'''Siskel''' (Japanese: '''マモル''' ''Mamoru'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]''.

==History==
Siskel met [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Ludlow]] while they were exploring [[Olivine City]], trying to find information on {{DL|Six Heroes|Gouging Fire|Entei}}. Siskel was cleaning his boat when Roy called out to him, only to run inside his store where an {{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Man of the Sea VS Sharpedo|old film}} featuring [[Ludlow|Guy Silver]] started playing on TV, as he was a big fan. Roy tried to show him a photo they had [[HZ042|taken]] with Mighty G, believing Guy Silver and Mighty G to be one and the same person, but Siskel refused to believe them. Siskel then took the group to the nearby [[Whirl Islands]], but while exploring, a trio of {{p|Tatsugiri}} from the [[Brave Olivine]] got trapped by the whirlpools. Unaware that Ludlow was actually Mighty G, Siskel stopped him from becoming Mighty G, only to be distracted when Ludlow's {{p|Quagsire}} appeared, allowing Ludlow to slip away. Siskel watched as Mighty G along with his {{p|Sharpedo}} helped to save the Tatsugiri and got to meet Mighty G for himself.

Returning to Olivine City, he met the other members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], and on learning they were looking for Entei, gave them a location of somewhere to look.

==Blurb==

The Rising Volt Tacklers have finally set a course for Laqua, with the black Rayquaza leading the way. As they approach a towering mountain, they see a town and decide to land to search for more information. They encounter a young boy named Yuha who insists that the black Rayquaza only brings disaster, so Friede meets with Yuha’s great-great-grandmother to find out the truth. Meanwhile, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Yuha become trapped in a cave by a swarm of territorial Vibrava. After the young Trainers escape, the Rising Volt Tacklers regroup to resume their trek—could Laqua be just around the corner?

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

In Pericarp 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, however, Yuha blames them, 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 [[Mount Pericarp]], 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 Pericarp 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 Mount Pericarp, 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.

* [[Friede]] learns more about [[Gibeon]]'s past after the [[HZ075|events]] in [[Laqua]].

==Blurb==

At the Explorers’ headquarters, Gibeon tells Spinel, Chalce, Sidian, and Coral to prepare for departure for Laqua so they can ambush the Rising Volt Tacklers there. Meanwhile, Amethio, Onia, and Zirc sneak into Spinel’s laboratory at Exceed to look for information about Laquium, but they’re discovered by guards and locked up. When Hamber arrives, Amethio demands to know the truth: what is Laquium, and what really happened between Gibeon and Lucius in Laqua?

==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 about 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 [[Maria (Horizons)|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 [[Pericarp 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 Pericarp Town to get to Laqua.

==Blurb==

As Gouging Fire reunites with Lucius’s other Pokémon and Terapagos, the final member of the Six Heroes suddenly appears! The black Rayquaza descends from the sky, finally agreeing to a rematch with Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede. The Trainers and their Pokémon give it their all and strategically attack Rayquaza, but the Legendary Pokémon remains strong. Pagogo then steps forward to join the battle—will our heroes triumph and be able to catch Rayquaza?

==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]].
[[File:Dot Tinkatuff and Quaxwell.png|thumb|left|250px|Dot and her Pokémon battling the Black Rayquaza]]
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 {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} unleashes another Draco Meteor shower, 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 [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] 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 {{a|Tera Shift|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 [[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 it doesn't work, and 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.

==Blurb==

After spending the night in Area Zero, the Rising Volt Tacklers and Briar arrive at the place where Entei was last sighted. And right on time, Entei itself appears! Pagogo begins resonating with it, confirming that it’s one of the Six Heroes, but Liko and the others are puzzled because its appearance is somewhat different than the Entei they met in Johto. Liko asks Entei to join them on their journey to Laqua, but it takes Lucius’s belt, challenging the Trainers to a battle to get it back. As Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede strategize, Briar comes to a surprising conclusion—this Pokémon isn’t Entei!

==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}}ed 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. To heal Quaxwell's burn, Friede hands Dot a [[Burn Heal]]. Using {{m|Magical Leaf}}, Stomping Tantrum, and {{m|Water Gun}}, the three [[first partner 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 causes 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 {{p|Sandy Shocks|the strange-looking}} {{p|Magneton}} from [[HZ080|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==

* [[Dot's Quaxwell]] learns {{m|Aqua Cutter}}.

==Blurb==

After defeating Geeta in battle, Liko, Roy, and Dot are finally allowed to enter the Great Crater of Paldea! Accompanied by Friede and Briar, they begin descending a long pathway to their destination—the place where an Entei was supposedly last seen. Briar warns the others to be careful around Paradox Pokémon, but Roy and Crocalor soon get caught up in battle with one that looks like a Magneton with hair! Meanwhile, Sidian is exasperated as Coral runs off, putting aside their mission to spy on the Rising Volt Tacklers. She and Glalie encounter a strange-looking Jigglypuff with a horrible scream—but is it friend or foe?

==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 "Screamypuff", 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 throwing a {{i|Poké Ball}} and catching Scream Tail, 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 "Screamypuff". 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.

==Blurb==

The Rising Volt Tacklers have returned to Paldea to ask Pokémon League Chairwoman Geeta for permission to visit Area Zero so they can search for Entei. After Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede tell Geeta and the Elite Four about their journey, Geeta agrees to give Friede access to the restricted area. Our young heroes are disappointed, but Geeta listens to their pleas and decides to test their skills with a battle. She warns them that she doesn’t hold back in battle, then sends out two Glimmet and a Glimmora—Pokémon found in Area Zero. Can the trio defeat the odds and the Top Champion of Paldea?

==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 on 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 aggressiveness 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==

After hearing that Entei was sighted off the coast of Johto, the Rising Volt Tacklers set out to a cluster of islands that could be home to volcanic activity. Sure enough, the group finds an undersea volcano, and as it begins to erupt toward the water’s surface, Entei appears! Liko tries to talk to Entei about the Six Heroes and Laqua, but it rebuffs her, so Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede all team up to battle the Legendary Pokémon. After a tough fight, Entei concedes, but it doesn’t seem to recognize Terapagos… Could this really be Entei of the Six Heroes?

==Plot==
After interviewing people around [[Olivine City]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have gathered a comprehensive map of reported {{p|Entei}} sightings, the most recent of which have occurred around an archipelago off the coast. The first island they arrive to investigate has no Pokémon on it at all. [[Dot]] wonders if this could be a sign of an imminent volcanic eruption, but [[Friede]] calms the children down, examining a rock and finding no telltale signs of volcanic activity. Friede receives a call from [[Murdock]], and the team gathers to see a beached {{p|Huntail}} that [[Ludlow]] found. While [[Mollie]] treats Huntail and takes it back into the sea, everyone wonders why a Pokémon that normally lives on the seabed would be beached on a shore. When Dot suggests that it might've been fleeing from something, Friede gets an idea. Reboarding the [[Brave Olivine]], he takes them to the site of a {{wp|submarine volcano}}, reasoning that Entei, being a Pokémon heavily associated with volcanoes, will eventually show up here.

[[File:Entei Moon.png|thumb|left|250px|Entei appearing on a clifftop]]
The wait stretches deep into the night. Just as Murdock brings Friede and [[Captain Pikachu]] some coffee to stay awake, a loud roar echoes across the archipelago, waking up the sleeping members of the crew and making them rush to the bridge. Seeing schools of Pokémon fleeing from the area, Friede hurriedly tells Murdock to turn the airship away, getting out of the way just in time as the submarine volcano erupts. Soon, a new island stands in the place of the formerly submarine volcano. Seeing the eruption as a sign of Entei's presence, Friede has Murdock land the airship on a neighboring island, where [[Liko]], [[Roy]], Dot, and Friede disembark it. No sooner has Friede sent his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} off to guard the airship that Entei appears on a nearby clifftop. The group tries calling out to it, but only receive fierce roars in response. Seeing that Entei is not in the mood to hear them out, they decide to prove their strength to it first. Accepting their challenge, Entei leaps down to face them.

Since Entei is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, the group decides to use {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}'s {{t|Water}} [[move]]s and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s {{t|Ground}} move to attack, while {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} and Cap provide openings for them by distracting Entei. While the [[Paldea first partner Pokémon]] get briefly intimidated by the {{a|Pressure}} that Entei exerts, Cap keeps moving forward, though his {{m|Thunder Punch}} is easily dodged, and Cap himself is forced to dodge an incoming {{m|Sacred Fire}}. Not wanting to leave everyone vulnerable to Entei's flames by sticking together, Friede tells everyone to scatter around it. While Floragato blinds Entei with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, Quaxwell and Crocalor try to attack with {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, but Entei dodges both attacks and counters Cap's Thunder Punch with {{m|Fire Fang}}. Cap provides a distraction with {{m|Double Team}}, allowing Floragato and Quaxwell to hit Entei with {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Liquidation}}, but the [[Legendary Pokémon]] takes the hits without as much as flinching. Crocalor tries to attack next with Stomping Tantrum, only to find himself immobilized by Entei's {{m|Extrasensory}} and on the receiving end of a Sacred Fire attack. At the last second, however, Cap pushes Crocalor out of the way, taking the hit with his own body and suffering a {{status|burn}} as a result. Despite this, though, Cap is still able to keep going and uses Double Team again. However, all the Double Team clones are quickly dispatched by Entei's {{m|Eruption}}, which also threatens the other Pokémon. Quaxwell protects Floragato from the falling foaming rocks, only for both of them to be struck by Sacred Fire. Cap, still standing, follows up with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, despite the move's [[Recoil|risks]]. Although Quaxwell and Floragato are able to stop Entei's next Sacred Fire and allow Cap's attack to land, Entei still remains unflinching at everything that's being thrown at it. Roy is up next, telling Crocalor to use Stomping Tantrum. While uncertain at first against the overwhelming odds, Crocalor gains confidence from Cap's own determination and starts to attack, even pushing through another Extrasensory. When the first uses of Stomping Tantrum are dodged, the move's [[power]] grows stronger, and Crocalor is able to land the {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} hit, finally making Entei flinch.

[[File:Legendary Beasts Newborn Island.png|thumb|250px|Entei, Raikou, and Suicune celebrating the island's birth]]
Glancing at its adversaries, Entei nods its head, seeming to finally give the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s its approval. With Entei calmed down, Liko and [[Pagogo]] approach it, requesting it to join them and the rest of the [[Six Heroes]] so they can reach [[Laqua]]. Entei, however, remains unresponsive, to everyone's confusion. Moreover, unlike with every other hero Pokémon, Pagogo isn't resonating with Entei, nor are the Six Heroes on [[Lucius]]'s belt reacting in any way. Instead of displaying any sort of interest on Pagogo, Entei turns its gaze at the newborn island in the distance. A sudden lightning bolt strikes down on the volcanic island, making {{p|Raikou}} appear, while a shimmering aurora in the sky heralds the arrival of {{p|Suicune}}. Entei leaps over the sea between the islands to join its brethren, making the group awestruck at getting to witness all three of the [[Legendary beasts]] gathering in one place. As the morning sun starts rising over the horizon, the three Legendary Pokémon scatter and disappear as suddenly as they had appeared. Aboard the Brave Olivine, the group comes to realize that this Entei wasn't the one from the Six Heroes, after all, but they're still happy to have gotten to witness what they saw. Looking down at the newborn island, Liko speculates that the Legendary beasts had gathered to celebrate its birth.

[[File:Amethio Cervantis HZ078.png|thumb|left|250px|Amethio talking to his father]]
In [[Levincia]], [[Amethio]] is visiting [[Cervantis]]'s office at [[Exceed]], requesting for any information he has about [[Laquium]]. Without even making eye contact with him, Cervantis informs him that Chairman [[Gibeon]] has all the data about it. Solemnly accepting this, Amethio leaves the office. Moments later, [[Spinel]] enters the room. He comments on how much of handful Cervantis's son can be to him at his age, which Cervantis can't help but agree with.

Aboard the Brave Olivine, the Rising Volt Tacklers receive an unexpected call from [[Briar]], who informs them that an Entei, possibly the one they're looking for, has been sighted within [[Area Zero]]. She shows them a picture of a page from the [[Scarlet Book]], displaying a sketch of a Pokémon that bears some resemblance to Entei and was supposedly sighted within Area Zero. For her second piece of evidence, she shows them a brief clip from surveillance camera footage recorded within Area Zero, where a Pokémon resembling Entei is very briefly seen moving past. Excited at the possibility of finally receiving [[Geeta]]'s permission for her investigation into Area Zero, Briar wishes to see everyone back in [[Paldea]] and ends the call. With this new lead on their side, the Rising Volt Tacklers set the course back for Paldea in the hopes of finding Entei of the Six Heroes within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]].

==Blurb==

The Rising Volt Tacklers are in Olivine City in the Johto region, following up on a tip about the location of Entei. Olivine City is Ludlow’s hometown, and he is surprised to see how much it has changed. He accompanies Liko, Roy, and Dot as they ask the locals about Entei. Eventually, they meet Siskel, a huge fan of the actor Guy Silver, who starred in the “Versus Sharpedo” series of movies filmed in Olivine City. It seems that Guy Silver has since moved away from the city, but when the Tatsugiri from the Brave Olivine get into trouble, a suspiciously familiar superhero arrives to save the day…

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have arrived in [[Olivine City]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]] to search for {{DL|Six Heroes|Entei}}. As most of the crew (aside from [[Murdock]], who's staying behind to cook some local {{wp|Sushi#Chirashizushi|chirashizushi}}) heads out to search for clues, [[Liko]] can't help but notice how the [[Brave Olivine]] shares its name with the city they're in. [[HZ018|Remembering]] that it inherited its name from [[Ludlow]]'s fishing boat that it originally started out as, Ludlow himself confirms to her that Olivine City is his hometown. Liko and her friends start touring the city with Ludlow, but come find out that a lot has changed since his last visit, such as a shaved ice stall having made way for a [[Rotom Phone]] shop and a bookstore's location now being just an empty lot. Liko grows worried about how Ludlow feels about these changes, but to her relief, Ludlow actually comes to find these changes interesting, also revealing on the side that he considers every port he visits as his hometown. After some unsuccessful attempts at asking around for Entei sightings, the group sits down by the beach to rest. Liko takes the opportunity to ask what drove Ludlow into traveling beyond his hometown. The old man responds that he was curious to see what kind of Pokémon there were beyond the sea, making Liko feel that Ludlow could've been much like them when he was younger.

Spotting another old man on a nearby pier, the group goes to ask him about Entei, but before they can ask him anything, he suddenly rushes into a nearby house, followed by his {{p|Wooper}}. Following him, the group sees he's watching a movie on [[television]], with Ludlow joining him as the movie's hero, a muscular surfer named Guy Silver, confronts a {{p|Sharpedo}} at a beach. The man watching the television reveals that the city used to have a movie studio back in the day, which produced many movies, the cream of the crop of which was the "Versus Sharpedo" series, which started with the movie that's currently playing in front of them; ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Man of the Sea Versus Sharpedo}}''. Following two direct sequels, the following movies in the series started to include themes like romance, [[baseball]], and high school, with each of them still managing to include Sharpedo in the plot, much to Liko's bewilderment and [[Dot]]'s exasperation. Following the last movie of the series, the {{wp|zombie}} movie ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Chariots of Undead Fire Versus Sharpedo}}'', Guy Silver disappeared from the silver screen and hasn't been heard of since. Hoping that Guy Silver will someday return, the man, who introduces himself as [[Siskel]], has continued to follow the example of Guy Silver and his partner {{p|Quagsire}} to protect these shores with his Wooper. Going through the list of Guy Silver's movies, Dot notes that Quagsire doesn't appear in any of them, but Siskel reveals that despite this, it was still an irreplaceable part of them, using {{m|Surf}} to create waves to surf on if no good ones were available naturally. Viewing his phone's [[Photography|photo]] collection, [[Roy]] suddenly realizes that Guy Silver is actually Mighty G, the superhero whom the group met [[HZ042|a while back]]. Siskel, however, denies this, stubbornly refusing to believe that the movie hero he loves could've grown old. He then offers to take the group to visit the place where the first "Versus Sharpedo" movie was filmed at: the [[Whirl Islands]].

Meanwhile, aboard the Brave Olivine, Murdock is having his hands full in chasing the {{p|Tatsugiri}} trio, who have stolen his sushi tub as an act of mischief. When they eventually get away by diving overboard and into the sea, Murdock finally gives up and decides to just find a replacement. Seeing the three Tatsugiri floating away, Ludlow's Quagsire dives after them. At the Whirl Islands, while Siskel is busy fanboying over things on the island that were featured in Guy Silver's first movie, {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} notices the three Tatsugiri getting trapped in a {{OBP|whirlpool|obstacle}}, and alerts the others. Liko and her friends want to help, but none of their Pokémon are able to do so, with even {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}'s attempted sky rescue failing due to the swirling whirlpool making it dizzy. Siskel's Wooper dives in to help, but it too gets caught in the whirlpool. Ludlow's attempt to sneak away so he can change into his {{wp|alter ego}} is hampered by Siskel clinging to him and pleading for him to save Wooper. Fortunately for Ludlow, Siskel is distracted by the approaching Quagsire, allowing him to hide, change into Mighty G, and call out his Sharpedo. Riding Sharpedo, the hero of the sea soon appears before the group. Seeing Mighty G command Quagsire to use Surf and ride on the resulting wave, Siskel finally understands that he indeed is the same person as Guy Silver. Mighty G commands Sharpedo to use {{m|Whirlpool}}, which launches the Tatsugiri and Wooper away from the grasp of the swirling vortex, allowing him to rescue them. Realizing how close-minded he had been in refusing to accept change, Siskel admits that Guy Silver is still cool even as Mighty G and poses for a photo with him, before the hero returns to the sea from whence he arrived.

At sunset, the group returns to the mainland, with Ludlow suffering from back pain following his time as a hero. They are soon joined by [[Friede]], [[Mollie]], and [[Orla]], who admit that they failed to find out anything about Entei's whereabouts. Upon hearing Entei being mentioned, however, Siskel is able to tell them that one of the customers of his boat rent shop mentioned having seen one at a nearby archipelago, making it the next target for the Rising Volt Tacklers. After sunset, the crew returns to the Brave Olivine to enjoy Murdock's chirashizushi, which he was forced to prepare in a washtub after losing his sushi tub. Spotting Roy holding said tub, Murdock moves in to reclaim it from the Tatsugiri trio, resulting in a very chaotic mealtime.

==Blurb==

As the Rising Volt Tacklers begin their search for Entei of the Six Heroes, Friede knows someone who might have a scoop: Wyatt Yessler, a former crew member who now works as a Pokémon journalist. The group heads to a savanna to meet up with him, and Liko, Roy, and Dot go exploring in the meantime. They encounter an angry Farigiraf—and Wyatt Yessler! Back at the Brave Olivine, Mollie is not happy to see Yessler due to his penchant for telling tall tales. Accompanying the Rising Volt Tacklers as they investigate the Farigiraf from earlier, he just might up with the story of a lifetime!

==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 {{TP|Lucius|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.
[[File:Occulture anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Dot showing Liko and Roy a copy of Occulture]]
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 alerted 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.
[[File:Floragato Hattrem Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|Liko's Pokémon playing together on the Brave Olivine]]
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 Wy-Yes'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.

'''Layla''' (Japanese: '''レイラ''' ''Layla'') is a minor character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is the daughter of [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]], the mother of [[Diana]] and in turn [[Lucca]]'s grandmother and [[Liko]]'s great-grandmother.

==History==
[[File:Layla.png|thumb|left|250px|Layla as an adult (right) looking for her daughter [[Diana]]]]
===Pre-series===
Diana revealed that Layla was orphaned at a very young age, which meant she had little contact with her family history.

===''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''===
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', she was seen searching for her daughter in a flashback moments before Diana found the mysterious pendant that she would give to Liko years in the future.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'' and ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', she was summoned as a baby by {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} at the [[Crystal Pool]] alongside her mother, Rystal.

So far, no information about her in the present day has been revealed.

==Blurb==

The spirit of Lucius’s wife, Rystal, has appeared at the Crystal Pool, and Liko and Diana are shocked to learn they are descendants of the pair. Rystal shares her memories of meeting Lucius, whose love of Pokémon and determination to find Laqua led her to join his adventure. With Rayquaza by Lucius’s side and Terapagos by Rystal’s, they set out on their journey, and Lucius went on to catch the rest of his Pokémon partners. Then, Lucius and Rystal teamed up with Gibeon, officially forming the Explorers. They eventually reached Laqua and were awed by its natural beauty, but the lush paradise was hiding a terrible secret…

==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 {{OBP|Layla|Horizons}}, 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 Layla 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 [[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 Layla 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.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ075 title card.png|thumb|230px|Title card]]

** Not have any [[eyecatches]], instead having the [[series]] logo on a corner of the screen before and after the commercial break.
** Not have a [[bonus segment]] (in this case, [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]).
* This is the first episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]] since ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' to be storyboarded by the current director of the series which isn't the first or last episode of the series they direct. In this case, this episode is storyboarded by Saori Den, director of ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''.
* This episode features the first animated series appearance of {{p|Terrakion}} since its [[List of Pokémon by animated series debut|debut appearance]] in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', over 12 years earlier.
* This episode reveals an alternate design for {{shiny}} [[Zygarde Cell]]s, a first for the franchise.
* Despite having existed since [[Generation VI]], this is the [[List of moves by animated series debut|first time]] the move {{m|Thousand Arrows}} is used in the animated series.
* This episode marks the first that a female main character has:
** Officially {{pkmn2|caught}} a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Obtained a single-stage Pokémon since {{an|Iris}} caught her {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', 626 episodes earlier.
* [[Dot]], [[Roy]], [[Liko]], {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} narrate the preview of the [[HZ076|next episode]].
* While the official Japanese Pokémon [[YouTube]] channel releases every episode after its television airing for viewing on YouTube for a limited time in Japan, this episode was not geo-locked to Japan after its release.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20241129120508/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZucKTb4WSW8 【公式】アニメ「ポケットモンスター」第75話「託された未来、この世界の輝き」（見逃し配信）] - ポケモン公式YouTubeチャンネル</ref>

==Blurb==

Liko is surprised to hear a knock at her window—it’s her grandma’s Squawkabilly! Diana has returned to share her latest findings about Lucius and the Explorers, but first, she wants to battle Liko. Both sides battle at full power, and Diana is impressed when Liko and Floragato defeat her Arcanine despite a type disadvantage. Then, Diana reveals the truth about the Explorers, which Lucius originally created a century ago along with Rystal and Gibeon. After Lucius disappeared, Gibeon took over and is somehow still in charge to this day. But what about Rystal? Liko, Diana, and the others set out to the Crystal Pool to try to find out…

==Plot==
[[File:Liko Floragato vs Diana Arcanine.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko's Floragato battling Diana's Arcanine]]
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 and Floragato.png|thumb|250px|Liko hugging Floragato after defeating Diana]]
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|left|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 [[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 {{OBP|Layla|Horizons}}. This name catches Diana off-guard, since Layla 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.

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, Dot, and the others have finally closed in on Kleavor of the Six Heroes! As soon as they find it, Lucius’s Lapras emerges from its Ancient Poké Ball, and the two Pokémon begin to battle, seemingly as a way of greeting each other. Liko tells Kleavor about the journey to help Terapagos find Laqua, but it responds by fleeing behind a waterfall. The Trainers follow it through a cave that leads to a bamboo grove, where Kleavor challenges them to battle. Liko, Roy, Dot, and their Pokémon put up a tough fight—will it be enough to convince Kleavor to join them?

==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 her [[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 she 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 her 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}}.

==Blurb==

The Rising Volt Tacklers have met Perrin, a photographer from the Sinnoh region who recently managed to take a picture of Kleavor on Tengu Mountain in Kitakami. Unfortunately, she doesn’t remember where exactly she saw the elusive Pokémon, so she joins Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede to search the mountain. After becoming separated, the Trainers encounter various wild Pokémon, including some that aren’t too happy to see strangers in their territory! But by noticing and following various clues connected to Kleavor, the group reunites and presses on. Just where could Kleavor be?

==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 Friede'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 ends 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.

'''Pagogo''' (Japanese: '''パゴゴ''' ''Pagogo'') is a {{p|Terapagos}}, a [[Legendary Pokémon]] first encountered 100 years ago in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] by [[Rystal]]. [[Liko]] received it as a pendant from her grandmother, [[Diana]]. It is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Liko {{pkmn2|caught}} in the land of [[Kitakami]], and her third overall. It is usually [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] its Poké Ball.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Rystal and Terapagos.png|thumb|left|250px|Pagogo and [[Rystal]]]]
=====With [[Rystal]]=====
100 years prior to the events of {{Aniseries|HZ}}, [[Rystal]] found a {{p|Terapagos}} during a trip to the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] and [[nickname]]d it Pagogo. One day, she was running away from a group of thieves who wanted to steal Pagogo, but they were saved by [[Lucius]], who scared the thieves away with his [[Black Rayquaza]]. Since then, Rystal and Pagogo accompanied Lucius in his journey, as he caught the remaining members of the [[Six Heroes]] and sought the Pokémon paradise known as [[Laqua]]. At some point, they were joined by [[Gibeon]] and his [[White Zygarde]].
[[File:Pagogo seals Laqua.png|thumb|250px|Pagogo and the [[Six Heroes]] sealing the [[Laquium]] away]]
Finally having reached Laqua, the trio, now known as the [[Explorers]], found themselves in trouble after Gibeon meddled with the [[Laquium]] crystals found in the paradise, causing them to spread uncontrollably and making [[wild Pokémon]] go feral. Upon witnessing its Trainer's determination, Pagogo transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and gave some of its [[Terastal energy|energy]] to the Six Heroes, allowing them to seal the Laquium away. In the aftermath, Lucius was trapped in Laqua, the Six Heroes got scattered around the {{pkmn|world}}, and Pagogo fell into a deep sleep in its dormant, jewel-like state.

Rystal chose to wear the dormant Pagogo around her neck in the form of a pendant ever since, hoping it'd awaken someday. After she passed away, her pendant was left inside a briefcase in the attic of her [[Layla (Horizons)|daughter]]'s home, alongside Lucius's diary.

=====With [[Diana]]=====
[[File:Young Diana.png|thumb|250px|left|Young [[Diana]] finding the Terapagos in the form of a pendant]]
Many years later, the pendant and Lucius's diary were found by Rystal's granddaughter, [[Diana]], when she was a young girl. The tales of the Ancient Adventurer motivated her to begin a journey, hoping to find out if the stories were true, and she took the pendant with her, unaware that it was a Pokémon. Despite her many adventures, Terapagos never once showed signals of a reawakening.

A year prior to the events of the series, Diana gifted the pendant to her granddaughter, [[Liko]], telling her that it would become important to her in the future. Some time after this, she learned about the Explorers, a suspicious organization that wanted the pendant for an unknown purpose. Fearing for her granddaughter's safety, she, through [[Lucca]], enlisted the help of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to protect her.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
=====As a [[wild Pokémon]]=====
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|thumb|250px|Terapagos awakening from the pendant to protect [[Liko]] for the first time]]
Terapagos debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', first appearing in its dormant state. During a school break, Liko was approached by [[Amethio]], who claimed he was sent by her grandmother to retrieve and return the pendant to her. Finding the situation suspicious, Liko instead took the pendant and fled her dormitory. She eventually got cornered by Amethio and his subordinates, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], but in the right moment, [[Friede]] swoop in from above. While [[Friede's Charizard]] battled [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], Liko took the opportunity to escape just as a stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} flew towards her. The pendant glowed and created an energy barrier, protecting Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from harm. Inside the barrier, Liko briefly saw, though not recognized, Terapagos in its Normal Form before it reverted back into a pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko's pendant seemed to resonate with [[Roy]]'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] as they were being chased by a group of wild Pokémon. In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', the pendant once again activated, creating another barrier to protect its owner from imminent danger and later, during another situation of distress, resonating with the Ancient Poké Ball, which then opened, releasing the Black Rayquaza. Intrigued, Liko decided to continue looking into her pendant's mystery as the Rising Volt Tacklers traveled to [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after helping {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} restore the [[Arboliva's Forest|forest where it lived]], Liko's pendant began to glow and transformed back into Terapagos, which caused Arboliva to share a vision of a [[Lucius|mysterious man]] to the group. After the vision was shown, Terapagos reverted back to its dormant state and Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball, allowing Liko to take it under her care. Afterward, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother to learn more about the pendant.

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko was lured away from the Rising Volt Tacklers by [[Spinel]], who then used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase her memories and easily steal her pendant. The pendant remained under Spinel's possession until ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', where Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] challenged him to a battle. Spinel, commanding his Pokémon remotely from a hidden location, quickly overwhelmed them once he was up to his final Pokémon, {{p|Umbreon}}. Their desire to retrieve the pendant caused it to glow brightly, revealing where Spinel was hiding and allowing Sprigatito to retrieve it.
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos facing the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', the group encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, indicating that it had belonged to the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]] just like Arboliva. However, they were forced to retreat after Moltres had defeated them and injured [[Captain Pikachu]]. In the [[HZ023|following episode]], Liko and Roy returned to the Galar Mine and battled the Malevolent Pokémon in an attempt to calm it down. After successfully calming Moltres down with Sprigatito's aromatic {{m|Leafage}}, Liko's pendant started to glow and transformed into Terapagos. It began to communicate with Moltres, after which it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. After this point, Terapagos no longer reverted to its dormant state inside the pendant, instead choosing to remain awakened to travel alongside Liko. This was noticed by Amethio, who would tell his teammates that they planned to steal the mysterious Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', as the Black Rayquaza appeared before the Rising Volt Tacklers and easily defeated Amethio, Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} to protect its friends, having its {{m|Tera Starstorm}} clash with Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}}. After that, however, it passed out from exhaustion and Rayquaza left. Friede and Diana later theorized that Rayquaza was only testing Terapagos, who had just awakened some of its powers after three of the Six Heroes had been gathered.
[[File:Pagogo Tera Shift.png|thumb|250px|{{a|Tera Shift}} activated]]
During Liko's time as a [[Naranja Academy]] student, from ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'' to ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Terapagos was usually seen traveling inside her bag.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', knowing about Terapagos sightings in Paldea through old records, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede visited [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]] hoping they'd know something about them. They revealed old sketches of Terapagos's Normal and Terastal Forms, claiming it possessed a strong connection to the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and that it was once sighted within the Great Crater of Paldea, in Area Zero, which was recorded in the Scarlet Book, supposedly in its third form. Later on, during their travels with [[Raifort]], Terapagos quickly striked a friendship with a wild {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}.

In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', after an encounter with Amethio on [[Glaseado Mountain]], Liko was forced to battle him in order to keep Terapagos safe. They were interrupted by Spinel, who revealed he came into possession of a shard of [[Laquium]], which he used to power up his {{p|Umbreon}}. Infuriated by this, Terapagos changed into its Terastal Form, purified Umbreon of the Laquium's effect, and destroyed the shard before falling unconscious. Terapagos later awakened inside a cave that Spinel trapped it, Liko, and Amethio inside of. Despite Amethio's insistence that capturing it was the last thing on his mind at the moment, Terapagos ignored his words and angrily yelled at him.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', at [[Briar]]'s suggestion, the Rising Volt Tacklers went to the [[Crystal Pool]] so Terapagos could attempt to communicate with Lucius by using the site's rumored ability to summon the deceased. Despite its best efforts, Terapagos was unable to call on Lucius's spirit.
[[File:Liko catches Pagogo.png|thumb|250px|left|Pagogo joining Liko's team]]
In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', after learning about the existence of [[Rystal]], the Rising Volt Tacklers traveled to the Crystal Pool once more and had Terapagos try and call on the spirit of Rystal this time. This attempt was successful, allowing them to meet Terapagos's former Trainer, as well as her child, {{OBP|Layla|Horizons}}. In [[HZ075|the next episode]], after Rystal had told them the original Explorers' journey to Laqua, she returned to her original time, though not before asking Liko to take care of her former partner, filling Terapagos with sadness. After being given a {{i|Poké Ball}} by Friede, Liko {{pkmn2|caught}} Terapagos, formally adding it to her [[Party|team]], and started using the nickname Rystal once gave it: Pagogo.

=====With [[Liko]]=====
[[File:Liko and Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|Pagogo and Liko]]
After the Rising Volt Tacklers managed to convince [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] to join them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Pagogo and the gathered heroes summoned the Black Rayquaza to Area Zero for one final challenge, which took place in the [[HZ082|following episode]]. Eventually, when all of the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon except for [[Roy's Crocalor]] had been defeated, Pagogo transformed into its Terastal Form and decided to join the fray. Their collective efforts kept Rayquaza on the defensive, allowing Pagogo to strike it with a powerful Tera Starstorm, though not without being hit hard by a {{m|Dragon Ascent}} in the process. Then, it chose to use the last of its remaining strength to Terastallize Crocalor, giving him the power boost necessary to damage Rayquaza enough for Roy to recall it into its Ancient Poké Ball. Now, with all Six Heroes gathered, Pagogo fully regained its full strength.

Led by the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tackles arrived at [[Mount Pericarp]] in ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]''. At various points during their trek up the mountain, Pagogo summoned one of the Six Heroes to aid the group, allowing them to climb higher, cross waters, and overcome obstacles in order to reach Laqua. The group then went further into the paradise's forest in the [[HZ085|following episode]], finally finding the area that had been sealed away 100 years ago. Realizing the barrier was still up, Liko had Pagogo transform into its Terastal Form and remove it, but this left it exhausted in the process, forcing her to recall it for the time being. This, however, did not last long, as Pagogo forced itself out of its Poké Ball just as Gibeon began meddling with the Laquium crystals again.
[[File:Lucius and Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|Pagogo reuniting with Lucius]]
In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the group eventually reached Gibeon and the White Zygarde, who was digging up a Laquium cluster. At that moment, Pagogo summoned the Six Heroes, and they collectively witnessed as Lucius emerged alive from the crystals. After reuniting, Pagogo lent some of its power to Lucius in order for him to explain everything. Now with the knowledge that only sealing the Laquium away won't be effective, it transformed into its Terastal Form and gathered the Six Heroes' powers into itself while the group proved themselves to the White Zygarde. Once it was ready, in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Pagogo Terastallized, changing into its Stellar Form, and purified the Laquium with the help of the Six Heroes. It instantly returned to its Normal Form afterwards and bid farewell to Lucius, who, like Gibeon, was only being kept alive due to Laquium. Before parting, the Ancient Adventurer entrusted Pagogo's safety to Liko.
[[File:Pagogo reawaken.png|thumb|250px|Pagogo awakening from its {{i|Poké Ball}} to protect Liko for the second time]]
Over the year following the events at Laqua, Pagogo did not come out from its Poké Ball, seemingly hibernating just as it did 100 years ago. In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', it finally reawakened in order to shield Liko from a {{m|Rock Slide}} caused by two rampaging {{p|Steelix}} that had been affected by Laquium. Pagogo transformed into its Terastal Form and purified the Laquium affecting the Steelix, clearing the ill effects. From here onwards, in the event of the group finding a Laquium Sign, they would work to subdue the afflicted Pokémon, allowing Pagogo, in its battle form, to cure it from the substance's effects.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Pagogo was chosen by [[Katy]] to be Liko's Pokémon for their official [[rematch]], facing off against her {{p|Ursaring}}. Its brute force and resilience proved to be a tough match, but Pagogo was able to overcome it with a Tera Starstorm in the end, even after Ursaring had Terastallized, winning Liko the battle.

In ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', Pagogo reunited with the Charcadet it had met [[HZ057|a year back]] in some [[Paldea]]n ruins. After {{OBP|Pepper|HZ102}}'s {{p|Scovillain}} was discovered to be on a Laquium-induced rampage, it helped Charcadet in subduing the Spicy Pepper Pokémon. Later, as Liko was about to bid farewell to Charcadet, Pagogo encouraged it to join them.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Pagogo was used alongside the rest of Liko, Roy, and [[Ult]]'s Pokémon to battle against five of the Six Heroes, who were under the influence of the Super [[Strong Sphere]]s. Overwhelmed by the opponents, Liko quickly had Pagogo purify the Laquium from the heroes' bodies, but the Explorers used the Super Strong Spheres once more on them. This time, {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} aimed directly at Pagogo, knocking out both it and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, who had jumped in to try and defend it.

In ''[[HZ121|The Catcher in the Sky]]'', Pagogo used its {{m|Protect}} in an attempt to catch Friede, whose spaceship was about to crash-land into the ground. Several of the other Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon used their moves to support Pagogo, but Friede's ship was deflected off the barrier. Pagogo then used its power to Terastallize Captain Pikachu into a {{type|Flying}}, which allowed Captain Pikachu to safely return Friede to the [[Brave Olivine]].

In [[HZ125]], Pagogo teamed up with Zygarde to help the remaining Six Heroes regain the memories of their adventures with Lucius, Rystal, Gibeon, and the Rising Volt Tacklers. Pagogo then Terastalized all the remaining Six Heroes to remove the effects of Laquium from them.

In [[HZ134]], Pagogo helped purify the wild Laquium affected Pokémon when Spinel activated his upgraded Laquium-activating machines, even helping Captain Pikachu destory the machines. In the [[HZ135|next episode]], Pagogo and the eighteen Tera type Pokémon make an attempt to purify the Laquium core, but the Explorers interfere, losing [[Penny]]'s {{p|Sylveon}} in the process until [[Coral]] sent out her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take the Intertwining Pokémon's place. However, Pagogo and the rest of the Tera type Pokémon couldn't erase the Laquium core when Spinel merge with it, awaking it. Pagogo teamed up with its friends to take down the Laquium core.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Charcadet Hatterene Meowscarada Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|Pagogo with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}}, and {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}]]
Particularly, Pagogo seems to have a special connection to [[Liko]], with her being the first person in generations to be able to reawaken it from its dormant state. It appears to have a strong desire to protect her from harm, which can most notably be seen in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', and ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', instances where it reawakened or first transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} in order to shield her from imminent danger. It also seems to like sleeping in Liko's backpack and enjoys being held in her arms, as well as in {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}'s. In addition, Pagogo has taken a liking to being inside {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}}'s body. Pagogo has been shown to be overall friendly around people and Pokémon alike, having a close bond with the rest of Liko's team, especially with {{p|Charcadet}}, as Pagogo was the one to encourage it to join her [[party]] and is occasionally seen offering it a ride on its back. It maintains its friendship with it after it evolved into {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}}. Notable exceptions to Pagogo's friendliness include [[Amethio]], a trait first shown in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'' and then again in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', as it appears to resent the recognition of Amethio's grandfather, [[Gibeon]], in him; and [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}}, due to its constant attempts to eat it.

Pagogo has a strong connection to [[Lucius]], the [[Six Heroes]], and its former Trainer, [[Rystal]], always attempting to call out to them and being extremely happy every time they reunite. Many events of the original [[Explorers]]' journey are only revealed to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] due to Pagogo's ability to share the memories it has from that time. Amongst the Six Heroes, it has the closest bond with Rayquaza, dating back to the day they first met, as depicted in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', with Lucius noting that Pagogo was unlike every other Pokémon in that it didn't fear Rayquaza. As seen in ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Pagogo has the ability to call for the Black Rayquaza with a specific energy signal, which the other Six Heroes seem to share as well, as suggested in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]''. In ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', Gibeon also claimed that both Pagogo and Rayquaza were the keys to [[Laqua]], in the sense that only the Sky High Pokémon knew the way there and that the Tera Pokémon, with its power fully reawakened, was able to unseal the paradise. Due to their shared history, Pagogo was shown to glow whenever it's near one of the [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s and is even capable to opening them if necessary, as seen in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'' and ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]''. It was very happy in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]],'' to be reunited with the Black Rayquaza, but upon hearing of the remaining heroes capture by Spinel; Pagogo shared great determination to free them which happened in [[HZ125]].
[[File:Angered Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|Pagogo angered by the sight of [[Laquium]]]]
In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'' and throughout [[Terapagos's Exploration Diary]], it was shown to have a curious and inquisitive personality, exploring and wandering the [[Brave Olivine]] on its own, possibly as a result of being in its dormant form for a very long time. In addition, Pagogo enjoys eating {{Berries}}, as they are the only things it will eat; though it has come to enjoy eating other foods, such as sweets.

Although it isn't seen battling much, Pagogo itself is not opposed to the idea, even taking the initiative to do so in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'' upon sensing Liko's determination. Pagogo's lack of battling appearances could be attributed to its missing powers, as its first battle occurred in ''Roar of the Black Rayquaza'', after three of the Six Heroes had been gathered, and ended with it passing out after a single attack, which meant its power was still incomplete. A similar explanation has been suggested by [[Diana]] in ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'' as to why the [[Laquium]] wasn't completely purified, and that Pagogo in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} may need to simultaneously resonate with all eighteen [[type]]s to be at its strongest; in ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'', [[Briar]] clarifies that Pagogo needs to resonate with eighteen different Tera Types from Pokémon at the level of the Six Heroes in order to completely purify Laquium.

In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', when [[Spinel]] showed a Laquium shard to Pagogo, it became angry and transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, purifying Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}} of the Laquium's influence and destroying the shard in the process. Spinel came to the conclusion that Pagogo and the Laquium are opposing forces to each other in some fashion. In general, seeing Laquium angers Pagogo. This anger may stem from its first encounter with it alongside the original Explorers in which Lucius was trapped in Laqua, the Six Heroes scattered around world, and itself transformed into a dormant state. Moreover, upon arriving in Laqua and seeing that Gibeon had continued his pursuit of Laquium a hundred years later may have made Pagogo determined not to let what happened to the original Explorers repeat itself with the Rising Volt Tacklers. A year later, Pagogo's anger towards Laquium may have increased further when Spinel used it on the Six Heroes in order to make them to go berserk for his experiments.

==Trivia==
* Pagogo's debut in the {{pkmn|animated series}} was the first time that Terapagos was ever shown in its {{form|Terapagos|Normal Form}}, as it had previously only been revealed in its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1647948029805182976 @Pokémon on Twitter]: ''A newly discovered Pokémon appears in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet! Its splendid aura is reminiscent of the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos, but this Pokémon’s name and true nature are shrouded in mystery.''</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1647993562443788289 @Pokémon on Twitter]: ''What’s happening with Liko’s pendant? There’s even more to discover about this mysterious Pokémon and its connection to Liko’s pendant in #PokemonHorizons: The Series!''</ref> It was not identified as Terapagos until the {{DL|Pokémon Presents|August 8, 2023}} [[Pokémon Presents]], months later.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/ ''Two Forms of the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos!'' - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website]</ref>
* In the closed captioning for the [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (from 古代亀 ''kodai kame'', literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]: The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko's pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ).</ref> This was later officially confirmed as an error.<ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 @anipoke_PR on Twitter]: 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。</ref>
* Out of all Pokémon owned by female main characters, Pagogo took the longest to catch after its [[HZ002|debut]], taking 73 episodes (74 if its [[HZ001|first appearance in its pendant form]] is included).
** Pagogo's capture was foreshadowed in [[Only One Story]], where it is seen appearing when [[Liko]] sends out her Pokémon.
* Pagogo is the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] to be owned by a female main character.
** It is also the first [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|single-stage]] Pokémon to be officially owned by a female main character since [[Iris's Emolga]], who was caught in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', 626 episodes earlier.
* Pagogo is currently the only Pokémon owned by Liko that:
** Is not part of an evolutionary line.
** Is a Legendary Pokémon.
** Has [[List of Pokémon with form differences|multiple forms]].
** Has a [[nickname]].
** Is not a dual-type Pokémon.
* Pagogo is the only single-type Pokémon owned by the younger members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].
* In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', a {{p|Terapagos}} appeared in [[Area Zero]] during a flashback; however, it is unknown whether the Terapagos in question was Pagogo or another Terapagos.
* In its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, Pagogo is animated with 3D animation rather than 2D, similar to {{DL|Terastal phenomenon|Tera Jewels}} in the same series and {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} in {{aniseries|JN}}.
** Additionally, when Terapagos transformed into its Stellar Form for the first time in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', its body was coated in a light blue glow, which hid its design's details. This was probably done to hide the form until it appeared in the present in ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]''.
* Unlike the dormant state of the {{ga|Terapagos}} from [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|expansion]] of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pagogo's star at the tip of its tail is still seen sticking out. Pagogo's shell also shrinks to a much smaller size in its dormant state whereas the Terapagos in the games stays roughly the same size.

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede finally reach the Crystal Pool as they continue their hunt for the Terapagos researcher Ms. Briar. They don’t get to rest for long—a normally peaceful Milotic attacks and Terastallizes! After a tough battle, Friede and Cap return with Ms. Briar. Our heroes soon discover the teacher is a descendent of Heath, the author of the mysterious Scarlet Book that Dot found at Naranja Academy. She recounts Heath’s unpublished tales and shares that her studies on the legends of the Crystal Pool may help in their quest for the Six Heroes. What secrets hide in its clear waters?

==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.

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede are on their way to the Crystal Pool when they’re suddenly startled by a loud noise! The culprit is a wild Bombirdier who enjoys dropping objects to the ground to scare people and Pokémon. Tinkatink becomes interested in the pans Bombirdier dropped, and it begins hammering away at a piece of metal. Seeing this, Bombirdier becomes determined to steal the metal back, and the two Pokémon end up in a chase that gets Tinkatink separated from Dot. Eventually, Dot and Quaxwell go up in battle against the Bombirdier, who Terastallizes unexpectedly, and they end up in a tight spot… But can Tinkatink save the day?

==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.

==Blurb==

The Rising Volt Tacklers arrive in Mossui Town in Kitakami, where they discover a festival to celebrate the local apple harvest. They decide to look around for people who might know Briar, but Friede gets sidetracked when he sees a Trainer with a Sinistcha. Meanwhile, Roy and Crocalor encounter a vendor who asks for their help operating a mysterious device he plans to sell. Roy and Crocalor each push a button on the device, and it somehow causes them to switch places! Roy’s mind is in Crocalor’s body—and vice versa! Unfortunately, it seems that reversing the change won’t be so easy…

==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.

==Blurb==

Saying goodbye to Naranja Academy and heading toward the land of Kitakami, Liko, Roy, and Dot return to the Brave Olivine and are excited to see the different upgrades the ship received while they were away. They also meet some new crew members—a trio of Tatsugiri who aren’t impressed with Crocalor’s big appetite! Then, Friede returns Lucius’s belt to Liko, and Arboliva, Galarian Moltres, and Lapras of the Six Heroes all emerge from their Ancient Poké Balls. After speaking with Terapagos, the three Pokémon challenge Liko, Roy, and Dot to battle! Will the Trainers be able to hold their own against such powerful opponents?

==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 [[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.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon HZ068.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon watching the younger members battle]]
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|left|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.

==Blurb==

The Tera Training Student Battle Tournament continues at Naranja Academy! After Dot wins her match, it’s time for Liko and Roy to battle each other, and they receive lots of encouragement from friends and Gym Leaders they encountered during their training. As the battle begins, Roy calls on Fuecoco and then Kilowattrel, and Liko sends in Floragato and then Hattrem. Kilowattrel defeats Hattrem, and Floragato takes down Kilowattrel, leaving Floragato and Fuecoco to face off. Both Pokémon battle fiercely, but Fuecoco gets especially fired up, and the entire crowd starts singing along with it as it gathers its strength and begins to glow…

==Plot==
The [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] continues with [[Dot]] facing [[Rob]]. After {{Tera}}stallizing {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, Dot finishes the {{pkmn|battle}} by defeating Rob's {{p|Darumaka}} with a boosted {{m|Liquidation}}. With this, the tournament now moves on to its final battle, [[Liko]] versus [[Roy]], which everyone is excited about after [[Penny]] told everyone of their [[HZ066|heroic efforts]] against the [[Explorers]]. Roy receives some words of encouragement from [[Nemona]] and [[Ryme]], while Liko receives her own bit of encouragement from [[Ann]] and [[Katy]], both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their partner Pokémon feeling fired up for their battle.

Once Liko and Roy have taken their places at the battlefield, [[Dendra]] initiates the match. The battle begins with a collision between {{p|Fuecoco}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which cancel each other out. Next up, the two Pokémon collide with {{m|Flame Charge}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, with Floragato overpowering Fuecoco and pushing him back. The same attacks are repeated, but thanks to Flame Charge, Fuecoco's {{stat|speed}} has increased, allowing him to run laps around Floragato and hit her. Liko tries to stop Fuecoco by binding him with Floragato's vine, but Roy has Fuecoco push through and keep running, making Floragato spin uncontrollably. Eventually, though, Floragato manages to fling Fuecoco up into the air and then back down again. Seeing that Fuecoco is getting overpowered, Roy [[recall]]s him and sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, who has the advantage thanks to being able to fly. Liko has Floragato grab Kilowattrel's leg with her vine in an attempt to repeat her previous strategy, only for Kilowattrel to fly high into the air, dragging Floragato along, before diving back down. Floragato, though, manages to use Magical Leaf to cushion the landing, earning appreciative comments from the onlookers. She then uses the same [[move]] offensively against Kilowattrel, who tries to fly away from it. While Kilowattrel finds Magical Leaf {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|following it}}, the erratic flying helps its wings build up an electrical charge via {{a|Wind Power}}, which Roy uses to his advantage by ordering a {{m|Spark}}, which powers through Magical Leaf. Floragato tries to counterattack with {{m|Scratch}}, but is overpowered and hit, leaving her crippled with {{status|paralysis}}.

Liko decides to make a switch of her own and sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, who manages to stop Kilowattrel's following Spark with {{m|Confusion}}. Roy counterattacks with {{m|Uproar}}, disrupting Hattrem's concentration. This allows Kilowattrel to fly up and dive in with another Spark, powering through another Confusion and dealing a hit. Roy orders another Spark, which Hattrem is too tired to dodge, so she instead glances at Liko and makes Floragato's {{i|Poké Ball}} glow a moment before she's struck down. When Liko sends Floragato back out, her paralysis is revealed to have been cured thanks to Hattrem's [[Ability]], {{a|Healer}}. Kilowattrel dives in for another Spark, and Liko almost orders Floragato to grab Kilowattrel, before remembering what happened earlier and cancelling the order. Floragato did already start the move, though, and her aimlessly waving vine distracts Kilowattrel enough to give Liko an opening, allowing Floragato to defeat the {{pkmn|category|Frigatebird Pokémon}} with Scratch. While Liko realizes this unintended strategy could be turned into a new move, Roy sends Fuecoco back out to begin the final round of the battle, which both sides are determined to win.

Roy has Fuecoco use Flamethrower, but before it can go off, Floragato repeats her previous strategy and startles the Fire Croc Pokémon with her vine before attacking him, successfully pulling off a new move; {{m|Sucker Punch}}. Roy asks Liko if she remembers [[HZ007|their first battle]], which leads to the two reminiscing of their {{pkmn|journey}} together while their Pokémon continue exchanging attacks; how they've battled together, {{pkmn|training|trained}} together, fought the Explorers together, and intend reach even further together. Roy and Fuecoco start expressing their determination to keep growing stronger by singing their song, with Ryme and the other {{tc|student}}s joining in as well. In the middle of the song, Fuecoco suddenly starts glowing and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, much to his Trainer's excitement. Both sides are eager to witness the newly evolved Pokémon in action and throw their [[Tera Orb]]s to Terastallize their partners. A clash between a boosted Flamethrower and Magical Leaf follows. While Crocalor's attack powers through, Floragato dodges it and goes in for a Quick Attack, which Crocalor meets with a boosted Flame Charge. The attacks clash in a big explosion. After a few tense moments, Floragato falls down from the cloud of smoke and [[Fainting|faints]], with Dendra declaring Roy the winner. Roy celebrates his victory with his newly evolved partner and shakes hands with Liko as [[Clavell]] concludes the tournament.

At dusk, Ann informs Liko that she'll be heading back to [[Indigo Academy]], and both of them promise to battle each other again. Roy, meanwhile, receives congratulations from Nemona, Ryme, [[Hassel]], and [[Brassius]], and promises to keep growing stronger, while Dot receives a simple nod of approval from [[Larry]] and a phone call from {{an|Iono}}, which she proceeds to mostly ignore in order to talk with [[Poppy]], much to Iono's exasperation. In the academy's lobby, Liko has a brief talk with [[Geeta]] and [[Rika]], and is encouraged to keep going further by [[Grusha]] and Katy, while Penny approaches Dot, addressing her as Nidothing and thanking her for her help. Leaving the academy, Liko and her friends, now fully wielding Terastallization, head out for a new adventure. Meanwhile, while [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] sit together to eat a [[rice ball]] and a sandwich, respectively, [[Spinel]] studies the stolen {{an|Terapagos}} data at the Explorers base. [[Chalce]] enters the room to inform him that [[Hamber]] had been curious about the information he's dealing with, though she didn't tell him anything, nor does she intend to, which Spinel is pleased to hear.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]: ''What is on top of {{p|Crocalor}}'s head?''
** Choices: A [[Nugget]], a fireball, a [[Berry]]
** Answer: A fireball
* For the initial airing of this episode, Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar was replaced by a trailer for the upcoming ''Pocket Monsters: Rayquaza Rising'' chapter, which was later [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs6IVwrmMZo uploaded] to the official Japanese [[YouTube]] channel.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, and the second features [[Roy]] and his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}.
* This is the last episode of the ''[[Terastal Debut]]'' chapter.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** All three of the concurrent [[first partner Pokémon]] have evolved in their native region.
** A concurrent {{type|Fire}} first partner Pokémon has evolved last.
** All three of the concurrent first partner Pokémon owned by a main or recurring character have evolved at least once since {{an|Brock}}'s {{p|Mudkip}} evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} in ''[[AG148|A Chip Off The Old Brock]]'', 877 episodes earlier.
** [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] has defeated an opponent in an official battle.
* As of this episode, all of the [[Paldea first partner Pokémon]] have evolved at least once.
* {{r|忍田雄介}} also did storyboard work for this episode, which was left uncredited in the ending credits.<ref>[https://x.com/YusukeOshida/status/1839632313296290165 Tweet by @YusukeOshida, September 27, 2024] ([https://archive.ph/bk6yR archived])</ref>
* [[Murdock]], [[Orla]], [[Mollie]], [[Ludlow]], [[Captain Pikachu]], and [[Friede]] narrate the preview of the [[HZ068|next episode]].
* The English dub was released on {{wp|Stan (streaming service)|Stan}} in Australia on April 1, 2025, four weeks before the episode aired on 9Go! on April 29, 2025.

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
*Due to Coral and Sidian's fake names being Cornbread and Seasoning in the English dub rather than Sandwich and Onigiri, Coral realizing the connection between the sandwich she is eating and her fake name was rewritten in the dub as her lamenting that the sandwich is not cornbread, although she still claims to not particularly like the name in both versions when asked by Sidian. She then sarcastically asks Sidian in the dub if the rice ball he is eating has any "seasoning" on it, whereas in the original version she asks Sidian in response if he likes either the rice ball he is eating or the fake name he shares with it, with it being intentionally left ambiguous which she is referring to.

==Blurb==

The Tera Training Student Battle Tournament continues at Naranja Academy! After Dot wins her match, it’s time for Liko and Roy to battle each other, and they receive lots of encouragement from friends and Gym Leaders they encountered during their training. As the battle begins, Roy calls on Fuecoco and then Kilowattrel, and Liko sends in Floragato and then Hattrem. Kilowattrel defeats Hattrem, and Floragato takes down Kilowattrel, leaving Floragato and Fuecoco to face off. Both Pokémon battle fiercely, but Fuecoco gets especially fired up, and the entire crowd starts singing along with it as it gathers its strength and begins to glow…

==Plot==
The [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] continues with [[Dot]] facing [[Rob]]. After {{Tera}}stallizing {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, Dot finishes the {{pkmn|battle}} by defeating Rob's {{p|Darumaka}} with a boosted {{m|Liquidation}}. With this, the tournament now moves on to its final battle, [[Liko]] versus [[Roy]], which everyone is excited about after [[Penny]] told everyone of their [[HZ066|heroic efforts]] against the [[Explorers]]. Roy receives some words of encouragement from [[Nemona]] and [[Ryme]], while Liko receives her own bit of encouragement from [[Ann]] and [[Katy]], both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their partner Pokémon feeling fired up for their battle.

Once Liko and Roy have taken their places at the battlefield, [[Dendra]] initiates the match. The battle begins with a collision between {{p|Fuecoco}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which cancel each other out. Next up, the two Pokémon collide with {{m|Flame Charge}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, with Floragato overpowering Fuecoco and pushing him back. The same attacks are repeated, but thanks to Flame Charge, Fuecoco's {{stat|speed}} has increased, allowing him to run laps around Floragato and hit her. Liko tries to stop Fuecoco by binding him with Floragato's vine, but Roy has Fuecoco push through and keep running, making Floragato spin uncontrollably. Eventually, though, Floragato manages to fling Fuecoco up into the air and then back down again. Seeing that Fuecoco is getting overpowered, Roy [[recall]]s him and sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, who has the advantage thanks to being able to fly. Liko has Floragato grab Kilowattrel's leg with her vine in an attempt to repeat her previous strategy, only for Kilowattrel to fly high into the air, dragging Floragato along, before diving back down. Floragato, though, manages to use Magical Leaf to cushion the landing, earning appreciative comments from the onlookers. She then uses the same [[move]] offensively against Kilowattrel, who tries to fly away from it. While Kilowattrel finds Magical Leaf {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|following it}}, the erratic flying helps its wings build up an electrical charge via {{a|Wind Power}}, which Roy uses to his advantage by ordering a {{m|Spark}}, which powers through Magical Leaf. Floragato tries to counterattack with {{m|Scratch}}, but is overpowered and hit, leaving her crippled with {{status|paralysis}}.

Liko decides to make a switch of her own and sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, who manages to stop Kilowattrel's following Spark with {{m|Confusion}}. Roy counterattacks with {{m|Uproar}}, disrupting Hattrem's concentration. This allows Kilowattrel to fly up and dive in with another Spark, powering through another Confusion and dealing a hit. Roy orders another Spark, which Hattrem is too tired to dodge, so she instead glances at Liko and makes Floragato's {{i|Poké Ball}} glow a moment before she's struck down. When Liko sends Floragato back out, her paralysis is revealed to have been cured thanks to Hattrem's [[Ability]], {{a|Healer}}. Kilowattrel dives in for another Spark, and Liko almost orders Floragato to grab Kilowattrel, before remembering what happened earlier and cancelling the order. Floragato did already start the move, though, and her aimlessly waving vine distracts Kilowattrel enough to give Liko an opening, allowing Floragato to defeat the {{pkmn|category|Frigatebird Pokémon}} with Scratch. While Liko realizes this unintended strategy could be turned into a new move, Roy sends Fuecoco back out to begin the final round of the battle, which both sides are determined to win.

Roy has Fuecoco use Flamethrower, but before it can go off, Floragato repeats her previous strategy and startles the Fire Croc Pokémon with her vine before attacking him, successfully pulling off a new move; {{m|Sucker Punch}}. Roy asks Liko if she remembers [[HZ007|their first battle]], which leads to the two reminiscing of their {{pkmn|journey}} together while their Pokémon continue exchanging attacks; how they've battled together, {{pkmn|training|trained}} together, fought the Explorers together, and intend reach even further together. Roy and Fuecoco start expressing their determination to keep growing stronger by singing their song, with Ryme and the other {{tc|student}}s joining in as well. In the middle of the song, Fuecoco suddenly starts glowing and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, much to his Trainer's excitement. Both sides are eager to witness the newly evolved Pokémon in action and throw their [[Tera Orb]]s to Terastallize their partners. A clash between a boosted Flamethrower and Magical Leaf follows. While Crocalor's attack powers through, Floragato dodges it and goes in for a Quick Attack, which Crocalor meets with a boosted Flame Charge. The attacks clash in a big explosion. After a few tense moments, Floragato falls down from the cloud of smoke and [[Fainting|faints]], with Dendra declaring Roy the winner. Roy celebrates his victory with his newly evolved partner and shakes hands with Liko as [[Clavell]] concludes the tournament.

At dusk, Ann informs Liko that she'll be heading back to [[Indigo Academy]], and both of them promise to battle each other again. Roy, meanwhile, receives congratulations from Nemona, Ryme, [[Hassel]], and [[Brassius]], and promises to keep growing stronger, while Dot receives a simple nod of approval from [[Larry]] and a phone call from {{an|Iono}}, which she proceeds to mostly ignore in order to talk with [[Poppy]], much to Iono's exasperation. In the academy's lobby, Liko has a brief talk with [[Geeta]] and [[Rika]], and is encouraged to keep going further by [[Grusha]] and Katy, while Penny approaches Dot, addressing her as Nidothing and thanking her for her help. Leaving the academy, Liko and her friends, now fully wielding Terastallization, head out for a new adventure. Meanwhile, while [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] sit together to eat a [[rice ball]] and a sandwich, respectively, [[Spinel]] studies the stolen {{an|Terapagos}} data at the Explorers base. [[Chalce]] enters the room to inform him that [[Hamber]] had been curious about the information he's dealing with, though she didn't tell him anything, nor does she intend to, which Spinel is pleased to hear.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]: ''What is on top of {{p|Crocalor}}'s head?''
** Choices: A [[Nugget]], a fireball, a [[Berry]]
** Answer: A fireball
* For the initial airing of this episode, Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar was replaced by a trailer for the upcoming ''Pocket Monsters: Rayquaza Rising'' chapter, which was later [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs6IVwrmMZo uploaded] to the official Japanese [[YouTube]] channel.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, and the second features [[Roy]] and his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}.
* This is the last episode of the ''[[Terastal Debut]]'' chapter.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** All three of the concurrent [[first partner Pokémon]] have evolved in their native region.
** A concurrent {{type|Fire}} first partner Pokémon has evolved last.
** All three of the concurrent first partner Pokémon owned by a main or recurring character have evolved at least once since {{an|Brock}}'s {{p|Mudkip}} evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} in ''[[AG148|A Chip Off The Old Brock]]'', 877 episodes earlier.
** [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] has defeated an opponent in an official battle.
* As of this episode, all of the [[Paldea first partner Pokémon]] have evolved at least once.
* {{r|忍田雄介}} also did storyboard work for this episode, which was left uncredited in the ending credits.<ref>[https://x.com/YusukeOshida/status/1839632313296290165 Tweet by @YusukeOshida, September 27, 2024] ([https://archive.ph/bk6yR archived])</ref>
* [[Murdock]], [[Orla]], [[Mollie]], [[Ludlow]], [[Captain Pikachu]], and [[Friede]] narrate the preview of the [[HZ068|next episode]].
* The English dub was released on {{wp|Stan (streaming service)|Stan}} in Australia on April 1, 2025, four weeks before the episode aired on 9Go! on April 29, 2025.

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
*Due to Coral and Sidian's fake names being Cornbread and Seasoning in the English dub rather than Sandwich and Onigiri, Coral realizing the connection between the sandwich she is eating and her fake name was rewritten in the dub as her lamenting that the sandwich is not cornbread, although she still claims to not particularly like the name in both versions when asked by Sidian. She then sarcastically asks Sidian in the dub if the rice ball he is eating has any "seasoning" on it, whereas in the original version she asks Sidian in response if he likes either the rice ball he is eating or the fake name he shares with it, with it being intentionally left ambiguous which she is referring to.

==Blurb==

Back at Naranja Academy, Liko, Roy, Dot, and the other Tera Training students are excited to battle in a friendly tournament against each other. But first, Dot receives a call from Penny, who suspects Chalce is in the process of hacking into the school’s computer network. Dot tells Penny about the Explorers and their pursuit of the black Rayquaza and Terapagos, leading them to deduce that Chalce must be trying to steal information about Terapagos. Liko, Roy, and Dot split up and search for Chalce, but Liko runs into Sidian, and Roy is confronted by Coral. A series of heated battles ensues, and Grusha watches Liko from the sideline…

==Plot==
All the [[Tera Training]] {{tc|student}}s have returned to [[Naranja Academy]]. [[Clavell]] informs the students that those who have passed their tests will receive their [[Tera Orb]]s later. [[Dot]] notices that [[Dash]] has failed her Implementation Test, the same outcome as [[Liko]]. However, Clavell and [[Geeta]] propose a competition called the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]], in which each of the students will battle each other in a one-on-one battle, and, whether passed or failed, can {{Tera}}stallize if they wish. This relieves Dash and Liko, the latter deciding to give it all she's got.

As [[Ann]] and {{p|Dewott}} battle [[Niko]] and {{p|Roserade}}, [[Nemona]] meets up with Liko, [[Roy]], and Dot. She points out that all the [[Gym Leader]]s are here as well, wanting to see how much the students have improved. Seeing [[Ryme]] and [[Larry]] talking with Geeta, Liko immediately notices that [[Grusha]] isn't here. The trio says that they're battling in the second half, which Nemona is looking forward to. Suddenly, Dot gets a call from [[Penny]], who tells her to meet up quickly for a talk in the nurse's office, brushing aside Dot's objections about her being about to participate in the tournament before hanging up. Dot goes off to find Penny, leaving the others confused. Dot arrives at the nurse's office, where Penny startles her by coming out from behind a curtain. She shows Dot that the school is being hacked, and the culprit is Chive, the suspicious teacher. Penny also reveals that Chive is connected to the [[Explorers]]. After hearing that Dot and her friends have a long history with these people, Penny asks her to tell her more about them. After hearing that they are after the [[Black Rayquaza]] and {{an|Terapagos}}, Penny thinks they must be dangerous. Dot points out that Clavell [[HZ057|showed them info]] on Terapagos sightings in [[Area Zero]]. Penny gets an idea about what they're up to, going with Dot to the principal's office. Dot realizes that they want to steal data on Terapagos from the PC in the office, and this is the perfect time since all the teachers are outside watching the tournament.

In the principal's office, Dot and Penny see that the PC is being controlled remotely. Penny tells Dot that right now, only the teachers’ PCs can connect to the principal's office. Seeing how the staff room was deserted, they decide to look for Chive in the only other rooms with PCs: the art room, the biology lab, and the home economics room. Penny tries to stop the breach from the office while Dot goes to look for Chive. As Liko and Roy watch the tournament, Dot calls them and says that the Explorers have infiltrated the school. Liko and Roy thinks it's Seasoning and Cornbread, and Dot tells them that a teacher is among them too. Dot has them spilt up to search for them. While she checks the biology lab, Roy goes to check the art room, and Liko goes to the home economics room. As Liko passed a security guard, Roy arrives at the art room. Roy doesn't find anyone there, nor does Liko in the home economics room, so Dot thinks Chive must be in the biology lab. Suddenly, Liko hears a crash from outside the room and finds the security guard on the ground covered in salt. Liko realizes it must have been {{m|Salt Cure}} and sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} to use {{m|Heal Pulse}} on the guard and his {{p|Psyduck}}, who points Terapagos and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} upstairs. Hattrem stays to look after the guard while Liko heads upstairs, telling Roy and Dot that Seasoning is definitely here. Coming out of the art room, Roy is suddenly confronted by Cornbread, who reveals herself as [[Coral]]. Roy demands to know what they are up to, and Coral dodges his question and initiates a battle. Meanwhile, [[Sidian]] is on the school rooftop, having secured an escape route before Liko arrives and confronts him. Dot spots Chive in the biology lab and takes a picture of her hacking the school. {{p|Medicham}} suddenly appears outside and alerts its {{pkmn|Trainer}} to Dot's presence. Chive also undoes her disguise and reveals herself as [[Chalce]]. Sidian tells Liko to hand over Terapagos, but she refuses. Sidian questions Liko what a mere child can do, and Liko says that she can fight.

Grusha appears in the library and heads upstairs, finding the guard on the ground as Hattrem leads him upstairs. Dot tells {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} to break down the door with {{m|Liquidation}}, but is thrown against the ceiling by Medicham's {{m|Confusion}}. Penny makes a clip to catch Chalce in the act, but it disappears. Meanwhile, Coral has {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Blizzard}}, which {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} dodges. Roy commands the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}} to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but then stops him so that it won't burn everyone's art, to Coral's personal confusion. Roy takes the battle outside, with him and Fuecoco riding {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} out the window they can fight outside without causing damage to the school. Coral and Glalie follow suit, allowing Fuecoco and Glalie continue their battle by exchanging a Flamethrower and Blizzard clash. On the roof, Liko commands Floragato to use {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which {{p|Garganacl}} counters with Salt Cure. Garganacl follows up with {{m|Stone Edge}}, which Floragato jumps off of before landing a hit with Magical Leaf. Garganacl uses Salt Cure, which Floragato evades and closes in with {{m|Quick Attack}}. As Garganacl is about to grab Floragato, she wraps her vine around the top of the Rock Salt Pokémon and breaks its hands with {{m|Acrobatics}}. Grusha is watching through the window as Sidian commands Garganacl to use {{m|Recover}}, growing its hands back. Sidian then reveals his Tera Orb and Terastallizes Garganacl into a {{t|Rock}} type, which worries Liko. As Quaxwell takes Medicham's attacks, {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} sneaks into the lab through the top window. Before Chalce can react, Tinkatink smashes the laptop she was using. However, to Penny and Dot's dismay, Chalce has already gotten all the data. She [[recall]]s Medicham and sends out {{p|Xatu}} to {{m|Teleport}} her away.

As their battle on the roof continues, Sidian commands Garganacl to use a boosted Salt Cure. Floragato jumps to dodge, but her legs are still grazed by the enhanced stream of salt. A nervous Liko commands a Magical Leaf, but it barely does anything to faze the Terastallized Garganacl while Sidian mocks Liko's weakness. Garganacl heals itself with Recover again while Floragato falls to her knees and gets covered in salt crystals from Salt Cure's effect. Sidian again tells Liko to hand over Terapagos. Grusha is about to step in, but Liko refuses to give up, declaring that for Terapagos and the school, she can't afford to lose. With Floragato letting out a determined [[cry]], Liko Terastallizes her. Garganacl uses a boosted Stone Edge, but Floragato leaps on the air to dodge it before using a boosted Magical Leaf. Garganacl counters with Salt Cure, but Floragato redirects her attack, which deals the finishing blow to Garganacl to defeat it. Sidian recalls Garganacl and tells Liko to remember his name, before flying off on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

Meanwhile, Fuecoco and Glalie continue to use Flamethrower and Blizzard, each trying to overpower the other. With Roy's encouragement, Fuecoco eventually pushes through, Coral shouts at Glalie to use more power, but by then, it's too late; Fuecoco's Flamethrower overpowers Glalie’s Blizzard and [[Fainting|knocks it out]]. As Coral throws a tantrum over her loss, Chalce contacts her to withdraw. Coral refuses, wildly urging Glalie to get back up, but Sidian carries her off with Aerodactyl, much to Coral's anger as she recalls Glalie. As Liko watches them leave, Grusha comes out. Liko is a bit nervous, and Grusha sternly tells her to meet him at the principal's office, leaving her even more worried as she Terastallized even though she failed her test.

In the office, Liko stands before Clavell, Geeta, and Grusha. Clavell starts by saying that she Terastallized in battle even though she failed her test, and Liko reluctantly agrees. Grusha asks Liko if this is really the kind of person she is. Liko begs Grusha for forgiveness, but he rebukes this, saying that he's the one who should be sorry for misjudging her the way he did. Grusha understands now that when Liko fights on someone else's behalf, that's when her real strength shines through. Clavell praises Liko for protecting the academy, and Grusha passes Liko for her results, to her shock. Clavell and Geeta say that earning Grusha's respect and fighting for what's right makes her worthy of a Tera Orb as a Pokémon Trainer. Liko is pleased to hear this, feeling proud of herself while she thanks the staff.

Dot and Penny talk on the phone, saying that while Chalce got away with the data, they were still able to prove she was the intruder and mitigate the damage done to the school. Penny thanks Dot for her help before hanging up. Outside, Roy and Dot congratulate Liko for passing, the trio now being able to Terastallize anytime they want. With the second round of the tournament getting underway, [[Dendra]] shows Liko who she will be facing. To their shock, Liko and Roy find out they'll be battling each other.

==Blurb==

After an attack by Spinel, Liko finds herself trapped in a cave with Amethio. Terapagos seems to despise Amethio, but it eventually calms down, and both Trainers try to stay warm with the help of their Pokémon. Meanwhile, Roy and Dot battle Coral and Sidian, who are stalling to prevent Liko from being rescued. Back in the cave, Liko and Amethio sit by a fire and discuss their respective goals, realizing they have more in common than they thought. Their Pokémon work together to break an opening in the cave so they can escape. Liko happily reunites with her friends, but Amethio now must answer to Gibeon…

==Plot==
Resuming from the end of the [[HZ064|previous episode]], [[Liko]] and [[Amethio]] are still trapped in a cave underneath [[Glaseado Mountain]]. {{an|Terapagos}} angrily cries at Amethio while Liko tries to calm it down. Amethio takes a step forward and tells Terapagos that he's not planning anything now. Eventually, Terapagos calms down at realizing that Amethio won't try anything. As Amethio turns and walks the other way, Liko tries to say something, but hesitates. Watching Amethio try to find a way out, Liko starts to blame herself for making [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] worry about her again.

Meanwhile, [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] confront Roy and Dot at the mountain cabin. Roy tells them to move aside, but they refuse, initiating a {{pkmn|battle}}. Seeing how they don't have time to deal with the two [[Explorers]] admins, Roy and Dot have {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} attempt to make a run for it, only for {{p|Garganacl}} to cut off their path with {{m|Stone Edge}}. Coral has {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Blizzard}}, which blows Fuecoco and Quaxwell back before Garganacl follows up with {{m|Salt Cure}}. Quaxwell is able to dodge, but Fuecoco gets hit. This is followed by Quaxwell getting hit by Glalie's {{m|Ice Spinner}}. Sidian tells Coral to show some restraint, to which Coral impatiently claims that stalling for time just isn't her style. Hearing this, Dot and Roy realize that the Explorers are stalling them while going after Liko. Dot tells Roy that they have to get past the admins, starting with Garganacl. Fuecoco uses {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, which Garganacl blocks with Stone Edge. However, this leaves it open for a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Liquidation}} from Quaxwell. Just as Dot tells Sidian and Coral to move, Garganacl uses {{m|Recover}} to get back up, taking Roy and Dot back to square one while [[Chalce]] watches the battle from afar.
[[File:Liko and Amethio talking.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko and Amethio opening up to each other]]
In the cave, Liko notices how much colder it's getting. {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} gets some grass stalks from on the ledges above, wanting to keep them warm with it. Seeing this, [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] wants to help out as well, warming up Amethio with the heat from its fiery blades, to which Amethio thanks it for. Seeing what Ceruledge was doing, Liko hands it some grass to make a campfire. Exchanging a look with Liko, Amethio complies and has Ceruledge light the grass on fire with its blade. Liko thanks Amethio for the fire as they all gather around it to keep warm. Amethio points out Liko's hesitation when he {{Tera}}stallized his Ceruledge during their battle before and asks her why she stopped fighting with everything she had. Thinking back to [[HZ063|her loss]] against [[Grusha]], Liko says that she failed her Implementation Test for the [[Tera Training]] course. She thought if she could use Terastallization, she could learn more about Terapagos and be able to help it. Amethio rebukes this, however, asking Liko if that one setback is all it takes to declare herself worthless. Looking at Terapagos, Liko knows her search for the [[Six Heroes]] and [[Laqua]] isn't over, and says that she won't give up. Liko then asks Amethio why he and Ceruledge saved her life during [[HZ045|their battle]] with the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Amethio claims that he wasn't trying to save Liko, but she says that he did. Liko points out that the Explorers are bad, but there's something different about Amethio. She asks Amethio why he needs Terapagos and Rayquaza, to which Amethio answers that it's all for [[Gibeon]], his grandfather and the leader of the Explorers. Gibeon wants to reach Laqua, and Terapagos and Rayquaza are the ones who will lead him there. Amethio says that he wants to fulfill his grandfather's dream and live up to his expectations. Hearing Amethio's story, Terapagos acts hostile towards Amethio again, only for Liko to calm it down. She shares that she's on an adventure that she inherited from [[Diana|her own grandmother]] too, saying that Terapagos was the pendant she gave her. Amethio is surprised that Terapagos wants to go to Laqua as well. Liko believes that she and Amethio are following the same path, thinking that they could be more than enemies. Amethio admits that he never got to know Liko, who is thankful that they've opened up to each other.

Amethio feels a draft and looks up to see holes in the cave ceiling. He requests Liko’s help for getting out of the cave, and she agrees. Amethio explains the air blowing on the grass surrounding the holes above as well as the dim light, meaning there's a chance it could lead outside. Ceruledge and Floragato ride Amethio’s {{p|Corviknight}} up to the holes, where they use {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Magical Leaf}} to widen the gap, but this also causes debris to fall. Seeing a large rock heading towards Liko, Amethio tells her to move, but she sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and has her use {{m|Confusion}} to stop the rock before smashing it apart with {{m|Brutal Swing}}, thanking Hattrem for protecting her.

Roy and Dot are still struggling against Coral and Sidian. Having grown bored, Coral decides to finish them off with {{m|Self-Destruct}}. However, before the {{pkmn|category|Face Pokémon}} has a chance to execute the [[move]], it is struck down by a {{m|Moonblast}} from above, which came from Grusha and his {{p|Altaria}}. Grusha rides down on his snowboard and confronts the Explorers admins himself. As Glalie recovers, Sidian and Coral get a call from Chalce, who orders them to pull back to avoid a battle with a [[Gym Leader]], deeming that they've already achieved their objective. Coral refuses, but Sidian obliges, [[recall]]ing Garganacl and sending out {{p|Aerodactyl}} to fly away on. Coral swears that next time it will be different before following Sidian on her Glalie. Roy and Dot thank Grusha for his assistance before telling him that they lost track of Liko. Grusha tells them that he's heard about Liko from someone named [[Friede]] who called him about it a while ago. He has Altaria lead the way as they set out to find Liko.

Meanwhile, Liko and Amethio manage to escape the cave, much to the former's relief. Amethio warns Liko about Spinel, who's bound to lay another trap out for her eventually and is plotting something with the Treasure of Eternity. Liko points out that the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and the Explorers could work together, seeing how they share the same goal. Amethio denies this, saying that while their goals are the same, their paths are not. As for him, he'll decide to follow his own path. Amethio and Liko amicably part ways as a familiar {{p|Beheeyem}} spies on them from above.
[[File:Amethio expelled.png|thumb|250px|Amethio being punished by Gibeon]]
Reaching the place where Roy and Dot got separated from Liko, Grusha notices a mark in the snow made by the boulder blocking the path. Roy says that he could've noticed that if he had just looked closer, and Grusha points out that looking ahead doesn't always work. Altaria approaches the boulder and breaks it apart with a rapid series of pecks, revealing a surprised Liko from behind it. Roy and Dot run over to Liko, glad that she's okay. Friede watches overhead, thinking he didn't need to intervene after all. They all enter the cabin, where Grusha lights the furnace. Before anything else, Liko thanks Grusha, who says that it all worked out in the end. Liko thinks that she may have failed her test, but Terastallization isn't the only path she could take as long as she stays strong and never gives up. Friede asks Liko what Spinel came out here to do. Liko says that he used the Treasure of Eternity on his {{p|Umbreon}}, which made it go berserk. Friede shares that the Treasure of Eternity is also called [[Laquium]], which they kept at [[Exceed|a company he previously worked at]]. Liko feels that Umbreon was in a lot of pain, but went back to normal after Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and shattered the Treasure of Eternity. Friede asks Liko to keep an eye out for more activity from the Explorers while he heads back and fills everyone in. Dot and Roy suggest heading back to the [[Naranja Academy]], but Liko wants to go somewhere else first. As such, the trio makes their way to {{DL|Ten Sights of Paldea|Paldea's Highest Peak}} at the summit of the mountain. Liko admits that they have seen many sites already, but each one felt like the new best. Roy calls Liko over to take a group [[Photography|photo]] of their experience.

In the Explorers' base, Amethio walks into a meeting the admins set up for him. Amethio questions them what this is about, and Spinel brings up how he betrayed them. [[Hamber]] pulls up footage Spinel provided of Amethio helping Liko out of the cave they were trapped in. Chalce and Spinel scold Amethio for aiding the enemy and letting Terapagos slip away before his eyes. Amethio rebukes this, realizing that Spinel had set him up. Coral and Sidian have their suspicions, however, and Hamber asks for an explanation. Gibeon, however, enters the conversation, deeming any explanations unnecessary and expressing his disappointment in his grandson. Amethio tries to explain, but Gibeon says that he was the same as [[Cervantis|his father]] and would stray from the path too. With that, Gibeon relieves Amethio of his duties, and coldly states he never wants to see him again, leaving the latter gritting his teeth and clenching his fist.

==Blurb==

After checking in for her Tera Training usage test at Glaseado Gym, Liko joins Roy and Dot as they ride Cetoddle down a snowy slope. At the bottom, they encounter Gym Leader Grusha, who seems surprised to see Liko playing around before her test. Despite the chilly reception from Grusha, Liko remains determined to do her best. When the battle begins, Grusha’s Cetitan goes head-to-head against Floragato and then Hattrem. Eventually, Grusha sends out his Altaria, and Liko tries to keep up by Terastallizing Floragato. Grusha responds in kind, and Altaria becomes an Ice Tera Type. Can Liko and Floragato overcome a type disadvantage and win?

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are on their way to the [[Glaseado Gym|Glaseado Mountain Gym]] for Liko's second [[Tera Training]] test. They're starting to feel cold, despite their winter clothes, with Dot going as far as dramatically laying down and being ready to accept her fate, until the three of them spot a couple of people sliding past them on {{p|Cetoddle}}.

Arriving at the [[Gym]], the group learns that Liko still has some time before her test is due to begin, so they decide to try out Cetoddle {{wp|Bobsleigh|bobsledding}} as well in the meantime. Liko is a bit hesitant, but eventually agrees. Each of them rents a Cetoddle and starts sliding down a slope. Liko's path takes her through some woods, forcing {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} to use her vine to grab tree branches and control their movements to avoid hitting the trees. When Liko sees a cliff ahead of them, Floragato jumps onto some branches and knocks down a pile of snow that stops Cetoddle. As soon as Roy and Dot join her, however, it turns out that the "cliff" was just a shallow ditch, leaving Liko feeling embarrassed. Just then, the group is addressed by [[Grusha]], the [[Glaseado Mountain]] [[Gym Leader]] and Liko's opponent in the upcoming test. He says that Liko must feel confident about herself if she can afford to have fun before the test, before leaving.

The trio returns their rented Cetoddle to the sledding center near the Gym. Liko notices a magazine featuring Grusha on the cover, which the man in charge of the center mentions to be from just after Grusha won a major snowboarding competition. Grusha used to be a professional snowboarder, winning many awards, until one race had ended with him getting injured while avoiding a Cetoddle that had wandered into the racetrack. This injury had caused Grusha to retire from being a snowboarder, but that didn't stop him, as he instead decided to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], even {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the Cetoddle that had caused his accident, with him eventually rising to become Glaseado Mountain's Gym Leader. The man muses that Grusha could still return to being a snowboarder, but has not done so, because he cannot achieve the same results as he once used to, his harshness towards himself and others being his defining characteristic. Learning this, Liko is determined to receive an approval from Grusha, just as she receives a message that her test is ready to begin.

At the Glaseado Gym battlefield, Liko prepares for her test, with Grusha's Cetoddle arriving ahead of the Gym Leader himself. Grusha takes his position at the opposite end of the battlefield while Liko chooses Floragato as her first Pokémon. Grusha, in turn, chooses {{p|Cetitan}} as his lead. Dot can right away see that Liko is at a disadvantage, not only due to Floragato's [[Type#Type effectiveness|weakness]] to {{t|Ice}}, but also because of Cetitan's high defenses. Grusha initiates the match, and Liko seeks to utilize Floragato's high speed to her advantage with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Cetitan's bulk easily withstands the attack, rendering the strategy moot. After dodging an {{m|Icicle Spear}} barrage, Floragato tries {{m|Magical Leaf}}, only for it to be countered by Cetitan's {{m|Ice Spinner}}, which strikes Floragato at an unexpectedly high speed for such a slow Pokémon. Deciding on a change in strategy to hopefully to turn the tide, Liko [[recall]]s Floragato and sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} in her place. Cetitan uses Icicle Spear again, but Hattrem is able to stop and send the icicles back with {{m|Confusion}}. Being hit by its own attack hardly fazes Cetitan, though, and a collision between {{m|Brutal Swing}} and {{m|Liquidation}} ensues, followed by Cetitan dealing the finishing blow on Hattrem with Ice Spinner.

With no other choice, Liko is forced to send Floragato back out. Knowing that Cetitan's hide is too tough, she is aware that she has to think of another way to attack. As such, after having Floragato outrun another Ice Spinner, Liko waits for the moment when Cetitan opens its mouth in preparation for using Icicle Spear, and has the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} fire a Magical Leaf flurry into the Terra Whale Pokémon's mouth. Unable to protect the inside of its mouth from the attack, Cetitan stumbles and is knocked off its feet. Grusha chooses to recall Cetitan and send out his second Pokémon, {{p|Altaria}}. Dot grows even more worried, knowing that {{t|Grass}} [[move]]s do barely anything against a {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[type]]. Despite being at a disadvantage, Liko is feeling confident after having come this far and resolves to do her best. Floragato uses Quick Attack, but Altaria simply flies up before using {{m|Moonblast}}. While the initial Moonblast is blocked by Magical Leaf, a subsequent rapid-fire series of Moonblasts forces Floragato to take evasive action. Liko tries to think of a way to deal with a flying opponent, until she spots Altaria's feet. Recalling what Floragato did while they were bobsledding, Liko has Floragato charge in and wrap her vine around Altaria's feet, pulling it down and allowing Floragato to hit it with {{m|Acrobatics}}. Capitalizing on the moment, Liko takes out her [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallizes Floragato. In response, Grusha does the same and Terastallizes Altaria, turning it into an Ice type. Dot realizes that this [[type change]] has shifted the type matchups and made Altaria more vulnerable to Floragato's Grass moves. However, as Floragato unleashes a Terastallization-boosted Magical Leaf, Grusha declares that a change in type doesn't change the gap in skill level, and has Altaria counterattack with a boosted {{m|Ice Beam}}. After a brief clash, Grusha's words are proven true as Ice Beam overpowers Magical Leaf, briefly {{status|Freeze|freezing}} Floragato and causing her Terastallized state to come undone. The ice shatters and Floragato [[Fainting|collapses]], ending the battle in Liko's defeat.

Later, the trio is standing outside the Glaseado Gym. Liko apologizes to Floragato as she rests in her {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Roy and Dot try to cheer her up by reminding her that she can still pass the test despite losing, just like what [[HZ059|happened with Dot]]. Grusha comes out of the Gym, ready to deliver the results of the test; he declares that Liko has failed her test. Roy and Dot are shocked, feeling that Liko did her best despite losing, but Grusha makes it clear that simply trying isn't good enough, and he won't be accepting a [[rematch]], taking Liko's loss as an unapprovable sign of failure. Remembering the talk about Grusha's harshness towards himself and everyone else, Liko accepts his judgment with dignity, but is still left on the verge of tears as Grusha walks away.

==Blurb==

Despite losing against Gym Leader Ryme in Montenevera, Roy is determined not to let it get him down. Nemona suggests a round of Hyper Training to increase Fuecoco’s speed and power before a rematch. Then, Roy recalls how his love of singing began when his parents shared a song with him on their family boat. He realizes what he needs to do to win, and he and Fuecoco continue training with Nemona as Liko and Dot return to town. Finally, Roy returns to Ryme’s stage, and she accepts his rematch challenge. With a spirited song energizing their bond, can Roy and Fuecoco take the win?

==Plot==
Following [[Ryme]]'s latest concert and her [[HZ061|victory]] over [[Roy]], the latter is still feeling downcast, but [[Liko]] and [[Dot]] quickly manage to cheer him up. While Dot feels that Roy's [[Tera Training]] is over following his failure to pass the test, [[Nemona]] reminds them that Ryme did tell Roy to come back later, so he should still have another chance. However, as Liko and Dot point out, charging right back in without a new plan to win won't do him any favors. Nemona suggests that he should wait until tonight's concert to rechallenge her and spend the time until then to look for a clue to win. She invites Roy to do some [[Hyper Training]] with her, which will help increase one's stamina, speed, and power. To Liko and Dot's surprise, she extends the invitation to them as well, despite their hesitation and reluctance.

The first bit of Hyper Training the group is put through is running through the snow. While Roy and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} enjoy it, Liko and Dot soon fall down out of exhaustion and notice that Nemona, to their surprise, had actually run out of stamina out even before them. The second method of exercising is pushing enlarging snowballs towards a target tree with their Pokémon, though Dot and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} quickly give up and take shelter in a small igloo, not liking the cold. For the third exercise, Roy and Fuecoco run up a slope while countering and dodging attacks from Liko, Dot, and Nemona's Pokémon. At dusk, the group finally takes a break. While Roy feels the {{pkmn|training}} has been effective, he knows it's not necessarily enough to beat Ryme. Nemona notes that Roy's tactic of singing and attacking got repetitive enough for Ryme to know what was coming, so he needs to mix it up to win. Liko asks Roy what made him like singing in the first place, and he reveals it is due to the time he spent with [[Roy's parents|his parents]]. They're sailors, and they used to take him with them on their ship and sing together while they were sailing. Ultimately, though, they had to head out on a long voyage and leave Roy in the care of [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]. Roy had continued to sing the song he had learned from his parents and befriended a lot of Pokémon on [[Roy's hometown|his home island]], until he had [[HZ004|met Fuecoco]], a Pokémon that likes singing just as much as he does, which had resulted in them quickly becoming friends. Recounting this tale makes Roy suddenly realize something, and he decides to do some more Hyper Training with Fuecoco and Nemona. Knowing that there won't be much time left if Roy intends to make it in time for the concert, Liko and Dot agree to head back right away so they can stall for time for Roy to return.

As night falls over [[Montenevera]], Ryme's concert has been going on for a while now, but Liko and Dot are getting concerned that Roy has not returned yet, especially when the concert enters its open participation segment. They know they need to buy Roy some more time, but they're both reluctant to draw in the spotlight to do so. Fortunately, {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} takes the initiative and enters the stage for them, leaving them with no choice but to follow. They put up a performance of Quaxwell dancing while Floragato uses her flower bud to knock off the {{Berries}} they're holding. The performance is successful, and it ends up buying just enough time for Roy to arrive and request another shot at having a test battle with Ryme. Seeing that Roy is serious, Ryme accepts his challenge and announces that this'll be a special one-on-one test, her {{p|Toxtricity}} versus Roy's Fuecoco, which Roy accepts. Meanwhile, Nemona reunites with Liko and Dot, revealing that the training Roy and Fuecoco did after they left didn't involve any battle training, much to their surprise.

[[MC Sledge]] starts the battle, which Ryme initiates with a series of {{m|Overdrive}}s. Fuecoco dodges all of them and uses {{m|Flamethrower}} as a counterattack. While Toxtricity successfully blocks the attack with {{m|Boomburst}}, Liko and Dot recognize that the attack was closer than last time, demonstrating the effectiveness of the training they went through. Ryme also recognizes Roy's improvement and orders a {{m|Venoshock}} barrage, which Fuecoco dodges with {{m|Flame Charge}} before landing a hit and then attacking with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. The {{cat|Sound-based moves|sound move}} barely fazes Toxtricity, who lands an Overdrive on Fuecoco in response. Fuecoco stands back up, and Roy tells him to start belting out Disarming Voices again and again. He and Fuecoco start singing a new song while dodging and bouncing back from Toxtricity's attacks. Nemona notes that this is the same song that Roy and Fuecoco had sung after Liko and Dot had left. While Roy's previous sing-and-attack strategy had failed, there seems to be something different about it this time. As a proof to Nemona's words, the entire crowd watching the battle joins in on the cheerful song as well, while the repeated Disarming Voices are finally starting to have an effect on Toxtricity. Fuecoco uses Flame Charge to land another hit, bouncing all around Toxtricity before landing yet another Disarming Voice and following it up with {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, landing a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} blow on the {{2t|Electric|Poison}} type and making the audience cheer loudly.

Ryme is impressed by Roy's performance, but she refuses to give up, revealing her [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallizing Toxtricity into a {{t|Ghost}} type, which Roy responds to by Terastallizing Fuecoco. Toxtricity attacks with a barrage of Terastallization-boosted {{m|Hex}}es, all of which Fuecoco dodges while the crowd keeps singing and cheering. Fuecoco finally takes a hit from a close-range Hex, but his boosted Flamethrower pushes through and strikes Toxtricity, undoing its Terastallization and [[Fainting|knocking it out]]. MC Sledge officially announces Roy as the winner of the match, much to his delight. Liko and Dot join him on stage, offering their congratulations and asking Roy about his new song. He explains that instead of singing to get stronger, he had finally remembered that singing is actually a way to convey one's feelings to others. His singing is about him connecting with Fuecoco, which his training had helped to remind him of. Liko understands that everyone singing together and sharing their feelings had been what had allowed Fuecoco to grow stronger. Ryme walks up to them and compliments Roy on figuring out the true purpose of singing. She feels Fuecoco has a lot of potential, but ultimately, it'll be up to Roy to make sure if Fuecoco can reach his full potential or not. Taking out her [[Rotom Phone]], Ryme proudly announces that Roy has passed his test, sending him a stamp as proof. Roy's friends feel happy for him and now turn their attention towards [[HZ063|Liko's upcoming test]]. Unnoticed by them, Liko's opponent, [[Grusha]], watches them from the crowd before walking away.

==Major events==

* [[Roy]] has another {{Tera}}stal {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Ryme]] and wins.
* Roy passes his second test at [[Tera Training]] and receives his second stamp.

==Blurb==

Tera Training is almost over, so it’s time for Liko, Roy, and Dot to return to Naranja Academy. But first, they decide to take a detour to see the summit of Glaseado Mountain. On the way, Liko and Floragato become lost after Chalce and her Medicham surreptitiously block the trail. Meanwhile, Amethio tries to track down Spinel but encounters Liko instead, and the two Trainers begin to battle. But they’re soon interrupted by Spinel, who uses the Treasure of Eternity to make his Umbreon go berserk. It easily defeats Amethio’s Terastallized Ceruledge, but then Terapagos steps forward, enraged by what it sees…

==Plot==
Having [[HZ063|failed]] her [[Tera Training]] test with [[Grusha]], [[Liko]] is feeling dejected as she, [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] head back towards [[Naranja Academy]], knowing that she'll never get to use {{Tera}}stallization again now. Unnoticed by the group, [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}} is spying on them from above, relaying what it sees to Spinel himself in a van nearby. He is in contact with [[Chalce]], who tells him that [[Amethio]] has spotted him and his heading his way. Spinel smiles at this information, plotting to use this situation to his advantage.

Along their way down the mountain, the trio comes across a crossroads, with one path leading to {{DL|Ten Sights of Paldea|Paldea's Highest Peak}}, the summit of [[Glaseado Mountain]] and one of the [[Ten Sights of Paldea]]. Feeling the view from the summit could cheer Liko up, Roy suggests they visit it. Dot hates the idea of going someplace even colder, but ultimately, Liko agrees with Roy's idea. As they head up the mountainside, exhaustion starts to set in, so when Roy spots a cabin where they could rest for a bit, he and Dot head towards it. However, once they've passed, a boulder moves to block the path they've taken. Liko, distracted by her thoughts about making her friends worry about her, fails to notice this and takes a different path, following which the boulder, telekinetically moved by Chalce's {{p|Medicham}}, moves to block the path behind her. Amethio, meanwhile, riding his {{p|Corviknight}}, spots Spinel exiting his van and descends down slowly to follow him on foot. Elsewhere, Roy and Dot have realized that Liko has gotten separated from them and set out to look for her.

With Liko, she finally comes to realize that her path isn't taking her upwards anymore and figures she must've taken a wrong turn. With Amethio also looking for Spinel nearby, the two of them end up hearing each other's footsteps and run into each other, shocked by the unexpected encounter. Recovering from his surprise, Amethio decides to fulfill what he [[HZ045|vowed]] to do during their next meeting and steal {{an|Terapagos}}, sending out his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}. Refusing to hand Terapagos over, Liko places the bag containing it nearby before preparing to take on Ceruledge with {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, swearing to protect Terapagos. Liko remembers how badly [[HZ006|their last confrontation]] on [[Roy's hometown|Roy's home island]] went for her, but feels confident that she and Floragato have much better chances this time.

Ceruledge uses a flurry of {{m|Psycho Cut}}s, but Floragato uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to avoid them all, before dodging and countering an incoming {{m|Shadow Claw}} with {{m|Acrobatics}}. Following a powerful blow from {{m|Magical Leaf}}, even Amethio is forced to admit that Floragato has gotten stronger after [[Evolution|evolving]]. Ceruledge attacks with a flurry of {{m|Bitter Blade}}s, but Floragato nimbly dodges all of them before counterattacking with Magical Leaf. Amethio recognizes that Liko's strategy involves avoiding Ceruledge's {{type|Fire}} [[move]] Bitter Blade and attacking from a distance, understanding that Liko has actually learned to strategize in-battle now. As such, before Floragato can attack again, Amethio reveals his [[Tera Orb]] and Terastallizes Ceruledge into a pure {{t|Ghost}} type. With its Terastallization boost, Ceruledge starts to quickly overwhelm Floragato with a series of {{m|Phantom Force}} attacks. Remembering how she got overwhelmed by Grusha's Terastallization as well, Liko begins to falter as Floragato continues to get beaten down. Amethio declares the battle is over and aims for a finishing blow with Bitter Blade. However, before the attack can land, Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}} suddenly jumps in the middle of the battle, followed by Spinel himself. Spinel pretends to be surprised by Amethio's presence, but Amethio quickly sees through his lies and understands he let him and Liko battle each other to tire them out. Liko quickly realizes that Spinel is after Terapagos as well, but instead of trying to grab it, Spinel reveals a container holding his sample of [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]]. The container fills with a pink mist, which Spinel releases on his Umbreon, causing it to cry out in pain and become completely feral, shocking both Liko and Amethio.

Sensing the presence of Treasure of Eternity, Terapagos forces itself out if its bag and starts angrily crying out at Spinel. Amethio tries to have Ceruledge attack Umbreon, but Umbreon defeats Ceruledge with a single blow before the Terastallized {{pkmn|category|Fire Blades Pokémon}} can do anything, shocking Amethio even more. Spinel shows the Treasure of Eternity to Terapagos, waiting for its reaction. Its anger reaching a critical point, Terapagos lets out a loud cry of rage and suddenly {{a|Tera Shift|transforms}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}. Using its powers, Terapagos is able to make the Treasure of Eternity shatter and Umbreon calm down, though it quickly reverts back to its Normal Form from exhaustion. Spinel smiles with satisfaction, having seen what he wanted to see. [[Recall]]ing Umbreon, he thanks Liko for her cooperation and starts to leave, ignoring her and Amethio's questions about what just happened. Both Amethio and Liko give chase to Spinel, eventually leading them to a tunnel underneath the mountain. Amethio notices Liko following her and tells her to leave, but she refuses, wanting answers as well. The chase eventually leads both of them to a large underground cavern. However, Spinel is nowhere in sight, and Amethio realizes too late the chase was a trap when the entrance suddenly collapses shut behind them. Meanwhile, Spinel {{m|teleport}}s outside the cave with his Beheeyem and meets up with Chalce, telling her about Terapagos's reaction to Laquium and its power to destroy it, concluding that the two are polar opposites. Chalce, meanwhile, informs Spinel that [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] are taking care of things at the other end, which means that Liko and Amethio won't be getting help anytime soon. Knowing that [[Gibeon]] holds Amethio in high regard as his grandson, Spinel has decided to make Amethio disappear before he can get in the way of their plans.

In [[Levincia]], [[Friede]] is contacted by Roy and Dot about how they've lost Liko and can't get in touch with her. Friede agrees to head to Glaseado Mountain right away, making a call to the [[Glaseado Gym]] as he does so. At the mountain hut, Roy and Dot decide to resume their search for Liko, but are suddenly confronted by a disguised Sidian and Coral. While Amethio's escape attempts fail to yield results and Terapagos wakes up and reemerges from its bag to angrily cry out at him, Sidian declares that they've kept up their masquerade for long enough. With that, he and Coral undo their disguises and send out {{p|Garganacl}} and {{p|Glalie}} to confront Roy and Dot.

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, and Dot arrive in Montenevera for Roy’s Tera Training usage test against Gym Leader Ryme. But Ryme’s not at the Gym, and the three Trainers are directed outside to a stage where a concert is happening soon. Eventually, Roy calls out to try to find Ryme, and he gets a response—but it’s from announcer MC Sledge, who wants to battle Roy to get the crowd excited for the main event. After using their song to get in sync, Roy and Fuecoco win. Then, Ryme takes the stage, and she agrees to battle Roy—but only after facing off in a rap battle!

==Plot==
[[Roy]] and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} are in high spirits, singing together as they, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] arrive at the town of [[Montenevera]] for Roy's second [[Tera Training]] battle. The group notes the numerous lit candles around the settlement, which a couple of locals explain to be a part of the town's long-held tradition of honoring the souls of those who have passed on, part of which involves holding festivals and concerts to help them move on, with two concerts due to be held this very day, one during the day and another one at night. The locals help direct Roy and his friends to the [[Montenevera Gym]], but the Gym receptionist informs them that [[Ryme]] isn't present at the moment. The receptionist directs the group to search for her near the plaza stage, but as the group does so, they're suddenly surrounded by a pack of {{p|Greavard}} popping out of the snow. While they at first find them cute, they quickly start feeling lethargic, which Dot's [[Rotom Phone]] reveals to be because of Greavard's natural characteristic of slowly sapping away the life essence of anyone near them. Fortunately, a visit to a restaurant helps everyone recover, but while they eat, a curious {{an|Terapagos}} approaches a pair of {{p|Drifloon}}, who grab it and take it for a ride through the air, much to the group's alarm, so they run after them. A gust of wind causes the Drifloon to lose their grip on Terapagos, but it's saved by [[Nemona]] and {{p|Pawmot}} as they show up, to the group's surprise.

Heading back to the plaza, Nemona learns of Roy's test and corrects his misconception that Ryme would be watching the concert, since she's actually both a [[Gym Leader]] and a rapper who will be performing on-stage. Nemona herself had come to see the concert since it involves an open participation segment, which can involve [[Pokémon battle]]s. At the plaza, the group finds a big crowd surrounding the stage, though Ryme herself is still nowhere to be seen. Roy calls out loudly that he wishes to battle Ryme, but instead of Ryme, his call is answered by a man named [[MC Sledge]], who is the host of today's concert and more than happy to have a battle with Roy as a rehearsal, which Roy is happy to accept, joining MC Sledge on stage. MC Sledge sends out {{p|Sableye}}, while Roy calls forth Fuecoco, as usual. Sableye attacks with {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Power Gem}}, both of which Fuecoco dodges before starting to sing with Roy, firing himself up and defeating Sableye with a single {{m|Flame Charge}}. The crowd cheers for Roy as he leaves the stage. Right then, MC Sledge welcomes the star of the day's concert; Ryme, the MC of RIP. Roy is shocked, having not expected that the woman he met in the woods [[HZ052|a while back]] was actually Ryme, whom Nemona reveals to be a {{type|Ghost}} [[Type expert|specialist]]. Ryme performs a [[Ghost Rhyme|quick song]] for the audience. When she calls out to anyone wanting to join her on stage, Roy eagerly volunteers, wanting to battle her for his Tera Training test.

As Roy returns to the stage, Ryme is surprised to see that he is the Tera Training student she had heard was coming. Roy reveals to her that he ended up [[HZ053|meeting]] the {{p|Annihilape}} she had told him of, which she's happy to hear. However, before their test, she demands that he must beat her in a {{wp|Battle rap|rap battle}} first. Roy responds to the challenge with vigor, countering Ryme's rhymes with his own, which satisfy the Gym Leader more than enough for her to be ready for the test. Before they start, though, she wants to know what {{Tera}}stallizing means to him. Roy responds that to him, it's something he needs to get closer to his dream, the [[Black Rayquaza]]. With her question answered, Ryme chooses {{p|Houndstone}} as the first of her two Pokémon, while Roy chooses to lead with {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}. The {{pkmn|category|Frigatebird Pokémon}} attacks with {{m|Spark}}, which grazes Houndstone despite its attempt to dodge, demonstrating Kilowattrel's improved {{stat|speed}} following its [[Evolution]]. More grazing Sparks follow, until Ryme tells Houndstone to use {{m|Phantom Force}}, dodging the next attack and striking Kilowattrel, before finishing it off with {{m|Crunch}}.

Following Kilowattrel's defeat, Fuecoco steps forward to battle. As usual, Roy and Fuecoco start off by singing their song, during which Houndstone uses {{m|Scary Face}}, following up with Crunch just as Fuecoco charges in with Flame Charge. The attacks repel each other, and while Fuecoco's second Flame Charge misses due to Phantom Force, he is fast enough to turn around just as Houndstone reappears and hit it with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, defeating it. Ryme [[recall]]s Houndstone and notes Roy's confidence following the [[Fainting|knockout]]. As such, she questions what drives Roy and Fuecoco to sing. After a bit of hesitation, Roy answers that it helps them grow stronger and win.

For her second Pokémon, Ryme chooses {{form|Toxtricity|Low Key Form}} {{p|Toxtricity}}, which Liko notes to not match her specialty type. Roy and Fuecoco perform their song once more before attacking with Flamethrower, but Toxtricity uses {{m|Overdrive}} to repel the attack. Roy changes tactics and has Fuecoco use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} instead, but it too is blocked by another Overdrive. Fuecoco's attempt to attack directly with Flame Charge is also foiled, this time by {{m|Boomburst}}, making Roy grow more and more desperate. Ryme reveals that her Toxtricity's [[Ability]] is {{a|Punk Rock}}, which boosts the power of its {{cat|sound-based moves}}. Roy refuses to give up and has Fuecoco sing once more before attacking with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Toxtricity, however, doesn't even flinch from the hit. In the crowd, Nemona reveals to Liko that Punk Rock also has a second effect that decreases the [[damage]] taken from sound-based moves. In addition, Disarming Voice is a {{t|Fairy}} move that doesn't do much against a {{t|Poison}} type like Toxtricity, not helping the matter. Ryme starts her counterattack and orders Toxtricity to use {{m|Hex}}. Fuecoco dodges the attack by jumping into the air, which backfires as he's hit by an unavoidable Overdrive while mid-air. Roy's desperation takes over, and he immediately Terastallizes Fuecoco in a rushed manner that Ryme criticizes him of. Before Fuecoco can do anything, Toxtricity blinds him with {{m|Venoshock}} and finishes him off with an Overdrive, ending the battle without Ryme even having to resort to using Terastallization herself.

Roy is devastated by his loss, and his mood only worsens when Ryme criticizes him for being a bad partner to his Pokémon and declares that he has failed his test. Ryme turns her back on Roy, tells him to return once he's "washed his soul", and walks away to resume her concert, leaving Roy to be with his friends and try to cope with how he has failed to utilize his partner's full potential.

==Blurb==

Dot is ready to take her Tera Training usage test in Medali, but her opponent, Larry, isn’t at his Gym! As she, Liko, and Roy search for him, Quaxly becomes interested in the dancing of a nearby Oricorio. Quaxly copies Oricorio’s dance steps, impressing the crowd, and Oricorio’s Trainer shares a tip about where Larry could be—at Treasure Eatery. There, Larry agrees to battle Dot. Quaxly and Tinkatink go up against Larry’s Dudunsparce and Staraptor, and Quaxly makes good use of its strategy to copy the movements of other Pokémon. Will Dot be able to win against such a strong opponent?

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] have arrived at the [[Medali Gym]] for Dot's second [[Tera Training]] test against [[Gym Leader]] [[Larry]]. However, to their dismay, the Gym receptionist informs them that Larry is not present at the moment, having left to visit Gym clientele, although he should still be somewhere in [[Medali]]. Exiting the Gym, Dot is feeling especially annoyed, as she had already prepared a strategy for her {{pkmn|battle}} against Larry. Before they can start looking for Larry, Dot's {{p|Quaxly}} hears something and runs off. The group follows, ultimately finding Quaxly being attracted to a dance performance put up by an {{p|Oricorio}}. Once the performance finishes, Quaxly approaches Oricorio and is noticed by its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a dancer named [[Diva]]. Upon hearing that they're looking for Larry, she agrees to tell them where he is, just as long as Quaxly joins her for a dance first. Having no other choice, Dot has Quaxly demonstrate his dance moves. Diva compliments the performance, but her Oricorio's own performance with a fiery {{m|Revelation Dance}} still leaves Quaxly impressed, so he starts mimicking Oricorio's dance steps while using {{m|Low Kick}}. Diva is impressed and compliments Quaxly's dedication to his dance, until Roy reminds her that she was supposed to tell them where Larry is, which she had completely forgotten about.

Following Diva's advice, the group arrives at the {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, whose name they [[HZ058|remember]] from the [[Anything Goes Café]]. After entering, they tell the welcoming staff members that they're looking for Larry, who has just finished a meal at the counter and comes to greet the children. Seeing him face to face, the three young Trainers [[HZ055|remember him]] from [[Naranja Academy]], with Liko and Roy being surprised to learn that he's both a Gym Leader and an [[Elite Four]] member. He agrees to have his test with Dot and asks the {{tc|Cook}} for help. She happily obliges and presses a button that transforms the dining area into a battlefield, much to the trio's surprise. As Larry and Dot take their places on the field, Larry reminds Dot that in this test, she'll be using two Pokémon and will be judged depending on how she uses {{Tera}}stallization under those conditions.

Since {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} has never battled before, Dot chooses to lead with Quaxly, while Larry chooses {{p|Dudunsparce}} as his first Pokémon. The battle begins with Dot starting to execute her planned strategy, having Quaxly use {{m|Water Gun}} and then attack with {{m|Liquidation}} while her opponent is blinded by the first [[move]]. However, before Quaxly's second attack can hit, Dudunsparce uses {{m|Glare}}, causing Quaxly to become {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} and leaving him wide open for a {{m|Boomburst}}. With Dot's plan thrown off, she makes the choice to [[recall]] Quaxly and send forth Tinkatink. While the {{pkmn|category|Metalsmith Pokémon}} eagerly responds to the call for her first battle, she is quickly intimidated by the much bigger Dudunsparce, so Quaxly emerges from his {{i|Poké Ball}} to encourage her. Dudunsparce uses Glare again, but Tinkatink avoids the paralysis by covering her eyes with her hammer. As such, Dudunsparce follows up with {{m|Hyper Drill}}. Tinkatink dodges the attack before meeting the rapidly spinning Dudunsparce with {{m|Brutal Swing}}. Both spinning Pokémon clash with each other several times before being sent skidding back. Dot tells Tinkatink to use Brutal Swing again, but while she's still winding up, Larry recalls Dudunsparce and sends out {{p|Staraptor}}, causing Tinkatink's attack to miss the airborne opponent. While Tinkatink is disoriented, Staraptor strikes her with {{m|Wing Attack}}, defeating her.

With no other choice, Dot is forced to send Quaxly back into the battle. She once again tries to follow her plan, having Quaxly blind Staraptor with Water Gun and then following up with {{m|Pound}}, but Staraptor is hardly fazed by the first attack before using {{m|Hurricane}} to send Quaxly flying back before his Pound can hit. Staraptor follows up with {{m|Air Slash}}. Although the move makes contact, Dot has Quaxly use the smoke cover created by it to get behind Staraptor and attack with Liquidation. However, Quaxly's paralysis causes him to seize up in the middle of the attack, allowing Staraptor's Wing Attack to easily overpower it.

Despite having taken heavy hits, Quaxly is still able to stand back up, although Dot is starting to feel frustrated that nothing she tries out is working. Suddenly, though, she notices Quaxly flapping his wings the same way Staraptor is, and remembers how Quaxly had earlier combined his own moves with Oricorio's dance moves. This gives Dot an idea, and she tells Quaxly to combine his moves with other moves he's seen; combining Dudunsparce's deep breath when using Boomburst into his Water Gun, using Oricorio's dance steps to use Low Kick, flapping his wings like Staraptor while using Pound, and finally spinning like Tinkatink when using Liquidation. Staraptor meets the last move with Wing Attack, but is overpowered and sent flying back. Dot compliments Quaxly's performance, but suddenly, Quaxly starts glowing and changing shape, [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}. Dot is feeling ecstatic by this unexpected event and seizes the chance by Terastallizing Quaxwell. The Practicing Pokémon attacks with a powered-up Liquidation, powering through an Air Slash to deal a big hit and sending Staraptor crashing to the ground. However, before he can unleash another move, Quaxwell's paralysis from earlier suddenly catches up with him, leaving him immobilized. Larry decides to capitalize on this opportunity and pulls out his own [[Tera Orb]], Terastallizing Staraptor into a pure {{t|Normal}} type. With the boost from Terastallization, Staraptor swiftly attacks the paralyzed Quaxwell with a strong {{m|Facade}}, [[Fainting|knocking him out]] and concluding the battle. Dot is left dismayed when she felt she was so close to success.

Soon after, Larry starts reading his finished performance report. To Dot's surprise, Larry declares that she has passed the test, citing the reasons for his decision being the good utilization of two Pokémon, the well-timed Terastallization with a newly evolved Pokémon, and her ability to combine her Pokémon's moves together. As acknowledgement of his decision, Larry sends a stamp to Dot's [[Rotom Phone]]. Liko and Roy take a moment to congratulate their friend before Roy checks Quaxwell's [[Pokédex entry]], learning that Quaxwell are known for incorporating moves of people and other Pokémon into their dances. Liko and Roy understand that it was Quaxly doing just this with his dance moves that had allowed him to evolve. Dot feels her partner has shot way past her and swears to catch up with him. The mood of the moment is abruptly interrupted by {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} growing hungry once more, so the group sits down to eat some [[rice ball]]s. While the Cook keeps generously giving them as much as they can eat, Larry is shown their bill. Knowing he can't split up the check, he's forced to pay for the entire thing himself, much to his dismay, and then takes his leave while the children continue to eat, including Dot with her newly evolved partner.

Diva is impressed and compliments Quaxly's dedication to his dance, until Roy reminds her that she was supposed to tell them where Larry is, which she had completely forgotten about.

Following Diva's advice, the group arrives at the {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, whose name they [[HZ058|remember]] from the [[Anything Goes Café]]. After entering, they tell the welcoming staff members that they're looking for Larry, who has just finished a meal at the counter and comes to greet the children. Seeing him face to face, the three young Trainers [[HZ055|remember him]] from [[Naranja Academy]], with Liko and Roy being surprised to learn that he's both a Gym Leader and an [[Elite Four]] member. He agrees to have his test with Dot and asks the {{tc|Cook}} for help. She happily obliges and presses a button that transforms the dining area into a battlefield, much to the trio's surprise. As Larry and Dot take their places on the field, Larry reminds Dot that in this test, she'll be using two Pokémon and will be judged depending on how she uses {{Tera}}stallization under those conditions.

Since {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} has never battled before, Dot chooses to lead with Quaxly, while Larry chooses {{p|Dudunsparce}} as his first Pokémon. The battle begins with Dot starting to execute her planned strategy, having Quaxly use {{m|Water Gun}} and then attack with {{m|Liquidation}} while her opponent is blinded by the first [[move]]. However, before Quaxly's second attack can hit, Dudunsparce uses {{m|Glare}}, causing Quaxly to become {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} and leaving him wide open for a {{m|Boomburst}}. With Dot's plan thrown off, she makes the choice to [[recall]] Quaxly and send forth Tinkatink. While the {{pkmn|category|Metalsmith Pokémon}} eagerly responds to the call for her first battle, she is quickly intimidated by the much bigger Dudunsparce, so Quaxly emerges from his {{i|Poké Ball}} to encourage her. Dudunsparce uses Glare again, but Tinkatink avoids the paralysis by covering her eyes with her hammer. As such, Dudunsparce follows up with {{m|Hyper Drill}}. Tinkatink dodges the attack before meeting the rapidly spinning Dudunsparce with {{m|Brutal Swing}}. Both spinning Pokémon clash with each other several times before being sent skidding back. Dot tells Tinkatink to use Brutal Swing again, but while she's still winding up, Larry recalls Dudunsparce and sends out {{p|Staraptor}}, causing Tinkatink's attack to miss the airborne opponent. While Tinkatink is disoriented, Staraptor strikes her with {{m|Wing Attack}}, defeating her.

With no other choice, Dot is forced to send Quaxly back into the battle. She once again tries to follow her plan, having Quaxly blind Staraptor with Water Gun and then following up with {{m|Pound}}, but Staraptor is hardly fazed by the first attack before using {{m|Hurricane}} to send Quaxly flying back before his Pound can hit. Staraptor follows up with {{m|Air Slash}}. Although the move makes contact, Dot has Quaxly use the smoke cover created by it to get behind Staraptor and attack with Liquidation. However, Quaxly's paralysis causes him to seize up in the middle of the attack, allowing Staraptor's Wing Attack to easily overpower it.

Despite having taken heavy hits, Quaxly is still able to stand back up, although Dot is starting to feel frustrated that nothing she tries out is working. Suddenly, though, she notices Quaxly flapping his wings the same way Staraptor is, and remembers how Quaxly had earlier combined his own moves with Oricorio's dance moves. This gives Dot an idea, and she tells Quaxly to combine his moves with other moves he's seen; combining Dudunsparce's deep breath when using Boomburst into his Water Gun, using Oricorio's dance steps to use Low Kick, flapping his wings like Staraptor while using Pound, and finally spinning like Tinkatink when using Liquidation. Staraptor meets the last move with Wing Attack, but is overpowered and sent flying back. Dot compliments Quaxly's performance, but suddenly, Quaxly starts glowing and changing shape, [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}. Dot is feeling ecstatic by this unexpected event and seizes the chance by Terastallizing Quaxwell. The Practicing Pokémon attacks with a powered-up Liquidation, powering through an Air Slash to deal a big hit and sending Staraptor crashing to the ground. However, before he can unleash another move, Quaxwell's paralysis from earlier suddenly catches up with him, leaving him immobilized. Larry decides to capitalize on this opportunity and pulls out his own [[Tera Orb]], Terastallizing Staraptor into a pure {{t|Normal}} type. With the boost from Terastallization, Staraptor swiftly attacks the paralyzed Quaxwell with a strong {{m|Facade}}, [[Fainting|knocking him out]] and concluding the battle. Dot is left dismayed when she felt she was so close to success.

Soon after, Larry starts reading his finished performance report. To Dot's surprise, Larry declares that she has passed the test, citing the reasons for his decision being the good utilization of two Pokémon, the well-timed Terastallization with a newly evolved Pokémon, and her ability to combine her Pokémon's moves together. As acknowledgement of his decision, Larry sends a stamp to Dot's [[Rotom Phone]]. Liko and Roy take a moment to congratulate their friend before Roy checks Quaxwell's [[Pokédex entry]], learning that Quaxwell are known for incorporating moves of people and other Pokémon into their dances. Liko and Roy understand that it was Quaxly doing just this with his dance moves that had allowed him to evolve. Dot feels her partner has shot way past her and swears to catch up with him. The mood of the moment is abruptly interrupted by {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} growing hungry once more, so the group sits down to eat some [[rice ball]]s. While the Cook keeps generously giving them as much as they can eat, Larry is shown their bill. Knowing he can't split up the check, he's forced to pay for the entire thing himself, much to his dismay, and then takes his leave while the children continue to eat, including Dot with her newly evolved partner.

==Blurb==

While visiting Medali, Liko, Roy, and Dot decide to try one of its famous eateries. Enter the Anything Goes Café, where disharmony seasons both the food and the relationships. Nandy and Mokichi—and their Kingambit—are struggling to bring in customers thanks to their complicated house special. And to top it off, Kingambit’s booming voice leaves a bad taste in patrons’ mouths. The trio and Quaxly lend a hand, with Dot using lessons she learned from streaming to improve the menu and the dining experience—and to battle! The special ingredient for success seems to lie with Kingambit, but something about the Pokémon seems off. Can our heroes save the day…and the café?

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] have arrived at [[Medali]] for Dot's second [[Tera Training]] test. Walking through the city renowned for its many restaurants, they spot an old couple arguing while trying to clean up a griddle. [[Dot's Tinkatink]] eagerly approaches the item, but a sudden, booming yell from a {{p|Kingambit}} halts her and startles the group with its volume. The old couple, [[Nandy and Mokichi]], apologize for the Pokémon's habit of trying to attract customers and invite the children to visit their restaurant, the [[Anything Goes Café]], as an apology for scaring them. While waiting for their meals, Roy checks Kingambit's data on his [[Rotom Phone]], learning that it's a Pokémon that strives forward with brute strength, which is showcased when it accidentally sets down a salad plate hard enough to shatter the plate, despite trying to be gentle with it, and bows down in apology. Nandy asks Kingambit to return outside to welcome customers while the trio gets their meals, which turns out to be mishmash bowlfuls of food items called House Specials.

The children dig into their meals, but the assortment of flavors in it leaves them confused at how to describe how it tastes like. Nandy and Mokichi get into an argument regarding Mokichi's way of preparing the meal in a thoughtless fashion of piling together random stuff. Dot, meanwhile, discovers {{wp|udon}} at the bottom of the meal, which she finds very tasty. Nandy and Mokichi reveal that the noodles were made by Kingambit, who excels at any job that requires a lot of muscle. As the group's Pokémon get their own sets of House Specials, Liko questions the reason behind the dish's extravagant nature. Nandy explains that they are trying to not get shown up by the {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, the biggest and most popular restaurant in Medali, which has started to drain away even some of their old regulars. As such, they came up with the House Special to compete with the Treasure Eatery's menu, though they end up tossing everything into a single bowl to make it easier for Kingambit to carry. Mokichi prepares to make more, only to notice that his iron griddle is missing. Noticing that Tinkatink is also missing, Dot fears the worst and rushes outside to, indeed, find Tinkatink having just finished fashioning the griddle into a new hammer. To pay up for the lost griddle, the children are put work at the restaurant for the rest of the day, with Liko helping to clean the place up, Roy going outside to advertise the Anything Goes Café alongside Kingambit, and Dot heading out to buy a new griddle. Roy questions Dot's decision to take Tinkatink along, considering what happened with the previous griddle, but Dot isn't worried, knowing that Tinkatink has an eye for good quality iron, so the griddle that she finds interesting is bound to be a good one. Liko is surprised to see Dot being more in-tune with Tinkatink than she expected, but the realization also makes her happy.

Dot eventually returns with a new griddle, finding Roy having a hard time getting any new customers for the restaurant, partially due to Kingambit's booming voice intimidating people. Kingambit's loud attempt to greet a young boy results in the boy starting to cry, but he's quickly cheered up by [[Dot's Quaxly]]'s happy dancing. The dance performance attracts a small crowd, which Roy and Dot use to grab people's attention and lead then to the Anything Goes Café. Soon enough, the restaurant is filled with people, keeping, Liko, Roy, and Dot busy, though Mokichi is briefly distracted by how silent Kingambit has suddenly gotten. Taking a break from the exhausting work, Dot goes to sit outside, where he's soon met by Mokichi. Mokichi says that Kingambit is not feeling as cheerful as usual, which has never happened before since they first met years ago and started the Anything Goes Café together. Dot is surprised to learn that Nandy wasn't at the restaurant from the start. Mokichi explains how he first met her when Kingambit's yelling caused her to throw out her back, and an apology meal at the restaurant had eventually led to them living together. Kingambit is the thing that keeps the two of them cheerful, so seeing it lose its cheerfulness worries Mokichi. Dot feels that maybe her and her friends taking its usual jobs is why Kingambit is feeling downcast, but Mokichi assures her to not blame herself, only wanting to find out how to get Kingambit back to its old, cheerfully hollering self again.

Seeing several leaving customers feeling hesitant about the idea of coming back makes Dot realize something. She, her friends, Nandy, and Mokichi gather inside the restaurant as she gives a briefing on what she feels is wrong. The problem, she determines, lies in the fact that while Quaxly was able to get them some customers just now, the House Special is so full of different stuff that it doesn't have a distinct flavor which would leave a lasting impression on people and make them want to come back for more. She bases her deduction on her career as a livestreamer, which requires her to always think of new ways to make viewers come back to view and comment on her videos. She declares that the solution to this problem lies in the udon made by Kingambit, the most delicious part of the meal. Since the House Special is currently so full of everything that the flavor of the udon doesn't have a chance to leave a lasting impression, it needs to be revised to into a new specialty dish that allows Kingambit's udon to stand on its own. Kingambit backs away at this sudden new suggestion, only to almost back straight into [[Sidian]] as he opens the front door to enter. He barely has enough time to recognize Liko, Roy, and Dot before Quaxly charges at him, only to stumble and slam straight into his leg. Sidian mistakes this act as a challenge for a [[Pokémon battle]] and accepts the supposed challenge. Sensing an opportunity, Dot tells Kingambit to start preparing udon dough for the afternoon opening.

Moving outside the restaurant, Sidian and Dot start their battle. Sidian's {{p|Garganacl}} makes the first move with {{m|Salt Cure}}, which Quaxly dodges. Quaxly tries to counterattack with {{m|Liquidation}}, but is blocked by Garganacl's {{m|Iron Defense}}. A crowd starts to gather to watch the battle, just like Dot had hoped in order to gather more customers. When Garganacl uses Salt Cure again, Dot has Quaxly counter it with a {{m|Low Kick}}, creating a beautiful shower of salt particles that captivates the crowd. Dot asks Sidian to do the same again, which he is all too agreeing to oblige to, allowing Quaxly to create another captivating shower of salt. Dot then calls out to Kingambit, who lets out one of its signature loud yells, attracting the crowd's attention to the restaurant. To seal the deal, Dot tells Liko to open up the door, allowing the crowd to smell the delicious scent of Kingambit's udon dough. Dot announces to the crowd that starting from this afternoon opening, the restaurant's menu will include the brand-new Kingambit Noodles meal, and invites everyone to come in. The crowd eagerly follows, leaving Sidian confused at what happened to their battle, though he too quickly notices how hungry he feels.

The Kingambit Noodles prove to be a massive success, with customers, including Sidian, finding it delicious, some of them even asking for seconds and promising to come again. Kingambit is back to doing its usual hollers, making Dot happy to see it being so cheerful again. Eventually, Liko, Roy, and Dot all get to taste the new meal as well, finding it just as tasty as expected. Mokichi thanks the children, and especially Dot, for their help. While he and his wife start working on more udon, at the counter, [[Larry]] finishes his own bowlful, liking the simplicity of the meal. As he leaves, Dot seems to suddenly notice him and tries to get a closer look, but tells her friends it was nothing when they turn to look and see no one.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]: ''What is the characteristic of {{p|Kingambit}}'s fighting style?''
** Choices: Brute force, intelligence, a surprise attack
** Answer: Brute force
* It is one of the few instances [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|in this series]] where the English dub title isn't a more or less direct translation of the Japanese title. Instead the English dub title is a play on the idiom "[[Wiktionary:fit for a king|fit for a king]]".
* At one point, [[Nandy and Mokichi|Nandy]] mentions how "that adventurer guy" hasn't shown up lately. This is likely a reference to a line spoken by [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', where he mentions having once dined at a restaurant when a married couple started arguing loudly and ruined his appetite, a description that matches Nandy and [[Nandy and Mokichi|Mokichi]]'s portrayal in this episode.
** In the English dub, Nandy mentions how they "don't even get the adventurers passing through no more" - making the reference less direct.
*After the second time [[Dot]] commands {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} to deflect {{p|Garganacl}}'s {{m|Salt Cure}}, an {{p|Azumarill}} can be seen coughing, likely a reference to how Salt Cure's effect does double the damage to {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* This is the first episode in which [[Sidian]] appears but [[Coral]] does not, as well as the first episode in which Sidian is the only member of the [[Explorers]] to appear.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Dot]] and her {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}, and the second features Dot and her {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}.
* [[Liko]], Dot, [[Roy]], {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, and Quaxly narrate the preview for the [[HZ059|next episode]].

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, and Dot return to Naranja Academy with Friede, who asks Director Clavell and Chairwoman Geeta what they know about Terapagos. Geeta shares historical sketches of two different forms of the Pokémon, and she explains that another sketch in the Scarlet Book is believed to depict a mysterious third form. On her recommendation, the students then visit history teacher Raifort, who takes them on a thrilling treasure hunt and advises them that the past is key to learning about the future. Liko is excited to discover even more about Terapagos, but first, it’s time for another round of Tera Training tests!

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have gathered to eat at [[Barato's]] to celebrate [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] passing their first [[Tera Training]] tests while [[Murdock]] cries lots of tears for Dot's performance in particular. Dot tells him to get a grip and that the course isn't even over yet. Liko agrees with Dot saying they can't let up now. [[Mollie]] and [[Orla]] tell the kids that they also should slow down and relax to have a good balance in life. Roy calls the waiter to get him another orange juice. Orla notices a smiling Liko, who says that it does her heart good to see everyone together again. Orla tells Liko that by the time they get back, the ship should be airworthy again. [[Friede]] tells the kids that he will head over to the [[Naranja Academy]] once the meal is over. Dot says the implementation tests don't start until tomorrow. Friede then shocks everyone when he reveals that he made an appointment to see [[Geeta]] and [[Clavell]].

Meanwhile, back at the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Ludlow]] finds a [[Gimmighoul Coin]] on the ground and picks it up. He remarks that every being bears a history, so too does every object bearing an imbued emotion. As he looks down however, the coin disappears from his hand.

Friede and the kids meet with Clavell and Geeta, the latter in particular being familiar with his work as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. Just as Geeta asks about {{an|Terapagos}}, said Pokémon pokes its head out of Liko's bag, shocking Geeta and Clavell. They ask where Liko found it, and she answers that it was a gift from [[Diana|her grandmother]] when it was a pendant. Friede mentions sightings of {{p|Terapagos}} in [[Paldea]] through old records, hoping that Geeta would know something about them. Geeta brings up old sketches of Terapagos's forms on the screen. Liko recognizes the sketch on the right as Terapagos's {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} that it took on [[HZ045|when protecting Liko]] from the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Clavell says that while no details of Terapagos have been recovered, it's said to be a Pokémon with a strong connection to the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. They turn to a photo of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. Geeta says that a Pokémon resembling Terapagos was sighted in [[Area Zero]], the deepest point of the crater, which was recorded in the [[Scarlet Book]]. Hearing this, Dot grabs the Scarlet Book from her bag and shows it to Clavell and Geeta. The latter skims through it and finds a sketch of what is thought to be a third form Terapagos can take. Liko tells Geeta that Terapagos wants to go to a place called [[Laqua]]. Roy says that it's a place that the ancient adventurer reached a hundred years ago. From this, Geeta hypothesizes that solving the mysteries of Terapagos will help solve the mysteries of Laqua. Roy suggests going to Area Zero, but Clavell says that entering will be difficult, seeing how there was recently an accident there. Nevertheless, Geeta offers to accompany them one day in doing so. She also points them to someone who may know of things from a hundred years ago.

At the library, Dot puts the Scarlet Book back in its place. Friede remarks how mysteries only lead them into even more mysteries begging to be uncovered. Roy and Dot notice Liko's look of unease, to which she admits that she doesn't really know anything about Terapagos. Roy disagrees, saying that she's learned a lot about its personality. The group is greeted by the Naranja Academy's history teacher, [[Raifort]]. Liko is about to introduce herself to Raifort when she sees another Terapagos by her side. Raifort brushes this off as an "{{a|illusion}}", and sure enough, the Pokémon reveals itself as her {{p|Zoroark}}. Liko scans the {{pkmn|category|Illusion Fox Pokémon}} with her [[Rotom Phone]], and as she lowers it, Zoroark has taken on the appearance of [[Captain Pikachu]]. Raifort knows that the group is following a lead, and as Liko is about to answer, Raifort says that she is heading out to do fieldwork right now and offers to let them join her in finding some ancient treasure.

While walking on the trail, Raifort hears about the legend of the ancient adventurer, his [[Six Heroes]], the paradise they were aiming to reach, and Liko receiving Terapagos in the present day. All this gets her more excited and even more curious. Friede asks about Laqua, and Raifort mentions it recorded in a history book. Zoroark signals Raifort, who tells everyone to lay low for the active treasure nearby. The kids hear the sound of metal, thinking it must be a Pokémon. Roy goes over to the bushes and spots a {{p|Gimmighoul}}, scanning it with his Pokédex. Friede says that its rare for anyone to catch its Roaming Form in Paldea, so Roy declares that he'll be the first. Just as he sends out {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} however, it vanishes and leaves behind a Gimmighoul Coin. Raifort tells Roy that Gimmighoul must have dropped it in a panic, letting him keep it. Roy then spots Gimmighoul on Fuecoco's head. It jumps off Fuecoco to reveal itself as Zoroark again, who hands Raifort another Gimmighoul Coin. The group decides to split up to look for more Gimmighoul Coins. They are then pointed by Terapagos to the ruins of a fort. As the rest of the group, excluding Roy, comes over, Terapagos runs down there first, prompting them to follow.

At the ruins, Terapagos crawls into a hole and greets the {{p|Nacli}} and {{p|Charcadet}} inside. Raifort tells the group that Charcadet has supported knights and nobility since ancient times. Terapagos comes out with Charcadet riding on top, which makes Liko smile. Nacli greets Liko, and Dot wonders why its not afraid of people. Friede says that Nacli has been helping humans for hundreds of years. Raifort shares that these two have lived in Paldea for a long, long time, forming connections with people. Roy comes back with his hat full of Gimmighoul Coins, boasting about how he's a natural-born treasure hunter. Raifort points to their objective, the watchtower. She says that back when the region was divided into multiple countries, the emperor built them to keep watch on the neighboring countries. Seeing the tower, Roy sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and tells it that the tower where they met looked like this one. Raifort remarks that artifacts built by those from days long past now play a part in your own story. She says that history is the past leaving its impact on the present.

Roy flies Kilowattrel to the top of the watchtower. Friede sends out {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and carries Liko and Dot up there too. On the watchtower, the kids overlook the land when Raifort points them to a treasure chest. Friede gets a feeling and Fuecoco opens the chest to reveal Gimmighoul in its chest form. A purple aura surrounds the Coin Hunter Pokémon, prompting Roy to skip over and hand it all the Gimmighoul coins he collected. Liko and Dot wonder what's wrong, and Friede says that Roy has fallen under Gimmighoul's spell; controlling humans to make them collect coins, only to steal every last one. With all of Roy's coins handed over, Gimmighoul jumps off the tower and runs off. Raifort says that by hunting for old coins, they were able to meet modern-day Pokémon. She then shares that the history book regarded Laqua described it as such: "Once upon a time, far beyond Paldea, a hundred days and nights away, there was a Pokémon paradise. The shining pink of Laqua." Hearing this, Friede realizes that Laqua is connected to [[Laquium]]. Raifort shares that people always dismissed the paradise as nothing more than a fairy tale, and that long before the Naranja Academy was even founded, this land was once part of the Paldean Empire; and even before that, another kingdom entirely. Raifort tells Liko to imagine what the Paldea now may have looked like back then, because even though you can't see it for yourself, the more you learn about the past, the more you can imagine it. Seeing Terapagos climb onto the ledge of the tower and cry out, Liko envisions [[Lucius]] and Terapagos on the tower, overlooking the land. Raifort tells everyone that discovering the past is an adventure on its own; if you believe in it, you can find it. Friede thanks Raifort, even though she just wanted to show the children of the future how much fun learning about the past can be.

The next day at the Naranja Academy, Clavell greets all the students, informing them that that those who have passed the basics test will be moving on to the implementation tests. [[Dendra]] assigns the students to a designated [[Gym]] to take on its [[Gym Leader]], which [[Coral]] finds boring for being the exact same thing as the basics test. Dendra informs the students that this time around, they will have to use two Pokémon instead of one. Hearing this, Dot becomes worried about {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}'s sensitive nature. Roy and Dot acknowledge that if they can pass the implementation, they will finally be able to use Terastal phenomenon. Liko looks forward to that since learning more about Terastal phenomenon will help her learn more about Terapagos. Checking their apps, Roy gets [[Ryme]] in [[Montenevera]], while Dot gets [[Larry]] in [[Medali]]. Liko gets [[Glaseado Mountain]], which means she will battle [[Grusha]]. Liko remembers Grusha from when [[HZ056|he approached her after her loss]] to [[Rika]] of the [[Elite Four]], making her a bit nervous. Roy asks which route they should take this time, and Liko says that Medali seems to be the closest this time. Sharing the Rising Volt Tacklers handshake, the group sets out for Medali.

===Errors===
*In the English dub, when Roy is assigned to battle [[Ryme]], he mentions having met her before, creating an inconsistency with [[HZ061]] where he is surprised to learn that Ryme is the woman he had met previously, as she did not tell him her name. In the original version, Roy does not indicate any knowledge of Ryme's identity.

==Blurb==

Liko and Cortondo Gym Leader Katy are teaming up for an aptitude match against Rika of the Paldea Elite Four! Liko is nervous, but Rika tries to cheer her up just in time for the match to begin. Then, Floragato and Katy’s Lokix go up against Rika’s Clodsire and Dugtrio, but Liko becomes frustrated because she can’t seem to keep up with the other Trainers. Rika offers another pep talk, and this time Liko decides to put her all into the battle—and so does Floragato! Meanwhile, Dot meets a quiet student named Penny and discovers a new clue about the true power of Terapagos.

==Plot==
At [[Naranja Academy]], the [[Multi Battle]] of [[Liko]] and [[Katy]] versus [[Rika]] of the [[Paldea]] [[Elite Four]] is about to begin. While [[Roy]], [[Ann]], and [[Nemona]] discuss about Liko's chances, [[Dot]] sees {{an|Terapagos}} wandering off and runs after it, unnoticed by the other three. On the battlefield, Rika, noticing Liko acting nervous, delays [[Dendra]]'s declaration to start the match and walks over to Liko. She offers to let her pet her {{p|Clodsire}} to help her feel less tense, but when Liko tries to do so, Rika abruptly tells her to stop, since Clodsire's poisonous skin is unsafe to touch without protective gloves. Liko is unamused by the tease, but is surprised to notice she's feeling less tense now, being ready to start battling.

Once Rika has returned to her spot, Dendra properly starts the battle. Rika starts her offensive right away, telling {{p|Dugtrio}} to use {{m|Dig}} and Clodsire to follow up with {{m|Sludge Wave}}. Nemona explains to Roy and Ann that Sludge Wave is a [[move]] that hits the entire field, so Dugtrio had used Dig to avoid being hit by it. While {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} and {{p|Lokix}} both dodge the Sludge Wave, Floragato ends up taking a hit from Dig as Dugtrio resurfaces. Although it is [[Type#Type effectiveness|not very effective]] on the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}}, Nemona knows that repeated hits from it can still sting. Rika repeats her previous moves, as do Floragato and Lokix, except this time, Floragato manages to wrap her vine around Dugtrio, who proceeds to spin around to send her flying. Floragato performs a hard landing, though Liko doesn't notice her partner's pained expression and only congratulates her performance. Rika orders Dugtrio to use {{m|Rock Slide}} on Floragato, who trips while trying to dodge due to her hurt leg. Fortunately for Liko, Katy has Lokix defend Floragato with {{m|Throat Chop}}, stopping the barrage of rocks before they can hit. Liko thanks Katy for her help, and Katy tells her to pay attention on other things than just Clodsire. Liko complies by glancing all around the field, but Rika criticizes her for having too many thoughts in her head at once, telling her that during a battle, she shouldn't be think about anything else. She asks Liko what she thinks she's battling for, and while she admits that Liko is not wrong by saying that she wants to win, there's also more to it than that. Katy assures Liko that she'll understand everything by the end of the battle, which Rika is already eager to continue. Looking at Floragato, Liko smiles as she can sense how excited and eager her partner is, and promises to focus on winning.

Meanwhile, in the academy's lobby, Dot's chase for Terapagos is momentarily interrupted by her spotting an entire shelf full of issues of the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, but {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} urges her to focus on the task at hand. Following Terapagos's voice, she follows it to the upper layer of the lobby, where it turns out that the [[bag]] containing Terapagos has been found by [[Penny]]. Dot asks her to return the bag and keep Terapagos a secret from others, but Penny instead turns around and tells Dot to keep quiet, surprising Dot with her knowledge of her name.

Back at the battle, Rika repeats her reliable combo of Dig and Sludge Wave. Liko is prepared for it this time, though, and has Floragato slice the Sludge Wave apart with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, jump into the air to dodge Dugtrio's Dig, and then hit the Mole Pokémon with a supereffective Magical Leaf flurry. In the audience, [[Geeta]] notices [[Grusha]] getting interested by Liko's strategy. Rika is happy to see the battle heating up and decides to start fighting harder too. Clodsire and Dugtrio fire a double assault with {{m|Mud Shot}} and Rock Slide, forcing Floragato to do easive maneuvers. When she tries to deflect an incoming Mud Shot, she's left wide open for a Rock Slide that rains down on her. Katy creates an opening for Liko by having Lokix use {{m|Lunge}}, which turns Rika's Pokémon's attention to it and allows Liko to command a {{m|Quick Attack}} on Clodsire. Rika, however, anticipated this and has Clodsire use {{m|Poison Jab}}, extending its spines in preparation. Lokix quickly jumps in and pushes Floragato aside at the last second, taking the hit instead and getting {{status|poison}}ed in the process. This, however, plays into Katy's strategy, as Lokix's {{a|Swarm}} [[Ability]] is triggered, giving its {{type|Bug}} moves a significant boost. To Liko's surprise, Katy suddenly declares that she's going to stop holding back and fight with her full power now. Dodging its opponents' attacks, Lokix hits Clodsire and Dugtrio with a {{m|Struggle Bug}} and Lunge barrage, before aiming a {{m|Bounce}} at Clodsire, which Dugtrio takes the hit from in its place. Liko is left speechless by Katy's performance, but ultimately, the [[damage]] from the poison catches up to Lokix, and Dendra declares it [[Fainting|unable to battle]]. With Bounce having left Dugtrio {{status|paralyzed}}, the match has now effectively turned into a one-on-one battle between Floragato and Clodsire. Liko can still sense Floragato's excitement, wondering if she wants to start bouncing around like Lokix did. In the audience, Roy and Ann are feeling uncertain about Liko's chances, since Clodsire, as a {{t|Poison}} type, has a type advantage over Floragato, but Nemona assures them that Lokix's Struggle Bug has lowered the power of Clodsire's attacks, so the match should still be plenty exciting.

Back at the school lobby, Dot and Penny have sat down to talk. Dot once again questions how Penny knows her name, to which Penny replies that she does maintenance for the [[Tera Training]] course registration system, since she's an engineer working for the [[Pokémon League]]. Dot tries to tell Penny how she work on technical stuff as well, just as Penny stands up and peers down to the ground floor, spotting a disguised [[Chalce]] reading a book. Sitting back down, she tells Dot that she's feeling suspicious about Chalce, who recently appeared in the school's database out of nowhere under the name of '''Chive''' (Japanese: '''アゲパン''' ''Agepan''). Neither she nor Dot feels comfortable with the idea of going to talk to her about it. Just then, Quaxly notices that Terapagos has wandered off again. Dot quickly spots Terapagos on the ground floor and catches up with it, though this causes Chalce to notice her. In an attempt to distract her, Dot asks her what she thinks about Occulture. Chalce thinks that the ideas presented in the magazine about [[Paradox Pokémon|Pokémon from a distant past]] are absurd, and when Dot tries to defend them by saying that even rumors can have a tiny bit of truth in them, Chalce ominously warns her that some truths are better left undiscovered. Chalce puts her book away and leaves, with Dot wondering why she looks so familiar. Dot takes the [[Scarlet Book]] that Chalce had been reading and starts skimming through it, with Terapagos suddenly becoming interested in one image in particular. Dot returns the book to the shelf and exchanges phone numbers with Penny before heading off to reunite with her friends.
[[File:Liko Crying.png|thumb|250px|Liko crying after losing to Rika]]
At the battlefield, Clodsire counters Floragato's Magical Leaf attack with a Mud Shot and tries to fend off her Quick Attack with another bombardment of mud. When Floragato keeps approaching, Clodsire prepares a Poison Jab, but Floragato wraps her vine around one of the toxic spines, before lunging in and hitting Clodsire hard with a new move, which Katy identifies as {{m|Acrobatics}}, making Liko excited. Dot reunites her friends in the audience just as Floragato, becoming increasingly exhausted and slowed from the damage she's sustained, takes a hit from a Mud Shot. Despite realizing that someone of Rika's strength level is going all out against her, Liko still can't help but smile. Smirking, Rika reiterates her earlier question on why Liko thinks she does battles. Liko confidently answers that it's so she can immerse herself with battles and become one with her Pokémon. Recognizing that Floragato has always taken battles seriously, Liko declares that from now on, she will take them seriously and enjoy them as well. Rika is very pleased with the answer and the expression on Liko's face, so both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s decide to take the battle to the next level by {{Tera}}stallizing their respective Pokémon. Floragato attacks with a boosted Magical Leaf flurry, which Clodsire counters with a powered-up {{m|Earth Power}} attack, overpowering the {{type|Grass}} move and defeating Floragato, thus making Rika the winner. After [[recall]]ing and thanking her partner, Liko suddenly finds herself shedding tears. Katy gives her a comforting hug, recognizing that she's feeling passionate because she took the battle seriously, thus making the loss hurt more. After calming down, Liko approaches her friends and accepts their compliments on how well she performed. Roy and Dot note how Liko is acting more enthusiastically and seriously about battles than she ever has before, which she herself also recognizes and also thanks Rika for.

Later, at the school lobby, Liko is approached by Grusha, whom she doesn't recognize. While Grusha almost immediately leaves with Geeta, he has enough time to comment that if what Liko just experienced was enough to raise her spirits, she must be pretty frigid. Liko is left very confused by this encounter, but is quickly cheered up by Roy coming up to her and expressing his desire to battle someone strong and become a better Trainer, a sentiment that Liko now also shares. Dot approaches the two and shows them the Scarlet Book, which she had just borrowed from the school library. She opens the book to show them the picture that Terapagos was interested in. Liko notes the drawing's resemblance to Terapagos and feels that a new adventure is about to start for them.

==Blurb==

School is back in session at Naranja Academy for Liko, Roy, and Dot. And Director Clavell has a surprise in store: aptitude battles that set a student and a Gym Leader duo against a special rival…a member of the Elite Four! Dot and Iono are up first against Poppy and must make their Pokémon work in sync to smash down Poppy’s steely defense. Next, Roy and Brassius face off against Hassel, whose Dragon-type Pokémon are not only tough but also might give Roy a better understanding of the elusive black Rayquaza. Finally, the stage is set for Liko and Katy to take on Rika—have our heroes mastered the skills needed to triumph?

==Plot==
Having completed their [[Tera Training]] tests, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and other {{tc|student}}s have returned to [[Naranja Academy]]. Before their next assignment, however, Director [[Clavell]] announces that he has arranged a series of friendly {{pkmn|battle}}s against special guests for them to participate in. [[Geeta]] enters the hall and reveals that the special guests in question are members of the [[Paldea]] [[Elite Four]], making the students excited. As the students move to the schoolyard, Dot is feeling that losing is a certainty against such powerful opponents, but [[Nemona]] reveals to the trio of friends that these friendly matches will be [[Multi Battle]]s, where each of them will pair up with the [[Gym Leader]] they fought for their test. Case and point, {{an|Iono}} appears on one of the battlefields and waves at Dot, making a flustered Dot realize that she'll be the first one to battle. With [[Dendra]] working as the [[Battle judge|referee]], Iono and Dot take their place at the field and are soon joined by their opponent, [[Poppy]], who calls out her {{p|Tinkaton}} and {{p|Copperajah}} (nicknamed Tinkie and Rajah) to face [[Dot's Quaxly]] and Iono's {{p|Bellibolt}}. Dendra clarifies that the battle ends when either the student's Pokémon or one of the Elite Four member's Pokémon is defeated, and Clavell adds that the Gym Leader will be disallowed to {{Tera}}stallize their Pokémon so that the student can have more spotlight, much to Iono's dismay.

Dendra starts the battle, with Iono making the first move with {{m|Discharge}}, though it ends up shocking Quaxly as well and doing next to nothing against Poppy's Pokémon. Poppy tells Rajah to use {{m|Sandstorm}}, which surrounds the battlefield and buffets Dot and Iono's Pokémon while doing nothing to Poppy's {{t|Steel}} types. Tinkie leaps forward with {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}, but Bellibolt uses {{m|Reflect}} to soften the blow. Geeta feels that the battle is becoming a showdown between a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member, with the student being too overwhelmed to do anything, but Clavell and Dot's friends feel sure things can still change. With the protective barrier still active, Iono tells Dot to take the offensive, so she has Quaxly use {{m|Water Gun}}, followed by {{m|Liquidation}}. Poppy's Pokémon shrug off the hits with ease, however, and Tinkie then proceeds to smash the Reflect barrier apart with {{m|Brick Break}}, much to Iono's shock. Poppy aims for a finishing blow and launches a combination attack in the form of Rajah's {{m|Rock Slide}} and Tinkie's {{m|Rock Smash}}, sending a barrage of rocks raining onto her opponents. Bellibolt protects Quaxly with its body, but is starting to feel tired. With the {{weather|sandstorm}} subsiding, Iono tells Bellibolt to use {{m|Slack Off}} to heal itself. Seeing Quaxly expressing his determination with dance moves, Dot gets an idea and has him do the same on Bellibolt's belly, triggering its {{a|Electromorphosis}} [[Ability]]. When Tinkie leaps in with Gigaton Hammer, Bellibolt uses its belly to launch Quaxly high into the air to avoid the attack. Iono tells Dot to use the chance to her advantage, and she does so, Terastallizing Quaxly and having him use a powered-up Liquidation. The attack clashes with Tinkie's hammer, until both sides are pushed back. Iono then points out how her Bellibolt used the distraction to get onto Rajah's back, allowing it to land a close-range {{m|Zap Cannon}}. Rajah collapses, thus resulting in Dot and Iono being declared winners. Poppy congratulates the two, but quickly notices that Dot isn't feeling happy despite being on the winning side. Dot admits that she feels that they only won because Iono did all the heavy lifting, but Poppy says she's thinking too hard and hopes to battle her again someday, before taking her leave with Iono, leaving Dot feeling a little better about herself.

On the other battlefield, Coral commands her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The ensuing explosion consumes every Pokémon on the field and defeats not only [[Larry]]'s {{p|Flamigo}} and {{p|Oricorio}}, but also her partner [[Kofu]]'s {{p|Wugtrio}}. However, much to Coral's frustration, Dendra declares Larry the winner, explaining that the use of Self-Destruct counts as a loss in the event that all the participating Pokémon are defeated. Kofu takes the loss with a hearty laugh, but Coral throws a tantrum and runs off, much to Sidian and [[Chalce]]'s exasperation.

Roy's turn is next, and his partner, [[Brassius]], leaps down from a set of loudspeakers to join him on the battlefield. Their opponent is [[Hassel]], whom Brassius reveals to be a {{type|Dragon}} [[Type expert|expert]], which Roy sees as a valuable source of experience for his future confrontation with [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. Hassel sends out {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}, while Brassius calls out {{p|Dolliv}} to join [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. The battle begins with Roy ordering a {{m|Flame Charge}}. Avoiding an {{m|Ice Shard}} from Baxcalibur while Dolliv blocks Flapple's {{m|Acid Spray}} with {{m|Seed Bomb}}, Fuecoco's attack is able to make contact with Baxcalibur. To Roy's surprise, however, the attack seems to strengthen Baxcalibur, and he tells Fuecoco to back off, barely avoiding a hit from Baxcalibur's {{m|Glaive Rush}}. Brassius explains that Baxcalibur has the {{a|Thermal Exchange}} Ability, which boosts its {{stat|attack}} power if it's hit by a {{type|Fire}} [[move]], leaving Roy exasperated that Brassius didn't warn him sooner. Deciding to switch things up, Roy has Fuecoco use {{m|Disarming Voice}}, which deals [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] damage on the two Dragon types. Hassel tells Flapple to use {{m|Grav Apple}}, which reminds Fuecoco of an actual apple so much that he ignores Roy's orders to dodge until it's too late and the move hits him straight on the head. Brassius encourages Roy to fight with passion, so he orders Fuecoco to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Dolliv powers up with {{m|Helping Hand}}. Hassel responds to this collaboration of moves by having Flapple use {{m|Twister}}, creating a fiery tornado that Baxcalibur dives inside of. Thanks to Thermal Exchange, the tornado suddenly freezes over and shatters, leaving Baxcalibur even more powered up as it uses Glaive Rush again. Fuecoco tries to flee from it, but is unexpectedly saved by Dolliv's {{m|Grass Knot}} making him fall down and out of the attack's path. The next combination of attacks comes in the form of Dolliv's Seed Bomb and Fuecoco's Flamethrower, which is blocked by Baxcalibur and Flapple's respective uses of {{m|Protect}}. While Dolliv prepares a giant {{m|Energy Ball}}, Roy Terastallizes Fuecoco and combines his boosted Flamethrower with the Energy Ball, creating a spectacular display that Hassel can't help but be impressed by. Hassel orders Baxcalibur to use {{m|Blizzard}}, enveloping the combo move in ice, before ordering another Glaive Rush, launching a surprise attack through the ice that defeats both Fuecoco and Dolliv, making Hassel the winner. Despite losing, Roy still felt that he had fun, though he's subsequently left awkwardly staring at Hassel as he starts to cry profusely at how much both Roy and Brassius have grown. Talking with Nemona, Roy admits that he's still no match for Rayquaza and swears to keep growing stronger.

While Liko prepares for her battle, [[Sidian]] and [[Tulip]]'s team is defeated when {{p|Garganacl}} loses to [[Rika]]'s {{p|Clodsire}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}. Rika berates Sidian's attitude of accepting loss just to ensure his own backup's survival, but Sidian says he prefers it to a disgraceful victory, which Tulip finds understandable. The two of them make way for Liko and [[Katy]], who look forward to battling together as much as Rika looks forward to keeping her winning streak going, the Elite Four member smiling confidently.

'''Cervantis''' (Japanese: '''クレイブ''' ''Crave'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. He is the former director of [[Exceed]], the son-in-law of [[Gibeon]], and [[Amethio]]'s father.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Amethio Family Photo.png|150px|left|thumb|Cervantis with his family]]
Cervantis was the son-in-law of the [[Explorers]] boss, [[Gibeon]]. As a younger man he married Gibeon's daughter, {{OBP|Maria|Horizons}}, and had a son, [[Amethio]]. Cervantis was later placed as the figurehead director of [[Exceed]], a scientific research company founded by Gibeon.

During his time as an employee at Exceed, [[Friede]] became friendly with Cervantis. Cervantis's son, Amethio, would go on to become a follower of Gibeon.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Friede arrived in the office of his former boss and apologized for having left the company in the past for his own selfish reasons, but Cervantis was quick to forgive him. Later, after Amethio finished meeting with his grandfather, Amethio mentioned that he was nothing like his father and that he would obtain more Laquium. This could suggest that Cervantis was once asked by Gibeon to acquire Laquium for the Explorers, and that Cervantis either failed or refused to do so.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Amethio met with Cervantis before leaving. Shortly after, [[Spinel]] met with Cervantis, aware that he was Amethio's father.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Amethio discovered that Spinel had completely infiltrated Exceed and was running the company without Cervantis's consent, having co-opted the company's security team and acting without Cervantis suspecting anything.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', a year after Gibeon's death, it was revealed that Cervantis was no longer the director of Exceed and that Spinel had taken over all operations that were run by Gibeon.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', [[Hamber]] revealed that Cervantis resigned from his position after Gibeon's death and that they both did not believe Spinel's reports that Amethio was to blame for it.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish!]]'', while working at an Exceed factory, Cervantis received a call from [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who asked for a clue that would help them determine Amethio's whereabouts. Before he could answer, Spinel entered the room to do an inspection. Cervantis asked Spinel what the [[Strong Sphere]]s really were, but was denied a clear answer before Spinel left. Afterward, he sent Zirc and Onia a message containing the information they requested.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', it was revealed that Cervantis responded to a message from [[Liko]], in which he asked if he could meet with the Rising Volt Tacklers in person. The email later turned out to be a trap orchestrated by the Explorers. In the [[HZ110|next episode]], it was revealed that Cervantis was held captive by the Explorers for going against Spinel and his power project, later, he was released by [[Dot]] and [[Hamber]] and revealed to them the existence of the Super Strong Sphere, a more powerful and improved version of the previous Strong Sphere. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Cervantis with his group arrivied too late, as Amethio, Liko, [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] have been defeated by five of the [[Six Heroes]]. Through Amethio's convincing, Cervantis decided to stop Spinel as he joins his son in helping gather more Zygarde Cells with Hamber accompanying them, before bidding Liko and her group farewell.

In [[HZ119]], Cervantis was contacted by a video call from Dot in secret and informed about the Exceed Museum which is actually a data center with the Laquium Data stored inside but it's protected from external connections. In [[HZ120]], it was revealed that he acted to get Dot and [[Penny]] inside the Museum facilities, however it was revealed that his access to Exceed was revoked and this caused them to attract the attention of the Explorers.

==Character==
Cervantis appears to be an ethical and fair person, having a long history of friendship with [[Friede]]. In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', it was revealed that Cervantis appears to have a complicated relationship with [[Amethio]], who considers [[Hamber]] to be his real father. Though he is shown as being harsh to Amethio when he begged him for information regarding [[Gibeon]], Cervantis did not believe that his son was responsible for the failures in [[Laqua]] and has carefully given information to those who are searching for him behind [[Spinel]]'s back.

It is unknown what kind of relationship Cervantis had with his wife, {{OBP|Maria|Horizons}}, but as shown in ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', he continues to wear his wedding ring even years after her death, suggesting that they had been a close couple.

==Blurb==

After searching through Lucius's notes, Diana's journal, and other records from Paldea, Friede is still coming up short on information about Terapagos. He and Captain Pikachu head to Exceed, the company where Friede used to work, to ask the director about research involving a substance called "the Treasure of Eternity." Although Friede doesn't learn much from the director, he receives his old access badge and goes to seek out the data on his own; however, it turns out someone else is one step ahead of him... Meanwhile, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunite with Ann, and the Trainers enjoy a fun day with their Pokémon.

==Plot==
[[Friede]]'s study of [[Lucius]]'s memoirs and [[Diana]]'s diary is interrupted by [[Orla]] entering his hotel room to bring him and [[Captain Pikachu]] some food and inform them that the repair work for the [[Brave Olivine]] is halfway done. She has also thought of giving the airship a boost of some kind, though she's not sure yet if it'll work. In the meantime, Friede decides to head out somewhere to hopefully learn more about {{an|Terapagos}}, though he decides to make a phone call first.
[[File:Ann Liko party HZ054.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Ann reuniting]]
Meanwhile, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] continue their journey back towards [[Naranja Academy]]. While Dot complains that she's thoroughly exhausted, [[Ann]] suddenly catches up with them, also on her way back to the academy after passing her test. She's surprised to notice that [[Liko's Hattrem|Hatenna]] and [[Roy's Kilowattrel|Wattrel]] have evolved, and also spots Terapagos peeking out of Liko's [[bag]]. Before Liko can explain about Terapagos, Dot collapses and complains that she can go no further, so Roy suggests a and snack break. They do so, with Liko taking the time to reveal to Ann how Terapagos used to be the pendant she had [[HZ001|previously shown to her]]. Ann is also excited by the concept of traveling around in an airship, though Liko admits that they've still got ways to go, as there is [[Laqua|a faraway place]] where Terapagos wishes to go to, which is why they're taking the [[Tera Training]] course. Ann notes how Liko has grown much more confident and asks Roy and Dot to be her friends too. They accept, though the socially awkward Dot does so reluctantly. While Ann declares that she'll give it her all at the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, Liko receives a phone call from Friede, who asks how she and Roy are doing and if they too saw a pink haze when encountering Lucius's {{p|Lapras}} and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}}. Liko and Roy confirm this to be true, with Liko mentioning how she also saw the same thing with {{p|Arboliva}}. Having confirmed what he wanted to know, Friede wishes Liko and Roy good luck on their Tera Training and ends the call.

Friede has arrived in front of the office building of a company called [[Exceed]]. Entering the office of the company director, [[Cervantis]], he apologizes for having left the company in the past for his own selfish reasons, but Cervantis is quick to forgive him, having recognized that working in a stuffy lab was never Friede's strong suit. Friede reveals to his former boss that he currently travels around the world on an airship to research the mysteries of Pokémon with his friends and Captain Pikachu, while Cervantis has continued his job at Exceed to work for the betterment of Pokémon and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s alike. While Cervantis's {{p|Cinccino}} cleans up Cap's dirty hat, Friede requests to know more about the Treasure of Eternity, which he had heard of during his short stay in the company's ranks, and believes to be connected to a certain Pokémon he's currently researching. Cervantis admits that not even he knows what the Treasure of Eternity is, as it was passed down to him by a higher-up and is managed solely by an external research team, but he's still able to provide Friede with his old security pass. With Cap's hat squeaky clean, Friede thanks the director for his help and takes up his advice on visiting the company's laboratory. At the lab area, an encounter with a {{p|Joltik}} leads to Friede reuniting with his old research colleague [[Yanga]]. Yanga agrees to help Friede look into their research data archives for information about the Treasure of Eternity, but even though he is able to show him a photo of the mysterious mineral in question, he unexpectedly finds his access into the database blocked, preventing him from providing further information about it. Sensing that something fishy is going on, Friede decides to check the underground vault where it's currently kept himself.

At the basement, Friede quickly finds the entrance to the underworld vault, but is unexpectedly confronted by a {{p|Watchog}}, a {{p|Bisharp}}, and an {{p|Orbeetle}} working as guards. His attempt to talk them down fails, so has no choice but to fight them off with Captain Pikachu. Cap distracts the Pokémon guards with {{m|Double Team}}, before hitting each of them with a {{m|Thunder Punch}}. While the guards are temporarily taken down, Friede can't help but feel confused about why a concluded research project would require such a heavy guard duty. Running ahead, Friede and Cap spot the door leading to their destination, but also notice a security camera. Before Friede can stop Cap, he breaks the camera with his tail, triggering an alarm. Despite knowing that he'll be in trouble over this, Friede continues on into the room ahead. He and Cap find an empty display case labelled for the Treasure of Eternity, also referred to as "[[Laquium]]". Friede feels frustrated for striking out after coming so far, but has no choice but to leave. As soon as he steps out of the door, however, he finds his path blocked by the three guard Pokémon and a trio of security officers. They are not convinced by him showing his ID card, so he has no choice but to have Cap plow through the guards with {{m|Volt Tackle}} and quickly ride through the opening with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, before making a run for the elevator. With the security officers focusing on Friede, none of them notices their worker [[Spinel]] hiding behind a corner, smiling with his hand in his pocket. Outside the building, Friede and Cap are finally able to catch their breath and wonder who could've taken the Treasure of Eternity, not noticing Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}} spying on them from above.

Elsewhere, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann have finished their break and are continuing along their way. Ann admits to Liko that leaving [[Kanto]] for [[Paldea]] for the first time had left her nervous. Liko admits that she felt the same way when she had come to [[Indigo Academy]], but she had been able to take a step forward after meeting [[Liko's Floragato|Sprigatito]]. Ann feels the same way, having had the courage to move on after arriving in Paldea thanks to having {{p|Dewott}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} by her side, feeling they could take her anywhere. This statement catches Liko by surprise, and she starts wondering if Terapagos is actually trying to take her to Laqua, instead of vice versa. Happily holding Terapagos in her arms, Liko and her friends run ahead as they finally see Naranja Academy in the distance, declaring that they've finally made it back.

At the [[Explorers]] base, [[Amethio]] has been summoned to have a rare in-person meeting with [[Gibeon]], who wishes to hear his resolve. As their goal is to obtain more Laquium, he is thus waiting for the true awakening of Terapagos, meaning that Amethio's duty, as the heir of his blood, is to seize it as soon as it happens. Amethio swears to fulfill his duty as Gibeon's grandson and is escorted away from his presence by [[Hamber]]. Amethio assures to the butler that he's nothing like his father and will take up his grandfather's will, resolving to gain more strength to achieve his goal. He receives a call from [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who report that they've seen Spinel on the move after leaving the Exceed office building. Amethio instructs his minions to not chase him too far and thanks them for a job well done before ending the call. Having anticipated that Spinel was plotting for something, he resolves to not strike out like he had done with the [[Black Rayquaza]].

==Blurb==

Following up on a tip from a mysterious Trainer, Liko, Roy, and Dot head into the woods to search for a Pokémon called “the Otherworldly.” They soon encounter three other students who are fleeing from a violent, unidentified Pokémon, but the other students are too scared to provide much help. Pressing on, Liko and friends find a troop of angry Mankey and Primeape, as well as an Annihilape who must be the Otherworldly! With Hatenna’s help, the Trainers figure out that a broken vine is the source of the wild Pokémon’s rage, so they work together to fix it, but the resulting peace and quiet doesn’t last long…

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are traveling through a forest to find the Pokémon known as "the otherworldly" which Roy [[HZ052|had heard of]]. They soon hear noises coming from deeper in the woods, until three people who [[Doppelgänger|look very similar to them]] suddenly appear before them. While Liko's {{p|Hatenna}} uses {{m|Heal Pulse}} to heal them and their Pokémon, the three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, [[Niko]], [[Rob]], and [[Dash]], reveal that, just like Liko and her friends, they are students from [[Naranja Academy]] who are taking on the [[Tera Training]] course. However, they had gotten lost on their way to their designated [[Gym]]s and wandered through a foggy forest, until they arrived before a spooky-looking tree that seemed to have a ghostly face. Since they couldn't go any further, they decided to turn back, only for the strap on Niko's [[bag]] to break. She had used a vine from a nearby tree to repair it, but at that moment, a scary Pokémon had attacked them, and they had fled, unable to repel it by {{pkmn|battle|battling}} it. Based on their description of the Pokémon, Roy and Dot deduce that it could be "the otherworldly" they are looking for. When Liko and her friends mention that they want to find it to write a report about it, Niko and her friends get scared at the mere idea and flee in terror while thanking them from their aid.

Liko and her friends continue on deeper into the forest. As fog starts rolling in, a group of {{p|Mankey}} suddenly flees past them on the treetops. Only moments after they have passed by, another Pokémon appears before them. Using her [[Rotom Phone]], Liko identifies it as an {{p|Annihilape}}, a Pokémon that has gained power not constrained by the limits of flesh through rage, making the children realize that this Pokémon is "the otherworldly" they were looking for. Annihilape starts attacking them, forcing the children to defend themselves with their Pokémon, with {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} holding it back while {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} knocks it down with {{m|Flame Charge}}, giving the three a chance to run away. They eventually arrive at the side of a river and stop to catch their breath. Hearing noise nearby, they find a group of Mankey next to the tree with a ghostly face that they had heard of. One of the Mankey is holding a snapped vine, which Liko realizes must be the same one that Niko had used to repair her bag. Dot figures that this tree must be important to the Mankey in some way, and since the three of them and their Pokémon resemble the group they met earlier, the Mankey are mistaking them for the culprits. The Mankey start throwing rocks at the three of them, ignoring their pleas of innocence. Several {{p|Primeape}} charge at them, but Floragato, Fuecoco, and Quaxly are able to fight them off. One Mankey throws a rock that almost hits {{an|Terapagos}}, but Hatenna uses her {{t|Psychic}} powers to defend it. Annihilape appears again, and the Mankey and Primeape move aside to make way for it. Dot theorizes that Annihilape could be the guardian deity of these Mankey. Annihilape attacks with a flurry of {{m|Shadow Ball}}s, and the group's Pokémon fight back, but their attacks don't seem to work. Deciding on a combination attack, they simultaneously attack with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Water Gun}}, but all they succeed in is making Annihilape even angrier.
[[File:Roy party HZ053.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and his Pokémon working as a team]]
In the midst of the battle, Hatenna spots some of the Mankey looking at a tree on the opposite shore and realizes something. When several of Annihilape's Shadow Balls end up striking the pack of Mankey, they grow angry as well and start attacking Annihilape, much to the group's surprise. While Dot figures that her theory on Annihilape being a guardian deity is incorrect, after all, Hatenna comes up to them and points out what's on the other side of the river: a large supply of {{Berries}} at the base of another tree. Figuring the Berries belong to the Mankey, the group realizes that the Mankey had grown angry because they had previously used the vine hanging between the two trees to cross the river and reach their food storage, but are now unable to do so. To fix the situation, the group constructs a new bridge out of straw and logs, which Hatenna helps attach to the tree on one side of the river, while Roy flies to the other side with {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and attaches the other end of the bridge of the Berry storage tree. The Mankey, Primeape, and Annihilape excitedly cross the river using the new bridge and reach their food storage once more. Liko and Dot follow them and are feeling happy for them. Liko thanks Hatenna for figuring out what was wrong, and is surprised to notice a brief glow around her Pokémon.

The Mankey pack's excitement rises so high that their stomping starts shaking the ground. As a result, a loose boulder soon falls down from the cliff above and almost hits the pack. While no one is hurt, all Berries have been smashed. This causes the short-tempered Pokémon to fly into a fit of rage and start fighting each other. During the fight, two Primeape from the pack suddenly [[Evolution|evolve]] into Annihilape, surprising the group with the revelation that Annihilape is Primeape's evolved form. The fight grows more violent with two new Annihilape now being present, quickly resulting in all the Mankey being defeated and leaving the three {{pkmn|category|Rage Monkey Pokémon}} to fight amongst themselves. The group falls back, but they soon notice that Hatenna is approaching the Annihilape, trying to stop the fight. In that midst of the raging fight full of enraged emotions, the overwhelmed Hatenna suddenly evolves into {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}. From Dot's Rotom Phone, the group learns that Hattrem will silence anyone with strong emotions, which she then proceeds to do to three Annihilape, defeating them with her newly learned {{m|Brutal Swing}}. The group is impressed at Hattrem's strength, though Dot is also left flabbergasted when she then also heals them right afterwards.

At sunset, the group eats some newly collected Berries alongside the pack, with Dot recording some video of the Annihilape for her report in the process. This experience has left the group excited to meet even more Pokémon, feeling good about their reports. Later, Hattrem is dismayed to find out that she's now too big to ride in Liko's hood anymore, but she gets over it quickly, and the group continues on their way back to Naranja Academy.

{{spoilers}}
==Blurb==

While observing a wild Capsakid for his academy report, Roy notices Wattrel having trouble flying in strong wind. The next day, he finds Wattrel training by itself, so he and Fuecoco cheer it on—but they’re interrupted by a haunting noise coming from elsewhere in the forest. Shortly after, a mysterious woman accompanied by a Houndstone appears, and she tells Roy she’s searching for a Pokémon known as “the Otherworldly.” The next day, Wattrel takes off on its own again, so Roy goes to find it…and discovers the Capsakid in a precarious situation! Will Roy and Wattrel be able to get the wild Pokémon to safety?

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are observing various [[wild Pokémon]] for the reports they need to make. Liko tries to film a flock of {{form|Squawkabilly|White Plumage}} {{p|Squawkabilly}}, but accidentally messes it up as they fly away. Dot spots a group a group of {{p|Applin}}, but is prevented from filming them when {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} starts chasing them around. Roy, meanwhile, has chosen to observe a {{p|Capsakid}}, with {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} bringing him a [[Grepa Berry]] to feed it. {{p|Wattrel}} tries to help Roy too, but is constantly outdone by Fuecoco bringing in more berries and even directly fetching them straight from the tree with {{m|Flame Charge}} and grilling them in the process, while Wattrel keeps struggling to even fly high enough due to strong gusts of wind. When the group gathers at their campsite to eat and show off their progress, Roy shows his friends a video of Wattrel struggling with strong winds, which it still has problems with, despite [[HZ014|Roy having helped it to overcome its fear of flying]]. Roy wonders how he could help Wattrel get more confident.

In the dead of night, Roy wakes up to notice that Wattrel is missing. He and Fuecoco find the {{pkmn|category|Storm Petrel Pokémon}} in the woods, struggling to fly up a tree. Roy and Fuecoco try to cheer up Wattrel with a song, though it remains dejected. Suddenly, a haunting sound fills the air, sending shivers down Roy and his Pokémon's spines. A {{p|Houndstone}} appears nearby and runs towards them, but instead of attacking them, it just affectionately jumps onto Roy and cuddles up to him until its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a [[Ryme|woman]] with a microphone whose hair is styled in the shape of a skeleton, calls it off. She reveals that she had heard Roy's earlier singing to encourage Wattrel and performs a rap telling it to not run away from its fears. Roy is in awe at the rap, but his attention quickly turns elsewhere when he notices Capsakid emerging from a nearby bush. Knowing that it's a Pokémon that likes sunlight, he wonders why it is on the move in the middle of the night. The woman figures that it must be fleeing from "{{p|Annihilape|the otherworldly}}", a scary Pokémon not from this world that she's trying to find. Roy gets excited at the prospect of meeting it too, but quickly turns around to film the potentially rare Capsakid behavior for his report. Kneeling closer to Fuecoco, the woman says she sees potential in him and encourages the Fire Croc Pokémon to keep at it. When Roy turns back around, she and Houndstone have both vanished. In the morning, Roy tells his friends of "the otherworldly", but neither Liko nor Dot has any idea what it could mean. When Roy tries to show them the video he took to prove that his nightly encounter was real, his [[Rotom Phone]] only displays a black screen.

The group once again splits up to continue writing their reports. Liko tries to film the White Squawkabilly flock again, but {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} and {{an|Terapagos}} make too much noise and cause them to fly away again. Dot films {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} making a rainbow with {{m|Water Gun}}, but quickly realizes she needs to find wild Pokémon to observe. As Wattrel still struggles to overcome its inability to fly in strong winds, Fuecoco keeps effortlessly collecting berries, even offering one for Wattrel. An irritated Wattrel winds up in a short fight with Fuecoco, which Roy is quick to break up, though Wattrel flees while he's busy calming down Fuecoco. While looking for Wattrel, Roy spots the Capsakid from earlier stuck on a cliff. He carefully walks down a narrow cliffside path, leaving Fuecoco behind to avoid him falling into the water below. At one point, the cliff beneath Roy starts to crumble, causing Fuecoco to cry out in alarm, but Roy barely manages to get to stable footing in time and successfully reaches Capsakid. Distrustful of Roy, Capsakid bites him on the finger and uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} to fire its extremely spicy seeds into his mouth. To Capsakid's surprise, however, Roy finds the spicy seeds very tasty, happily even accepting a second mouthful of them. Eventually, Roy manages to earn Capsakid's trust, but is unable to make it back past the collapsed cliff face or climb up the cliff while holding Capsakid. Wattrel, having been attracted to the site by Fuecoco's alarmed cry from earlier, sees its chance to conquer its fear and swoops down to help. As Wattrel keeps struggling against the wind, {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} and Floragato sense that something is going on and lead Liko and Dot to the site.
[[File:Roy Fuecoco and Kilowattrel.png|thumb|left|250px|Kilowattrel giving Fuecoco a ride]]
Eventually, Wattrel manages grab a hold of Capsakid, and, after some further struggles, manages to pass it to Wattrel, who successfully carries it up the cliff to safety. After celebrating Wattrel's success, Roy starts climbing up the cliff, much to Liko and Dot's alarm. Although Roy assures that he's a good tree climber, a combination of a rock he tries to grab breaking off and an especially strong gust of wind blowing by cause him to lose his grip and start falling. Without hesitation, Wattrel dives down to save him and unexpectedly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, becoming big enough finally overcome the winds and grab Roy, flying him around for a while as Liko and Dot observe the newly evolved Frigatebird Pokémon in awe. Roy is also feeling excited that his Pokémon evolved, but is left dismayed when he finds out that neither of his friends actually recorded the Evolution. Nevertheless, after saying goodbye to Capsakid, the group continues on their {{pkmn|journey}}, with Fuecoco taking a flight on Kilowattrel along the way. Meanwhile, in the depths of a dark, mist-filled forest, a ghostly Pokémon lurks in wait.

==Blurb==

Having all passed their Tera Training basic aptitude tests, Liko, Roy, and Dot go camping so they can compile reports about wild Pokémon. They also learn of a local legend about a tower of flower petals. But Floragato soon falls into a prickly mood as Liko ends up giving lots of attention to Hatenna and especially to Terapagos, who wanders off when Liko isn’t looking. As Liko rushes to find it, she falls into a ravine that becomes filled with wild Toedscool. Floragato, Hatenna, and Terapagos aren’t far behind, though, and Floragato jumps into action to help Liko. But the Toedscool don’t want to battle—what could they be up to?

==Plot==
Following [[Dot]] completing her [[Tera Training]] in [[Levincia]], she, [[Liko]], and [[Roy]] head to a river to do a report on [[wild Pokémon]]. To help them, Dot pulls out [[Friede]]’s Pokémon distribution map. Liko wants to tell the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] about the report, and Roy would like to get some battles in too. The kids decide to set up camp where they are. While it takes time for Liko to get her tent ready, Roy is already done with his since he's used this kind of thing. As the rope dangles in Liko's hand, {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} gets mesmerized by it and grabs it, knocking Liko and her tent over. Dot places her tent by a large flat rock so she can have a good work station. Floragato turns Liko's attention to a {{p|Pineco}} sleeping in a tree before Roy trips on a tree root, running into the tree and causing Pineco to fall down and {{m|Self-Destruct|explode}}. Later, Liko and Roy wash their Pokémon in the river. Roy spots a school of {{p|Arrokuda}} swimming down the river before a large {{p|Kilowattrel}} flies over head, thrilling {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}. Roy decides to go after Kilowattrel and write his report on it. Dot goes back to the camp site while Liko stays by the river.

Liko lets {{an|Terapagos}} walk around before preparing to wash Floragato. However, Liko's attention gets turned to {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} getting dirty again, so she washes Hatenna a second time. As an annoyed Floragato plays around with her yo-yo vine, she hits a rock into the water. She tries to show Liko, who becomes fixated on Terapagos walking away, catching it before it wanders off too far. Liko finally gives Floragato some attention, but the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}}, annoyed at the sight of Terapagos and Hatenna in her {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s arms, just turns away. Liko tries to place her hand on Floragato, but gets pricked by her fur becoming spiky all of a sudden. Floragato runs off, leaving Liko wondering what's wrong.

Back at the camp site, Dot struggles to find just the right Pokémon to use in her report when she sees an article on a twister made of petals. Dot sees Floragato in a bad mood and gets the feeling that something happened between her and Liko. After finding out that Liko has not decided on a Pokémon to write her report on, Dot shares some info on the "pillar of petals". The article says that a huge number of flower petals are swept into the air, creating a pillar that connect the land to the sky. Though it remains unknown what causes this phenomenon, let alone when the next one will occur or the type of flower the petals come from. As Terapagos wanders in another direction, Dot tells Liko that anyone who sees this phenomenon will be sure to find happiness. Hearing this, Liko looks at Floragato. Dot gets the feeling that a local Pokémon may be behind the pillar of petals. Liko resolves to look for it with Floragato to lift the Grass Cat Pokémon's mood. Liko goes to tell Floragato about the pillar of petals before panicking when she realizes that Terapagos wandered off. She sees some rustling in the nearby bushes and runs to check it out, Floragato reluctantly following behind. Dot thinks she should head out too, but not before stopping {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} from messing with their frying pan.

Liko can't find Terapagos, so she asks Floragato to help her look. However, Floragato ignores her, causing Liko to become disappointed. Floragato notices Liko's disappointment, but she once again finds herself more focused on Hatenna, prompting Floragato to continue ignoring Liko. Meanwhile, Terapagos arrives at a pond, getting amazed by the resident {{p|Magikarp}}. The Tera Pokémon then gets launched over the trees by a charging {{p|Lechonk}}, still smiling all the while. Liko and Floragato arrive at the same lake, spotting some footprints. Liko hands Hatenna to Floragato as she checks out the footprints. Hatenna picks up on Floragato's annoyance, but they realize that their attention was preoccupied when they see that Liko is gone. Hearing an explosion, they think that Liko may be in trouble, so they go to check it out. Liko hears the explosion too, thinking it was another Pineco. She heads over there too, but ends up falling into a ravine with vines laid around the top. She realizes that she got separated from Floragato and Hatenna.
[[File:Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos.png|thumb|left|250px|Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos]]
Floragato and Hatenna find Terapagos crying on its back next to a Pineco. Hatenna struggles to flip Terapagos over and they both desperately ask Floragato for help. A reluctant Floragato flips Terapagos over before a strong wind catches the Tera Pokémon's attention. Terapagos walks in the direction of the wind, right towards more hanging Pineco. Floragato freaks out and grabs Terapagos, running with Hatenna as fast as possible in the other direction.

Liko wonders how to get out of the ravine knowing she can't climb out, not to mention the heat. Suddenly, she spots a large number of {{p|Toedscool}} running down into the ravine, quickly hiding behind a large rock and scanning them with her [[Pokédex]]. She sees that the Toedscool are trying to get rid of the vines. Just as all the Toedscool notice Liko, Floragato arrives to protect her Trainer. Liko however, runs to stop Floragato, getting pricked by her spiky fur again when she embraces her. She tries to tell Floragato that the Toedscool didn't attack her before embracing the Grass Cat Pokémon again, not minding her prickly fur poking her. Floragato's tension fades, with her prickly fur becoming soft again in the process. Terapagos goes over to the Toedscool, wanting to help them. The Toedscool respond by pointing up to the vines covering the ravine. Liko sees that they are trying to get rid of the vines. After the Toedscool form a ladder to help Liko and her Pokémon out of the ravine, Liko commands Floragato to cut the vines with {{m|Magical Leaf}}. The Toedscool turn around, waiting for something as the heat from the sun intensifies. Just then, a strong wind blows through where the vines where, creating a twister in the ravine as the Toedscool rejoice. One by one, they all fly into the twister, releasing flaps into the swirling winds. Liko realizes that this is in fact the "pillar of petals". Liko is glad that Floragato was here to see this with her.

Night falls at the camp site as Dot is shocked to hear that Liko saw the pillar of petals. Liko tells her and Roy that the petals turned out to be Toedscool flaps, and Roy thinks that will make a great report. Dot looks up that the strong wind blowing over the hot ground, as well as the angle of the ravine in which the wind runs along, causes a tornado. The resident Toedscool have a habit of using this wind to get their flaps to peel off. Dot asks Liko if she took photos out videos, and she nervously says that she forgot. However, she decides to draw up an illustration for her report instead. Liko smiles at Floragato, happy she was able to strengthen their bond with this experience.

{{spoilers}}
==Blurb==

It’s almost time for Dot’s Tera Training aptitude test, but she’s worried because Quaxly, an unevolved Water type, will be at a disadvantage against Iono’s Electric-type, Bellibolt. Dot analyzes both Pokémon’s moves in an effort to come up with a plan, and she vows to stick to it when the battle begins. But in the heat of battle, she gets taken off guard by Bellibolt’s health-restoring Electromorphosis Ability. Realizing she needs to use a new strategy, Dot has Quaxly Terastallize for the first time, then relies on Quaxly’s innate skills to go on the offensive. Can she win the battle, and will she pass the test?

==Plot==
[[File:Liko Floragato Roy Fuecoco Dot Quaxly.png|thumb|250px|left|Floragato, Fuecoco and Quaxly listening to their Traniers]]
[[Dot]] posts a Nidothing video in collaboration with {{an|Iono}} regarding their upcoming [[Tera Training]] {{pkmn|battle}}, during which Iono expresses her hopes on her challenger battling true to herself. After the video has been posted, Dot talks with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] about what she thinks "battling true to herself" means to her. Based on her [[HZ049|earlier battle]] against {{p|Varoom}}, she believes the answer to be creating a plan and following through with it. Having simulated a battle between {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} and {{p|Bellibolt}} based on their [[move]]s, she believes she has a plan that she can follow. She does, however, acknowledge the fact that unexpected things can always happen, based on one of her Nidothing streams, where she accidentally messed up in the middle of a live broadcast, although this ended up spreading Nidothing's popularity further. As such, Dot spends the entire night refining her plan to be as comprehensive as possible, knowing full well that her unevolved {{t|Water}} type is at a severe disadvantage against a fully evolved {{t|Electric}} type.

The next morning, after refusing an offer from an ecstatic [[Murdock]] to come cheer for her in person, Dot heads out with Liko and Roy to prepare for her battle. Unnoticed by them, [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] are following them to get intel on {{an|Terapagos}}, though Coral has more interest in getting some of the local {{wp|churro}}s. They are, though, noticed by [[Clavell]], who assumes that they have come to cheer for their fellow student and offers to join them in doing so, but the two walk away while Clavell is busy checking his phone. As the evening sun spreads orange light over [[Levincia]], Dot exits the [[Levincia Gym]], having been informed that the arrangements for her battle are done and that it'll take place at the central square. Clavell meets up with the three, wishes Dot good luck in her test, and asks how their journey has been going so far. Roy starts excitedly telling in length about what he [[HZ048|experienced]] in [[Artazon]], so Liko tells Dot to go ahead. Just as Dot heads off, Clavell turns to Liko and asks her how she's been doing.
[[File:Iono Bellibolt Electromorphosis.png|thumb|250px|Quaxly fighting Bellibolt]]
As night descends over the central square, Iono starts a livestream to broadcast her and Dot's Tera Training battle live. With a crowd around the square watching, Dot reminds herself to stick to the plan. Iono starts the battle with {{m|Spark}}, but Dot uses Quaxly's superior speed to avoid the attack. Iono orders another Spark from Bellibolt, but Quaxly again dodges it. Iono realizes that Dot had noticed that Bellibolt takes a moment to charge up the electricity required for the attack and used that opportunity to avoid it. While Dot orders a {{m|Water Gun}} as a counterattack, Liko and Clavell are still locked up in their conversation, until they notice Roy following Dot's battle on his [[Rotom Phone]] and are reminded of it. They rush to the central square, where Quaxly's Water Gun has only succeeded in triggering Bellibolt's {{a|Electromorphosis}} [[Ability]], building up electric power inside it. Dot tells Quaxly to dodge the incoming attack, but Iono surprises her by having Bellibolt unleash a powered-up {{m|Discharge}}, which covers the entire field and hits Quaxly hard. Struggling to stand back up, Quaxly only barely avoids a Spark before striking back with {{m|Low Kick}} and Water Gun. Deciding on a moment of healing, Iono tells Bellibolt to use {{m|Slack Off}}. Quaxly's Water Gun barrage fails to stop Bellibolt from healing itself, and it stands back up, fully reenergized. Iono orders a Discharge, but due to Quaxly's attacks having left the battlefield soaking wet, this inadvertently knocks out power from the central square, causing both the lights and the livestream to be plunged into darkness.

Dot tries to come up with a new plan to deal with the situation, but her mind is drawing a blank due to the situation being too unexpected. She does, however, calm down upon seeing Quaxly dancing happily on the puddles around the square. Deciding to turn this disaster into success, Dot pulls out her [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallizes Quaxly into a Water type. The timing of this maneuver catches Iono off-guard, and her confusion only grows when Dot tells Quaxly to repeatedly use Low Kick without taking advantage of the Terastallization. During the rapid-fire assault, Quaxly suddenly learns a new Water-type move and hits Bellibolt hard with a boosted {{m|Liquidation}}. Liko and Roy are happy about this, but at that moment, the lights and the cameras turn back on. With her livestream restored, Iono regains her usual confidence and decides to go all out too, Terastallizing Bellibolt into an Electric type and ordering another Discharge. Quaxly attempts a counterattack with Liquidation, but Discharge strikes first. When the attack dissipates, Quaxly's Terastallized state becomes undone and he [[Fainting|collapses]], making Iono the winner of the match. Dot admits that she lost, but, at Iono's insistence, also admits that she had fun. Iono emphasizes that having fun is a very important part of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], and because of this and staying true to herself, she declares that Dot has passed her test. Liko and Roy come over to congratulate Dot while Iono concludes her livestream.

Later, at the Levincia Gym, Clavell also congratulates Dot on passing her test, before extending the same congratulations to Liko and Roy as well. Now that all three of them have passed their tests, he asks them all to return to [[Naranja Academy]], though he also reminds them to interact with [[wild Pokémon]] along the way and write their reports for [[Jacq]]. Before that, though, he again addresses Dot and asks her to teach him all that she knows about streaming, leaving Liko and Roy to awkwardly wait as yet another lengthy conversation ensues.

==Blurb==

Dot’s upcoming Tera Training test against Iono has brought Liko, Roy, and Dot back to Levincia. Iono wants to hold a rehearsal before the official battle, which she plans to livestream on the Iono Zone. Upon hearing this, Dot panics: she has no experience being on camera as herself—only as Nidothing. After losing the rehearsal battle against Roy, she decides to take the test in character as Nidothing. But a Varoom suddenly makes off with her costume, leaving her no choice but to battle in the open as a crowd begins to gather….

==Plot==
On the way to [[Levincia]], where [[Dot]]'s [[Tera Training]] test is set to take place, [[Liko]] and Dot notice how happy [[Roy]] is that he [[HZ048|passed]] his test. Liko tries to give Dot confidence before being notified about a new Nidothing video that Dot scheduled in advance. Liko, blushing, asks Dot if any of her videos would be filmed out and about, and Dot denies it. Roy calls the girls over to show that they've arrived in Levincia.

In the city, Roy says it looks just as awesome as always. Liko turns {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s attention to a {{p|Sprigatito}} billboard, asking if it takes her back. Dot contacts the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to tell them that they've arrived in town. [[Murdock]] tells Dot that he got some of the sweets from [[Cortondo|Patisserie Soapberry]] for her and the others. {{an|Iono}} greets everyone and presents [[Wasabi]] sauce. Roy wonders if they could see her before the Tera Training course, but Dot says she's busy and doesn't have that kind of time. However, to their surprise, Iono is right there at the dock waiting for them, revealing that it was her who showed it to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Murdock hands out the sweets he got from his part-time job, thrilling Liko and Roy. Everyone enjoys the sweets as Friede, Liko, and Roy talk about how the Tera Training course is going. Iono then asks Dot for a favor.

Everyone heads out to the dock, which is lit up by a circle of {{p|Tadbulb}}. Iono tells Dot that her Tera Training tests are shown on livestreams, ready for the rehearsal {{pkmn|battle}}. As lots of [[Rotom Phone]]s surround a nervous Dot, Iono wants her to battle like this rehearsal is the real deal. She then chooses Roy to be her opponent. Liko notices how nervous Dot is acting before the battle begins. {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} starts off with {{m|Flame Charge}}, which scores a direct hit on {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}. Dot is about to give a command, but gets distracted by the cameras of the surrounding Rotom Phones. Fuecoco scores another direct hit on Quaxly with {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, followed by a slew of {{m|Flamethrower}}s, all while Dot is too anxious to give any commands at all, resulting in her defeat. Liko sees how Dot isn't acting like herself. Iono asks Dot what's wrong, and she says that she can't concentrate with all those cameras pointed at her. Iono understands and takes the phones back before giving Dot the advice to put on a good show in a {{Tera}}stal battle. Dot finds it hard to believe that she can't have that kind of battle as herself and not Nidothing.

On the [[Brave Olivine]], Dot looks at her Nidothing suit before picking it up. Roy talks with Liko about Iono's offer to let Dot battle in her Tera Training test as Nidothing. Liko wonders if Dot is okay with it, saying that Nidothing and Dot aren't the same in terms of personality. Liko gets notified about a Nidothing livestream, becomes shocked to see that it's being recorded on the Brave Olivine's upper deck. Nidothing announces something big coming up, leading Roy and Liko to think that Dot accepted Iono's offer. Nidothing is about to come out and say it, but after a moment of silence, she says that it's coming up soon.

Dot is in town wearing her Nidothing costume and filming Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} eating churros from [[Smoochurro]]. Liko and Roy are watching her from a bush, Liko noticing Quaxly is not as into it as Nidothing. Nidothing continues to do her thing, getting several people to record her as Quaxly becomes more disappointed. Dot takes off the Nidothing suit in an alley and checks the response. Liko and Roy find her and point out how much fun she was having. The cameras don't bother Dot when she's Nidothing. Liko and Roy ask her if she's planning on battling as Nidothing during the Tera Training course, and Dot says that she got Iono's permission. Liko, starting to feel uneasy, asks Dot if that's what she wants as Tinkatink finds a sleeping {{p|Varoom}} on a crate. Liko thinks Dot was forcing herself in the act, and Dot is quick to nervously deny it. Just then, Dot notices an annoyed Quaxly dragging the Nidothing costume away. Dot tries to get it back, but Quaxly stands in her way. Liko questions Dot again about battling as Nidothing, and Dot, overwhelmed once again, insists that her decision is final.

Just then, the kids see Tinkatink being attacked by Varoom. Roy has Fuecoco use Flamethrower, and Varoom leans to the side to avoid it. Varoom sets its sights on Fuecoco and revs up, scaring the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}. Tinkatink starts crying, forcing Dot to [[recall]] her back into her {{i|Poké Ball}}. Varoom charges at the group, only to have the Nidothing suit land on top of the Single-Cyl Pokémon as it speeds away with it. The group follows Varoom to the city's central square, where it confronts them in front of everyone. Dot again becomes nervous at everyone breaking out their cameras to record the scene. Quaxly charges in and gets knocked back by Varoom. Dot sees Quaxly's determination, but still can't fight with all the cameras out. Quaxly uses {{m|Pound}}, but his vision is obscured by smoke from Varoom, leaving it open to be rammed again by the Single-Cyl Pokémon. Seeing Dot and Quaxly struggle, Liko and Roy run in to help, only for Dot to stop them and join Quaxly. Dot commands a {{m|Water Gun}}, which Varoom dodges with rapid movements. Quaxly reminds Dot to keep her focus away from the cameras. Finally taking her mind off the cameras, Dot commands Quaxly to use Water Gun over and over. As Dot pays attention to Varoom's movements, it charges again, only for Quaxly to toss it aside with {{m|Low Kick}} and leave it open for one last Water Gun.

Varoom gets back up, but this time, it has calmed down and warms up to Quaxly. The people watching are amazed by Dot's performance as Iono announces that she will facing Dot in the Terastal course and it will be livestreamed. Dot remembers the Nidothing costume, only to see that it has vanished. Liko and Roy carry the Nidothing costume into the ally, just as Dot comes over and thanks them for grabbing it. She then apologizes to them before saying that the cameras didn't bother her when she was battling with Quaxly. This battle makes Dot think that she's earned some respect from Iono and decides to take the test as herself, which amazes Liko and Roy.

In her recording studio, Iono admits that battling Nidothing would have built even more hype, but this is fun every now and then. She tells Dot not to hold back.

Yuno

[[File:Yuno.png|thumb|250px|Yuno]]
'''Yuno''' (Japanese: '''ユノ''' ''Yuno'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]''.

==History==
Yuno is a beginner Trainer from [[Pigton Town]] who started her journey with a female {{p|Oinkologne}}, who was named Twirly. A few days before [[Pigton Town Multi Battle Tournament]], Yuno asked [[Dot|Nidothing]] for assistance with her Pokémon's personality issues.

When [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] arrived to resolve the situation with the assistance of {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} and Nidothing, they discovered that Oinkologne was in love with [[Renta]]'s Oinkologne named Prince. Yuno then explained that Renta was an old friend and a childhood [[rival]] of hers. After being snubbed by Renta and Oinkologne, Yuno and Twirly decided with the help of Liko and Roy to bathe and teach Twirly some etiquette, so that the Pokémon would awaken Prince's feelings. After being snubbed again, Oinkologne with the help of Quaxly managed to reach Prince's feelings and after another argument between their Trainers, Yuno and Renta made peace. However, before leaving, Yuno asked Liko to train together for the competition, already in perfect synchronization, the duo Yuno and Renta manage to have a tough battle against Liko and Roy.

During the competition, Yuno and Renta managed to beat all the challengers and thus reach the final, defeating a huge {{p|Mamoswine}} and thus being the winners of the Pigton Town Multi Battle Tournament. After the competition, Yuno was interviewed by Nidothing, but ended the interview after becoming confused about her own feelings for Renta.

'''Katy''' (Japanese: '''カエデ''' ''Kaede'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cortondo]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cortondo Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She hands out the {{badge|PaldeaBug|Bug Badge}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.

==In the core series games==
Besides being a Gym Leader, Katy runs a bakery named Patisserie Soapberry (Japanese: '''パティスリー　ムクロジ''' ''Pâtisserie Mukuroji''), having inherited the shop from her family.<ref>[[Magazines in the Pokémon world|Sweet Truth!]]: ''"At the heart of it all is Katy, the proprietor, who inherited the [Patisserie Soapberry] from family and keeps its ovens hard at work!"'' ({{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> She believes that both sweets and Bug-type Pokémon have great power despite their small sizes.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/katy/ Katy — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She was trained in the art of baking under the wing of [[Kofu]].

Because her Gym is so close to [[Mesagoza]], where many Trainers begin their [[Pokémon journey]], [[Geeta]] urges Katy to keep her battle style light and easy despite her wanting to go more all out, as evident by her Gym having the lowest-leveled Pokémon in the [[Paldea League]]. After her post-game [[rematch]] with the {{player}}, she has a moment of reflection and decides to step up the difficulty of her Gym to fit her style more.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Katy gives out {{TM|021|Pounce}} after defeating her.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Katy can be invited to act as a special coach at [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Challenging the Cortondo Gym===
Cortondo Gym Leader: Katy

(AKA: the Sugarbug)

"This Bug-type user is a recommended first stop for anyone considering taking on the Pokémon League. Though sweet as a treat, this baker of bug-themed pastries shows a bold streak in battle."

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Katy appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', and was later mentioned as [[Liko]]'s first challenge at [[Tera Training]].

Katy physically debuted in ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'' as the owner of Patisserie Soapberry, where [[Murdock]] was working for the time being. Katy set a baking contest between Liko and [[Coral]] to see which one of them would battle her, which Liko won, allowing Liko to battle her. After Coral threw a tantrum over her loss, Katy gave her a stern scolding and intimidating stare which made Coral leave without further incident. Although Liko lost the battle, Katy gave her a passing mark as she had mastered the basics of Terastallizing.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Katy appeared at [[Naranja Academy]] to act as Liko's partner against [[Rika]] in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]]. In [[HZ056|the following episode]], Katy played the role of support by having her {{p|Lokix}} protect Liko's Floragato from taking damage. When Lokix ended up {{status|poison}}ed, Katy stopped holding back and had Lokix launch a barrage of attacks to both damage and weaken Rika's Pokémon before succumbing to its status ailment. Despite this, Rika's {{p|Clodsire}} eventually defeated Floragato, winning the battle. Afterward, Katy consoled an emotional Liko, who began crying from the frustration of losing despite giving it her all in battle.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Katy met up with Liko along with Ann to encourage Liko before her battle against Roy, Katy then watched the match unfold. After the battle, Katy and Grusha met up with Liko to encourage her on her progress as a Trainer.

In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', Dot revealed that after the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] disbanded, Murdock went back to working for Katy at the Patisserie Soapberry.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Katy and Murdock met with Liko, Roy, Dot, and their new traveling companion, [[Ult]]. Upon learning the children reformed the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. Katy helped relieve Murdock's worries by having a rematch with Liko to show how much she had grown. She revealed her {{p|Teddiursa|Teddy}} had [[Evolution|Evolved]] into a {{p|Ursaring}} and used it to battle [[Pagogo]], which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, as she and Murdock saw the children off, Katy praised them for continuing to grow despite the hardships they faced. She then suggested that Murdock also had potential to grow, proposing that he rejoin Liko and the others when the time was right.

In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Katy was shown in a flashback, saying goodbye to Murdock as he left to rejoin the Rising Volt Tacklers.

====Character====
Katy has a kind and upbeat personality, being friendly to people she meets. However, when people are misbehaving or causing trouble in front of her like with Coral, she becomes more strict and fierce, not being afraid to tell people off. In battle Katy becomes more excited and ruthless, she loves going all out and does not like holding back against opponents, like with her battle against Rika.

Katy debuted in ''[[PASV06|Skillful! The Mysterious Treasure Hunter!!]]''. She was first seen watching {{Scarlet}} participate in the [[Cortondo Gym]]'s Olive Roll. Once Scarlet successfully completed the Gym Test, she faced Katy in a Gym battle. Although Scarlet emerged victorious, she rejected the Gym Badge Katy offered her, stating she had no need for it. Instead, Scarlet revealed her profession as a treasure hunter looking for the [[treasures of ruin]] and requested that Katy provide her with any information she might have on them. Katy had no knowledge on the subject, but agreed to let [[Brassius]] know what Scarlet was searching for ahead of time.

==In the TCG==
[[File:KatyScarletViolet237.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare Katy]]
{{main|Katy (Scarlet & Violet 177)}}
'''Katy''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[Akira Komayama]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version of the card with artwork by the same illustrator was also included in these sets. It lets players shuffle their hand into their deck, and draw eight cards. This ends the player's turn.

==Trivia==
[[File:SV Reveal Trailer Katy Apron.png|thumb|250px|An apron with the earlier unused design for Katy's logo, as seen in the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} reveal trailer.<ref name=SVTrailer/>]]
* Katy's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|お菓子の虫|Bug of Sweets}}.
* The spider web logo on Katy's apron is notably different in her concept art compared to her final design — the unused logo has a more elaborate look, with a depiction of a slice of cake in one section of the web. An apron with the unused logo is shown prominently in the announcement trailer for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<ref name=SVTrailer>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAmueMsFR1o Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Announcement Trailer - YouTube]</ref>
* Katy has the highest [[Trainer ID number]] (993663) of any NPC in the franchise whose ID number is canonically known, as seen in the [[in-game trade]] she offers in Blueberry Academy's League Club Room.
* Katy is the only [[Paldea]] Gym Leader whose Terastallized Pokémon changes between her initial Gym battle and her rematch battle (due to her {{p|Teddiursa}} having [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Ursaring}}).
** The fact that Katy's Terastallized Pokémon is Teddiursa (and later Ursaring) may allude to common depictions of bears enjoying honey. It may also be a pun on the {{wp|bugbear}}, a mythical creature.
** She is also the only [[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use a Terastallized Pokémon that is not fully evolved in her final team, as Ursaring is unable to evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}} in Scarlet and Violet.
** Along with [[Hassel]], Katy is also the other Trainer to use a non-fully evolved Pokémon in their [[League Club Room]] team.
* Katy's hairstyle and the pattern of her hat resemble insects' antennae, while her tight-fitting clothing with a waistband around her body bears a resemblance to an insect's segmented body.
* Katy was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1984426148626133440 Twitter post about designing Katy, Brassius, Iono, and Tulip]</ref>

Wakaba (HZ020)

[[File:Wakaba HZ020.png|thumb|250px|Wakaba]]
'''Wakaba''' (Japanese: '''ワカバ''' ''Wakaba'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]''. She is a {{tc|Gym Trainer}} apprentice, shadowing under [[Kabu]].

==History==
Wakaba encountered [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] outside [[Motostoke Stadium]] and took them inside to see Kabu. She later watched as they took on the Gym Test, which Roy eventually won. Being a novice {{pkmn|Trainer}} herself, Wakaba was awestruck by Liko's methods of extinguishing {{p|Litwick}}'s flames with {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}'s {{m|Leafage}}. Wakaba subsequently joined Kabu in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against Roy and Liko.

Once Kabu's {{p|Centiskorch}} had defeated [[Roy's Fuecoco]], Kabu left the rest of the battle to Wakaba telling her this would count as her Gym Leader test. However, she was not confident with her battle style, due to being inexperienced, which caused her {{p|Rolycoly}} to receive [[damage]]. Determined to win, she resolved to do her best. Hearing this from Wakaba, Liko felt bad for her and forfeited. Unfortunately, this did not make Wakaba happy as she did not want to become a Gym Trainer without truly earning it, leading Wakaba to run off. After being spoken to by Kabu, Liko went to find her, and they both apologized to each other for how they had acted. Feeling better now, Wakaba gave Liko encouragement to do her best in the future.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]''.

'''Karna''' (Japanese: '''カーナ''' ''Karna'') is a recurring character who appeared in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is a [[Poké Ball]] developer who lives in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==History==
[[File:Orla and Karna.png|250px|left|thumb|Karna and Orla]]
In ''[[HZ028|The Stolen Treasure]]'', Karna was an {{wp|unseen character}}, negotiating with [[Tepen]] over the phone for one of the [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s that belonged to [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. This situation made Liko, Roy, and [[Friede]] think that everything was a scheme created by the [[Explorers]]. When the situation was resolved, Tepen revealed the real identity of his contractor and where her warehouse was located.

In ''[[HZ029|Orla and the Poké Ball Smith]]'', Karna met [[Orla]], Friede, Liko, and Roy when one of their machines malfunctioned. Roy showed her the Poké Ball belonging to the [[Black Rayquaza]] in his possession, but she didn't know anything useful. As the day went on, Karna and Orla repaired the machines in [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Karna's workshop]], who suggested that Orla start helping Karna permanently. When a group of {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} went on rampage, Karna and Orla joined forces to increase the factory's production so that the {{pkmn|category|Poison Gas Pokémon}} can feed on the pollution generated by the chimneys. After everything returned to normal, Orla revealed to Karna that she couldn't help her, and Karna understood, but gave Orla one of her creations, a special Poké Ball.
[[File:Karna Orla Poke Ball.png|250px|thumb|Karna with the custom Poké Ball made by Orla]]
During the year after the [[HZ089|events]] in [[Laqua]], Orla accepted Karna's offer and moved in with her in [[Galar]], though Karna noted that Orla's personality was different. In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', it was revealed that she was also hired by [[Exceed]] to create some [[Strong Sphere|custom pieces]] whose purpose was not revealed to her. Upon learning the truth from the Rising Volt Tacklers when they [[HZ099|reunited]] with Orla, Karna decided to end her collaboration with the company despite their insistence that it was safe.

In the [[HZ100|next episode]], Karna watched Liko, Roy, [[Dot]], and [[Ult]]'s battle against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], when they defeated the duo, Karna assured them that she would take care of disposing of the prototypes. When Orla managed to complete the repairs on the [[Brave Olivine]] and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] were ready to depart, Orla bid farewell to Karna who said that she knew this moment would come, before leaving, Orla handed Karna a custom Poké Ball made by her, which Karna thanked for being something unique and made with passion.
{{-}}

==Character==
Despite the misunderstanding in their first interaction, Karna is a good person, quickly becoming friends with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], especially [[Orla]], which made them closer to each other with common goals. She also takes pride in her work, especially if they are being used for good causes and refuses to be a part of sinister machinations. This is shown in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', when she immediately sided with the Rising Volt Tacklers upon learning her work was causing Pokémon to suffer.

[[File:HZ029 Poké Ball 3.png|250px|thumb|Some of Karna's custom Poké Balls]]
In the past, Karna was taught by her former master that the Poké Ball should bring out the best in each Pokémon. Karna took this teaching with her by creating several varieties of Poké Ball, each with a specific purpose.

As a Poké Ball developer, Karna created some unique concepts used in her prototypes.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Iono was a source of inspiration for [[Dot]] who, after watching one of Iono's livestreams, in which she read a comment from Dot about how to deal with a dilemma regarding her unwillingless to explore the world, decided to join the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Sometime after this, Iono and Dot struck up a friendship, with Dot referring to her as (Japanese: '''ナンジャモお姉さん''' ''Big sister Nanjyamo'').

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Dot and Iono.png|thumb|left|250px|Iono and Dot]]
Iono first appeared in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', where she was contacted by Dot to help her find [[Liko]], who was missing. Taking the opportunity, Iono asked Dot if she wanted to do a collaboration in her live show as Nidothing to better spread the word. With the help of Iono, Dot was able to locate Liko in [[Levincia]]. Iono then turned the search into a game of tag and later congratulated [[Roy]] for finding Liko and thanked Liko for her help in making her stream a hit.

In ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', Iono reappeared talking to Dot via video conference, showing that she knew that Dot had finally become a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When she was interrupted by Liko and Roy, she talked to Liko a little about her friendship with Dot and wished everyone to have fun at the planned party for [[Diana]]'s farewell to [[Brave Olivine]].

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Iono appeared hosting an edition of Iono Zone when she was interrupted by the appearance of the [[Black Rayquaza]] in the skies, dancing animatedly in excitement.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Iono appeared in a flashback of Liko and Roy's journey.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Iono was selected as Dot's challenge as part of [[Tera Training]], much to Dot's frustration. Sometime after Dot, Liko, and Roy began their training, Iono helped the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] get a place to keep the Brave Olivine safe while it was being repaired.

In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Iono met Dot again at the dock where the Brave Olivine was docked. Seeing Dot's insecurity without the Nidothing outfit, Iono proposed that Dot battle as Nidothing in a training battle with Roy. Later, upon seeing Dot's confidence in winning a battle alongside {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}, Iono announced in a video that Dot would be her opponent in an online event. In secret, Iono expressed that she would like to face Dot as Nidothing because it would increase her online audience, but she was happy for her friend.

In ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]'', Iono participated in another Nidothing video, and with her outgoing personality, Iono overshadowed Dot a little when the two were talking about the upcoming battle between the two. The next day, Iono finally had her battle with Dot, and despite the efforts of Dot and {{p|Quaxly}}, Iono managed to win the battle. After the battle, Iono approved Dot in her Tera Training's test and congratulated her for understanding a little more how to evolve as a Trainer.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Iono came to [[Naranja Academy]] to help the Tera Training students, participating in a [[Multi Battle]] alongside Dot against [[Poppy]] from [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]]. After a tough battle, Iono and Dot were able to defeat the young Trainer, and soon after, Iono motivated Dot to continue doing her best.
[[File:Paldea Flying Taxi anime.png|250px|thumb|Iono arriving by Flying Taxi to help Dot travel to Cortondo]]
In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Iono appeared on a video call talking to Dot after the end of the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]. After being informed that she was late for the start of the event, she was interrupted by Poppy's arrival and Dot told her that she would calmly talk about everything another time.

Iono reappeared in a flashback in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]''.

In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', Iono contacted Dot as she packed her bags to travel again with Liko and Roy. In the [[HZ097|following episode]], Iono reunited with Dot after a few months of not seeing each other. Iono revealed to Dot that a mysterious Pokémon was attacking some Trainers in Levincia. During the conversation, they discovered that it was a {{p|Stunfisk}}, and left Dot in charge of finding [[Stunner Fisk|the Trainer]] of this Pokémon while she was live streaming for a supermarket advertisement.

After finishing the Live, Iono went to try to find out how Dot was doing and discovered her battling Stunner Fisk. After Dot defeated him in a difficult battle, Iono talked to Stunner Fisk and suggested a challenge to him so that he would stop playing pranks on the townspeople. After that, Iono helped Dot travel to [[Cortondo]] with a [[Flying Taxi]].

In [[HZ102]], Iono contacted Dot for another collaboration, this time wanting a live outdoor performance, much to Dot's concern.

===Character===
[[File:Iono HZ034.png|thumb|250px|Iono without her hair accessories]]
Iono is a streamer, online video creator, and an influencer, running a {{wp|Live streaming|livestream}} called "Iono Zone" (Japanese: '''ドンナモンジャＴＶ''' ''Donnamonja TV''). She is known to stream her work as a [[Gym Leader]], and prioritizes viewer numbers and engagement on her channel. As such, she never misses the chance to have a collaboration with another popular figure, such as [[Dot]]'s alter-ego, Nidothing, whom Iono is good friends with. Accordingly, Iono was one of the few people outside of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to know Dot's true identity, with Dot occasionally asking Iono for advice and help.

As a result of her popularity, Iono finds it really hard to be able to explore the outdoors without being recognized, and as such, occasionally tends to find places where she can relax without the worry of being discovered, as seen in ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', when she began spending time at the [[Brave Olivine]] whilst it was being repaired. She's also very considerate to her friends, as upon realizing that Dot was suffering from stage fright, she allowed her to challenge her as her Nidothing persona, but after seeing Dot's newfound confidence, allowed her to battle as herself, and whilst wanting to battle Nidothing to help her boost her viewers, she was nonetheless genuinely happy for Dot's growth.

She appeared briefly in ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'' without her hair accessories, which according to her, is part of her personality and who she really is.
