. Moments later, the crystals within the dome explode and cover everything within in their mist, scattering Lucius's Pokémon in the process. Terapagos, meanwhile, having expended all of its power, falls down before Rystal in its dormant jewel form.

Concluding her tale, Rystal recounts how she had subsequently left Laqua in order to protect [[Leila]], whom she had been expecting at the time. Not wanting the tragedies that occurred in Laqua to happen again, she intends to tell her daughter nothing about Lucius. She doesn't feel the need to be remembered, just wanting Leila to live as a proof that she and Lucius did exist. Looking at Lucius's Pokémon, she apologizes for not being able to look for them, but is still glad that the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have managed to find them. [[Friede]] recounts how they've found them scattered around [[Kanto]], [[Paldea]], [[Galar]], and [[Kitakami]], while Liko assures that each of them had been cherishing Lucius's {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s, still wanting to keep the promise they had made with him. Thinking back to all the visions of Lucius she's seen, Liko comes to understand that they must've been Terapagos's memories from when it and Rystal were traveling together with Lucius. Friede asks for Rystal to tell them where Laqua is, but unfortunately, she doesn't know, as they had been led there by Rayquaza and the others after being adrift at sea for several days, and on her journey back, she had been picked up by a large ship. She speculates that Gibeon could know where it is, but before Liko can tell her what happened to him, a shining light surrounds Rystal, signifying that her time in the future is coming to an end. She expresses her gratefulness at having gotten to see the future that Lucius wanted to protect and tells Liko to take care of Terapagos for her as its partner. With one final "thank you", she and Leila vanish back to where they came from.

Terapagos, saddened by Rystal's departure, starts to cry heartily, so Liko takes it into a comforting hug, promising to reach Laqua with it. Once Terapagos has stopped crying, it starts looking at Liko in a pleading way. Understanding what Terapagos wants, Friede hands Liko an empty {{i|Poké Ball}}. Feeling grateful for the chance of having gotten to meet Terapagos, Liko holds out the Poké Ball. Terapagos excitedly taps the ball and is sucked into it. A few shakes later, Terapagos has been officially {{pkmn2|caught}}. Liko lets the {{pkmn|category|Tera Pokémon}} back out and happily embraces it, addressing it by the nickname that Rystal had given to it.

The next day, [[Diana]] announces that she'll be leaving. With what she learned last night, her adventures regarding the pendant have finally come to an end. She admits that she had genuinely not known of Lucius and Rystal being her grandparents, having never even learned Rystal's name before due to her having died young. Now she intends to travel wherever her heart takes her, though she does promise to come to the Rising Volt Tacklers' help if they ever happen to be in a pinch. Once Diana and her {{p|Arcanine}} have disappeared into the distance, Liko, her friends, and Friede set their sights on locating the last two members of the [[Six Heroes]], Entei and the Black Rayquaza, in order to reach Laqua and see what it is like now. Trying to figure out how to find the two elusive Pokémon, Friede suddenly remembers [[Wy-Yes|a person]] who could possibly help them.

At the [[Exceed]] office building in [[Levincia]], [[Chalce]] enters a dark room where [[Spinel]] is working on a computer. They've managed to keep their activities as a secret from [[Hamber]], though they can't help but notice that [[Amethio]] has continued his own activities despite having been suspended from all missions. Spinel feels concerned about this, but remains determined on his goal, intending to be the one to reach Laqua alongside Gibeon.

==Plot==
Following the appearance of [[Diana]]'s {{p|Squawkabilly}} outside her window, [[Liko]], her friends, and [[Friede]] follow it to find Diana herself in [[Brave Olivine]]'s kitchen. Having heard of their current location in [[Kitakami]] from [[Lucca]], she had ridden her {{p|Arcanine}} all the way there to reach them, as she has something important to share with them: new information about [[Lucius]]. Before sharing it, however, she challenges her granddaughter to a [[Pokémon battle]]. As such, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] gather on the wing deck to witness the showdown. Diana declares that this time, she won't hold back. Liko remembers how [[HZ033|last time]], even her and [[Roy]] working together had only been enough to barely land a single hit on Arcanine. This time, though, she and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} are feeling much more confident about their chances, despite being at a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|type disadvantage}}.
[[File:Liko Floragato vs Diana Arcanine.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko's Floragato battling Diana's Arcanine]]
The battle begins with Liko ordering a {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Arcanine avoids the [[Move|attack]] with {{m|Extreme Speed}}, which Liko has Floragato take head-on while the Magical Leaf {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|curves around}} and strikes Arcanine anyway while it was briefly immobilized. Arcanine follows up with {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Floragato dodges it and hits Arcanine with {{m|Acrobatics}}. She continues to execute this same maneuver repeatedly afterwards, avoiding being hit while slowly building up [[damage]] on Arcanine. Diana is happy to see how far Floragato has come since their last battle, but then assumes a more serious expression and shouts out a passionate command for a {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The strong {{type|Fire}} attack grazes Floragato as she tries to avoid it, but she still manages to get up. Diana orders another Flare Blitz, but Floragato manages to hit Arcanine first with {{m|Sucker Punch}}, cancelling out the attack. This, however, ends up only benefitting Arcanine, as being hit by a {{type|Dark}} move has triggered its [[Ability]], {{a|Justified}}, boosting its strength. While nervous, Liko declares that they can grow stronger too and {{Tera}}stallizes Floragato. Diana orders one more Flare Blitz from Arcanine. Knowing that Magical Leaf will burn up if she just fires it off, Liko looks for an opening. Spotting Arcanine's feet, Liko has Floragato attack them with Magical Leaf, successfully making Arcanine stumble and fall over, which she capitalizes on by ordering a big Magical Leaf, which is enough to defeat Arcanine. Diana is happy to see how much Liko has improved in such a short amount of time, which she attributes to her friends pushing her forward during the [[Tera Training]] course. As promised, Diana now agrees to show the information she discovered about Lucius.

In the Brave Olivine's conference room, Diana starts out by showing everyone a photo of her in her youth alongside her friend [[Hamber]], whom she used to go on adventures with. A year ago, they had met up again for the first time in ages. While Hamber had claimed to just want to go on adventures again, she had found out that he was actually after Liko's pendant. As such, she had told Lucca to keep Liko safe, which, in turn, had led to her hiring the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect Liko and bring her safely back home to [[Paldea]], which is how Liko's own adventure [[HZ001|had]] [[HZ002|started]]. Getting to a more important part, Diana explains how, back when her [[Ancient castle|castle hideout]] was [[HZ025|attacked]], she had met Hamber again and learned that he was a member of the [[Explorers]]. This information had shocked her, since the Explorers were originally founded by none other than Lucius, shocking everyone else too, since they can't picture the Explorers being anything but ruthlessly villainous. Finding out the origins of the Explorers had been the reason why Diana had [[HZ034|left the Brave Olivine]], which she had requested Friede to keep as a secret. Since history books only contain a few scant mentions of the team, she had visited towns that Lucius was said to have visited a hundred years ago and talked with old people who had lived in those places for a long time. From the legends they could tell and diaries they could show to her, she had discovered accounts of people who had met Lucius and his friends.

Diana brings out another old photo that showcases the three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who originally formed the Explorers: Lucius, [[Rystal]], and [[Gibeon]]. Liko and her friends remember Rystal's name from the vision of the past that {{DL|Six Heroes|Kleavor}} had [[HZ073|showed to them]]. As for Gibeon, Friede has no idea who he is. To everyone else's surprise, though, Liko recognizes the name, [[HZ065|having heard of him]] from [[Amethio]] and learned about him being the leader of the Explorers and his grandfather. The Rising Volt Tacklers are confused as to how Gibeon could still be alive after a hundred years, but regardless, someone of that name is now using the name of Lucius's team and leading the Explorers. For one last piece of information that Diana has discovered, she reveals that Gibeon is the board chairman of the company [[Exceed]]. Friede reveals to the rest of the team how he used to work as a researcher for Exceed and had [[HZ054|recently investigated it]] while the Brave Olivine was being repaired, discovering that the company had done research on a substance called [[Laquium]], which has a strange effect on Pokémon. However, he hadn't been aware that the company even had a board chairman, though he can remember his boss, [[Cervantis]], mentioning that there are people even above him in the company's hierarchy. Diana confirms that she hadn't been able to find anyone from Exceed who'd have actually met Gibeon, either. This means that Gibeon has been using Exceed to research Laquium, while the Explorers are trying to reach [[Laqua]]. Given the similarities in the names of the substance and the location, the Rising Volt Tacklers quickly deduce that the two are connected, and that the Explorers are trying to get their hands on Laqua's Laquium.
[[File:Rystal Crystal Pool.png|thumb|right|250px|Rystal appearing at the Crystal Pool]]
Over an impromptu snack break, everyone reviews the results of their discussion. While some questions still remain unanswered, they've gotten much closer to figuring things out now by pooling their information together. Friede, in particular, is curious to learn more about Rystal. Seeing {{an|Terapagos}} react to Rystal's name with a longing expression, Liko declares that she wants to revisit the [[Crystal Pool]] and see if its rumored power of letting one meet those who have died could allow them to meet Rystal. Agreeing to Liko's idea, she, her friends, Friede, and Diana travel to the Crystal Pool, arriving there after sunset. Under the starry sky, everyone prays for them to get to meet Rystal, with Terapagos calling out to her. A few moments later, the Crystal Pool indeed reacts to their plea and starts to glow brightly. As the light dies down, a woman carrying a baby appears in front of them. Terapagos excitedly approaches her, even as she tries to understand where she is. She does confirm herself to be Rystal when Liko asks for her name, but Liko doesn't manage to nervously stutter out much beyond her own name before [[Six Heroes|Lucius's Pokémon]] emerge from their {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s. Rystal recognizes them, but is now even more confused as to why Liko would have them. As Liko's nervousness keeps her from getting the words out, Friede steps in and explains that the Rising Volt Tacklers are searching for the Six Heroes so that Terapagos can regain its power and they can reach Laqua. He also reveals to Rystal that that the power of the Crystal Pool has [[Time travel|brought her into the future]] to meet them. Rystal understands and believes the explanation, given that they have Lucius's Pokémon and her former partner Pagogo with them. Liko and her friends are surprised to learn that Terapagos's Trainer was Rystal and not Lucius, like they had assumed.

The baby in Rystal's arms starts to cry, and she does her best to comfort her, addressing her as [[Leila]]. This name catches Diana off-guard, since Leila was actually the name of her mother. This means that Diana herself is Rystal's granddaughter, which, in turn, makes Liko her great-great-granddaughter. While initially angry at being called old, Rystal quickly calms down, saying that she can finally understand why Terapagos is with them, since her child's father is actually Lucius. The group is now in even more shock following this revelation, although none more so than Liko, who is practically panicking after learning that the ancient adventurer Lucius is her great-great-grandfather.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[File:Lucius Kleavor and Lapras handshake.png|thumb|left|250px|Lapras and Kleavor greeting each other]]
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], [[Friede]], and [[Perrin]] continue their search for {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} of the [[Six Heroes]] on [[Tengu Mountain]]. As they keep finding more gouges that Kleavor has left behind, Liko dons [[Lucius]]'s belt. The group arrives at a waterfall, where they witness a tree falling down it being sliced apart in an instant, with Kleavor revealing itself from behind the waterfall only moments later. Unexpectedly, {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} releases itself from its {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} and glares at Kleavor. Liko suddenly realizes why the gouges left behind by Kleavor have looked familiar to her; they are identical to the scars on Lapras's neck, meaning that it received those wounds from Kleavor. The two members of the Six Heroes start fighting each other, forcing the group to take cover as the two powerful Pokémon exchange blow after blow. However, the battle soon ends as suddenly as it started, leading the group to a relieving realization that them fighting was just their way of greeting each other. With Kleavor calmed down for the moment, Liko addresses it and asks it to join them so they can fulfill Lucius's promise and reach [[Laqua]]. Following a moment of contemplation, Kleavor disappears behind the waterfall again. Lapras solemnly [[Recall|returns]] to its Ancient Poké Ball, but both Liko and Roy remain determined to continue the pursuit.

Perrin figures out that there must be something behind the waterfall if Kleavor disappeared there. Roy, upon inspection, indeed finds a hidden cave entrance behind the waterfall. The group enters the hidden limestone cave, where they discover even more gouge marks. Friede deduces that the systematic marks must be signs of Kleavor having trained in the cave. While the group traverses through the cave, Perrin's {{p|Growlithe}} gets distracted by a {{p|Noibat}}, forcing Perrin and Friede to chase after it, leaving the children to continue the pursuit on their own. Following a breeze coming from outside, they find themselves in a bamboo grove, where the ground is littered with pieces of bamboo cut up by Kleavor, which they spot in front of them doing just that. Kleavor turns to face them, which they take as an invitation to a {{pkmn|battle}} to test their strength. Not wanting to let Kleavor get away while they wait for Friede, the children call forth their respective [[first partner Pokémon]] and begin the confrontation.

The group's first wave of attacks comes in the form of {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}'s {{m|Air Cutter}}, but Kleavor blocks each of them with ease without even moving from the spot where it's standing. Next, they try more direct attacks with {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|Flame Charge}}, and {{m|Liquidation}}, but Kleavor easily shrugs the hits off. Dot decides the best strategy is to keep dodging Kleavor's attacks and build up [[damage]] on it over time. As such, the group repeats their previous attacks a couple times, before an unfazed Kleavor suddenly disappears deeper into the grove, prompting the children and their Pokémon to pursue. The partner Pokémon surround Kleavor and try to attack it again, only for it to easily avoid all of them and send them tumbling to the ground, leaving them wide open for the receiving end of a powerful {{m|X-Scissor}} attack. Dot is horrified when she realizes that Kleavor wasn't trying to flee from them earlier, but was purposefully luring them to this spot, where the obstructing bamboo works to its advantage, allowing it to avoid incoming attacks based on sound alone. With their Pokémon unable to land a single hit on their opponent, they decide on a tactical retreat, but Kleavor raises a ring of stone pillars around the area, keeping them trapped in the unfavorable fight.

[[File:Lucius Kleavor Stone Axe.png|thumb|250px|Kleavor using Stone Axe]]
The children are forced to keep fighting, though their attacks are still failing to land. Roy has Crocalor express his determination by building up a lot of heat for a Flame Charge. Before the attack can go off, though, the heat of the flames causes some bamboo pieces at Crocalor's feet to pop apart, startling Crocalor and even grabbing Kleavor's attention. Examining the bamboo pieces that Kleavor had cut apart, Roy gets an idea, having Crocalor build up another Flame Charge and run rapidly in circles around Kleavor. Roy explains that [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]] had taught him how there's air trapped between bamboo nodes. When exposed to the heat of fire, this air will expand and eventually cause the bamboo pieces to burst open. With bamboo pieces loudly snapping open all around it, Kleavor's focus is completely thrown off, leaving it unable to predict where incoming attacks are coming from and allowing the group's Pokémon to finally land proper hits on it. This situation soon forces Kleavor itself to make a tactical retreat, climbing outside the ring of stone pillars, where Friede and Perrin have just found their way out of the cave. The group breaks through the stone pillars and launches another series of attacks at Kleavor. Before the attacks can hit, however, Kleavor launches a powerful counterattack with a move that Friede identifies as {{m|Stone Axe}}. While the power of this attack intimidates the children, Liko realizes that Kleavor resorting to using its best moves means that it's feeling cornered. Reassured by this realization, Liko pulls out her [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallizes Floragato. Roy and Dot follow her example and Terastallize their own partner Pokémon as well. Powered by Terastallization, the three partner Pokémon power through another Stone Axe to deal a trio of heavy hits on Kleavor. Kleavor falls on its knee, but the group's celebration is cut short when Kleavor still manages to smack them back, the damage from the Stone Axe's splinters being enough to defeat them, though Kleavor too is left stumbling from exhaustion.

[[File:Lucius and Kleavor.png|thumb|left|250px|Kleavor's first meeting with Lucius]]
Once the group has finished healing their Pokémon, Kleavor stands up and motions the group to follow it. The {{pkmn|category|Axe Pokémon}} leads the group out of the bamboo grove and onto a cliff that provides a view of [[Oni Mountain]] in the distance. While the group admires the breathtaking sunset view, Kleavor smashes open a nearby boulder, revealing an Ancient Poké Ball. As with other of Lucius's Pokémon, Kleavor releases a shining sphere of light from its body, which envelops the group and transports them into a vision of the past, showcasing Lucius defending a tied-up Kleavor from a group of angry villagers. Lucius frees Kleavor from its bonds, but when it still tries to attack him, Lapras emerges and takes the hit for Lucius, producing the scars seen on its neck. Lucius recognizes that Kleavor's rampage hasn't ended yet, so he invites it to test its strength on an adventure to discover a paradise he's searching for. After a moment of consideration, Kleavor accepts and enters one of Lucius's Ancient Poké Balls, becoming his Pokémon. Smiling happily, Lucius addresses an individual named [[Rystal]] and tells them it's time to go. The vision fades away, and while the group wonders who Rystal could be, Kleavor returns to its Ancient Poké Ball, which Liko happily picks up. Friede figures that Kleavor must have been waiting all this time for someone whom it could trust and travel with in order to use its well-honed strength to aid its allies once more.

Heading down the mountain, Perrin informs the group that she'll be heading off now, the numerous photos she's taken with them having provided her with plenty of motivation to continue her career as a [[Photography|photographer]]. She promises to not publish any images of {{an|Terapagos}} or Kleavor and looks forward to witnessing how much the children have grown when they meet again, before waving them goodbye. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede, meanwhile, return to the [[Brave Olivine]] to report their discoveries to the rest of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. The next day, while in her room, Liko hears a knock on the window and is surprised to see [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s {{p|Squawkabilly}}.

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], [[Friede]], and [[Perrin]] are heading up [[Tengu Mountain]] on the search for [[Lucius's Kleavor]], with Dot struggling as per usual due to her lack of stamina. When the group takes a brief break from climbing to talk about Perrin's [[Photography|photo]] of Kleavor, Perrin tells the others how she has had passion and talent for Pokémon photography since she was a child, which helped to inspire her to become a world-travelling professional photographer as a career. Perrin mentions how [[Friede]]'s map app has actually helped her in tracking down various Pokémon for photographing in her career, much to Frides's delight. Perrin tells the group that unfortunately she doesn't remember exactly where on Tengu Mountain she encountered Kleavor, as it immediately attacked her and sent her fleeing. Liko and Roy suggest they explore the mountain to track down Kleavor's location anyway, so the group continues on their way. Perrin tells Friede if it's okay for school kids like Liko, Roy, and Dot to be on such a dangerous quest, to which Friede replies that they are evolving and getting stronger, just like their Pokémon, and that they can handle themselves.

The group heads into a nearby rocky clearing, where {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} gets hungry and reaches out for a [[Sitrus Berry]] resting on the ground, only for him and Roy to fall into a sinkhole, leaving them trapped at the bottom of a small fissure. While both of the survive the fall just fine, they have no way of climbing back up. Spotting a cave entrance, Roy tells the others above that he and Crocalor will find another way out. While Roy and Crocalor enter the cave, aboveground, the others are suddenly surrounded by a vicious pack of {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Houndour}}, who start attacking them for entering their territory. Friede sends forth [[Captain Pikachu]] and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} to fend the pack off. Liko and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} briefly fend off some of the {{pkmn|category|Dark Pokémon}} chasing after them as well, leaving Dot and Perrin to run on ahead. When Liko runs after them, she unknowingly ends up running down a different path than they did.

When Dot and Perrin stop to notice that Liko isn't with them, Perrin gets the feeling she's been to this part of the woods before. Before she can remember more, though, a {{p|Trevenant}} appears before them and uses {{m|Confuse Ray}}, leaving them hypnotized and walking in a circle, unable to answer when Liko tries to call them. Fortunately for them, {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} stumbles on a pebble and is released from his trance, proceeding then to slap the others to snap them awake too. Perrin suddenly remembers what happened to her earlier, spotting Trevenant and realizing she had fallen for its Confuse Ray before as well. Trevenant blocks their escape routes by controlling the surrounding trees, leaving the duo with no choice but to {{pkmn|battle}}. After closing their eyes to avoid another Confuse Ray, Dot tells Perrin to have her {{p|Growlithe}} use {{m|Ember}} on her mark. Combined with Quaxwell's {{m|Water Gun}}, this combination creates a cloud of steam that blocks Trevenant's field of vision and leaves it open for an {{m|Air Cutter}} from Quaxwell. Overwhelmed, the {{2t|Ghost|Grass}} type [[Escape|flees]] in panic. Meanwhile, Roy and Crocalor discover an underwater stream with {{Berries}} floating down on its surface. Realizing the Berries must be coming from outside, they head upstream and find themselves in a grove filled with Berry trees.
[[File:Roy party HZ072.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and his Pokémon battling together]]
Elsewhere, Friede and his Pokémon have just managed to send the pack of Houndoom and Houndour fleeing in defeat, so they head out to find the others. Meanwhile, Liko and Floragato keep finding slash marks left behind by Kleavor, some fresher than the others. Unsure whether Kleavor is leaving them behind as leads or a warning, Liko sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and asks her to use her emotion sensing powers to see if she can sense any strong negative emotions on the mountain. Hattrem does so and remains calm, which means Kleavor must be calm too. Elsewhere, thanks to Dot identifying a specific plant in Perrin's photo of Kleavor, she's able to direct the group towards the place where it is known to grow, located near a rock formation that resembles a {{p|Dugtrio}}. Watching Dot, Perrin can't help but notice how Friede's statement of the children evolving is really showing in the growth of Liko and her friends as {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Meanwhile, Roy and Crocalor proceed to climb a cliff face using some vines, only to be attacked by a territorial {{pkmn2|wild}} duo of {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Mandibuzz}} midway through. Roy sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and has Crocalor ride on it to even the odds. Shiftry attacks with {{m|Whirlwind}}, but this only end up powering up Kilowattrel, who uses {{m|Spark}} to attack the duo, though unintentionally also {{status|paralyzing}} Crocalor in the process. Roy doesn't give up, however, and has Kilowattrel dodge Shiftry and Mandibuzz's attacks and circle back around them, allowing Crocalor to use a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Disarming Voice}} to finish their opponents off and send the two Pokémon fleeing.

Perrin and Dot reach the correct location first, with Dot reflecting on how she never really liked going outdoors to explore the world until now, and that meeting new people and Pokémon has changed her outlook on life for the better. Perrin also reflects on her own slump in taking simple photographs, and how catching a glimpse of Kleavor had inspired her to take more creative photos in her career. She then encourages Dot by stating how her adventures with her Pokémon are something worth cherishing. The rest of the group soon reaches the area as well, surrounded by trees and rocks covered in slash marks, including the Dugtrio Rock. Friede points out to Perrin how the children managed to forge their own paths up the mountain to reunite with each other, showcasing their "evolution" as a group. As the group moves on ahead, Kleavor appears behind them, looking at them from atop the Dugtrio Rock without them noticing. {{an|Terapagos}} senses its presence and peeks out of Liko's [[bag]], only for Kleavor to have already disappeared.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Climbing up [[Oni Mountain]], [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] finally reach the end of the [[Infernal Pass]] and arrive at the [[Crystal Pool]] at the mountain's summit. They spot a [[signpost]], which informs them of a local legend that says that the Crystal Pool can allow one to see those who have died. However, the person they've come to meet, [[Briar]], is nowhere in sight, so Friede sets out to look for her while telling the children to wait. The trio's [[first partner Pokémon]] start playing at the shore of the pond, but their playtime is interrupted when an agitated {{p|Milotic}} suddenly emerges from the water before them and promptly {{Tera}}stallizes into a {{t|Ghost}} type. Left with no other choice, the children start to {{pkmn|battle}} Milotic, but its movements and counterattacks prove too fast for them. Liko tries to use {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s vine to hold it in place, but instead, Milotic ends up pulling Floragato underwater, forcing her to let go. Deciding on using a lure instead, Roy and Dot get an idea from a carnival game that [[HZ069|Dot played]] back during the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]]. Floragato ties her vine around {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, who dances in the shallow water to lure Milotic in, at which point Floragato pulls Quaxwell to safety and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} uses {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Surprisingly, Milotic uses Disarming Voice right back, and soon both it and Crocalor start singing to each other, with Milotic's Terastallized state becoming undone in the process as the two song-loving Pokémon communicate through their singing.

Just as the pacified Milotic dives away, Friede returns with Briar, who explains that Milotic's unprovoked aggression must've been caused by the Crystal Pool's composition. She and the young [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] introduce themselves to each other, with Briar having heard of them from [[Raifort]]. When the subject of their meeting, {{an|Terapagos}}, emerges from Liko's [[Bag|backpack]], Briar goes beside herself with excitement and tries to examine it, only for Terapagos to freak out and run away from her until Floragato manages to calm her down. Briar notes that she has actually seen another awakened {{p|Terapagos}} before, much to Liko's surprise. She also mentions how the crystals in the Crystal Pool resemble those found in [[Paldea]], explaining how [[wild Pokémon]] are able to Terastallize in [[Kitakami]] as well. She explains that she found this out while researching the Terastal phenomenon, which is heavily connected to Terapagos. Both sides of the conversation are eager to learn more from the other, so they head to Briar's tent nearby. While they set up tables and a campfire, Roy asks Briar who her partner Pokémon is, but she admits that her work has been so busy that she hasn't found herself one yet. Dot finds this relatable, also being very into studying Pokémon, although she does have Quaxwell watching after her.

After settling down, Liko tells Briar everything she knows about Terapagos's history, from her receiving it in the form a pendant from [[Diana|her grandmother]] to its connection with [[Lucius]], the [[Six Heroes]], and [[Laqua]]. While Briar cannot tell them anything about Laqua, she does note that Lucius must've met Terapagos somewhere, just like [[Heath]], the scientist who first named Terapagos and her ancestor. Her dream is to prove Heath's discoveries were true, and she pulls out a copy of his [[Scarlet Book]] from her backpack. It is the original tome, where the parts that were made illegible in the printed version are perfectly readable. One part details the expedition that Heath led into [[Area Zero]] down in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. In its depths, he had discovered many shining jewels, a Pokémon that he had named Terapagos, and [[Paradox Pokémon|many other mysterious Pokémon]]. However, Heath's writings about his discoveries were largely discredited, with hardly anyone believing him. That's why Briar is determined to solve the mysteries surrounding Terapagos and prove that her ancestor was correct. Liko finds the idea relatable, as she too had inherited the quest of solving the mysteries surrounding Terapagos and Lucius from her grandmother, making her and Briar kindred spirits.

Liko shows Briar her grandmother's research notes and Lucius's memoirs, the latter which her grandmother had found in her attic. Examining the memoirs, Briar notices a sketch of Terapagos's {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, whose name the group hadn't known of before. Briar notes that for Terapagos to change from Normal Form to Terastal Form requires a special impetus or power of some kind. Roy realizes that one of these {{a|Tera Shift|transformations}} occurred during an [[HZ033|encounter]] with the [[Black Rayquaza]]. While Briar theorizes that Terapagos and the Six Heroes share some kind of unobserved connection, both Liko and Friede recall [[HZ064|another incident]] and ask Briar if she knows anything about the substance called [[Laquium]]. Although she doesn't, the fact that there's so many things she's not heard of before only makes her even more excited to uncover everything about Terapagos. After nightfall, Briar leads them back to the Crystal Pool, hoping that Terapagos's memories of Lucius and the location's rumored special properties could help them find some answers. They stand together in front of the glimmering pool while Terapagos calls out for Lucius, but despite the legend about the Crystal Pool allowing people to meet those who have died, nothing happens all night. The next morning, the Rising Volt Tacklers leave Briar to continue her research and return to the [[Brave Olivine]]. With their leads regarding Terapagos having dried out for now, the team decides to focus on finding the rest of the Six Heroes, although they don't really have any clues regarding their whereabouts either. [[Murdock]] notices that Dot is not with them, and Liko tells him that Dot stayed behind in [[Mossui Town]] to get some footage for her videos.

In Mossui Town, Dot has just finished recording some footage of the local Pokémon when Quaxwell points out an unusual {{p|Growlithe}} to her. Consulting her [[Rotom Phone]], Dot learns that it is a {{rf|Hisuian}} Growlithe. Remembering that {{p|Kleavor}} was also native to [[Hisui]], she quickly follows Growlithe to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Perrin]], who confirms that her Pokémon indeed comes from her homeland of [[Sinnoh]], once known as Hisui. Dot asks her if she knows anything about Kleavor, but she only agrees to tell her under some specific conditions, the first of which is getting to take a [[Photography|photo]] of her. While initially shy about the idea, Dot ultimately agrees. The second condition that Perrin declares is for Dot to show her strength in battle, sending out {{p|Leafeon}} to be her opponent. Although Dot immediately realizes that her Quaxwell is at a type disadvantage, she still resolves to fight. After both sides have dodged some of each other's attacks, Leafeon powers itself up with {{m|Swords Dance}}, followed by {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Quaxwell tries to counter the blows with {{m|Pound}}, but is still struck hard. He still gets back up, though, and after dodging some further Leaf Blades, he uses a new [[move]] that Dot recognizes as {{m|Air Cutter}}. Dot orders another Air Cutter, which powers through Leafeon's {{m|Razor Leaf}}, so Perrin instead calls for a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Quaxwell succeeds in dodging the fast-speed attack and deals the finishing blow with {{m|Low Kick}}, defeating Leafeon. As promised, Perrin shows Dot a photograph she's taken. Shocked by what she sees, Dot takes Perrin with her to the Brave Olivine's conference room, shocking her fellow Rising Volt Tacklers with the knowledge that Perrin has seen Kleavor, with the young photographer happily introducing herself to the bewildered adventurers.

* The {{p|Milotic}} encountered at the [[Crystal Pool]] in this episode has {{t|Ghost}} as its {{Tera|Tera Type}}.

* This episode marks the first physical appearance of a [[Hisuian form]] in the main series.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Liko]] and {{an|Terapagos}}, and the second features Briar.
** This marks the first time {{aniseries|HZ}} has featured an eyecatch that doesn't contain any Pokémon.
* [[Dot]], [[Roy]], Liko, {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} narrate the preview for the [[HZ072|next episode]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
In order to meet [[Briar]] at the [[Crystal Pool]], [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] head up the [[Infernal Pass]] to reach their destination, while the rest of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] stay behind at [[Mossui Town]] to do some cultural exchange with the locals. Soon, they're startled when a bunch of metallic tubs suddenly fall down behind them. The culprit, a {{p|Bombirdier}}, openly laughs at them from the sky above while Liko checks its info on her [[Rotom Phone]] and Friede explains that Bombirdier loves startling people and Pokémon. Dot's {{p|Tinkatink}} tries hammering one of the tubs, but ends up dropping her hammer, making her cry until Dot picks it up for her, with Bombirdier observing them from nearby.

The group continues their climb, but ends up stopping to observe some [[wild Pokémon]]. Simultaneously, Tinkatink finds some pieces of scrap iron and starts hammering one of them. Liko notices that Tinkatink's hammer seems to be longer than before. Dot confirms this, also noting that when Tinkatink focuses on working on her hammer, she doesn't seem to pay attention to anything else, which Liko and Roy see as similar to how hard Dot focuses when creating web content. The group decides to take a break from climbing to let Tinkatink continue her work. Bombirdier, watching from a cliff, tries to startle Tinkatink by dropping some water balloons around her, but she's so focused on her work that she doesn't notice them at all, much to Bombirdier's irritation. As such, it instead drops down a set of chattering teeth, which startles and distracts Tinkatink long enough for Bombirdier to snatch the metal plate she had been working on and start flying away with it. Dot gives chase and has {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} retrieve the plate from Bombirdier's claws and return it to Tinkatink. However, Bombirdier quickly returns, this time dropping down a {{p|Pineco}}, which promptly {{m|Self-Destruct}}s and creates a cloud of smoke, allowing the {{pkmn|category|Item Drop Pokémon}} to snatch the scrap iron plate again. Tinkatink, noticing this, desperately follows, and by the time the smoke cloud clears, no one knows where Tinkatink has gone, so the group decides to split up to search for her.

Having lost sight of Bombirdier, Tinkatink keeps asking help from various wild Pokémon she comes across, but none of them is able to help her. Eventually, however, both Tinkatink and Dot hear a clanging noise and follow it. Tinkatink reaches the source of the sound first, finding Bombirdier using her iron plate to startle a {{p|Magcargo}}. Bombirdier flies away with the plate, so Tinkatink gives chase, eventually winding up at Bombirdier's stash of stolen metallic items. While Bombirdier goes off to drink nearby, Tinkatink climbs into the stash to find her iron plate, just as Dot arrives at the site as well. Bombirdier notices Tinkatink going through its belongings, but Quaxwell manages to distract it with {{m|Water Gun}} long enough for Tinkatink to find her plate and resume working on it. In retaliation, Bombirdier drops a metallic tub on Quaxwell. When it tries to do the same again, Quaxwell uses Water Gun to send the tub right back back at Bombirdier. Starting to get angry, Bombirdier promptly {{Tera}}stalllizes into a pure {{t|Dark}} type. Dot is shocked that wild Pokémon are able to Terastallize, but quickly recovers and decides to respond in kind. However, before she can Terastallize Quaxwell, she's suddenly attacked by another Bombirdier, causing her to drop and lose her [[Tera Orb]]. While she desperately looks around for it, she simultaneously has Quaxwell fight against the two Bombirdier, determined to not allow Tinkatink's work to be interrupted.

Tinkatink finally finishes adding the iron plate to her hammer. Seeing Quaxwell struggling, she wants to go help, but her upgraded hammer proves too heavy for her to lift. While Quaxwell continues to get pummeled by the two Bombirdier, Tinkatink desperately drags her hammer along, until she finally falls off the cliff she was on, dragged down by her hammer. Seeing her, the Terastallized Bombirdier switches targets, but at that moment, Tinkatink musters her strength to actually lift her hammer and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}} as a result. Now wielding her hammer with ease, Tinkatuff joins Quaxwell in the battle; while Quaxwell blocks incoming attacks, Tinkatuff first defeats one Bombirdier with {{m|Brutal Swing}}, before pounding the Terastallized one down with a new [[move]]; {{m|Play Rough}}. Both Bombirdier flee in defeat and Dot takes a moment to congratulate her newly evolved Pokémon, before spotting her lost Tera Orb nearby and retrieving it. Turning back to Tinkatuff, Dot sheds tears of happiness at seeing her hard work finally finished. Once the group has reunited, Liko takes the chance to view Tinkatuff's [[Pokédex entry]], while Friede expresses his surprise at the information that wild Pokémon can Terastallize even outside of [[Paldea]]. Tinkatuff, still in high spirits, starts hammering a hexagonal {{wp|Nut (hardware)|nut}}, showing that she still wants to increase her hammer's size even further, much to Dot's delight.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have arrived in the land of [[Kitakami]] to find and meet up with [[Briar]], a {{p|Terapagos}} researcher. After landing the [[Brave Olivine]], they take a [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world|bus]] through [[Kitakami Road]] to [[Mossui Town]], planning to ask around if anyone knows where Briar is. However, as soon as they arrive, they find the entire town almost completely deserted. A shopkeeper informs them that the townspeople are off enjoying the annual [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decide to head there as well to both have fun and ask around.

After changing into festival clothes, the Rising Volt Tacklers arrive at [[Kitakami Hall]], where the festival is well underway. [[Friede]]'s attention soon focuses on a {{p|Sinistcha}}, which he wishes to take a closer look at, but its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Carmine]], doesn't trust outsiders, and challenges Friede to a game at a carnival stall before he can take a look at Sinistcha. Friede happily accepts and runs off with Carmine, though the others figure out that he's just happy to enjoy the festival. The rest of them resolve to do the same, but while looking for something tasty to eat, [[Roy]] and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} catch the scent of something good and follow it to a spot away from the main festival area. However, instead of anything edible, they find a lone, small stand with a small device sitting on it. The man housing the stand admits that he doesn't know what the machine is used for, as someone else had lost it and he had simply found it. He lets Roy try it out, and when Roy and Crocalor press the machine's two buttons simultaneously, the device activates and briefly covers the two of them in a bright light. After the glow fades, Roy and Crocalor soon discover, much to their mutual shock, that they've switched bodies. The man, dreading the mere idea of someone finding out he posssess a machine like this, makes Roy swear to not tell anyone about this. Roy gives his word and tries to reverse the process, but the machine won't start. Crocalor then proceeds to run off in Roy's body and Roy gives chase, though he quickly finds out that he has an easier time running on all fours than on two feet, giving him a fascinating new perspective on how Crocalor sees the world.
[[File:Friede and Carmine HZ069.png|thumb|left|250px|Carmine challenging Friede to a battle]]
Roy soon finds Crocalor interacting with [[Liko]] and [[Dot]], and ends up {{pkmn2|talking}} to them, forcing him to reveal the truth. The trio agrees on trying to keep a low profile and finding their way back to the man Roy had met. However, before they can do so, they're approached by [[Murdock]], who offers to treat them to anything they like. In excitement, the group agrees, only narrowly managing to cover up the fact that "Crocalor" just spoke. While wanting to get the situation fixed, the group also wants to enjoy the festival, so they accept Murdock's offer, and he leads them to [[Candy Fruit Stand|a stand selling candy apples]]. When Roy tries to take one, he ends up accidentally spewing fire on it. Murdock, though, sees the combination of caramelized candy and a gently baked apple as a new kind of delicious baked treat. The candy apple seller, liking the result as well, asks if they could make more of them, but the children, wanting to lessen the risk of being found out, politely refuse and then excuse themselves. Meanwhile, Carmine, having lost to Friede in two different carnival games by now, is getting increasingly frustrated and challenges Friede to a [[Pokémon battle]], which he is happy to accept.

The group ends up running into [[Mollie]], who, while treating a girl's scraped feet, had ended up getting a whole line of children before her, all asking for her help with similar issues. The group decides to help her out, narrowly avoiding yet another instance of "Crocalor" speaking rising suspicion. Mollie treats the first girl's scraped feet with band-aids, and the girl thanks the group for the help, not noticing anything odd about "Roy's" behavior. Meanwhile, with Friede and Carmine's battle, Sinistcha uses {{m|Matcha Gotcha}} on [[Captain Pikachu]], landing a hit and restoring some of its health. Cap, though, is far from done and tosses his hat aside as a sign of getting serious. He dodges a second Matcha Gotcha and lands a hit with a {{m|Thunder Punch}}, defeating Sinistcha and dealing yet another shocking loss to Carmine.

Continuing on their way to find the man whom Roy had met, that group spots [[Orla]] trying to fix a broken stove at a stand. Once again, they can't help but get involved. Orla finds herself unable to get the stove to heat up properly, making the fried noodle stand owner sad at the idea of having to close for the day. Roy, though, gets an idea, and his friends ask if they could use "Crocalor's" fire to heat up the stove instead, based on their earlier experience at the candy apple stand. Roy gets into position under the stove, only for a moment of silence to occur when nothing happens. After a few seconds, however, he shoots out a more powerful flame than intended, sending him flying and requiring Crocalor to catch him. Roy explains to Liko that he lost control after trying to produce a smaller flame. Crocalor's cheering encourages Roy to give it another go, and they sing their song together to boost his motivation even further, allowing him to produce a proper flame and letting the fried noodler seller to continue his work. Dot notes that Roy and Crocalor make a great team, even in swapped bodies. Once the line before the stand has been cleared up, Orla leaves with her own portion of fried noodles. One boy, upon leaving with the stand with his mother, says that he wants his {{pkmn2|first partner}} to be a {{p|Crocalor}} once he becomes a Trainer, making Roy and Crocalor feel happy.

At that moment, the man from earlier finds Roy and tells him that he's managed to get the machine to work again. Roy and Crocalor return to the man's remote stand and use the device again, successfully restoring themselves to their original bodies. Liko and Dot reveal themselves from a nearby bush and request to try out the machine as well. After some hesitation, the man agrees, but when Liko and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} press the buttons together, nothing happens. When the man examines the machine, it suddenly breaks down, much to his horror. Examining the broken machine, Dot notices the text "[[Synchro Machine]]" written on the back of the device, which the man mistakes as the name of its owner and starts frantically apologizing to them.

At Mossui Town after sunset, the Rising Volt Tacklers reunite after enjoying the eventful festival. Carmine shows up again and demands for another game with Friede, but he says he has to focus on finding Briar now. To everyone's surprise, Carmine reveals that Briar is actually her teacher. She tells them that Briar is at the [[Crystal Pool]], which cannot be visited without permission. Unexpectedly, the [[caretaker]] of the local {{DL|Mossui Town|Community Center}} approaches them and grants the Rising Volt Tacklers the permission as thanks for helping out his daughter, [[Shizune]], who turns out to be the same girl whom Mollie helped out earlier. While Carmine continues to fume in frustration, the Rising Volt Tacklers prepare to head for the Crystal Pool.

==Plot==
Outside [[Naranja Academy]], [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are talking with [[Raifort]]. The history teacher tells the children about the land of [[Kitakami]] and suggests they should visit it to meet a teacher named [[Briar]], who's a researcher studying everything about {{p|Terapagos}}. No sooner has the conversation ended when the [[Brave Olivine]], now fully repaired, arrives at the school to pick the children up. The group reunites with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] aboard the airship, and they set sail towards new adventures aboard their upgraded vessel.
[[File:Liko team HZ068.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her Pokémon waking up on the Brave Olivine]]
The next morning, Liko wakes up in her room and meets up with Roy and Dot atop the airship, where they see a {{p|Dragonite}} flying by. Interested to see what sort of upgrades the ship has received, despite still looking the same as before from the outside, the three of them decide to take a tour around the ship. Their first stop is the bridge, where they soon spot a big red button on the control panel, but [[Friede]] forbids them to press is, as it is something to only be used in an emergency. This makes Roy even more tempted to see what it does, but he manages to resist the temptation. They next stop by at the engine room, where [[Orla]] excitedly shows off some minor upgrades; the infirmary, where [[Mollie]] points out some upgrades her workspace has received as well; and the kitchen, which has experienced a big style change. {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} spots what he thinks are three pieces of sushi and tries to eat one, only for all of them to attack back and reveal themselves as a trio of {{p|Tatsugiri}}, which Roy scans with his [[Rotom Phone]]. Liko asks [[Murdock]] if they belong to him, but he says that the truth is more complicated than that. Before he can get into the details, however, the three Tatsugiri end up escaping the room, leaving the children and their Pokémon to follow after them around the airship. Finally, they stop to rest at the wing deck, declaring their tour a success. Friede approaches them with a briefcase containing [[Lucius]]'s belt, which he's now returning to Liko's care. {{an|Terapagos}} starts excitedly calling out at the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s attached to the belt. In response, {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}, and {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} all emerge from their respective balls and look at the children in a way that they interpret as a {{pkmn|battle}} challenge. While intimidated at the idea of battling against some of the [[Six Heroes]], their partner Pokémon's excitement wins them over, and they accept.

The Brave Olivine stops at a small rocky island in the middle of the ocean to allow the battle to occur. Liko and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} face Arboliva on the wing deck, Roy and Crocalor face Moltres on the island, and Dot and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} face Lapras near the shoreline. Floragato begins the confrontation by using {{m|Quick Attack}} to dodge Arboliva's blasts of oil before using {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Arboliva counters with the same move. Roy, meanwhile, gets Crocalor pumped up against the tough opponent and has him counter Moltres's {{m|Fiery Wrath}} with his own anger by using {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, successfully avoiding getting fatigued by the [[move]] before countering an {{m|Air Slash}} with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Dot, at her end, has Quaxwell dodge Lapras's {{m|Ice Beam}}s with his graceful steps. Liko uses the cloud of leaves created by the Magical Leaf clash to have Floragato wrap her vine around Arboliva's arm and strike the {{pkmn|category|Olive Pokémon}} with a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] display of {{m|Acrobatics}}. The hit triggers Arboliva's {{a|Seed Sower}} [[Ability]] and covers the field in a {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, which Liko takes as Arboliva telling her to hit harder. At the same time, Crocalor is being sent flying by Moltres's {{m|Hurricane}}, but Roy manages to use this to his advantage by having Crocalor rise above Moltres and unleashing a supereffective {{m|Disarming Voice}} at the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. At the shoreline, Dot uses the field of ice created by Lapras to have Quaxwell quickly get closer to his opponent by skating on the ice and hitting Lapras with a supereffective {{m|Low Kick}}.
[[File:Dot team HZ068.png|thumb|250px|Dot as Nidothing showing off her newly evolved Pokémon]]
Liko, Roy, and Dot decide to press forward by using their [[Tera Orb]]s, {{Tera}}stallizing their respective partners and attacking with Magical Leaf, {{m|Flame Charge}}, and {{m|Liquidation}}. While the boosted moves make contact, their opponents are hardly fazed by them, showing how strong Lucius's Pokémon are. While Liko, Roy, and Dot are determined to keep going, Terapagos suddenly calls out to everyone, signaling an end to the battle and making the hero Pokémon return to their respective Ancient Poké Balls. As the Brave Olivine resumes its journey, the three children thank both the hero Pokémon and their partners for a good battle. Friede also compliments the three young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, noting that they too have evolved, in addition to their partners. With this test of strength now completed, Friede declares that they'll now head to the land of Kitakami to find out more about Terapagos and continue their search for the rest of the Six Heroes. Terapagos is happy to hear this, but then seems to sense something and silently gazes in the direction they're heading at.

At the [[Explorers]] base, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] meet up with [[Amethio]]. Despite Amethio having been dismissed from every mission now, his subordinates insist on staying by his side as his comrades. Feeling grateful, Amethio gladly accepts their loyalty and lets them continue following him. Later, Friede gazes out the bridge's window, happy to see that the upgraded Brave Olivine has managed to reach Kitakami in one flight. Meanwhile, a [[Photography|photographer]] named [[Perrin]] is looking for Pokémon to take pictures of, when {{TP|Lucius|a dark shadow|Kleavor}} suddenly moves past her camera's field of vision, surprising her.

==Plot==
By [[Liko]]'s request, [[Rystal]] starts recounting the tale of the [[Explorers]] and [[Laqua]], starting with how she had first met [[Lucius]].

Running away from a group of thieves, Rystal and {{p|Terapagos}} are saved by Lucius, who scares the thieves away with [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. At the sight of Terapagos, Lucius becomes intrigued by it and notes that he's never seen one before, with Rystal revealing she had first met it within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], affectionately referring to it by the [[nickname]] "[[Pagogo]]". Later, Lucius shows Rystal the [[Scarlet Book]] and [[Heath]]'s tale of meeting Terapagos, though Rystal still continues to refer to her partner by its nickname. When Lucius expresses his desire to find the mythical paradise Laqua, Rystal announces she'll join him on his adventure. During their journey, Lucius meets {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}, {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}, and [[Lucius's Gouging Fire|Entei]], which join him on his travels. When Lucius and Rystal stop in a town to ask people for information about Laqua, most of them chalk it off as a mere fairy tale. However, one man, [[Gibeon]], has gathered plenty of data pertaining to Laqua and fully believes in its existence as well. Seeing a fellow person seeking Laqua, Lucius invites him to join them. Accompanied by Gibeon and his [[White Zygarde]], the three adventures name themselves the Explorers and embark on a long adventure together, which ultimately leads to them finding Laqua.

In Laqua, the three Explorers find themselves surrounded by a paradise where many Pokémon, including [[Legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}, live in peaceful harmony. Interested to discover what has allowed this kind of place to become reality, they venture deeper into the paradise. The further they go, however, the more desolate and withered the landscape around them grows, until they ultimately discover a cluster of [[Laquium|pink crystals]], which Terapagos reacts aggressively towards. Examining the crystals, Gibeon can tell that they contain incredible amounts of energy. Lucius sees that while the crystals could be what has allowed Laqua to bloom, they can also be a burden to the paradise and declares that they're leaving Laqua, not wanting to risk causing anything dangerous by meddling with forces beyond natural laws. While he and Rystal return to the base camp, Gibeon, refusing to deny the existence of his discovery, starts excavating more of the crystals with Zygarde, causing quakes that attract Lucius and Rystal back to the site. Gibeon is overjoyed by what he has discovered, even as a pink mist spreading out from the crystals starts causing trees to wither and [[wild Pokémon]] to go on feral rampages.

Fearing that these effects could threaten the entire {{pkmn|world}} if allowed to spread, Lucius and his Pokémon rise to the occasion and try to stop the crystals, but nothing they do is able to contain them. Even as Zygarde rebels against its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and attempts to contain the crystals with its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]], reverting to its {{form|Zygarde|10% Forme}} in the process, the endless power of the crystals continues to spread. A chasm opens beneath Gibeon's feet, and he plummets down before Lucius or Rystal can save him. Witnessing Lucius's determination, Rystal also refuses to give up. In response, Terapagos transforms into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, surrounds Lucius's Pokémon in balls of light, and rises to the sky with them, containing the area within a large energy dome. Lucius is caught within the dome, but he stays calm, promising that he will stay alive so that they can someday meet again in Laqua. He tells Rystal to leave and asks her to protect their future. Moments later, the crystals within the dome explode and cover everything within in their mist, scattering Lucius's Pokémon in the process. Terapagos, meanwhile, having expended all of its power, falls down before Rystal in its dormant jewel form.

Concluding her tale, Rystal recounts how she had subsequently left Laqua in order to protect [[Leila]], whom she had been expecting at the time. Not wanting the tragedies that occurred in Laqua to happen again, she intends to tell her daughter nothing about Lucius. She doesn't feel the need to be remembered, just wanting Leila to live as a proof that she and Lucius did exist. Looking at Lucius's Pokémon, she apologizes for not being able to look for them, but is still glad that the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have managed to find them. [[Friede]] recounts how they've found them scattered around [[Kanto]], [[Paldea]], [[Galar]], and [[Kitakami]], while Liko assures that each of them had been cherishing Lucius's {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s, still wanting to keep the promise they had made with him. Thinking back to all the visions of Lucius she's seen, Liko comes to understand that they must've been Terapagos's memories from when it and Rystal were traveling together with Lucius. Friede asks for Rystal to tell them where Laqua is, but unfortunately, she doesn't know, as they had been led there by Rayquaza and the others after being adrift at sea for several days, and on her journey back, she had been picked up by a large ship. She speculates that Gibeon could know where it is, but before Liko can tell her what happened to him, a shining light surrounds Rystal, signifying that her time in the future is coming to an end. She expresses her gratefulness at having gotten to see the future that Lucius wanted to protect and tells Liko to take care of Terapagos for her as its partner. With one final "thank you", she and Leila vanish back to where they came from.

Terapagos, saddened by Rystal's departure, starts to cry heartily, so Liko takes it into a comforting hug, promising to reach Laqua with it. Once Terapagos has stopped crying, it starts looking at Liko in a pleading way. Understanding what Terapagos wants, Friede hands Liko an empty {{i|Poké Ball}}. Feeling grateful for the chance of having gotten to meet Terapagos, Liko holds out the Poké Ball. Terapagos excitedly taps the ball and is sucked into it. A few shakes later, Terapagos has been officially {{pkmn2|caught}}. Liko lets the {{pkmn|category|Tera Pokémon}} back out and happily embraces it, addressing it by the nickname that Rystal had given to it.

The next day, [[Diana]] announces that she'll be leaving. With what she learned last night, her adventures regarding the pendant have finally come to an end. She admits that she had genuinely not known of Lucius and Rystal being her grandparents, having never even learned Rystal's name before due to her having died young. Now she intends to travel wherever her heart takes her, though she does promise to come to the Rising Volt Tacklers' help if they ever happen to be in a pinch. Once Diana and her {{p|Arcanine}} have disappeared into the distance, Liko, her friends, and Friede set their sights on locating the last two members of the [[Six Heroes]], Entei and the Black Rayquaza, in order to reach Laqua and see what it is like now. Trying to figure out how to find the two elusive Pokémon, Friede suddenly remembers [[Wy-Yes|a person]] who could possibly help them.

At the [[Exceed]] office building in [[Levincia]], [[Chalce]] enters a dark room where [[Spinel]] is working on a computer. They've managed to keep their activities as a secret from [[Hamber]], though they can't help but notice that [[Amethio]] has continued his own activities despite having been suspended from all missions. Spinel feels concerned about this, but remains determined on his goal, intending to be the one to reach Laqua alongside Gibeon.

==Plot==
Following the appearance of [[Diana]]'s {{p|Squawkabilly}} outside her window, [[Liko]], her friends, and [[Friede]] follow it to find Diana herself in [[Brave Olivine]]'s kitchen. Having heard of their current location in [[Kitakami]] from [[Lucca]], she had ridden her {{p|Arcanine}} all the way there to reach them, as she has something important to share with them: new information about [[Lucius]]. Before sharing it, however, she challenges her granddaughter to a [[Pokémon battle]]. As such, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] gather on the wing deck to witness the showdown. Diana declares that this time, she won't hold back. Liko remembers how [[HZ033|last time]], even her and [[Roy]] working together had only been enough to barely land a single hit on Arcanine. This time, though, she and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} are feeling much more confident about their chances, despite being at a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|type disadvantage}}.
[[File:Liko Floragato vs Diana Arcanine.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko's Floragato battling Diana's Arcanine]]
The battle begins with Liko ordering a {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Arcanine avoids the [[Move|attack]] with {{m|Extreme Speed}}, which Liko has Floragato take head-on while the Magical Leaf {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|curves around}} and strikes Arcanine anyway while it was briefly immobilized. Arcanine follows up with {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Floragato dodges it and hits Arcanine with {{m|Acrobatics}}. She continues to execute this same maneuver repeatedly afterwards, avoiding being hit while slowly building up [[damage]] on Arcanine. Diana is happy to see how far Floragato has come since their last battle, but then assumes a more serious expression and shouts out a passionate command for a {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The strong {{type|Fire}} attack grazes Floragato as she tries to avoid it, but she still manages to get up. Diana orders another Flare Blitz, but Floragato manages to hit Arcanine first with {{m|Sucker Punch}}, cancelling out the attack. This, however, ends up only benefitting Arcanine, as being hit by a {{type|Dark}} move has triggered its [[Ability]], {{a|Justified}}, boosting its strength. While nervous, Liko declares that they can grow stronger too and {{Tera}}stallizes Floragato. Diana orders one more Flare Blitz from Arcanine. Knowing that Magical Leaf will burn up if she just fires it off, Liko looks for an opening. Spotting Arcanine's feet, Liko has Floragato attack them with Magical Leaf, successfully making Arcanine stumble and fall over, which she capitalizes on by ordering a big Magical Leaf, which is enough to defeat Arcanine. Diana is happy to see how much Liko has improved in such a short amount of time, which she attributes to her friends pushing her forward during the [[Tera Training]] course. As promised, Diana now agrees to show the information she discovered about Lucius.

In the Brave Olivine's conference room, Diana starts out by showing everyone a photo of her in her youth alongside her friend [[Hamber]], whom she used to go on adventures with. A year ago, they had met up again for the first time in ages. While Hamber had claimed to just want to go on adventures again, she had found out that he was actually after Liko's pendant. As such, she had told Lucca to keep Liko safe, which, in turn, had led to her hiring the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect Liko and bring her safely back home to [[Paldea]], which is how Liko's own adventure [[HZ001|had]] [[HZ002|started]]. Getting to a more important part, Diana explains how, back when her [[Ancient castle|castle hideout]] was [[HZ025|attacked]], she had met Hamber again and learned that he was a member of the [[Explorers]]. This information had shocked her, since the Explorers were originally founded by none other than Lucius, shocking everyone else too, since they can't picture the Explorers being anything but ruthlessly villainous. Finding out the origins of the Explorers had been the reason why Diana had [[HZ034|left the Brave Olivine]], which she had requested Friede to keep as a secret. Since history books only contain a few scant mentions of the team, she had visited towns that Lucius was said to have visited a hundred years ago and talked with old people who had lived in those places for a long time. From the legends they could tell and diaries they could show to her, she had discovered accounts of people who had met Lucius and his friends.

Diana brings out another old photo that showcases the three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who originally formed the Explorers: Lucius, [[Rystal]], and [[Gibeon]]. Liko and her friends remember Rystal's name from the vision of the past that {{DL|Six Heroes|Kleavor}} had [[HZ073|showed to them]]. As for Gibeon, Friede has no idea who he is. To everyone else's surprise, though, Liko recognizes the name, [[HZ065|having heard of him]] from [[Amethio]] and learned about him being the leader of the Explorers and his grandfather. The Rising Volt Tacklers are confused as to how Gibeon could still be alive after a hundred years, but regardless, someone of that name is now using the name of Lucius's team and leading the Explorers. For one last piece of information that Diana has discovered, she reveals that Gibeon is the board chairman of the company [[Exceed]]. Friede reveals to the rest of the team how he used to work as a researcher for Exceed and had [[HZ054|recently investigated it]] while the Brave Olivine was being repaired, discovering that the company had done research on a substance called [[Laquium]], which has a strange effect on Pokémon. However, he hadn't been aware that the company even had a board chairman, though he can remember his boss, [[Cervantis]], mentioning that there are people even above him in the company's hierarchy. Diana confirms that she hadn't been able to find anyone from Exceed who'd have actually met Gibeon, either. This means that Gibeon has been using Exceed to research Laquium, while the Explorers are trying to reach [[Laqua]]. Given the similarities in the names of the substance and the location, the Rising Volt Tacklers quickly deduce that the two are connected, and that the Explorers are trying to get their hands on Laqua's Laquium.
[[File:Rystal Crystal Pool.png|thumb|right|250px|Rystal appearing at the Crystal Pool]]
Over an impromptu snack break, everyone reviews the results of their discussion. While some questions still remain unanswered, they've gotten much closer to figuring things out now by pooling their information together. Friede, in particular, is curious to learn more about Rystal. Seeing {{an|Terapagos}} react to Rystal's name with a longing expression, Liko declares that she wants to revisit the [[Crystal Pool]] and see if its rumored power of letting one meet those who have died could allow them to meet Rystal. Agreeing to Liko's idea, she, her friends, Friede, and Diana travel to the Crystal Pool, arriving there after sunset. Under the starry sky, everyone prays for them to get to meet Rystal, with Terapagos calling out to her. A few moments later, the Crystal Pool indeed reacts to their plea and starts to glow brightly. As the light dies down, a woman carrying a baby appears in front of them. Terapagos excitedly approaches her, even as she tries to understand where she is. She does confirm herself to be Rystal when Liko asks for her name, but Liko doesn't manage to nervously stutter out much beyond her own name before [[Six Heroes|Lucius's Pokémon]] emerge from their {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s. Rystal recognizes them, but is now even more confused as to why Liko would have them. As Liko's nervousness keeps her from getting the words out, Friede steps in and explains that the Rising Volt Tacklers are searching for the Six Heroes so that Terapagos can regain its power and they can reach Laqua. He also reveals to Rystal that that the power of the Crystal Pool has [[Time travel|brought her into the future]] to meet them. Rystal understands and believes the explanation, given that they have Lucius's Pokémon and her former partner Pagogo with them. Liko and her friends are surprised to learn that Terapagos's Trainer was Rystal and not Lucius, like they had assumed.

The baby in Rystal's arms starts to cry, and she does her best to comfort her, addressing her as [[Leila]]. This name catches Diana off-guard, since Leila was actually the name of her mother. This means that Diana herself is Rystal's granddaughter, which, in turn, makes Liko her great-great-granddaughter. While initially angry at being called old, Rystal quickly calms down, saying that she can finally understand why Terapagos is with them, since her child's father is actually Lucius. The group is now in even more shock following this revelation, although none more so than Liko, who is practically panicking after learning that the ancient adventurer Lucius is her great-great-grandfather.

==Plot==
[[File:Lucius Kleavor and Lapras handshake.png|thumb|left|250px|Lapras and Kleavor greeting each other]]
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], [[Friede]], and [[Perrin]] continue their search for {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} of the [[Six Heroes]] on [[Tengu Mountain]]. As they keep finding more gouges that Kleavor has left behind, Liko dons [[Lucius]]'s belt. The group arrives at a waterfall, where they witness a tree falling down it being sliced apart in an instant, with Kleavor revealing itself from behind the waterfall only moments later. Unexpectedly, {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} releases itself from its {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} and glares at Kleavor. Liko suddenly realizes why the gouges left behind by Kleavor have looked familiar to her; they are identical to the scars on Lapras's neck, meaning that it received those wounds from Kleavor. The two members of the Six Heroes start fighting each other, forcing the group to take cover as the two powerful Pokémon exchange blow after blow. However, the battle soon ends as suddenly as it started, leading the group to a relieving realization that them fighting was just their way of greeting each other. With Kleavor calmed down for the moment, Liko addresses it and asks it to join them so they can fulfill Lucius's promise and reach [[Laqua]]. Following a moment of contemplation, Kleavor disappears behind the waterfall again. Lapras solemnly [[Recall|returns]] to its Ancient Poké Ball, but both Liko and Roy remain determined to continue the pursuit.

Perrin figures out that there must be something behind the waterfall if Kleavor disappeared there. Roy, upon inspection, indeed finds a hidden cave entrance behind the waterfall. The group enters the hidden limestone cave, where they discover even more gouge marks. Friede deduces that the systematic marks must be signs of Kleavor having trained in the cave. While the group traverses through the cave, Perrin's {{p|Growlithe}} gets distracted by a {{p|Noibat}}, forcing Perrin and Friede to chase after it, leaving the children to continue the pursuit on their own. Following a breeze coming from outside, they find themselves in a bamboo grove, where the ground is littered with pieces of bamboo cut up by Kleavor, which they spot in front of them doing just that. Kleavor turns to face them, which they take as an invitation to a {{pkmn|battle}} to test their strength. Not wanting to let Kleavor get away while they wait for Friede, the children call forth their respective [[first partner Pokémon]] and begin the confrontation.

The group's first wave of attacks comes in the form of {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}'s {{m|Air Cutter}}, but Kleavor blocks each of them with ease without even moving from the spot where it's standing. Next, they try more direct attacks with {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|Flame Charge}}, and {{m|Liquidation}}, but Kleavor easily shrugs the hits off. Dot decides the best strategy is to keep dodging Kleavor's attacks and build up [[damage]] on it over time. As such, the group repeats their previous attacks a couple times, before an unfazed Kleavor suddenly disappears deeper into the grove, prompting the children and their Pokémon to pursue. The partner Pokémon surround Kleavor and try to attack it again, only for it to easily avoid all of them and send them tumbling to the ground, leaving them wide open for the receiving end of a powerful {{m|X-Scissor}} attack. Dot is horrified when she realizes that Kleavor wasn't trying to flee from them earlier, but was purposefully luring them to this spot, where the obstructing bamboo works to its advantage, allowing it to avoid incoming attacks based on sound alone. With their Pokémon unable to land a single hit on their opponent, they decide on a tactical retreat, but Kleavor raises a ring of stone pillars around the area, keeping them trapped in the unfavorable fight.

[[File:Lucius Kleavor Stone Axe.png|thumb|250px|Kleavor using Stone Axe]]
The children are forced to keep fighting, though their attacks are still failing to land. Roy has Crocalor express his determination by building up a lot of heat for a Flame Charge. Before the attack can go off, though, the heat of the flames causes some bamboo pieces at Crocalor's feet to pop apart, startling Crocalor and even grabbing Kleavor's attention. Examining the bamboo pieces that Kleavor had cut apart, Roy gets an idea, having Crocalor build up another Flame Charge and run rapidly in circles around Kleavor. Roy explains that [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]] had taught him how there's air trapped between bamboo nodes. When exposed to the heat of fire, this air will expand and eventually cause the bamboo pieces to burst open. With bamboo pieces loudly snapping open all around it, Kleavor's focus is completely thrown off, leaving it unable to predict where incoming attacks are coming from and allowing the group's Pokémon to finally land proper hits on it. This situation soon forces Kleavor itself to make a tactical retreat, climbing outside the ring of stone pillars, where Friede and Perrin have just found their way out of the cave. The group breaks through the stone pillars and launches another series of attacks at Kleavor. Before the attacks can hit, however, Kleavor launches a powerful counterattack with a move that Friede identifies as {{m|Stone Axe}}. While the power of this attack intimidates the children, Liko realizes that Kleavor resorting to using its best moves means that it's feeling cornered. Reassured by this realization, Liko pulls out her [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallizes Floragato. Roy and Dot follow her example and Terastallize their own partner Pokémon as well. Powered by Terastallization, the three partner Pokémon power through another Stone Axe to deal a trio of heavy hits on Kleavor. Kleavor falls on its knee, but the group's celebration is cut short when Kleavor still manages to smack them back, the damage from the Stone Axe's splinters being enough to defeat them, though Kleavor too is left stumbling from exhaustion.

[[File:Lucius and Kleavor.png|thumb|left|250px|Kleavor's first meeting with Lucius]]
Once the group has finished healing their Pokémon, Kleavor stands up and motions the group to follow it. The {{pkmn|category|Axe Pokémon}} leads the group out of the bamboo grove and onto a cliff that provides a view of [[Oni Mountain]] in the distance. While the group admires the breathtaking sunset view, Kleavor smashes open a nearby boulder, revealing an Ancient Poké Ball. As with other of Lucius's Pokémon, Kleavor releases a shining sphere of light from its body, which envelops the group and transports them into a vision of the past, showcasing Lucius defending a tied-up Kleavor from a group of angry villagers. Lucius frees Kleavor from its bonds, but when it still tries to attack him, Lapras emerges and takes the hit for Lucius, producing the scars seen on its neck. Lucius recognizes that Kleavor's rampage hasn't ended yet, so he invites it to test its strength on an adventure to discover a paradise he's searching for. After a moment of consideration, Kleavor accepts and enters one of Lucius's Ancient Poké Balls, becoming his Pokémon. Smiling happily, Lucius addresses an individual named [[Rystal]] and tells them it's time to go. The vision fades away, and while the group wonders who Rystal could be, Kleavor returns to its Ancient Poké Ball, which Liko happily picks up. Friede figures that Kleavor must have been waiting all this time for someone whom it could trust and travel with in order to use its well-honed strength to aid its allies once more.

Heading down the mountain, Perrin informs the group that she'll be heading off now, the numerous photos she's taken with them having provided her with plenty of motivation to continue her career as a [[Photography|photographer]]. She promises to not publish any images of {{an|Terapagos}} or Kleavor and looks forward to witnessing how much the children have grown when they meet again, before waving them goodbye. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede, meanwhile, return to the [[Brave Olivine]] to report their discoveries to the rest of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. The next day, while in her room, Liko hears a knock on the window and is surprised to see [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s {{p|Squawkabilly}}.

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], [[Friede]], and [[Perrin]] are heading up [[Tengu Mountain]] on the search for [[Lucius's Kleavor]], with Dot struggling as per usual due to her lack of stamina. When the group takes a brief break from climbing to talk about Perrin's [[Photography|photo]] of Kleavor, Perrin tells the others how she has had passion and talent for Pokémon photography since she was a child, which helped to inspire her to become a world-travelling professional photographer as a career. Perrin mentions how [[Friede]]'s map app has actually helped her in tracking down various Pokémon for photographing in her career, much to Frides's delight. Perrin tells the group that unfortunately she doesn't remember exactly where on Tengu Mountain she encountered Kleavor, as it immediately attacked her and sent her fleeing. Liko and Roy suggest they explore the mountain to track down Kleavor's location anyway, so the group continues on their way. Perrin tells Friede if it's okay for school kids like Liko, Roy, and Dot to be on such a dangerous quest, to which Friede replies that they are evolving and getting stronger, just like their Pokémon, and that they can handle themselves.

The group heads into a nearby rocky clearing, where {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} gets hungry and reaches out for a [[Sitrus Berry]] resting on the ground, only for him and Roy to fall into a sinkhole, leaving them trapped at the bottom of a small fissure. While both of the survive the fall just fine, they have no way of climbing back up. Spotting a cave entrance, Roy tells the others above that he and Crocalor will find another way out. While Roy and Crocalor enter the cave, aboveground, the others are suddenly surrounded by a vicious pack of {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Houndour}}, who start attacking them for entering their territory. Friede sends forth [[Captain Pikachu]] and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} to fend the pack off. Liko and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} briefly fend off some of the {{pkmn|category|Dark Pokémon}} chasing after them as well, leaving Dot and Perrin to run on ahead. When Liko runs after them, she unknowingly ends up running down a different path than they did.

When Dot and Perrin stop to notice that Liko isn't with them, Perrin gets the feeling she's been to this part of the woods before. Before she can remember more, though, a {{p|Trevenant}} appears before them and uses {{m|Confuse Ray}}, leaving them hypnotized and walking in a circle, unable to answer when Liko tries to call them. Fortunately for them, {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} stumbles on a pebble and is released from his trance, proceeding then to slap the others to snap them awake too. Perrin suddenly remembers what happened to her earlier, spotting Trevenant and realizing she had fallen for its Confuse Ray before as well. Trevenant blocks their escape routes by controlling the surrounding trees, leaving the duo with no choice but to {{pkmn|battle}}. After closing their eyes to avoid another Confuse Ray, Dot tells Perrin to have her {{p|Growlithe}} use {{m|Ember}} on her mark. Combined with Quaxwell's {{m|Water Gun}}, this combination creates a cloud of steam that blocks Trevenant's field of vision and leaves it open for an {{m|Air Cutter}} from Quaxwell. Overwhelmed, the {{2t|Ghost|Grass}} type [[Escape|flees]] in panic. Meanwhile, Roy and Crocalor discover an underwater stream with {{Berries}} floating down on its surface. Realizing the Berries must be coming from outside, they head upstream and find themselves in a grove filled with Berry trees.

Elsewhere, Friede and his Pokémon have just managed to send the pack of Houndoom and Houndour fleeing in defeat, so they head out to find the others. Meanwhile, Liko and Floragato keep finding slash marks left behind by Kleavor, some fresher than the others. Unsure whether Kleavor is leaving them behind as leads or a warning, Liko sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and asks her to use her emotion sensing powers to see if she can sense any strong negative emotions on the mountain. Hattrem does so and remains calm, which means Kleavor must be calm too. Elsewhere, thanks to Dot identifying a specific plant in Perrin's photo of Kleavor, she's able to direct the group towards the place where it is known to grow, located near a rock formation that resembles a {{p|Dugtrio}}. Watching Dot, Perrin can't help but notice how Friede's statement of the children evolving is really showing in the growth of Liko and her friends as {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Meanwhile, Roy and Crocalor proceed to climb a cliff face using some vines, only to be attacked by a territorial {{pkmn2|wild}} duo of {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Mandibuzz}} midway through. Roy sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and has Crocalor ride on it to even the odds. Shiftry attacks with {{m|Whirlwind}}, but this only end up powering up Kilowattrel, who uses {{m|Spark}} to attack the duo, though unintentionally also {{status|paralyzing}} Crocalor in the process. Roy doesn't give up, however, and has Kilowattrel dodge Shiftry and Mandibuzz's attacks and circle back around them, allowing Crocalor to use a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Disarming Voice}} to finish their opponents off and send the two Pokémon fleeing.

Perrin and Dot reach the correct location first, with Dot reflecting on how she never really liked going outdoors to explore the world until now, and that meeting new people and Pokémon has changed her outlook on life for the better. Perrin also reflects on her own slump in taking simple photographs, and how catching a glimpse of Kleavor had inspired her to take more creative photos in her career. She then encourages Dot by stating how her adventures with her Pokémon are something worth cherishing. The rest of the group soon reaches the area as well, surrounded by trees and rocks covered in slash marks, including the Dugtrio Rock. Friede points out to Perrin how the children managed to forge their own paths up the mountain to reunite with each other, showcasing their "evolution" as a group. As the group moves on ahead, Kleavor appears behind them, looking at them from atop the Dugtrio Rock without them noticing. {{an|Terapagos}} senses its presence and peeks out of Liko's [[bag]], only for Kleavor to have already disappeared.
