The '''Brave Olivine''' (Japanese: '''ブレイブアサギ号''' ''Brave Asagi'') is the base of operations of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], acting as both the group's airship and living quarters.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Brave Olivine ship.png|thumb|250px|The Olivine before being converted]]
Several years prior, the Brave Olivine was originally a fishing boat owned by [[Ludlow]] named the '''Olivine''' (Japanese: '''アサギ号''' ''Asagi''). When forming the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], [[Friede]] requested to be given ownership of the boat, which Ludlow accepted. Friede had [[Orla]] convert the Olivine into an airship and later renamed the vessel into the Brave Olivine. During their adventures, various Pokémon from different [[region]]s made the Brave Olivine their home, including a wild {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
The airship debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' when it was seen flying over [[Indigo Academy]] in the distance. It was first seen from up close in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' when Friede took [[Liko]] and her Pokémon partner {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to the airship to keep them safe from the [[Explorers]]. Once there, the airship headed towards a storm to avoid the Explorers, although the strategy failed and they managed to board the airship regardless. During a battle between Friede's [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], Liko's Sprigatito was taken by the Explorers, as well as the group's flag having flown away due to the storm. In [[HZ003|the next episode]], the airship landed at a port town to allow them to locate the Explorers. While the majority of the group was away, [[Zirc]] managed to place a tracker on the ship. Once Sprigatito was rescued, the ship departed from the town. Elsewhere, a boy named [[Roy]] found the missing flag and kept it for himself.

[[File:Brave Olivine damaged.png|thumb|left|250px|The Brave Olivine damaged along [[East Province (Area Two)]]'s shores]]
In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', the airship was shown to have suffered several ruptures, causing it to leak gas and lose altitude. As such, the group was forced to stop at [[Roy's hometown|an island]] off [[Kanto]]'s shore. Once there, Roy and Liko met after Fuecoco went missing, whom Roy found in the island. [[HZ005|That night]], Roy sneaked aboard the airship to try and find Fuecoco, but was caught by the group. Despite Roy's clandestine arrival, the group opted to remain on the island longer as the airship still hadn't been repaired. Later that day, the airship briefly took flight before the group was attacked by the Explorers once again. During the battle, Orla had the island's {{type|Bug}} [[wild Pokémon]] help repair the airship's balloon gasbag to allow it to regain flight. In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy returned the flag to the group and hoisted it.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the airship was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers to the [[Paldea]] region until they decided to head for the [[Galar]] region in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]''.

[[File:Levincia docks.png|thumb|250px|The Brave Olivine docked in [[Levincia]]]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', the airship took a rest stop and needed an inspection in order to fly safely. However, [[Spinel]]'s sabotage prevented their systems from rebooting while the Rising Volt Tacklers were having a [[picnic]]. Fortunately, they were able to figure out the problem and set off for the Galar region in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', arriving there in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'' until they decided to return to Paldea in ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]''. The group welcomed two new Pokémon in ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'' and one in ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]''.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Friede had the airship sail on the ocean while searching for [[Lucius's Lapras]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers eventually found Lapras, only to learn it was leading a gang of Pokémon pirates. Ludlow used his boat piloting skills to keep the pirates from fleeing, but was stopped when Lapras froze the airship in place with {{m|Ice Beam}}. The ice was later melted by [[Diana]]'s {{p|Arcanine}}.
[[File:Brave Olivine Emergency Button.png|left|250px|thumb|The Brave Olivine's emergency button]]
In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the airship was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers back to Paldea. In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', [[Murdock]] piloted the airship to the {{DL|East Province (Area Two)|Levincia Lighthouse}}, where the Explorers were battling the [[Black Rayquaza]] so that [[Dot]] could disable the machine that was affecting Rayquaza. In a fit of rage, [[Coral]] commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}} on Rayquaza, sending it reeling back into the Brave Olivine, severely damaging the airship. The airship made a successful emergency landing on water in [[HZ045|the next episode]], leaving every person and Pokémon aboard unharmed, though the ship itself was in no shape to fly more for the time being. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', the ship was shown to be docked in [[Levincia]], being repaired by Orla. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Orla revealed to Friede that the repairs were halfway done and that she was considering giving the airship an upgrade of some kind.

In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', the Brave Olivine was shown to have been fully repaired and taken flight once more as it picked up the junior members of the Rising Volt Tacklers from [[Naranja Academy]] following the conclusion of their [[Tera Training]] course. During the presentation of the ship's new features, Friede showed off a new button only meant to be used in emergencies. The younger members even see that their teammates have welcomed three new Pokémon during their Tera Training. Also, in the same episode, the Brave Olivine gets the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Kitakami]] until they decided to meet with their former teammate [[Wy-Yes]] in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', as they meet up with him at a [[HZ076|savanna]].

In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', the Brave Olivine gets the Rising Volt Tacklers to the [[Johto]] region until they decided to return to Paldea in the [[HZ078|next episode]]. The Brave Olivine was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers back to Paldea in the [[HZ079|following episode]] until ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'' when they follow the Black Rayquaza to [[Laqua]].

[[File:Brave Olivine Infinite Rising.png|thumb|250px|The Brave Olivine in its Infinite Rising mode]]
In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', the Black Rayquaza led the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Mount Pericarp]], where Laqua was located. As Laqua itself was at too high an elevation for the Brave Olivine to fly, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede had to travel there on foot.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', when Laqua started collapsing due to Spinel's actions, the other Rising Volt Tacklers came to Liko and the others' rescue. Orla pressed the emergency button, transforming the Brave Olivine into the '''Brave Olivine: Infinite Rising''' (Japanese: '''ブレイブアサギ号　インフィニットライジング''' ''Brave Asagi: Infinite Rising''). Liko and the others managed to board the ship, but the speed at which it was flying sent Friede, Charizard, and Captain Pikachu overboard. Friede held on long enough to get Captain Pikachu to safety, but his grip eventually loosened, causing him and Charizard to be sent flying away from the ship while the others could only watch in horror.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', as the new Rising Volt Tacklers looked for their former teammates, they met with Murdock at Cortondo, where he revealed that after the events in Laqua, the ship was dismantled. However, in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', it was revealed that the ship was left intact in a forest, with Orla still maintaining the ship from time to time. It was also revealed that the ship was being used as a den for the wild Pokémon that had originally lived there.

[[File:Brave Olivine Rising Again.png|thumb|left|250px|The Brave Olivine in its Rising Again mode]]
In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', the Brave Olivine was cleaned up and repaired by Orla and the younger members. After Ludlow, Murdock, and Mollie returned, [[Ult]] joined the group, and finding out that Friede was still alive but in hiding from the Explorers, the Brave Olvine took flight once again.

In the [[HZ101|next episode]], the Brave Olivine was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers back to Paldea until they decided to go to the [[Unova]] region in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', arriving there in ''[[HZ115|Welcome to Blueberry Academy!]]'' until they left in ''[[HZ120|Dot and Penny's Top-Secret Mission!]]''. A wild Pokémon stowed away in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]''.

In ''[[HZ121|The Catcher in the Sky]]'', the Brave Olivine was able to help the Rising Volt Tacklers get Friede back onto the ship safety after returning from space and his ship ran into trouble.

In ''[[HZ126|Strong Bonds, Can't Lose!]]'', after returning to Paldea, the Brave Olivine was kept hidden at a dockyard in Levincia to keep the general public from seeing it. Orla promised Liko and the others she would upgrade the Infinite Rising mode so that the airship could safely ascend Mount Pericarp once they returned to fully purify the Laquium Core. The upgraded mode, dubbed by Friede as (Japanese: '''ブレイブアサギ号　ライジングアゲイン''' ''Brave Asagi: Rising Again''), was finished in ''[[HZ131|A Surprise Reunion]]'' as the Rising Volt Tacklers, with temporarily returning member Wy-Yes and their allies, {{an|Nemona}}, [[Penny]], [[Ann]], [[Perrin]], and [[Master Mayonnaise]], headed for the Galar region to pick up Diana and her {{p|Pecharunt}}.

After picking up Diana and dropping off Master Mayonnaise in [[HZ132|the following episode]], the airship took off once more and headed to Laqua, where it arrived in [[HZ133|the next episode]]. While Friede, Captain Pikachu, Dot, Liko, Roy, Ult, and their allies headed for the summit of Mount Pericarp to fight the Explorers, Ludlow, Orla, Murdock, Wy-Yes, Mollie, and Perrin stayed behind to protect [[Pericarp Town]] from the Laquium mist. They even took any infected Pokémon aboard the Brave Olivine to be treated by Mollie.

In ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'', the Brave Olivine was able to get to Laqua to pick up Friede, Captain Pikachu, Dot, Liko, Roy, Ult, and their allies, as they leave the paradise with their mission to destroy Laquium finished. Also, with their name clear with the public, the Rising Volt Tacklers take the Brave Olivine to the sky once again without worry. In [[HZ139]], the Rising Volt Tacklers welcomed a new Pokémon to the team.

The '''Rising Volt Tacklers''' (Japanese: '''ライジングボルテッカーズ''' ''Rising Volteccers'') is a team of adventurers featured in {{aniseries|HZ}}, led by [[Friede]] and, after his disappearance and the team's reformation, [[Roy]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers travel around the {{pkmn|world}} aboard their airship and base of operations, the [[Brave Olivine]]. After [[Liko]] and Roy joined the team, their main mission became to find and gather the [[Six Heroes]], which led them to cross paths with the [[Explorers]].

With Friede's disappearance and the Explorers framing them as the villains, the Rising Volt Tacklers temporarily disbanded following the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', but were rebirthed by Roy in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', a year later, now with the goal of stopping the Explorers' plans and clearing their name to the public. In ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'', they finally succeeded in their efforts.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Pre-series===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers formed.png|thumb|250px|The formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Sometime prior to the events of the series, the [[Pokémon Professor]] [[Friede]], who quit his job at [[Exceed]], was [[fishing]] in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and his former mentor [[Ludlow]]. Friede met up with a teacher of his, [[Lucca]], who wanted him to meet someone. Upon meeting a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] trying to fly, Friede decided to do research on him and tried to befriend the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}}. Although he failed to befriend {{P|Pikachu}}, Friede didn't give up as he offered the Mouse Pokémon some food. Eventually, Friede decided to fly up to sky to see why Pikachu wanted to fly, realizing that he wanted to see the horizons. Seeing Pikachu falling, Friede and Charizard saved him, winning his friendship. Friede asked Pikachu to be his partner, which he accepted. Later, Friede asked Ludlow if he can have his boat and was okay with it. The two arrived in [[Slateport City]] in [[Hoenn]] where Friede met up with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and asked her to turn Ludlow's boat into an airship. Through her help, the boat turned into the [[Brave Olivine]] and the four of them formed the Rising Volt Tacklers. Also, Friede decided to [[nickname]] his partner Captain Pikachu.

Later, the four of them met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, but Wy-Yes eventually decided to leave the team in order to become a journalist for {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}. Sometime after Wy-Yes left, Murdock's niece [[Dot]] (who is a well-known streamer known as Nidothing) joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. During their adventures, the Rising Volt Tacklers had various Pokémon from all the different regions settle in with them when they decided to make the Brave Olivine their home. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca, who was reached out by her mother, [[Diana]], as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in the [[Kanto]] region, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Explorers.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Friede]] facing the [[Explorers]] for the first time]]
The Rising Volt Tacklers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. They first appeared looking for Liko at Indigo Academy, but they failed to find her because all the students were wearing the same uniforms. Despite this, they decided to try again in finding Liko during the school break with Friede going back to Indigo Academy by himself in order to find her. When Liko clashed with the members of the [[Explorers]], Friede appeared to help her. After nearly getting hit by {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} were protected by the power of her mysterious pendant.

In the [[HZ002|following episode]], Friede took Liko to the Rising Volt Tacklers' airship, where she had her first interaction with the rest of the group. Before Liko could ask more about them, the ship was intercepted by members of the Explorers and another battle between Friede and [[Amethio]] ensued. After Liko almost gave herself to the Explorers, her Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the force field around the Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, allowing Amethio to capture her before fleeing with his group.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede revealed that Liko's mother hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group went to the city where the Explorers were last seen, and [[Murdock's Rockruff]] managed to smell Sprigatito's scent in [[Onia]]. Friede, Liko, and Rockruff chased her back to their temporary base, where Friede engaged Amethio again in a battle to allow for Liko and Rockruff to find where Sprigatito was held captive. After being reunited with her Pokémon, Liko decided to trust in the Rising Volt Tacklers and became part of the group, whose next destination was Paldea.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] for the first time]]
[[HZ004|Throughout]] their [[HZ005|journey]] to get Liko to Paldea, the Rising Volt Tacklers met a boy named [[Roy]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he helped them repair their ship. Roy [[HZ006|eventually]] decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their adventures, after forming a bond with a {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} that lived with them as he became his first Pokémon and an encounter with a [[Black Rayquaza]] that came out of his [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers helped Liko and Roy become [[HZ007|better at Pokémon battles]]. In addition, Liko and Roy learned of the existence of Dot (who was hiding in her room from the rest of the crew and Liko and Roy up until that point) as they [[HZ008|attempted]] to make friends with her.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Paldea. After Friede failed to reach Liko's mother, they decided to head over to her house as [[Alex]], her father, was home. However, Liko overheard Alex talking to Friede, as he expressed how worried he was about her being on her own and expressed a desire for her to attend school in Paldea. Liko decided to head back to the ship for the night, but was not able to fall sleep. Through Orla and Mollie's advice and a drawing Dot made for her, Liko made up her mind as she left the ship to go back home to tell Alex her decision. Upon arriving home, Liko told her father that she wanted to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers and attend online classes at the Indigo Academy, which he understood and accepted her decision.
[[File:Liko and Roy with Arboliva.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] with [[Lucius's Arboliva]]]]
Following a lead from Alex and [[Brassius]] about the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers [[HZ011|investigated]] [[Arboliva's Forest]] where they met a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} that had another Ancient Poké Ball and saw the damage that a forest fire caused to it. The Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to restore the forest and eventually witnessed Liko's pendant reveal an [[Pagogo|unknown Pokémon]], which showed her and Roy a vision. After Arboliva decided to join them, Liko and Roy discovered that it and the Black Rayquaza belonged to [[Lucius]], the Ancient Adventurer. Friede also found out about this through Lucca as she told him that she knew the legend thanks to her mother. Liko [[HZ012|decided]] to meet with her grandmother in [[Galar]] to learn more about her pendant.

However, [[HZ013|before]] they could set off for Galar, they were ambushed by [[Spinel]] of the Explorers who was able to steal [[HZ014|Liko's pendant]] by using his {{p|Beheeyem}} to put her in a trance, which led her to lose part of her [[HZ015|memory]]. While most of the crew was searching for Liko, Dot had some help in streamer and [[Levincia]] [[Gym Leader]] {{an|Iono}} in finding her. Dot decided to leave the airship in order to find Liko, causing Roy to finally meet her in person. Meanwhile, Liko was able to recover the memories she lost while under Beheeyem's trance and met up with Roy and Dot, meeting the latter for the first time. After reuniting with Friede, Liko realized that her pendant was stolen, so the Rising Volt Tacklers made a plan to get it back from Spinel. Dot officially became a [[HZ016|Pokémon Trainer]] with the {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that have been living with the Rising Volt Tacklers as her first Pokémon. After they managed to get Liko's pendant back from Spinel, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off for the Galar region.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling [[Lucius's Moltres]]]]
During [[HZ017|their]] [[HZ018|journey]] to Galar, the younger members became curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during a battle against Roy's Fuecoco and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}. After failing to get an answer from Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot asked the rest of the members, but no luck. However, their question did get the rest of the members curious as well, turning to Friede for answers. Although he was reluctant to answer their question, Friede decided to tell them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Galar. They decided that their first stop was at [[Motostoke]] before heading to [[Hammerlocke]] by train.

However, [[HZ020|after hearing from]] [[Kabu]] that he saw the Black Rayquaza flying to the west of Motostoke, they [[HZ021|decided]] to take a detour to the [[Galar Mine]]. Here, Liko, Roy, and Friede [[HZ022|encountered]] the Explorers again and they battle them. However, a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrived and attacked them, which led to Captain Pikachu getting injured. Fortunately, Liko and Roy managed to bring Captain Pikachu out of the mine while Friede continued his battle against Amethio. [[HZ023|After recovering]] at the Motostoke's [[Pokémon Center]], Liko and Roy reunited with Friede and the three of them decided to confront Moltres again in order to calm it down. Through their teamwork, they were able to do it. After Terapagos reappeared, they saw a vision and Moltres decided to join them, returning to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, Terapagos didn't return to its pendant form, as {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} sensed its presence and revealed it to her Trainer. Friede hid Terapagos while he, Liko, and Roy decided to take it to the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers properly meeting [[Pagogo|Terapagos]]]]
[[HZ024|After showing the rest of their teammates Terapagos]], Liko, Roy, and Friede headed for Hammerlocke to find the [[ancient castle]] that Diana was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, they were able to meet with Diana, who explained her past and the history of Terapagos. However, they were ambushed by the Explorers, who followed them to their location in order to take Terapagos. [[HZ025|Fortunately]], they were able to escape with Diana joining them as she showed Liko information about Lucius and his remaining Pokémon. [[HZ026|After Terapagos did some exploring of its surroundings]], Diana gave Liko a belt that was owned by Lucius to hold the Ancient Poké Balls. Liko then told her friends that she wanted to find Lucius's remaining Pokémon and look for [[Laqua]], which they agreed. However, due to not having a lot of information of the three remaining Pokémon, they decided to continue pursuing Black Rayquaza. [[HZ027|After Dot got misled in finding information about the Black Rayquaza's whereabouts]], Roy decided to ask someone if they knew anything about the Ancient Poké Balls, which Diana tells him that she knows someone who could help. [[HZ028|However]], Diana's friend [[Tepen]] turned out to have turned into stealing. Fortunately, Liko, Diana, and their friends helped Tepen realize the error of his ways. Although Tepen wasn't able to help them get information about the Ancient Poké Balls, Liko and her friends were able to get intel on a contact of his. [[HZ029|Through Tepen's information]], Liko and her friends met [[Karna]] as she designs Poké Balls, but couldn't help them with information about the Ancient Poké Balls either.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet with Lapras.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meeting with [[Lucius's Lapras]] and its "pirate crew"]]
Due to not getting the information they needed about the Ancient Poké Balls, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to continue their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Polteageist}} and {{p|Sinistea}} that decided to live on the Brave Olivine. In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers got information about a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} and they realized that it had to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, so they decided to investigate. After finding it, they failed to see it because of the {{m|Mist}} covering it and the younger members witnessed two Pokémon appearing on the ship. However, through Friede's plan, the Rising Volt Tacklers were able to see Lapras with scars and they found out that it used the mist to cover any ship that went nearby to give to its fellow Pokémon the chance to steal the food cargo on them. After preventing the group from stealing anything, the Rising Volt Tacklers followed Lapras and its group. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], however, they were stopped when Lapras used {{m|Ice Beam}} on the ship. Liko, Roy, and Friede decided to confront Lapras on their own. Terapagos attempted to reason with Lapras, even bringing out Arboliva and Moltres for help. Liko, Roy, and Friede were then shown another vision of Lucius. After spending time with Lapras and its friends, the Rising Volt Tacklers got ready to leave. However, Lapras decided to join them as its friends encouraged to go with them and it returned into its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos facing the Black Rayquaza]]
Before setting off, the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving to their location in ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]''''. However, after Amethio battled and got defeated by the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed Terapagos transforming and battling the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Unfortunately, Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left. Later, Diana told Friede that she was planning to travel alone again, which he understood and accepted her decision. The next day, Liko and Roy did a training battle with Diana, which led them to victory when Sprigatito landed a hit on Diana's {{p|Arcanine}}. After the battle, Liko and Roy thanked Diana for the experience, as it will help them be better Trainers. Upon hearing of Diana's departure in ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', Liko and Roy decided to do a surprise farewell party. Through the rest of the members help, Liko and Roy were able to surprise Diana, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log. After dropping Diana off, the Rising Volt Tacklers agree to continue their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, before doing so, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to return to Paldea for information on Terapagos.

[[HZ035|During their return journey to Paldea]], the Rising Volt Tacklers began to run out of funds needed to pay for supplies, so the adults decided to take some jobs in order to raise money. After Friede got a job request from a [[Shine|friend]] of his, he took the assignment with Liko and Roy accompanying him. They were able to fulfill the job and stop a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}}. In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', Friede got another job assignment from another friend of his who is the leader of a group of {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}, as they were having trouble with a group of {{p|Sandile}} and its {{p|Krokorok|evolved}} {{p|Krookodile|forms}}. Fortunately, Roy found out the problem but, to their disappointment, for this reason the Rising Volt Tacklers were no longer needed to do the job. In [[HZ038|the following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Maushold}} when it decided to come live on the Brave Olivine until it eventually decided to go with Mollie. In ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Dot was reunited with her mother, as she came to bring her home because her time with the team was a trial period, but let her stay as a permanent member of the team, after seeing her friendship with her Pokémon partners, Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}, Liko, and Roy, and having a battle against each other.
[[File:HZ045.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the first time]]
In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back in Paldea. Soon after their return, the [[HZ043|team]] [[HZ044|learned]] of the Explorers' plan to capture the Black Rayquaza and decided to investigate a mysterious tower they had built near Levincia. However, when Friede entered the tower, it turned out to actually be a trap set up by Spinel, locking Friede up inside while the rest of the Explorers admins started the capture operation at a lighthouse outside of Levincia. Liko, Roy, and Ludlow hurried to the site to stop them, with the rest of the team moving the Brave Olivine to the site as well to allow Dot to jump down to the lighthouse and use a shutdown program on the device the Explorers had used to summon Rayquaza. While Friede successfully escaped from Spinel's trap and Roy managed to stop [[Chalce]] from catching Rayquaza, things quickly took a turn for the worse when Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower started devastating the scenery and [[Coral]] made a reckless attack on Rayquaza in a rage by having her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, sending Rayquaza crashing straight into the Brave Olivine and severely damaging it. Fortunately, Murdock was able to safely land the Brave Olivine. After the Explorers retreated in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot and Friede battled Rayquaza. Despite having help from Amethio, the four of them couldn't defeat Rayquaza, and the Legendary Pokémon left once again. In the aftermath of the battle, Liko, Roy, and Dot decided to learn more about the Terastal phenomenon and be able to use it in battle. As such, they went to study at [[Naranja Academy]], while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers focused on repairing the Brave Olivine.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ074.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] battling [[Lucius's Kleavor]]]]
During their time doing repairs to the airship, the Rising Volt Tacklers took a group of wild {{p|Tatsugiri}} as new traveling companions. After the repairs on the Brave Olivine were finished and the younger members were done with their studies at Naranja Academy, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off to search for the Six Heroes once more in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. Their first destination was the land of [[Kitakami]], planning to meet up with the Terapagos researcher [[Briar]]. After arriving in Kitakami and [[HZ069|spending an evening]] at the local [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], the team learned from [[Carmine]] that Briar was currently at the [[Crystal Pool]] on [[Oni Mountain]]. Friede and the junior members of the team [[HZ070|subsequently]] [[HZ071|traveled]] there, meeting Briar and exchanging information about Terapagos with her. While both sides learned a lot, the Rising Volt Tacklers didn't gain any new leads, so they decided to focus on finding the remaining three members of the Six Heroes for now.

Through an unexpected stroke of luck, Dot discovered that a photographer named [[Perrin]] had seen {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in Kitakami. [[HZ072|Through]] [[HZ073|Perrin's help]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede found Kleavor. After some convincing from Lapras, having a battle with the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers and seeing Liko's selfness for Pokémon, Kleavor showed her, Roy, Dot, and Friede a vision of Lucius of the day they meet. Kleavor then decided to join the group and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ076.png|thumb|250px|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Diana]] summoning [[Rystal]] at the [[Crystal Pool]]]]
[[HZ074|The next day]], Liko and her friends reunite with Diana, as they exchanged information about the Explorers. After returning to the Crystal Pool and were able to summon [[Rystal]], a member of the original Explorers, Liko and the group found out that she and Lucius were her great-great grandparents. Liko and the group then [[HZ075|listened]] to Rystal telling everyone how she formed the Explorers with Lucius and [[Gibeon]] and they were able to reach Laqua. However, Liko and the group had to bid farewell to Rystal when she had to return to her proper time. Liko and the group then bid farewell to Diana, as she intended to continue traveling her own way. [[HZ076|Through Wy-Yes's help]], the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head to [[Olivine City]] in the [[Johto]] region in order to search for {{p|Entei}}. In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Johto. [[HZ078|After falling to find Entei in Johto]], the Rising Volt Tacklers head back to Paldea when Briar revealed that a Pokémon similar to Entei had been spotted in [[Area Zero]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|170px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the second time]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea. After Liko, Roy, and Dot defeated [[Geeta]], together with Friede, [[HZ080|they entered Area Zero]] and met up with Briar. [[HZ081|Upon finding the Pokémon similar to Entei]], they realized that it was a [[Paradox Pokémon]] named {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. The four Rising Volt Tacklers battled Gouging Fire when it wanted to test their strength. Through their teamwork, they defeated Gouging Fire, who showed them a vision of when it first met Lucius. Gouging Fire then decided to join the group and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, it and the rest of the Six Heroes come out to summon the Black Rayquaza, who arrived at the group's location. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede [[HZ082|battled]] the Black Rayquaza once again and, after a tough battle, they were able to return Rayquaza to its Ancient Poké Ball. Rayquaza then showed them a vision of the original Explorers reaching Laqua. The group then bid farewell to Briar and, following Rayquaza, [[HZ083|made their way to the paradise]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ088.png|170px|thumb|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Amethio]] battling [[Gibeon]] and his [[White Zygarde]]]]
In ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'', after stopping at [[Pericarp Town]] near Laqua, Friede and the younger members journeyed to the paradise, with the Six Heroes helping along the way. Upon entering Laqua in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'', Friede and the younger members explored until they came across the barrier, which Pagogo removed. However, in the [[HZ086|next episode]], Friede and the younger members were then confronted by the Explorers. Although they were able to defeat the Explorers admins in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Friede and the younger members were too late to prevent Gibeon from reaching the [[Laquium]]. Fortunately, Gibeon's [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] was only trying to free Lucius from the Laquium. Friede and the younger members met Lucius, as he explained to them that he was able to see the outside world through Zygarde. Due to Friede's partners going berserk from the Laquium and knocking each other out, the younger members with Amethio battled Gibeon. However, Zygarde [[HZ088|eventually]] forfeited the battle, because it had been testing their strength and resolve, as it bid its Trainer farewell and disassembled itself.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Spinel released his own supply of Laquium that he had gathered after Pagogo and the Six Heroes purified the land. This act caused the Six Heroes, barring Rayquaza, to go berserk and indiscriminately attack anything in their sight. Rayquaza shielded the Rising Volt Tacklers from its comrades' attacks and ordered them to escape, but as the Brave Olivine attempted to leave, a strong gust of wind caught Friede and his Pokémon off-guard. Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the ship. Afterwards, the group started flying around the area looking for Friede, but couldn't find him. Meanwhile, Spinel had the entire area around Laqua closed off, and later publicly framed the Rising Volt Tacklers for the destruction at Laqua, casting them as a dangerous group to the public eye. With their original task completed and being unable to function without Friede, the group made the decision to disband; Liko returned to [[Indigo Academy]], Roy going on a [[Episode: Mega Evolution|training journey]] in the [[Kalos]] region, and Dot returning to her home.
[[File:Re-formed Rising Volt Tacklers MV.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers re-formed by Roy, Dot, and Liko]]
A year after the events at Laqua, in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Dot and Roy discovered a case of Laquium affecting a wild {{p|Slaking}}, and after the boy and [[Ult]] defeated it, Roy decided to visit the Indigo Academy to ask for Liko's help in finding more signs of Laquium. After reuniting with her in the [[HZ091|following episode]], Roy explained the situation. At first, Liko refused to help him and Dot, as she was accustomed to being at Indigo Academy and didn't want everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler out of fear of bearing the group's tarnished reputation. However, after seeing Roy battling [[Ann]] and having a battle against him herself, Liko ultimately decided to join and assist in clearing the group's name while revealing the truth to the public.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Liko and Roy tracked down a Laquium sign that Dot found, and ended up battling a pair of Laquium affected {{p|Steelix}}, alongside Ult, who had been following Roy. In the process, Roy and Ult showcased [[Mega Evolution]], with Liko learning about it for the first time.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy reunited with Mollie, who had returned to the family Pokémon Center at [[Mochew City]]. Mollie disapproved of their decision to restart the team, but after working together to calm a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Vileplume}} down, ultimately respected their decision. The two offered her a spot back in the team, but she declined for the time being, as she knew that she needed to be at the Pokémon Center. Before they parted ways, she promised to them that she would return when the team was fully reunited.
[[File:Ult joins Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|[[Ult]] joining the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
[[HZ095|During an investigation at an Exceed testing facility]], Liko and Roy find out that they and the Explorers have made a Laquium power-up device called the [[Strong Sphere]]. Also, upon witnessing the effects the Strong Sphere had on Pokémon, Ult saved Liko and Roy after their Pokémon were defeated in a [[Double Battle]] by Coral and Sidian. He proceeded to join the two on their journey. In the [[HZ096|following episode]], after Liko and Roy reunited with the Black Rayquaza, which was under the protection of [[Team Dragon Rampage]], Dot called and informed the two that Murdock had returned to [[Cortondo]] to work with [[Katy]]. Dot then decided to meet up with the group in person at Cortondo in Paldea. [[HZ098|Upon arriving at Cortondo]], the three and Ult met with Murdock at Katy's pastry shop. Like Mollie, Murdock disapproved of their decision to restart the team, despite Liko's insistence that they knew what they were getting into. Katy suggested a Pokémon battle to alleviate Murdock's concerns, and in the official rematch, Liko defeated Katy. Impressed by her growth, Murdock ultimately respected their decision and informed them that the Brave Olivine had been dismantled, with its parts being stored in Galar. With this knowledge in hand, the group decided to look for Orla and left Cortondo. Murdock confessed to Katy that he wanted to travel with them despite the fact that he suggested that they disband after the events in Laqua, fearing that he would hold them back. Katy told Murdock that the others had already done so despite their circumstances, causing him to realize the meaning of her words.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult went to Galar to look for Orla, and it was revealed that Orla had lied about the ship's condition. Rather than dismantling it, she had kept it hidden in a forest, maintaining it from time to time, and the wild Pokémon (apart from Maushold) remained onboard. After Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult defeated two members of the Explorers in the [[HZ100|the following episode]], [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], Orla decided to join them in officially re-forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as the five worked together to clean and rebuild the Brave Olivine. Ludlow, Murdock, and Mollie returned to the team, with Ult deciding to become an official member of the group. Dot then discovered a message had been sent to their app a month prior. After decrypting it and showing it to everyone else, they found out that it was from Friede, who was revealed to be alive and well but in hiding from the Explorers.
[[File:Young Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult deciding to train at [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]]]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea through Dot's suggestion in going to Naranja Academy because everyone there knows the Explorers true nature. Although Dot is able to give Geeta and Clavell the information she had on Laquium and while they understand the situation, they aren't able to help them further without more evidence, but they recommended asking [[Jacq]] for help in their research, which he accepted. Dot also gets a map of Paldea from Penny that shows Laquium Signs around the region. After returning to the Brave Olivine in the [[HZ102|next episode]], the younger members decided to check out a Laquium Sign near their location. During their investigation, Dot reminds everyone that they need funds to travel around if they want to spread the truth about Laquium, as Roy remembers that most of their funds came from Friede and Captain Pikachu doing various jobs. Later, after Liko, her Pokémon and a {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, who decided to become one of her partners, stopped the Laquium Sign, Dot gets a video message from Iono asking for [[Nidothing and Iono Meetup|a handshake event]] as their next collaboration, which she reluctantly agreed to hold it as a means to earn some money in ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]''. Also, a wild {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} stowed away on the Brave Olivine until Dot decided to add it to her team in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''.

After Roy and Ult infiltrated an Explorers base in ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Diana came for a visit in the [[HZ108|next episode]] to give the Rising Volt Tacklers information on how to eliminate Laquium once and for all. Also, Diana tells the Rising Volt Tacklers that Spinel has the remaining Six Heroes held captive with Ult backing up her claim, as he saw Lapras and Kleavor trapped in boxes when he was in the Explorers base. Wanting to save the remaining Six Heroes from the Explorers, the Rising Volt Tacklers agreed to find which Exceed building they are being held in, as they realized that Spinel moved them in order to prevent them from finding them. Liko suggests they ask [[Cervantis]], the former Exceed director and Amethio's father, which they agreed. In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', however, Liko, Roy, and Ult walked into a trap the Explorers set up for them by faking an email sent by Cervantis. In the [[HZ110|following episode]], Liko, Roy, and Ult were forced to battle five of the Six Heroes when they used a new improved Strong Sphere called Super Strong Sphere on them to turn them against them. Despite their efforts and help from Amethio, Liko, Roy, and Ult's Pokémon are knocked out by five of the Six Heroes with Coral and Sidian's help. However, the effects of the Super Strong Sphere on five of the Six Heroes wears off and the Explorers left with them. Despite the loss, Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot [[HZ112|decided]] to do battle training at [[Blueberry Academy]] in the [[Unova]] region after getting a call from Briar. Also, Liko revealed to Roy and Dot that their friend Ann is at Blueberry Academy as an exchange student.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited with Friede]]
In ''[[HZ115|Welcome to Blueberry Academy!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Unova, as the older members dropped off the junior members at Blueberry Academy while they docked near a town for repairs and supplies.

In ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers, along with Penny and Carmine, attended a meeting with Briar whom explained that Diana's theory about Pagogo possibly needing to resonate with eighteen Pokémon Types was only half correct. Briar clarified that Pagogo needed to resonate with eighteen different Tera Types from Pokémon at the level of the Six Heroes in order to completely purify Laquium. After leaving Blueberry Academy and Dot with Penny obtained data on Laquium in the [[HZ120|next episode]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers got a message from Friede that he was coming back. Friede then revealed to his teammates that he was returning from space. In the [[HZ121|following episode]], when Friede ran into trouble returning to the planet, the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived to his rescue and were able to get him back onto the Brave Olivine safely. After [[HZ122|exchanging information]], Friede and Roy had a battle, which the latter won. Later, Friede decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region to give respect for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and go to the [[Devon Corporation]] to analyze the data on Laquium that he got from space. Friede decided to leave the Rising Volt Tacklers to Captain Pikachu and Roy, with the latter officially being recognized as the new leader.

In ''[[HZ124|Operation Infiltration!]]'', the younger members and Amethio staged a rescue mission for the reamning Six Heroes, as they were able to get into the Explorers HQ where they were being held in. However, the five end up walking into a trap set up by Spinel, as they face off a high ranking member of the Explorers and a Six Hero. Through their efforts, the five were able to save the remaining Six Heroes in [[HZ125|the next episode]] and let them roam the world so they would be safe from the Explorers. Although, the remaining heroes promise Zygarde to lend their strength at Laqua when the time comes. However, Spinel used the confrontation with the younger members to frame them again, making things worse for their reputation and forcing them to go into hiding from the public.
[[File:Roy and his friends.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers setting off on the Brave Olivine once again]]
In ''[[HZ126|Strong Bonds, Can't Lose!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea, but had to keep a low profile due to Spinel's lies. The younger members go back to Naranja Academy to stop them from selling Strong Spheres while the older members stay with the Brave Olivine in Levincia with Iono's help in keeping their airship hidden from the public. In the [[HZ127|next episode]], the younger members' friends Ann, Nemona, and Penny decided to help the Rising Volt Tacklers stop the Explorers' plans for good.

In ''[[HZ128|Dot and Quaxwell Step it Up!]]'', Liko, Roy and Ult decided to return to Johto to reunite with the Black Rayquaza while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers stay at Paldea. In the [[HZ129|following episode]], after arriving at the [[Dragon's Den]] and helping the Black Rayquaza recover, Roy and Ult battled the Legendary Pokémon as they gave everything they got to prove themselves to it. Eventually, Roy came on top and caught the Black Rayquaza with its approval. Roy then let Rayquaza roam the world so it could gather the remaining Six Heroes while he, Ult, and Liko returned to their teammates at Paldea.

In ''[[HZ130|Hamber's Moonlight Battle]]'', Liko, Roy, and Ult saw that Strong Sphere has been released to the public during their return journey to Paldea, while Dot saw it through a battle at Levincia. The younger members discussed the 18 Tera Types, having the Six Heroes represent {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Dragon}}; themselves, minus Ult, representing {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Steel}}; and Penny, Nemona, Ann, and Amethio representing {{t|Fairy}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Ghost}}. They realized that they had 17 Tera Types, missing {{t|Poison}}. Upon getting a plate of [[mochi]]s from Maushold, the younger members decided that Diana's {{p|Pecharunt}} would be perfect for the Poison Tera Type, [[HZ123|having encounter it before]]. Later, the Rising Volt Tacklers got a call from Friede, informing them that he was almost finished with his own investigation and would be joining back up with them soon, much to their excitement. In the [[HZ131|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers were joined by Wy-Yes and Perrin who decided to join them in stopping the Explorers, promising to reveal the truth to the public in order to clear their name. Meanwhile, after lending his Rotom Phone to [[Yanga]], Friede met [[Master Mayonnaise]], who decided to briefly join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their quest as well in order to further train Roy and Ult in Mega Evolution, having trained them before in Kalos. Once the Brave Olivine was finished being upgraded with Friede dubbing it to be its Rising Again mode, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies set off for Galar to ask Diana for help. [[HZ132|Upon arriving]], the Rising Volt Tacklers asked Diana for her help, which she accepted, and found out that Pecharunt's Tera Type is Poison through Pagogo, fulfilling the required Pokémon they need to erase Laquium. After spending some time training at Diana's place, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise, and the group heads off for Laqua.

In ''[[HZ133|The Final Battle Is Near]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies have arrived at Laqua as the group spilt up in order to prevent them from battling the Explorers so they can preserve their required Pokémon. Roy, Ult, and Friede took to the sky while the girls, except Mollie, Orla, and Perrin, who stayed on the Brave Olivine with Ludlow, Murdock, and Wy-Yes, and Captain Pikachu were dropped off and traveled on foot. However, they were ambushed by the Explorers, although Roy, Ult, and Friede managed to led Coral and Sidian away from the girls and Captain Pikachu. Dot, Nemona, and Penny stay behind to battle Indi and Rubina while Liko, Diana, Captain Pikachu, and Ann left. During the confrontation, Dot, Nemona, Penny, Roy, Ult, and Friede find out that the Explorers have figured out their plan in eliminating Laquium for good. Dot, Nemona, and Penny were able to defeat Indi and Rubina with [[Hamber]]'s help as the three of them left to meet back up with Liko's group while the latter stayed behind to battle a group of Explorers grunts. Meanwhile, Roy, Ult, and Friede do a Mega Evolution battle with Coral, Chalce, and Sidian, where they emerged victorious in [[HZ134|the following episode]].
[[File:Laquium threat over.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies see that the Laquium threat was over]]
Liko, Diana, Captain Pikachu, and Ann meet up with Amethio, Onia, and Zirc as they worked together to help the Laquium affected Pokémon when Spinel activated his upgraded Laquium-activating machines. After Captain Pikachu destroyed the machines and Pagogo purified the Laquium from the Pokémon with Zygarde, Onia, and Zirc taking them to safety, Liko, Ann, and Diana meet up with their friends. The Rising Volt Tacklers with their allies then encountered Spinel, Rubina, and Indi. Meanwhile, in Pericarp Town, Orla, Ludlow as Mighty G, Murdock, and Mollie helped the people and Pokémon there when Laquium came to their area while Wy-Yes and Perrin took photos of their heroics. Seeing their efforts, the townspeople, except [[Yuha]], a friend Liko, Roy, and Dot met the last time they were there, started to realize that the Rising Volt Tacklers aren't bad people. Simultaneously, the Black Rayquaza and the other Six Heroes arrived at Laqua as they, Liko, Roy, Dot, Ult, Friede and their allies got ready to get rid of Laquium for good.

In ''[[HZ135|The Core Awakens]]'', however, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies Pokémon got attacked by the Explorers, as they end up losing Penny's {{p|Sylveon}}, who represented the Fairy Tera type. Fortunately, Coral turned against Spinel and had her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, take Sylveon's place. Chalce and Sidian also turn against Spinel as they, with Coral, decided to team up with the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to stop him for good. During the process to remove Laquium, Spinel merged with its Core, casuing it to awaken. The Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies try to fight it, but it was too strong. However, they refused to give up and found out that the middle of the Laquium Core is the main target they need to hit. [[HZ136|Through Roy and Amethio's Mega Evolved Pokémon]] making an opening for them, Pagogo goes to erase the Laquium Core once and for all with the eighteen Tera Type Pokémon, separating Spinel from the Core in the process. After Liko battled Spinel and won, Pagogo successfully erased the Laquium Core for good and the Explorers, except Zirc and Onia, leave Laqua. Later, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies watch various Pokémon return to the paradise just as the rest of the groups on the Brave Olivine arrived. When Pagogo, the Six Heroes and Zygarde decided to stay at Laqua to rebuild it, the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies respect their wishes and bid them farewell, but promised to come back one day, as they leave the paradise on the Brave Olivine.

Through Wy-Yes and Perrin's articles on the team's actions and the help from people like [[Litten Smitten]] and [[Stunner Fisk]], whom [[HZ093|they]] [[HZ097|met]] during their journey to reveal the truth to the world, the Rising Volt Tacklers' name was cleared with the public and its members were declared heroes, free to fly into the sky without worry once more. Friede returned to work for Exceed and help in the Laquium research with Yanga, although he is still a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The Rising Volt Tacklers took some time to relax on the Brave Olivine afterwards, minus Ludlow, who temporarily left to focus on his superhero persona Mighty G. Through a visit from Friede in [[HZ137]], the younger members revived their interest in traveling around and going on adventures to purse their goals as they set off on the Brave Olivine once more. In [[HZ139]], the Rising Volt Tacklers take in a wild {{p|Ditto}} that [[HZ138|stowed away]] on the Brave Olivine.

After meeting up with Friede at [[Aeos Island]] in [[HZ141]], the Rising Volt Tacklers travel to Kalos in the [[HZ142|next episode]], where Roy and Ult reunite with [[Emma]], who took Ult in and Roy meet during his last visit, as they introduce Liko and Dot to her. They also meet [[Navi]] through Emma.

| desc = In [[HZ138]], a wild {{p|Ditto}} stowed away aboard the [[Brave Olivine]]. It spied on the Rising Volt Tacklers as they were about to depart with their airship, and then used Transform to change into [[Captain Pikachu]], tricking Roy and sneaking aboard. In the [[HZ139|next episode]], it officially became part of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

Ditto is shown to be playful, curious, and affable around other Pokemon. It is also emotionally aware as it saw {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} crying and posed as [[Liko]]'s wooden {{p|Squawkabilly}} statue while the Pokémon worked to get the real one back. In [[HZ140]], it is further shown that Ditto likes to transform into different things to make sad or troubled people happy, showing its compassion and empathy towards others.

In [[HZ142]], Ditto bonded with [[Navi]] after accidentally startling her and making her spill her coffee milk. Noticing that Ditto enjoyed the drink, Navi gave the rest to Ditto, which it became grateful for. As Navi rushed out and bumped into [[Murdock]], Ditto watched her drop her beloved [[Dream Ball]] in front of it. That night, it was revealed to have the Dream Ball in its possession, and knowing how important the Dream Ball was to Navi, it became determined to find her and return it.

Ditto's only known move is {{m|Transform}}.

==Trivia==
* The group's name is derived from the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}, the [[signature move]] of {{p|Pikachu}}'s evolutionary line. Specifically, it refers to [[Captain Pikachu]]'s special usage of the move, the '''Rising Volt Tackle''', which allows him to reach high altitudes and inspired [[Friede]] to create the group in the first place.
** The group's name in Japanese and English may also incorporate {{m|Rising Voltage}}, another {{type|Electric}} move.

==Blurb==


The Rising Volt Tacklers are unable to depart for Galar after the Brave Olivine’s computer system begins an automatic scan to check for errors. Friede suggests the crew makes the best of it—by having a picnic! They head outside to make sandwiches, but Liko feels bad that Dot and Ludlow have stayed behind. With Murdock’s help, she finds a way to include them in the fun. Meanwhile, a wild Wattrel steals Fuecoco’s sandwich, so Roy chases after it, but he notices something strange about the Pokémon and becomes concerned. When the Rising Volt Tacklers eventually return to the ship, Friede and Dot are both shocked—something is very wrong!

==Plot==
[[File:Liko and Roy.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Roy taking a selfie of the picnic]]
Aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] learn that their departure to the [[Galar]] [[region]] has been delayed by a system check, as the ship's tail fin is not responding in time. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] reassure the children that system checks like this are common and are made to ensure the ship flies safely. While waiting for the system to reboot, which is due to take about half a day, the team is going to spend time holding a [[picnic]] outside, while [[Ludlow]] stays behind to look after the ship.

The team moves outside, setting up their picnic table on a seaside cliff near the city of [[Levincia]]. [[Murdock]] fills the table with loads of food, but when Roy tries to take some, [[Orla]] and [[Mollie]] reveal that the food isn't to be eaten as it is; instead, they'll be using the food to make [[sandwich]]es, allowing everyone to make the kind of sandwiches they want. Liko has a hard time deciding what [[ingredient]]s she wants for her sandwich; Roy tries to make a massive sandwich, which ends up falling apart; and [[Friede]] fills his sandwich with nothing but meat. Looking at the people around her, Liko starts reminiscing how she and Roy wound up with them, feeling thankful for having met them. While {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} play with Roy's Ancient [[Poké Ball]], Roy takes a selfie of himself with Liko and their Pokémon and sends it to [[Dot]]. While Liko respects Dot's desire for privacy, she feels Dot and Ludlow are missing out by not being with them. As such, while Roy rushes after a {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} that steals Fuecoco's sandwich, she asks Murdock's help in giving Dot and Ludlow a chance to enjoy picnicking too.

Roy eventually catches up to Wattrel on a cliff, where it, instead of flying away, puts the sandwich down and challenges Roy and Fuecoco. After Fuecoco's {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} proves ineffective against it, Wattrel unleashes a piercing {{m|Uproar}}. Roy has Fuecoco counter Wattrel's attack with its singing, but as the clash of voices just starts driving away the nearby [[wild Pokémon]] and remains in a stalemate, Roy calls off the confrontation. Realizing that Wattrel is hungry, he agrees to give it half the sandwich. Fuecoco also agrees to this, but once Wattrel has eaten its half, it promptly steals the other half too and eats it as well. While heading back, Roy notices a flock of {{p|Wattrel}} flying away, while the Wattrel he faced isn't going with them.

Aboard the airship, Dot is trying to make a Nidothing video about picnics but fails to stay motivated, so she cuts off the shooting. Having never been on a picnic, she's having a hard time getting into the proper atmosphere. At that moment, she receives a message from Liko, saying they've prepared some sandwiches for her in the meeting room. Feeling hungry, Dot decides to head there, only to find just bread and ingredients, without a single prepared sandwich in sight. Ludlow also enters, having likewise been summoned for this indoor picnic by Liko. Dot is confused as to how just making sandwiches indoors could equate to a picnic, but Ludlow assures her that the setting is not what makes a picnic; it's about sharing experiences with others, and Liko wishes to share this happy experience with Dot. Dot smiles and blushes at not only Liko being kind to her again, but also that she considers Dot her friend.

Back at the picnic table, Liko and Murdock reunite with the rest of the team after setting up Dot's indoor picnic. Almost immediately, Liko receives a message from Dot and is shocked to see a photo of Nidothing enjoying sandwiches with Ludlow. The rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers, well aware of Dot's internet persona, understand that this is Dot's way of saying thank you. Liko, though, is feeling nervous at the idea of Nidothing being on the ship, but then she remembers the Nidothing costume she saw hanging from the airship [[HZ009|the other day]] and deduces that Dot must've used the costume to make her happy. Friede is surprised that Liko doesn't understand that Dot and Nidothing are the same person, but Murdock feels it's better to just wait until Dot tells the truth to her. Watching Nidothing's newest video about picnics, the two of them feel that both Dot and Liko have grown thanks to having their new friends. Roy returns to the site, so Friede tells everyone that they'll be heading back now. Along the way, Roy describes his encounter with Wattrel to Liko but then suddenly stops. Unable to stop thinking about Wattrel, he decides to go check on it again. Watching Roy leave, Friede muses to himself that Liko and Dot aren't the only ones who have grown.

In the group's absence, [[Spinel]] of the [[Explorers]] has arrived near the Brave Olivine and surrounded it with a small army of {{p|Magneton}}. When Friede enters the bridge, he's surprised to notice that the progress bar for the system reboot hasn't advanced at all in their absence. He calls Dot about this, but almost immediately, all the electronics aboard the airship go dark, making Dot fear the ship may never fly again.

* When the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are returning to the [[Brave Olivine]] after their picnic, the bottom strap of Roy's backpack is missing.
* In the {{pmin|Indonesia}}n airing, the title in the [[title card]] is misspelled as ''An Unexpeted Picnic!'' This error is only present in the Indonesian release, as the title on the international and Asian English releases is spelled correctly.

==Blurb==


With Arboliva’s forest ruined, Liko and friends set out to replant seeds and encourage new growth. Even Ludlow helps with his Quagsire, whose Rain Dance brings water to the dry land. After Arboliva restores the forest, Liko’s pendant glows and turns into the unfamiliar Pokémon from before. Liko, Roy, and the Pokémon then receive a fleeting message from a mysterious man, and Arboliva returns to its Ancient Poké Ball. Later, Friede and Liko’s mom discuss the situation, and Liko and Roy read about the Ancient Adventurer who traveled with six Pokémon. Liko’s grandma might know more, so it’s up to Liko to decide what’s next…

==Plot==
Looking at the burnt-down remains of [[Arboliva's Forest]] around them, [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] understand the dire situation the forest is in. [[Mollie]] explains that the {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} uses its nutrients to heal injured Pokémon, akin to a doctor, but with the forest being so badly damaged, there's only so much it can do, which will inevitably lead to more Pokémon ending up like the {{p|Wooper}} they [[HZ011|helped]]. Liko declares that they're going to replant the forest. As such, she and Mollie start gathering {{Berries}}, while Roy has {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} till the soil with {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} and he himself clears out rocks and burnt-down tree parts. The gathered Berries are planted, leaving water as the only missing thing. Unfortunately, [[Paldea]] doesn't experience much rain during this season, so they're going to need help.

Aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Dot]] is about to upload her latest video, when she notices problems with the connection. She relays this information to [[Friede]], [[Murdock]], and [[Orla]], explaining why they haven't been able to get in touch with the others. Friede departs with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and [[Captain Pikachu]] to see where the problem might lie. He soon identifies the culprit as a {{p|Magneton}} that's emitting electromagnetic waves that cause the disturbance. Once Pikachu has shocked it and driven it off, the phone reception is instantly restored, allowing Liko's phone call to reach Friede. She explains the situation to Friede, and he goes to gather help. Soon, Friede meets up with Liko, Roy, and Mollie, followed by Orla and [[Ludlow]]. Ludlow pulls out a [[Dive Ball]] and calls out his {{p|Quagsire}}, whose {{m|Rain Dance}} helps to dampen the dry soil. Once the [[rain]] has ended, Arboliva activates its {{a|Seed Sower}} [[Ability]] to make the planted Berries grow into new trees. The restored trees allow the Pokémon that had fled the fire to return, much to Liko and Roy's pleasure.

Suddenly, Liko's pendant starts to glow and transforms into {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}}. Arboliva reacts to the Pokémon's presence by creating a big ball of light and surrounding Liko and Roy with it. Inside the ball of light, Liko and Roy find themselves in the middle of a thick mist. A silhouetted figure speaks from amidst the mist, but can't finish his sentence before the mist lifts and the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s return to reality, the mysterious Pokémon transforming back into Liko's pendant in the process. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] barely have time to process this before Arboliva's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] starts glowing and it suddenly [[recall]]s itself into it. Taking this as a sign of Arboliva wanting to come with them, Friede asks Liko and Roy to look after the ball and has the team return to the airship. Unnoticed by the team, [[Spinel]] of the [[Explorers]] is spying on their every move.

At the [[Artazon]] library, Friede's attempts to find answers prove fruitless, but he's cheered up by the appearance of [[Lucca]], whom he's been trying to reach for a while now. Simultaneously, Liko shows Roy some picture books her father had given to Roy to read, and Roy is shocked to notice that one of the books is about the Ancient Adventurer [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]] has told him stories of. While Lucca identifies said Ancient Adventurer as a man named [[Lucius]] during her conversation with Friede, Liko and Roy read the story from the book: a hundred years ago, there was an adventurer who, accompanied by the [[Black Rayquaza]], befriended five strong Pokémon. Together, the adventurer and these six Pokémon traveled from [[region]] to region, until they found a place simply called "[[Laqua|paradise]]." The man, with his Pokémon friends, had gone on to settle down and live there, becoming forever known as the "Ancient Adventurer." Given the description of how one of the adventurer's partners had the ability to heal wounds, Roy deduces that it must mean Arboliva, which, in turn, means that the Ancient Poké Balls contain the adventurer's partners, and there are still four more of them out there, making him excited at the thought of finding them too.

With Friede and Lucca, Liko's mother is unable to provide any answers regarding the pendant, since it was a gift to Liko from [[Diana|Lucca's mother]], and advises them to talk to her for answers. The {{p|Squawkabilly}} accompanying her takes flight and starts repeating the words "[[Galar]]" and "[[Ancient castle|castle]]." Lucca decides not to go see Liko, wanting her daughter to decide her own future. Liko, meanwhile, calls [[Alex|her father]], who says the storybook is based on tales of Liko's grandmother, so he believes the story to be just fiction. Roy, however, remains convinced of the story's authenticity, given their encounters with the Black Rayquaza and Arboliva.

Later, the Rising Volt Tacklers gather in a meeting. After sharing what he learned, Friede leaves the decision up to Liko. Liko decides that she wants to go meet her grandmother, with Roy also eagerly agreeing to the idea in the hopes of finding out more about the Ancient Poké Balls and the Ancient Adventurer. Since she travels around the {{pkmn|world}}, though, Liko has no idea where she is right now. Friede, however, believes that Squawkabilly's words were a clue on her whereabouts, so, following a unanimous agreement, the Rising Volt Tacklers decide to head for Galar next. Unknowingly, the airship is being observed by a {{p|Beheeyem}} and the Magneton from earlier, both belonging to Spinel, who's been thoroughly studying the Rising Volt Tacklers and declares that Liko's pendant will soon not be hers anymore.

==Major events==

* [[Ludlow]] is revealed to own a {{p|Quagsire}}.
* The {{an|Terapagos|mysterious Pokémon}} briefly emerges from [[Liko]]'s pendant again.
* The {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} goes inside the second [[Ancient Poké Ball]] and is taken under the care of Liko.
* [[Friede]] meets [[Lucca]], Liko's mother.
* Liko and Roy learn more about the Ancient Adventurer, [[Lucius]].

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==


Liko and Roy are off to the forest where Brassius saw Arboliva—and after learning about a recent wildfire there, Mollie decides to join them. The group finds a burned wasteland, so Roy races ahead, only to find an Ancient Poké Ball on a giant tree. Meanwhile, Liko gets lost, so she heads toward the giant tree to meet up with Roy and Mollie. On the way, she finds an injured Paldean Wooper, but some other wild Pokémon see her as a threat and attack. At the giant tree, Liko finds Roy, and both Trainers end up in a desperate fight—against the tree itself! Could it be Arboliva?

==Plot==
[[Liko]] is standing outside of [[Dot]]'s room. She thinks about how Nidothing's theme music can often be heard from Dot's room, how Dot is always accompanied by a {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}, and how she saw a Nidothing costume hanging on the ship's balcony [[HZ009|the other day]]. Putting these clues together, she thinks she's figured out the truth and knocks on Dot's door. She lays out her evidence, and Dot is ready to confess her identity as Nidothing. However, her confession is cut off when Liko suddenly declares that Dot must be a Nidothing super fan. Dot is baffled that Liko still hasn't figured out the truth, making her feel too awkward to continue her confession. Elsewhere aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Mollie]] ends a phone call from her mother, who's been insisting she return home. Seeing an image of [[Arboliva's Forest|the forest]] that Liko and [[Roy]] are planning to visit the next day on her phone, she tells [[Orla]] that she'll be going with them.

The next day, [[Nemona]] leads Liko, Roy, and Mollie to the forest, which was largely burnt down by a recent wildfire, started by a lightning strike on dry vegetation. However, there is still some green left further ahead. Nemona leaves, telling Roy they'll {{pkmn|battle}} the next time they meet. The three make their way through the burnt landscape, until they reach the unharmed part of the forest. Roy decides to scout things ahead, being used to moving around forests and telling Liko and Mollie to meet up with him at a giant tree in the distance if they get lost and proceeds to run off, much to Liko's worry, but Mollie reassures her that since Roy has a [[Rotom Phone]] to contact them with, he'll be fine. Aboard the airship, [[Friede]], [[Murdock]], and Orla are having a discussion, with Friede wondering why [[Lucca]] hasn't contacted him yet.

In the forest, Liko is amazed at all the Pokémon she's seeing, having never wandered this deep into the woods before. Mollie calls her a pampered princess, flustering Liko, who tells her that it's just because she didn't have {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} with her yet and her parents were always busy. This prompts Mollie asks what they do for work. Liko reveals that [[Alex|her father]] makes picture books, while her mother is a schoolteacher. However, she doesn't take after either of them, having not yet figured out what to do with her life. Mollie reassures her that it's perfectly normal for someone of her age to not know what to do with their life yet and reveals that she too didn't know what to do with her life at her age, though unlike her, she had a life that was dictated for her; she comes from a long line of Pokémon doctors, and kept doing her work without thinking about it too much, but eventually decided to quit. Liko asks why she chose to do this, but Mollie simply says she'll tell her later. Remembering how Mollie [[HZ003|once]] refused to go to a [[Pokémon Center]], Liko figures it's because she didn't want to be reminded of her past life.

Sprigatito discovers an [[Oran Berry]] bush, and Mollie explains the Berry's healing properties, telling Liko to go gather some. Liko happily obliges and leaves to collect more, but once she intends to head back, she realizes she has no idea which way to go. Starting to panic, Liko tries to call Mollie, but discovers that there's no reception. Trying to stay calm, she decides to follow Roy's advice and head for the giant tree in the distance. At said tree, Roy decides to start scaling it with {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, and is shocked to notice another [[Ancient Poké Ball]] hanging near the top. As he climbs towards it, the tree suddenly starts shaking, which is also noticed by Liko on her way towards it. Not comfortable of just sitting around, especially with no phone reception, Mollie starts heading towards the tree too.

While walking through an area ravaged by the wildfire, Liko unexpectedly finds a {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, which is in a very weak condition. However, she doesn't get much chances at trying to help it when a group of {{t|Grass}} Pokémon attack her and take Wooper away. She follows them to the giant tree, where they still refuse to let her approach Wooper, not understanding she's trying to help it. Suddenly, Mollie enters the scene and has her {{TP|Mollie|Chansey}} grab Wooper so she can treat it, firmly stating to the Grass Pokémon that she's here to help. While treating Wooper, she reveals to Liko that the reason she stopped working at a Pokémon Center is because she couldn't help but think of all the injured [[wild Pokémon]] that never get taken to one. She couldn't bear that idea and had chosen to travel to help those unfortunate Pokémon rather than just stand by and wait.

The Grass types start calling out to the giant tree, causing it to start shaking again and reveal itself to actually be a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{an|Arboliva}}. It shakes Roy off itself and starts firing blasts of olive oil at him and Liko. They want to leave, but Mollie refuses to go while she's still helping Wooper. As such, Liko and Roy decided to battle Arboliva together, though Liko frantically tells Roy to not have Fuecoco use {{m|Ember}} to avoid risking another wildfire. While Sprigatito keeps Arboliva distracted with her {{m|Quick Attack}}, Roy has Fuecoco use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} to break the ground under Arboliva's feet. Liko has Sprigatito use {{m|Leafage}} around Arboliva's head, blinding and disorient it while Roy has Fuecoco use Stomping Tantrum again, causing Arboliva to fall down. However, their celebration is cut short when Arboliva starts getting back up. Fortunately, Wooper has regained enough strength now to walk up to Arboliva and convince it to stop attacking. Having understood Mollie was helping Wooper, Arboliva's anger subsides. No sooner has Wooper left with the Grass types, though, that Arboliva starts letting out a sad [[cry]] and unexpectedly lifts Liko and Roy up high, showing them the full extent of how devastated the forest really is.

==Blurb==


Arriving in Artazon, Liko and Roy search for clues about the black Rayquaza. They want to meet with Gym Leader Brassius, but first they encounter Nemona, a Champion-ranked Trainer with tons of enthusiasm. Brassius, on the other hand, is in a slump, so Nemona helps Liko and Roy gather Sunflora to cheer him up. It turns out Brassius feels inadequate as an artist after seeing the black Rayquaza in real life, but when Roy shares how the Rayquaza inspired him, Brassius cheers up and challenges Roy to a battle. Afterward, Brassius reveals he saw another mysterious Pokémon, too—an Arboliva. What could be its connection to the black Rayquaza?

==Plot==
[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] arrive at [[Artazon]], where they see lots of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. They spot two {{p|Sunflora}} by a Sunflora sculpture, made by [[Brassius]] himself. Brassius is in a dark room marveling at a giant {{p|Rayquaza}} sculpture draped in shadow. Roy asks an ice cream vendor about any signs of the [[Black Rayquaza]], but to no avail. Soon, Liko and Roy encounter [[Nemona]], who uses her {{p|Pawmo}} to defeat a {{p|Skiploom}} in {{pkmn|battle}}. Seeing Liko and Roy are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s too, Nemona challenges them to a battle, but they tell her that they are here to see Brassius.

Nemona takes Liko and Roy to Brassius's atelier, telling them that he is also Artazon's [[Gym Leader]]. Liko suddenly remembers Nemona's name and recognizes her as a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Trainer, nervously shaking her hand. Nemona mentions she has business with Brassius too, seeing how he's been absent from [[Gym]] battles for a while now. The group hears shattering nearby and they find Brassius smashing one of his sculptures. Brassius looking so on edge makes Liko anxious as she nervously introduces herself and tells him that she was told to come by her father, [[Alex]]. This thrills Brassius, whose unsettling brand of excitement scares Liko even more. Brassius invites Liko, Roy, and Nemona inside for tea as they notice his passion for art, as seen with all the sculptures of Grass-type Pokémon around his house. Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}} shoots its oils onto Pawmo. Dolliv is nervous until {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} uses her sweet scent to make it happy. The elated Dolliv shoots more oil at Pawmo. Roy, wanting to stay on topic about why they came here, tells Brassius about the Black Rayquaza, which doesn't thrill him one bit. Brassius heads downstairs and anxiously stands over a shattered black Rayquaza sculpture. Out of the corner of her eye, Liko notices a piece of the Black Rayquaza sculpture, realizing that Brassius is in a slump, something Alex has experienced as well. She resolves to do something that will make Brassius smile, and Roy proposes gathering Sunflora for him like the kids were doing for him earlier.

Arriving at Sunflora Lawn, Liko, Roy, and Nemona split up to look for Sunflora. Liko already finds two Sunflora as Brassius watches from afar. Liko heads to a field of grass and thinks she sees another Sunflora on a cliff, but it's just another sculpture. After seeing Sprigatito relaxing in the sun, Liko deduces that Sunflora likes places with lots of sunlight. Using this knowledge, Liko gathers up more Sunflora than Roy and Nemona combined by the time their search is over. Liko is confident that so many smiling Sunflora will cheer Brassius up. Dolliv shows up and shoots Brassius with its oil, blowing his cover. Brassius, seeing no other way around it, brings Liko, Roy, and Nemona back to his house, where he presents the giant Black Rayquaza with a tortured Sunflora sculpture he worked on. Brassius has been working on this piece to capture the intensity of the Rayquaza through a Sunflora's eyes, and then his whole world was turned upside down when he saw the real Black Rayquaza, which is why he has had a slump and lost interest in Gym battling. Liko feels bad seeing Brassius at such a low point. Just then, Roy, amazed by Brassius's life-sized sculpture of Rayquaza, wants to head to the forest where Brassius saw it.

Seeing Roy's resolve, Brassius proposes a battle with him, sending out his {{p|Sudowoodo}} to face [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. Liko tries to warn Roy about Sudowoodo's type, but Roy, thinking it's a Grass type, has Fuecoco use {{m|Ember}}. However, it does [[Type#Type effectiveness|little damage]] due to Sudowoodo being a {{t|Rock}} type. Brassius commands Sudowoodo to use {{m|Rock Throw}}, which hits Fuecoco hard. Sudowoodo uses Rock Throw again, which Fuecoco dodges before charging at Sudowoodo with {{m|Tackle}}. However, Sudowoodo uses {{m|Substitute}}, which outsmarts Fuecoco again and again. Sudowoodo follows up with {{m|Taunt}}, making Fuecoco mad and prompting him to use Ember instead of Tackle as Roy commands. Brassius tells Roy that his focus should be on his own Pokémon instead of finding the real Sudowoodo. In his rage, Fuecoco stomps the ground and cracks it underneath his feet. Fuecoco has learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, which gets rid of another substitute. Fuecoco follows up with the same move, scoring a supereffective hit on the real Sudowoodo. Brassius {{Tera}}stallizes Sudowoodo into a Grass type, calling this piece "From Fiction Comes Truth". Roy has Fuecoco use Ember, but Sudowoodo avoids it and hits Fuecoco with {{m|Trailblaze}}, [[Fainting|knocking him out]].

After the battle, Nemona explains how Tera Types work for different Pokémon. Brassius congratulates Roy on a great battle before sharing another sculpture at his house, "{{p|Arboliva}} of the Woods". [[Arboliva's Forest]] is where he saw the Black Rayquaza, and then Arboliva resonated with the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko notices something about this sculpture before she and Roy return to the [[Brave Olivine]] and share what they found. Liko tells Roy that the sculpture Brassius showed them gave off a sad vibe. Meanwhile, in a dark forest, a shadowy {{an|Arboliva}} walks through.

==Blurb==


The Brave Olivine arrives in Paldea, and Roy is eager to track down the black Rayquaza. But Liko is apprehensive upon realizing that her time with the Rising Volt Tacklers is coming to an end. Friede and Roy accompany her home, where her dad, Alex, is working on a painting. After Alex’s Fidough warmly greets Liko and Fuecoco, Sprigatito puts distance between itself and Liko. As Liko searches for it, she overhears a conversation between Friede and Alex that gives her a new perspective. Wanting to continue her journey, she decides to work up the courage to tell her dad.

==Plot==
The [[Brave Olivine]] arrives at [[Liko]]'s home [[region]], [[Paldea]]. As they prepare for landing, [[Dot]] notices that her Nidothing suit smells bad. Liko thinks being back in Paldea is nostalgic even though she hasn't been gone for that long. She also realizes this will be her first time in her home region with {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. [[Mollie]] and [[Orla]] make plans to go shopping for food while [[Friede]] offers to take Liko home. They admit how much they are going to miss Liko before coming to terms with the fact that their job would lead to this.

Liko and Friede walk outside, with the former believing her journey is over. Liko briefly sees Dot through the window as [[Roy]] tags along as well, wanting to see Paldea for the first time. The group visits [[Mesagoza]], where Roy encounters a {{p|Cyclizar}} rider. They also check out various stores. Friede tries to call [[Lucca|Liko's mother]], but she doesn't answer, so the group decides to head over to Liko's house to see her father, [[Alex]]. Meanwhile, Dot hangs her Nidothing costume out in the sun for a while before [[Ludlow]] tells her that hearing someone knock but not answering is no different from being out of the house, just like caring but not saying anything is no different from not caring. Liko, Roy, and Friede arrive at Liko's house, where {{p|Fidough}} greets Liko and the others. Alex is there to greet them too. Once inside, Alex learns that Liko is a Rising Volt Tackler from Roy, before Friede, wanting to change the subject, quickly points out Alex's portraits of an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}. Alex says that he is a painter and draws picture books too. Liko asks where her mother is, and Alex says she's busy and won't be coming home today. Liko decides to head up to her room, with an unamused Sprigatito heading outside.

While heading to her room, Liko notices that Sprigatito is not with her. She looks out her window before seeing Sprigatito's shadow on the roof. Alex has a discussion with Friede about Liko, who happens to come by their window to hear it. Alex tells Friede how much he worries about Liko, and was thinking about letting her commute to school from Paldea. Liko accidentally hits her nose on the open window, causing Friede and Alex to notice. Liko enters through the window, having heard what they said but still looking for Sprigatito. Liko follows Sprigatito's scent and finds her on top of one of the shelves. Liko wants to head back to the ship for tonight, trying to get Sprigatito to come with her, but the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} refuses, so she offers to let Sprigatito stay at her house for the night.
[[File:Fidough and Sprigatito.png|thumb|left|250px|Sprigatito and Fidough playing with Liko's pillow]]
At sunset, Liko, Roy, and Friede head back to the Brave Olivine, with Liko feeling a bit worn out from that day. When they return, "I'm home" instinctively slips out of Liko's mouth. Meanwhile, Alex is having trouble with his painting before getting an idea when he sees Fidough and Sprigatito huddled up next to one of Liko's pillows.

Morning arrives, and Liko could hardly sleep over how conflicted she's been feeling. Liko exits her room to find a drawing of her hugging Sprigatito on a happy Brave Olivine. Liko goes to Mollie and Orla, having smelled the coffee they got from one of the stores yesterday. Liko remarks that it smells like the coffee her father always drinks. Liko admits that she never knew how worried Alex was about her going off on her own. Orla wants to let Liko decide what she wants to do. Roy tells Liko that Sprigatito was feeling jealous of Fidough for how much attention it was getting from Liko, something she was too clouded in her own thoughts to realize. Liko heads to Dot's door to thank her for the drawing before asking a favor from Orla and Mollie. As Liko heads outside, she briefly notices what looks to be the Nidothing costume hanging at the top of the ship before quickly refocusing on what's important.

Alex notices that Sprigatito is not sleeping with Fidough, but she is outside waiting for Liko to come back. Liko goes to the shop Mollie and Orla went to, getting the coffee her father likes and Matcha Cake. As Liko walks to her house with the food, she crosses paths with a {{p|Lechonk}}, who steals the food she got for Alex. Sensing its trainer in a situation, Sprigatito goes off to find Liko just as Friede arrives to see if she arrived yet. Liko is running after the Lechonk who stole her food. The Lechonk turns around to run towards Liko, who jumps around it each time. Eventually, Lechonk's fast movements make Liko lose her balance and fall down. Luckily, Sprigatito arrives to help, using {{m|Quick Attack}} on Liko's command at the right moment to drive the Lechonk off, and Liko and Sprigatito happily embrace each other afterward.

Friede tells Alex about how Liko's always surprising him with each new challenge she's faced ever since meeting the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Alex knows he didn't really want to admit how fast his daughter was growing up. Liko walks through the door, dirtied up from having fallen down while trying to catch the Lechonk from before. She tells Alex that she has finally decided what she wants to do. Meeting Sprigatito, Friede, Roy, and all her new friends made her realize what [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s words meant. Liko gains the confidence to ask her father's permission to keep traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers. Alex sees how much of her grandmother's thirst for adventure Liko has developed, asking Sprigatito to keep her safe. Later, Liko, Alex, and Friede hang out at the coffee table with the coffee Liko got Alex. Liko notices picture books, and Alex asks her to give them to Roy before stating that [[Brassius]], who is in [[Artazon]], has seen a rare Pokémon, which could be the [[Black Rayquaza]]. With this info, Liko and Friede decide to go to Artazon, but not before Liko notices a painting that Alex has been working on last night. Friede and Liko depart, and the painting is revealed to be Sprigatito and Fidough sleeping together.

==Blurb==


After finishing a meal cooked by Murdock, Liko notes that Dot never eats with the group. Murdock says he just needs to make something tasty enough, but he seems to be hiding something when Mollie mentions they’re running low on certain ingredients. Friede proposes a shopping trip, and Liko stays behind to watch the ship. She delivers lunch to Dot and tries to chat about Nidothing, who’s about to start a livestream, but Dot hurriedly brushes her off. Later, Liko and Roy meet up outside Dot’s room, and although Dot is annoyed, she starts to open up a bit. Meanwhile, Murdock has a new recipe to try…

==Plot==
In the middle of the night, [[Roy]] and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} wake up and stumble upon [[Friede]] and [[Murdock]] in the kitchen. Murdock is about open a secret cupboard when Friede senses someone coming. Seeing Roy outside the door, Friede sends him back to bed and tells Murdock that the coast is clear. Murdock checks a plate of donuts, but sadly, they are uneaten, so Murdock and Friede have them instead. Friede tells Murdock not to throw in the towel, with {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} listening in on their conversation.

The next morning, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have breakfast. They notice [[Dot]]'s empty chair, and Friede points out that she's never been interested in eating with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers, her diet usually consisting of nutrient-rich gummies. Nevertheless, Murdock plans to make something tasty enough for Dot to like. [[Mollie]] notices that there have been food shortages lately, particularly sugar, [[Moomoo Milk]], butter, and dried fruit, leading the girls to believe that someone's been making sweets behind everyone's backs. They immediately suspect Murdock, and when Friede tells them that blaming won't solve anything, they start to grow suspicious of him too. Friede and Murdock nervously agree to go to a town to refill their supplies, even at the cost of delaying their journey.

While waiting for the [[Brave Olivine]] to reach the town, [[Liko]] attends an online class. She exchanges a few words with [[Ann]] before the lesson begins, with both of them being excited at the upcoming Nidothing livestream, the first one in its kind in a while. [[Roy]], meanwhile, attends his own online class at the wing deck. Once the class is over, Friede approaches him as he tries to look up in the sky to see if he can spot [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. Friede tells him to look higher, and then laughs when Roy falls over trying to do so, telling him that Rayquaza lives high up in the stratosphere, higher than even the highest of clouds. He tells Roy that they aim to reach unexplored places like that, only to see that Roy has gone to see the approaching land. They dock at the town, and Friede proposes rock-papers-scissors, to decide whoever has to watch the ship. Roy's competitive spirit directed at Liko makes her a bit nervous. However, everyone throws paper except Roy, who throws rock, making him the one to stay behind with the ship. As the rest go to get food from the town, Roy asks Liko to cover for him. Liko happily accepts Roy's offer, thinking now she'll have time to watch Nidothing's livestream. Roy follows the Rising Volt Tacklers into town, amazed by the new people and Pokémon he's seeing for the first time. Mollie tells everyone to buy only the essentials, since their budget is too tight for impulse purchases, while Roy plans to ask people around if they've seen Rayquaza.

Liko starts doing her chores around the Brave Olivine; feeding the Pokémon, hanging the laundry out to dry, feeding the trash to {{p|Muk}}, and scrubbing the deck. Afterwards, she tries to get a peek in the secret cupboard she heard about from Roy before he left. When she opens it, though, she just gets a faceful of cream from {{TP|Murdock|Alcremie}}. Upset by this experience, Liko wipes herself off just as Murdock calls in, causing her panic and frantically apologize. Murdock is confused for a moment before telling Liko that there are lunchboxes on the ship to eat in case she gets hungry. Liko thanks him before hanging up, thinking she's not cut out for secrets and sneaking around. Liko and [[Ludlow]] get their lunchboxes, and Liko notices a third one for Dot, which she decides to bring to her.

Arriving at Dot's door, Liko knocks on it, but gets no answer. She is about to walk away when she hears the Nidothing theme coming from Dot's room again. Thinking she must be another fan of Nidothing just like her, Liko speaks to Dot again. However, when Liko is about to invite Dot to Nidothing's livestream, she becomes startled and confused when she hears Dot shouting about something all of a sudden. As Dot catches herself, realizing that Liko could hear her behind the door, the latter is led to think Dot is trying to test her. As such, Liko opens up to a nervous and embarrassed Dot about how much she admires Nidothing, how knowledgeable she is about Pokémon, and how fun it is to watch her. Liko tries her best to relate to Dot, but Dot suddenly panics about the time. Hearing this, Liko realizes she's going to be late for the livestream. An overwhelmed Dot abruptly blames Liko, telling her to go away. Liko wonders why Dot never wanted to be with the other Rising Volt Tacklers, and Dot claims that she doesn't have the time since she's busy. Liko respects Dot's schedule, apologizing for bothering her and leaving her lunch by her door. As Liko walks off, Quaxly frowns at Dot as she tries to stay focused. She pulls back the hair covering her purple eyes and puts on the Nidothing suit.

In town, a vendor using a cloth to shine his {{p|Spoink}}'s pearl, claiming it can make anything shine. Friede wants to avoid impulse buying like Mollie said, but Roy asks the man about Rayquaza. The salesman tries to tempt Roy into buying the cloth first, and when Friede tries to pull him away, the vendor mentions that [[Amethio|a young man]] with [[Zirc|two]] [[Onia|accomplices]] also asked about a {{Shiny|black}} Rayquaza recently. Realizing they could be the [[Explorers]], Friede caves in and buys the cloth in exchange for more information. Meanwhile, Liko gets ready for the livestream, which starts slightly late of the scheduled time. Nidothing starts reading comments left by her fans, eventually reading Liko's comment asking advice on making friends, much to the latter's shock. Overwhelmed by Nidothing actually reading her comment, Liko lets out a loud embarrassed scream that rings out throughout the ship, shocking Nidothing. Recomposing herself, Nidothing says that making friends is like a [[Pokémon battle]], where one can change the environment and try out different things to succeed, inspiring Liko to make further attempts at befriending Dot.

Meanwhile, Roy and Fuecoco encounter a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}}. Putting his [[HZ007|previous]] {{pkmn|training}} into use, Roy has Fuecoco dodge Spearow's {{m|Peck}} at the right time and defeat it with {{m|Ember}}. With the battle won, Friede and Roy head back to the ship. At sunset, Roy tries to thank Dot for the helpful advice about Rayquaza, Liko having told him that Dot spoke to her earlier. After Roy tells Liko about the wild Spearow he battled, he suggests that they have a battle. Liko initially thinks Roy wants to battle in front of Dot's door before he disagrees. However, after remembering Nidothing's advice about her comment, Liko decides to battle where they are after all, prompting Dot shout at her like she did earlier. Roy, excited to hear Dot's voice for the first time, tells Dot about the cloth and the wild Spearow, but she is not interested in it. Liko asks what Dot is interested in, and the latter says that she is into "an [[ancient Poké Ball]] housing a black Rayquaza"; in other words, mystical things no one has seen before. Noticing Roy's ancient Poké Ball as well as her own pendant, Liko remarks to Dot that they might be closer than she thinks as she and Roy share a laugh. When Liko tells Roy about Alcremie attacking her with cream, Roy gets excited and rushes towards the kitchen to get some too. Liko thanks Dot before walking off. Though she still considers the others on the ship annoying, Liko's kindness still left its mark on Dot as she reads a message from Murdock about a new recipe book he's acquired. At night, Murdock is ecstatic to find out that Dot has finally eaten the donuts he left in the cupboard.

The next morning, Friede and [[Captain Pikachu]] are woken up by the rays of the morning sun as Pikachu notices something in the horizon. Taking out his telescope, Friede smiles when he realizes that they're about to arrive in [[Paldea]].

This description matches [[Zirc]], whose Rhydon knows Rock Blast and was defeated by [[Roy's Fuecoco]]'s Ember [[HZ005|three episodes earlier]].
* Despite the Nidothing theme being changed in the [[dub]] along with the majority of the music in {{aniseries|HZ}}, Liko can be heard humming parts of the original Nidothing theme while cleaning the Brave Olivine in both the Japanese version and the English dub.

===Errors===
*During the scene where Liko notices that Nidothing's stream is late, her leg line is not properly drawn.
*Due to an error in Netflix's {{pmin|Turkey|Turkish}} dub, [[Mollie]] speaks German instead of Turkish throughout the episode, starting from the moment she tells the crew that she sent the shopping list to everyone's [[Rotom Phone]]s.

==Blurb==


Liko, Sprigatito, Roy, and Fuecoco become official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, but Liko laments that she put everyone in danger because of her pendant. She wants to become stronger so that she can stand tall against her foes. Eager to learn, Liko and Roy ask Friede to train them—but they don’t know the first thing about Pokémon battles! Liko and Sprigatito, together with Roy and Fuecoco, face Friede and Captain Pikachu. Slowly but surely, Liko seems to pick up on what Friede and Cap are teaching them, and her newfound skills are put to the test when Friede asks Liko and Roy to battle each other! Will these two manage to uncover what it takes to become true Pokémon Trainers?

==Plot==
The real identity of [[Nidothing]] prepares to record a new video, getting into the required mindset and putting on the Nidothing costume. As the [[Brave Olivine]] continues its journey towards [[Paldea]] and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] go about their daily business, [[Roy]] and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} suddenly make a loud entrance to the observation deck, startling [[Liko]]. He challenges her to a {{pkmn|battle}} since both of them are now [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, which Liko happily accepts. However, the battle between {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and Fuecoco ends up consisting of them just using {{m|Leafage}} and {{m|Ember}} to counter each other's [[Move|attacks]] over and over, until they both become too tired to continue. They are summoned to the meeting room by [[Friede]], who has installed the Rising Volt Tacklers app to each of their [[Rotom Phone]]s and also installed a [[Pokédex]] to Roy's phone, much to his excitement. This app verifies their team membership and works as a message group between its members, though Roy is too excited by his new Pokédex to pay much attention to Friede's explanation. He hopes to one day be able to register the [[Black Rayquaza]] in his Pokédex, though he still has no idea where to even start looking for it. Friede suggests they ask help from [[Dot]], [[Murdock]]'s niece and the final member of their team. She's around Liko and Roy's age and was even the one who developed the app they're using but is also reclusive and rarely seen. Since she's responsible for gathering information for the team, she could be able to help them.
[[File:Quaxly Slapping Roy Hand.png|thumb|250px|left|Quaxly not letting Roy touch it]]
Making their way towards Dot's room, Liko and Roy hear the Nidothing theme music coming from inside the room, figuring she must be watching one of their videos. Roy knocks on the door and asks for advice in finding Rayquaza, but instead of a response, {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} jumps out of a hatch on the door. Roy takes the chance to try out his Pokédex by scanning Quaxly, before noticing a note attached to the {{pkmn|category|Duckling Pokémon}}'s chest. Opening it, he finds a drawing of himself and Fuecoco after losing in a battle. While they see this gesture as somewhat rude, Liko understands it, given that they're still new on the ship. Moreover, the note also gives her an idea, so she and Roy go to ask Friede's help in {{pkmn|training}} them; Roy knows he needs to be stronger if he hopes to one day {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} Rayquaza, while Liko wants to be able to protect those she cares about if the [[Explorers]] show up again to steal her pendant. Friede agrees to this, and the team gathers on the wing deck. At first, it seems like Friede will be using his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} for the training match, but with the bright flash of a bolt from the blue, [[Captain Pikachu]] enters the field, having chosen to act as Liko and Roy's opponent.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito angry.png|thumb|250px|Sprigatito getting upset]]
Friede declares that Liko and Roy win if they manage to land a single hit on Cap. Roy thinks this sounds easy, but despite Sprigatito and Fuecoco launching as many attacks as they can, Cap only needs to slightly lean from side to side to avoid every last one of them. Liko suggests a combo attack, with Sprigatito blinding Cap with Leafage while Fuecoco charges in with {{m|Tackle}}. However, Pikachu avoids this attack just as easily as the previous ones, using {{m|Double Team}} to create multiple fake copies of himself. Soon, though, Liko figures out the pattern behind Cap's Double Team, seeing that he's moving backward in a zigzag pattern. With this knowledge, Sprigatito and Fuecoco take out the copies one by one, until only the real one is left. Sprigatito tries to use {{m|Scratch}}, but Cap dodges again by jumping into the air. Liko and Roy prepare to strike again when he comes down, but to their surprise, as soon as Cap comes back down, their Pokémon fall asleep from exhaustion, meaning that the battle has ended.

With the battle over, Murdock offers everyone lunch. Liko observes how everyone has a favorite flavor; for example, Sprigatito likes bitter food, while both Roy and Fuecoco like spicy food. After they've finished eating, Friede tells Liko and Roy to battle against each other and remember what they learned during the battle with Cap. Liko patiently waits for Fuecoco to make a move, but when none comes, she decides to make the first move instead, ordering a Scratch. Fuecoco dodges it and counters with Tackle, which Sprigatito, in turn, also dodges. Liko and Roy realize that this battling style is different from before: instead of blindly ordering moves without even looking at their opponent, they're now making moves in reaction to the moves their opponent is making, a lesson that they subconsciously picked up from their battle with Cap. Both Pokémon exchange several more moves before Roy aims for a finishing hit with Ember. Liko tells Sprigatito to run past him, but to her surprise, Sprigatito starts running blindingly fast, avoiding the {{type|Fire}} move and slamming into Fuecoco, [[Fainting|knocking him out]] and making Liko the winner. Friede identifies the new move as {{m|Quick Attack}}, and both Liko and Roy thank him and Cap for helping them. Roy also shares a fist bump with Liko, promising to win the next time they battle.

Just then, Roy receives a message, which turns out to be from Dot, so he and Liko go to her door once more. When they knock, Quaxly once again comes out carrying a note. This time, the note features a drawing of Rayquaza and what Liko recognizes as Paldea, meaning that Rayquaza is currently there. Roy excitedly thanks Dot and runs off, with Liko thanking her as well and hoping she'll learn to know her better. As Liko walks away from Dot's room, Nidothing's costume is shown on Dot's bed.

==Blurb==


Amethio almost grabs Liko, but her pendant again surrounds her with a barrier—and strangely, Roy’s Ancient Poké Ball glows in sync. The three begin to battle, but Amethio has the upper hand, so Liko pleads for help. Suddenly, the pendant and Ancient Poké Ball light up, and a black Rayquaza emerges from the Ancient Poké Ball. It causes the Explorers to flee and then flies away. Later, Roy’s grandfather explains that the Pokémon is mentioned in a legend involving an Ancient Adventurer, and Roy decides to officially become a Pokémon Trainer with Fuecoco. But when it’s time for the Rising Volt Tacklers to leave, will he join them?

==Plot==
Continuing from the end of the [[HZ005|last episode]], [[Amethio]]'s attempt to have his {{p|Corviknight}} seize [[Liko]] with its talons is thwarted when Liko’s pendant forms a protective barrier around her, stopping Corviknight in its tracks. To further add to the confusion, [[Roy]]'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] also starts glowing. The barrier lowers itself, and while [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] try to hold [[Friede]] and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} back, Amethio confronts Liko and Roy, telling Liko that she and her pendant have to go with him. However, Roy yells at Amethio that he will never have Liko or her pendant, so Amethio challenges the pair to a {{pkmn|battle}}, using his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} against {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{p|Fuecoco}}. Despite them managing to land a hit with their teamwork, the two [[first partner Pokémon]] are quickly overwhelmed. Ceruledge prepares to finish them, with Liko pleading for help. Suddenly, her pendant and Roy's Poké Ball start glowing again, catching everyone's attention. The Poké Ball suddenly clicks open, releasing a beam of light into the sky that clears away all the clouds and materializes into a [[Black Rayquaza]]. Roy is astonished to learn that the ball wasn't just not empty, like he had assumed, but was even containing a black Rayquaza all along. Rayquaza uses {{m|Draco Meteor}}, raining devastation all over the beach. With this overwhelming force now in the middle of everything, Amethio orders the [[Explorers]] to retreat. Roy's pleas for Rayquaza to return to its ball are ignored, and the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} eventually flies away after glancing at Liko, much to everyone's relief.

Later, while [[Ludlow]] discovers the tracker the Explorers had [[HZ003|planted]] on the [[Brave Olivine]] and has {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} destroy it, Liko, Roy, and Friede talk about the Black Rayquaza and the Poké Ball with [[Roy's grandfather]]. He's unable to tell them anything useful, however, as he had simply found the ball on the beach when he was younger and later given it to Roy, not having an idea that it actually had a Pokémon inside it, much less the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Rayquaza that's said to have obeyed the legendary [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]]. He had assumed the whole thing was just a fairy tale, but now, he has reliable evidence right in front of his eyes, much to Roy's pleasure. Liko remembers how her pendant and the Poké Ball glowed at the same time, but Roy's grandfather doesn't recognize it at all. Friede is excited by this mystery and decides to investigate it, while Roy wonders where Rayquaza could've gone to. Receiving a call from [[Mollie]], the three learn that she's finished treating Sprigatito and Fuecoco, so they rush back towards the beach, with Roy's grandfather looking after them. Aboard the Brave Olivine, Friede's Charizard gives Fuecoco an empty {{i|Poké Ball}}.

[[File:Roy choosing Fuecoco.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy after catching Fuecoco]]
Arriving at the beach, Roy shouts out that he wants to spend more time with Fuecoco, not wanting to say goodbye to someone who gets his heart racing this way. Sprigatito and Fuecoco come out of the airship, with Fuecoco spitting out the Poké Ball that Charizard had given to it, signifying that it wants Roy to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} it. With Friede's approval, Roy makes the Poké Ball throw for which he's been practicing and officially makes {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first partner]]. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] prepare to resume their journey to [[Paldea]], with Liko extending an invitation to Roy to come with them. Roy is uncertain, given that his grandfather has rebuked his desires to travel before, but Liko assures him that things are different now that he's a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and has a Pokémon by his side. This assurance gives Roy the confidence to talk with his grandfather, who unexpectedly appears next to them. Roy pleads for a permission to join the Rising Volt Tacklers, wanting to realize both his own dream of following in the Ancient Adventurer's footsteps by finding and catching Rayquaza, as well as Fuecoco's dream of becoming as strong and cool as the Charizard it admires so much. His grandfather approves his decision on the grounds of him now wanting to fulfill his partner's dream in addition to his own, and hands him his [[bag]], already filled with everything he might need for his adventure. Taking his bag, Roy promises to be riding on Rayquaza when he comes back and let his grandfather ride it as well.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito and Roy Fuecoco.png|thumb|250px|Liko's Sprigatito and Roy's Fuecoco watching the sunset]]
In the Explorers' base, Amethio has just finished giving a mission report to the team's leader, [[Gibeon]]. Another team member, [[Spinel]], mocks Amethio of his failure and acts disbelievingly towards his claims of a Rayquaza having disrupted the attempt at capturing Liko's pendant. Due to his failure, Amethio is relieved from the mission, with Gibeon assigning Spinel to take it over in his place. Storming out of the hall, Amethio tells Zirc and Onia that he's now going to focus on pursuing Rayquaza instead, believing its resonance with the pendant to hold the key to the mystery behind it.

As the Rising Volt Tacklers prepare to set off, Roy gives Friede the flag he found [[HZ003|earlier]]. Friede is happy to get their ship's flag back and realizes that it ended up being the factor that brought Roy and Fuecoco together. Hearing Friede's words, Roy realizes that the treasure the storm brought to him was actually Fuecoco. Friede tells Roy to put the flag back in its place, which he does before the Brave Olivine takes off. On the flying ship's deck, Liko and Roy notice the residents of [[Roy's hometown]] on the beach below, having come to see him off. Even his grandfather is amongst the crowd, wishing his grandson good luck. The two wave the crowd goodbye and turn to look at the setting sun, preparing to start their adventure together.

** {{t|Water}} is the only [[type]] that has not had a concurrent first partner Pokémon be caught by a main character outside its native region.
** At least one Pokémon from every generation up to [[Generation IX]] has been owned by a male main character.
* Liko's Sprigatito first activates her {{a|Overgrow}} [[Ability]] in this this episode; however, it wouldn't be explicitly confirmed until ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]''.
* The commercial break occurred around the first quarter of the episode, instead of the halfway point as usual.
* While the English [[dub]]'s title shown on-screen during the episode lacks an exclamation point, it is included in the BBC listings.

===Errors===
* During the scene where Roy joins the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], the heel of [[Mollie]]'s left shoe is not drawn properly.

Từ bỏ tất cả luôn ngai vàng, bước ra và đi
Lời thề tận sâu đáy lòng
Mọi người tất cả bên nhau
Cùng nghe tiếng ca

Ta đang tồn tại vì ta vẫn
Tiếp tục tiến lên

==Blurb==


Wanting to see Fuecoco, Roy sneaks aboard the Brave Olivine—but the Rising Volt Tacklers confront him! They let him stay, but he and Liko aren’t able to find Fuecoco. The next day, the airship must once again land for repairs, so Roy suggests asking his gramps for help. Meanwhile, Fuecoco rushes onto the island in search of Roy, but then it sees the Explorers closing in! It finds Roy, and everyone returns to the Brave Olivine to battle the Explorers as the island’s wild Pokémon make repairs. When it’s Roy and Fuecoco’s turn to fight, Fuecoco struggles to attack—can Roy figure out a way to cheer it on?

==Plot==
In the middle of the night, [[Roy]] approaches the [[Brave Olivine]] in the rocky valley where it's docked. As he climbs onto the deck, he's spotted by [[Captain Pikachu]], who shocks him, waking up the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in the process. They all rush to the deck, with [[Liko]] and [[Friede]] recognizing him from the [[HZ004|previous day]]. He apologizes for barging in uninvited and expresses his desire to meet {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} again, as he wants to spend a lot more time with it. While Friede understands his feelings, he reminds Roy that he must also be considerate of Fuecoco's own feelings if he truly wishes for them to become partners. Friede allows Roy to spend the night on the ship so he can spend time with Fuecoco. Liko offers to lead Roy to Fuecoco, but it's not where she thought it'd be. Roy tries to sing the song he and Fuecoco sang the previous day, but Fuecoco, sleeping in a food storage, fails to hear anything. Ultimately, Liko and Roy rest on the Wing Deck after failing to find Fuecoco. Roy wonders what Fuecoco thinks about him, but Liko assures things will turn out fine, based on her own experiences with {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}.

The next morning, while Liko and Roy slept well, [[Orla]] is anything but well-rested, having spent all night trying to patch the ever-reappearing holes in the airship's gasbag, which are threatening the ship's keel. Roy suggests using the [[wild Pokémon]] on the island to help in solving the problem and asking [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]] for ideas, which Friede accepts, while Orla and the others say they'll move the Brave Olivine to the beach. Before leaving, Roy leaves some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]] for Fuecoco in the kitchen. When Fuecoco finds the Berries a bit later, Mollie tells it how Roy left them for it, causing Fuecoco to run outside and jump off the moving airship to find Roy. Meanwhile, Friede is surprised to learn that Roy's grandfather is the local elder he met the previous day. Roy's grandfather berates his grandson on sneaking aboard someone's ship without permission, but still serves everyone some food and [[Moomoo Milk]]. From the shape of the {{wp|dango}} he serves, Friede gets the idea to use {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}'s strings to patch up the airship's gasbag, with Roy suggesting that {{p|Scyther}} could cut the strings. The townspeople appear to prepare for lunchtime, and Roy's grandfather invites Friede to join in. At first, he's hesitant, but after seeing how excitedly Liko is studying the Pokémon accompanying the townspeople, he agrees to spare some of his time.

Meanwhile, Fuecoco wanders around the island, looking for Roy, but is unable to find him. Eventually, it winds up at a beach, from which it spots the [[Explorers]]' submarine, tracking the Brave Olivine. Even though the airship has moved, [[Zirc]] quickly discovers its new location. [[Onia]] suggests capturing the airship, but [[Amethio]] says their only targets are Liko and her pendant. As such, he orders Zirc and Onia to draw the attention of the ship's crew while he goes after Liko. The Explorers fly off on their Pokémon, and Fuecoco runs away to alert its friends. It ends up running past Roy's home, and Roy notices it. Fuecoco frantically points towards the beach where the ship is, so Friede departs to see what's wrong. On the beach, Zirc and Onia approach the airship, with Orla and [[Murdock]] stepping up to confront them. Friede approaches Amethio, who challenges him to a battle as well. Seeing the direction Friede came from, Onia figures Liko must be in the same direction as well.

Noticing Amethio in the distance, Liko realizes the Explorers have found them again and explains them to Roy and his grandfather. Hearing the sounds of the battle going on at the beach, they head to the forest to ask for the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon's help. They're both feeling nervous, but the presence of their Pokémon friends calms them down, especially as the Bug Pokémon agree to help. Along the way to the beach, they're confronted by Onia, with Liko telling Roy to run ahead while she deals with her. Arriving on the beach, Murdock and Orla lead the Bug Pokémon inside while [[Mollie]] takes over their place in the battle against Zirc. Thanks to Caterpie and Weedle's {{m|String Shot}}, the leaks in the gasbag are patched, stabilizing the Brave Olivine. With Mollie's {{p|Chansey}} struggling against Zirc's {{p|Rhydon}} and Fuecoco displaying its admiration towards [[Friede's Charizard]], Roy and Fuecoco enter the battle in their place. However, Fuecoco is unable to pull off even a single {{m|Ember}}. Liko, having defeated Onia, arrives on the scene and tells Roy to convey his feelings to Fuecoco. To her bafflement, Roy decides to do this by singing with Fuecoco, which, in fact, allows Fuecoco to pull off a successful Ember against Rhydon. The sight distracts Friede for a moment, during which Amethio flies away from their battle, whipping up a cloud of dust with his {{p|Corviknight}} and diving down at Liko, preparing to seize her.

==Blurb==


Now a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, Liko gets lookout duty, but the Brave Olivine must land on an island for repairs. Soon, Liko notices Fuecoco is missing and realizes it must have fallen off the airship. She and Sprigatito search for it, but they’re chased by wild Pokémon who are angry that Fuecoco ate their food. Meanwhile, Fuecoco meets Roy, a boy who lives on the island and dreams of becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Eventually, Roy and Fuecoco meet up with Liko, but the wild Pokémon remain angry, so Friede and Captain Pikachu come to the rescue. The Rising Volt Tacklers bid farewell to Roy, but he’s conflicted…

==Plot==
Waking up aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Liko]] changes to her everyday clothes, having chosen to wear them instead of her school uniform. She and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} hear a strange noise from outside, which turns out to come from {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. Joining the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], [[Friede]] assigns her and Sprigatito to watch over the observation deck, which they're happy to do. However, soon after they're given this responsibility, the airship starts losing altitude. Friede spots [[Roy's hometown|a familiar island]] nearby and pilots the ship there, docking it in a rocky valley. In a crew gathering, [[Orla]] reveals that the ship's gasbag has ruptured from several spots, threatening to strand them on the island. Friede decides to seek help from an [[Roy's grandfather|old man]] who looked after him and lives on this island. As he flies off with his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, Fuecoco runs after it and ends up sliding and falling off the edge of the Wing Deck.

Feeding the Pokémon aboard the airship, Liko notices that Fuecoco is not present. She asks the crew members in case any of them has seen it, but while none of them has, they still tell her various things about it; from [[Murdock]], she learns that it's a big eater; [[Ludlow]] explains that it likes to sing, as Liko saw before, but it'll stop singing if anyone sees it; and [[Mollie]] reveals that Fuecoco has lots of admiration towards Friede's Charizard, which could even be the reason why it's traveling with them. Checking the Wing Deck, Liko sees the drag market left behind by Fuecoco, realizing it must've fallen off the airship. On the beach below, she and Sprigatito find Fuecoco's footprints and start following them. Fuecoco, meanwhile, satisfies its hunger by eating a pile of {{Berries}} it found, while a boy named [[Roy]] attends an online class via his [[Rotom Phone|Rotom Pad]]. All of his friends in the class are already [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but since Roy's home island doesn't have any Trainers, he doesn't know how to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} himself a Pokémon. He does have plans, though, but to realize them, he's going to need a partner. Meanwhile, Liko finds the remains of the Berries that Fuecoco had eaten, only to be attacked and chased by a group of angry forest Pokémon right after.

After finishing the day's classes and watching a [[Nidothing]] video, Roy makes his way to his secret base in the woods, only to find it ransacked. Spotting a set of footprints and following the sound of a song, he eventually finds Fuecoco singing on a hill. When he approaches it to compliment its singing talent, Fuecoco gets flustered and runs off, with Roy giving chase. He eventually manages to catch Fuecoco when he saves it from falling into a ravine, bringing him to a viewing distance of the Brave Olivine in the process. While Friede fails to get help from the local elder in getting repair materials for the balloon and hearing that the forest Pokémon are going wild, Roy talks with Fuecoco, being amazed to see a Pokémon he's never seen before and asking it to sing again. At first, Fuecoco is reluctant, but further compliments from Roy encourage it to sing again, with Roy joining in.

As Roy tells Fuecoco about his dreams of traveling the {{pkmn|world}}, he suddenly hears Liko's scream in the distance as the forest Pokémon, now including a pair of {{p|Scyther}}, continue to chase her, and rushes off to help. Tossing a rock against some trees, he's able to distract the Pokémon and rescue Liko. Once in a safe spot, they introduce themselves to each other, with Liko also telling Roy Fuecoco's name. Roy showcases his treasure: an artifact he calls the [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. His grandfather found it years ago but never managed to open it, so he suspects it's empty. His dream is to explore the world like the [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] who's said to have met [[Legendary Pokémon]] and visited places no one has been to before.

The forest Pokémon suddenly find them again. Liko tries to fight them off with Sprigatito, but as Fuecoco is unable to use any {{t|Fire}} [[move]]s, they're quickly tied up by {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}'s {{m|String Shot}} and pulled to the spot where Fuecoco had eaten a pile of Berries, which had actually been the forest Pokémon's food stash. Friede arrives to help, though he chooses not to use Charizard's fire, saying it'd worsen the situation. Instead, he and [[Captain Pikachu]] charge ahead, weaving and dodging String Shots until all the agitated Pokémon are caught up in the strings instead and then calms them down by feeding them [[Lum Berry|Lum Berries]] and frees Liko and Roy. Roy, amazed by Friede's skills, asks if he's a [[Pokémon Professor]], which he admits to be true, surprising Liko, as she had not been aware that Friede was a Professor. Before leaving, Liko insists on staying for a bit as he and Roy gather some Berries to make up for the ones eaten by Fuecoco, much to the forest Pokémon's delight. Liko heads back to the Brave Olivine with Friede and Fuecoco, though Roy starts missing Fuecoco as soon as it's gone.

At night, while Liko is woken up by the sound of Fuecoco's singing and Roy finds himself unable to sleep, the [[Explorers]] are contacting [[Hamber]], a butler working for the organization's leader, [[Gibeon]]. [[Amethio]] asks him to not tell Gibeon anything yet, as he already has his next move in mind. Hamber accepts this request and warns Amethio to not underestimate Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers. The call ends, and Amethio has the Explorers' submarine head towards the tracking device attached to the Brave Olivine.

==Blurb==


After the Explorers steal Sprigatito, Liko awakens on board the Brave Olivine to find Friede looking for the group. His trail has gone cold, so Liko insists on searching by herself. Friede rejects her plan, revealing that her mother asked the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. So, Murdock’s Rockruff tries to track down Sprigatito’s scent while Liko and Mollie run errands. Suddenly, Liko hears Rockruff barking at someone who leads them directly to the Explorers…and to Sprigatito! As Friede and Amethio resume battling, Liko and Sprigatito create a diversion and escape. Knowing the Rising Volt Tacklers are good people, and wanting answers to her questions, Liko has a request…

==Plot==
After having a flashback of [[Diana|her grandmother]] during a dream, [[Liko]] wakes up aboard the [[Brave Olivine]]. Remembering how her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} was taken from her the [[HZ002|previous night]], she resolves to get her partner back and steps out of her cabin to find [[Orla]], [[Murdock]], and [[Mollie]] on the deck. They tell her that [[Friede]] is looking for the [[Explorers]] so they can get her Sprigatito back. Friede indeed soon returns, though he says that while he managed to follow the Explorers to a nearby port city, he lost track of them afterwards, so he has no idea where exactly they're hiding. Liko expresses her desire to come along to look for her partner, though Friede warns that she won't stand a chance against the Explorers without any Pokémon. Friede reveals that [[Lucca|her mother]] actually hired them as her bodyguards, which surprises Liko, causing the rest of the team to berate Friede for once again unintentionally withholding information from her, though they quickly brush it aside to focus on breakfast instead.

Once the Brave Olivine has docked at the port town, Murdock calls out his {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}}. Since Rockruff still remembers Sprigatito's scent, he figures they can use it to find the Explorers. Friede joins him on his search, while Orla will work on repairing the wing deck, Mollie asks Liko's help in getting some [[Potion]]s from a [[Pokémon Center]], and [[Ludlow]] stays behind to [[Fishing|fish]]. Leading Liko to the Pokémon Center, Mollie hands her a list of the preordered items and sends her inside alone without explaining why she's not coming along. Meeting [[Nurse Joy]], Liko hands the list to her, but Joy gets distracted by the need to treat another girl's {{p|Vulpix}} first. The girl berates herself for causing her partner to get hurt due to her own inexperience, making Liko think about Sprigatito and the possibility of her partner getting hurt too. However, unbeknownst to Liko, Sprigatito is being treated well by [[Onia]], who has bought her plenty of {{pkmn|food}} and toys, finding her irresistibly cute. She recomposes herself when [[Amethio]] enters the room, making it clear that he does not intend to use Sprigatito as a bargaining chip, his focus being solely on capturing Liko and her pendant. He is contacted by [[Zirc]], who's spying on the Brave Olivine and informs him that the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are in the city. Ending the call, Amethio wonders out loud what the team's next move is going to be.

Aboard the Brave Olivine, Orla finishes repairing the wing deck's retraction mechanism, while at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy finishes treating the Vulpix and hands Liko the boxes containing the preordered items. Liko almost falls over from the weight of the boxes, but they're caught by [[Mollie's Chansey]] the instant she exits the building. Simultaneously, Rockruff catches Sprigatito's scent on a disguised Onia, who's been out shopping. When Murdock, Friede, and Liko run towards her, she ditches her shopping bag and makes a run for it, contacting Amethio and informing him of her situation. He tells her to lead them to their hiding place and contacts Zirc, who's just finished secretly attaching a tracking device on the underside of the Brave Olivine, telling him to return. While Murdock stays behind to assist the civilians whom Onia knocked over during her escape, Liko and Friede follow Rockruff to the warehouse area where the Explorers are hiding. Friede tries to keep Liko from just charging in, but she, as Sprigatito's {{pkmn|Trainer}}, feels it's her responsibility to save it. As such, Friede devices a plan.

Liko and Friede enter a warehouse, where Amethio confronts them. He makes his recurring demand for Liko's pendant clear, but Friede suggests they settle things with a [[Pokémon battle]], as their previous battle wasn't even properly finished. Amethio agrees, and Liko moves aside from being caught in the middle of the action. While [[Captain Pikachu]] once more clashes against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], Liko uses the distraction to sneak further into the warehouse, with Rockruff quickly leading her to the room where Sprigatito is being held. As Friede and Amethio's battle moves to the warehouse's rooftop, Liko forces the door open and reunites with Sprigatito. They escape outside, where Onia appears before them, still fawning over "her" cute Sprigatito. She is devastated when the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} refuses to come with her and calls out her {{p|Skarmory}}, taunting that a {{t|Grass}} type like Sprigatito stands no chance against it. Undeterred, Liko orders Sprigatito to use {{m|Leafage}}. While the [[move|attack]] doesn't do much against Skarmory, it still provides enough of a cover to allow Liko and Sprigatito to escape. On the rooftop, Amethio has driven him and Pikachu at the edge. His confidence of his impending victory fades away quickly, however, when the leaves of Leafage rise up behind Friede and he sees Liko running away, realizing too late that the battle was just a distraction planned by Friede. Smirking, Friede and Pikachu fall off the rooftop and fly away with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}.
[[File:Murdock and Rockruff.png|thumb|250px|left|Murdock praising his Rockruff]]
Aboard the Brave Olivine at sunset, Liko feels she can finally fully trust the Rising Volt Tacklers, given that they put her and Sprigatito's safety before her pendant. In addition, being separated and reuniting with Sprigatito has truly made her feel like a Trainer and made her understand what her grandmother had meant by telling her that the only scary part of being a Trainer is the first step. Thanks to Sprigatito, she's been able to take that first step and find herself a new horizon. She steps in front of the Rising Volt Tacklers, expressing that, while they seemed suspicious to her at first, due to them taking her with them without explaining anything, she feels ready to trust and travel with them now in order to find out more about her pendant and why the Explorers are after her. Friede happily accepts her request to continue traveling along with them, as they're also interested in finding out more about the pendant, since the Rising Volt Tacklers are a team all about uncovering the mysteries of the world, yet another thing that he's absentmindedly neglected to mention. With Liko now officially a member of the team, Friede declares that their next destination is [[Cabo Poco|Liko's home]] in [[Paldea]], where they're going to collect their bodyguard fees so they can keep financing their adventures. In her cabin, Liko calls [[Ann]] and informs her of her departure, saying that she'll be attending classes remotely from now on.

On [[Roy's hometown|a small island]] off the coast of [[Kanto]], a boy named [[Roy]] happily runs out of his home and to the beach, excited to see if the previous night's storm has brought in any new treasures. Much to his delight, he indeed finds something: the flag that was blown off the Brave Olivine as it flew through said storm.

==Blurb==


Liko and Sprigatito continue to flee Amethio, but when Friede swoops in with his Charizard, Amethio is forced to pause the pursuit to battle. During the fight, Liko is nearly hit by an attack, but her pendant suddenly surrounds her with a barrier. Inside, Liko is shocked to see an unfamiliar Pokémon, but it quickly reverts back into the pendant. Liko and Sprigatito fall, but Friede and Charizard catch them and take them to the Brave Olivine, an airship that’s home to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Liko has lots of questions but no time to ask them. Amethio is back, so Friede calls on a powerful partner—Captain Pikachu!

==Plot==
Picking up from the end of the [[HZ001|previous episode]], [[Liko]] suddenly finds herself surrounded by a green sphere of energy created by her pendant. Looking around, she spots {{an|Terapagos|a strange Pokémon}} floating in the air in front of her. After a few seconds, the Pokémon transforms back into her pendant, and the sphere disappears, causing Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to start falling. Fortunately, [[Friede]] and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} save her in the nick of time. With all the crazy things that have happened to her over the course of the night, Liko feels like a new chapter has just begun in her life. Friede tells [[Amethio]] that they have to continue their {{pkmn|battle}} some other time and has Charizard fly away. Looking at the endless night sky, Liko feels she was only able to take the leap of faith that led her to this moment thanks to Sprigatito being by her side and takes a moment to compliment her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|partner]]. Behind them, Amethio, [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] call out a {{p|Corviknight}} and a pair of {{p|Skarmory}} to continue their pursuit.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito scent.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito making friends]]
With her initial rush of excitement wearing off, Liko starts freaking out with how many unexplained things have happened to her, including being saved by a man whom she doesn't even know yet. She tries to ask for him to drop her off, only for them to start approaching a massive airship named the [[Brave Olivine]]. A battlefield-like structure called the wing deck comes together at the back of the ship, allowing Charizard to land. Friede is approached by [[Murdock]] and [[Mollie]]. When Liko questions who they are, they berate Friede for leaving her in the dark and bringing her along without telling her anything. They are then approached by a {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and a {{p|Pawmi}}, which Liko recognizes as being from her home [[region]] of [[Paldea]]. Murdock explains that these Pokémon settled down with them during their travels, along with a group of other Pokémon from other regions. Seeing that these Pokémon seem comfortable around these people, Liko figures they are most likely not bad guys. She's momentarily mesmerized by the cuteness of seeing Sprigatito playing with the other Pokémon but quickly refocuses her attention on what's important. However, before she can ask any questions, Friede learns that the three people from before are still after them, while Mollie informs him that [[Orla]] has detected a huge stormcloud on their path. Friede tells {{p|Noctowl}} to be on the lookout and asks Mollie to watch after Liko as he leaves for the wheelhouse and sends Charizard to help Orla in the engine room.
[[File:Liko freaks out.png|thumb|250px|Liko freaking out]]
Before Liko and Mollie can head downstairs, a blackout cuts the power to the elevator. Just then, Noctowl alerts them that their pursuers are approaching. Using a telescope, Mollie recognizes them as the notorious [[Explorers]] group. In the wheelhouse, Friede takes over the helm from the ship's captain, [[Captain Pikachu]], and decides to steer them into the incoming stormcloud to hopefully shake off their pursuers. Amethio, however, refuses to give up and orders the Explorers to use the ship to shield themselves from the wind. They are soon at the wing deck, which Mollie is unable to retract due to the blackout, so she heads outside to try to retract it manually, leaving Liko to watch after the Pokémon. Leaving the wheel to Murdock, Friede and Captain Pikachu head outside as well, picking up Charizard from the engine room along the way. Unfortunately for Mollie, she's unable to retract the wing deck before the Explorers break through the barrier surrounding it. Freaking out, Liko starts feeling like [[Breaking the fourth wall|she's the main character of this story]]. Looking at the scared Pokémon, she feels guilty about them being caught in the crossfire, all because of the pendant [[Diana|her grandmother]] gave to her.

The Explorers enter the airship and find Liko. Amethio asks her why she fled, along with if she can truly trust her rescuers, and what her pendant's glow was about. While she doesn't know the answer to any of those questions, she's sure that she can't trust the Explorers. Sprigatito lunges at them, but Onia easily holds it back. Liko tells them to let Sprigatito go, being ready to surrender herself to them as long as they leave the Pokémon alone. Amethio agrees to this, feeling that since Liko is clearly a part of the pendant's secret as well, they'll be taking her in addition to it. However, they don't make it further than the wing deck before Friede swoops in with Charizard, promising to protect Liko and Sprigatito. Friede and Amethio properly introduce themselves to each other, with Friede presenting himself as the leader of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Refusing to let them take Liko, Friede agrees to continue their earlier battle, though this time, instead of Charizard, he chooses to use Captain Pikachu against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], which Amethio scoffs at. Pikachu makes the first move with {{m|Thunder Punch}}, which Ceruledge blocks without issue. Pikachu follows up with {{m|Double Team}}. Ceruledge deals with the copies with a flurry of {{m|Psycho Cut}}s, before attempting to attack the real one with {{m|Bitter Blade}}, only for it to turn out to be a copy too. The real Pikachu is standing at the top of the airship and summons down a big thunderbolt to strike himself. Powered up thanks to the lightning bolt, Pikachu slams into Ceruledge with a powerful {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

When Amethio has Ceruledge fight back with Psycho Cut, the attack gets deflected and strikes the room where all the Pokémon are. Not wanting anyone to be hurt anymore, Liko tells them to stop the battle, ready to follow through with her surrender. She's sure Sprigatito is feeling the same way, until suddenly, the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} jumps off her arms and starts crying out to her in a determined manner. Seeing her partner's refusal to surrender, Liko realizes she's been lying to herself and stands up to Amethio. With all the confidence she can muster, she orders Sprigatito to use {{m|Leafage}}. The [[move|attack]] erupts out of Sprigatito with such intensity that both Friede and Amethio are left in shock at its power, while Liko feels happy to have finally succeeded in using a proper move with her partner. However, the attack also breaks the barrier surrounding the wing deck, allowing the stormy winds to blow in. Friede is able to keep Liko from being blown away but is unable to stop Sprigatito from flying overboard. Deciding on a tactical retreat, Amethio orders the Explorers to withdraw, snatching Sprigatito mid-fall as they fly away, leaving Liko to helplessly watch and cry out as her partner is kidnapped and taken away from her.

* [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]: ''What is needed to intensify {{p|Sprigatito}}'s sweet scent?''
** Choices: A battle, a sun bath, a meal
** Answer: A sun bath
* This episode introduces a new series of [[eyecatch]]es, with both the first and second halves featuring a different character and their Pokémon.
** The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, and the second features [[Friede]] and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}.
** This is the first episode of the English dub to retain the static eyecatches.
* A new [[title card]] is introduced.
** Starting from this episode, Liko reads the title card in every episode.
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ001|previous episode]].
** Neither the title card nor the eyecatches were shown.
** The title shown during the previous episode didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The recap during the cold open was cut.
** A special preview introducing [[Roy]] in addition to the [[HZ003|next episode]] was shown instead of the regular preview.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ001-HZ010)#HZ001 / HZ002 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the [[Brave Olivine]] flying through the air from this episode.
* For the regular release of this episode:
** The {{pmin|Japan}}ese, {{pmin|Taiwan}}ese Mandarin, {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese, {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}}, and {{pmin|Mainland China|mainland Chinese}} Mandarin dubs use the regular opening theme for the series ([[Heart-Pounding Diary]] in Japan, [[We Go (English Ver.)]] in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and [[Set Sail]] in mainland China) as the ending theme, with the title card appearing immediately after the recap at the beginning.
** The {{pmin|Korea}}n release uses the regular opening and ending themes ([[We Go]] and [[By Your Side]] at the very start (before the cold open) and the very end (after the next episode preview) of the episode.
** Other language dubs use the regular opening theme ([[Becoming Me]] internationally, [[We Go (English Ver.)]] in Asia, and [[Let's Get Started]] in South Asia) before the title card and the regular ending theme (instrumental version of [[Becoming Me]] internationally and [[Boom Kaboom]] in South Asia) for the credits.
* On April 17, 2023, three days after the initial airing of this episode, the official English Pokémon profile on Twitter revealed the first little information about the mysterious Pokémon and a post about the episode and its reveal, noting that it would appear in [[The Indigo Disk]].<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> This marks the first time the {{pkmn|animated series}} has introduced a [[New Pokémon|previously unknown Pokémon]] since {{p|Togepi}}'s appearance in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''. On August 8, 2023, this Pokémon was revealed to be {{p|Terapagos}} in its {{form|Terapagos|Normal Form}}.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/ ''Two Forms of the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos!'' - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website]</ref>
* Liko [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] in this episode by acknowledging herself as "the main character of this story".
* This episode marks the first time a Pokémon makes its [[List of Pokémon by animated series debut|animated series debut]] past its debut generation since {{p|Togetic}} made its debut in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''.
* This and the previous episode are the first two-part episode since ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'' aired almost 11 years earlier.

===Errors===
* [[Amethio]]'s gloves are white instead of black when he pulls back his wet hair. This was fixed in the English dub.
* When Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}} emerges from its {{i|Poké Ball}} to catch Sprigatito, the sound effect of a Pokémon being [[recall]]ed is used.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting [[Captain Pikachu]]'s name is edited out.
* In the BBC release, the scene where Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}} is shortened and slowed down.

==Blurb==


''Leaving her home in Paldea, Liko travels to Kanto to enroll in Indigo Academy and become a Pokémon Trainer. She’s nervous but also excited to learn new things about herself and the world. After Liko meets her roommate, Ann, both girls receive their partner Pokémon: Ann is overjoyed to get Oshawott, but Liko seems disappointed when her partner is Sprigatito, a Pokémon from Paldea. Still, Liko attempts to befriend the Pokémon, and they eventually begin to bond. But one day, a mysterious young man approaches Liko, claiming to have a letter from her grandma. He also seems interested in Liko’s pendant, but Liko is suspicious…''

==Plot==
A young girl named [[Liko]] arrives at a [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world|bus]] stop on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, but her shyness keeps her from talking with the other girls waiting there. Even as she boards the bus and sees other girls watching a video by the internet celebrity known as [[Nidothing]], whom she's a fan of, she finds herself incapable of finding the right words to talk with them. Instead, she opts to look out of the window and marvel at all the [[Kanto]] Pokémon she's seeing for the first time.
[[File:Liko and Ann School Uniform.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Ann at Indigo Academy]]
The bus eventually arrives at [[Indigo Academy]]. Liko goes to her room and meets her roommate, a girl named [[Ann]], in the middle of turning the room upside down to find her missing toothbrush, adding to the awkwardness of the situation. The two introduce themselves to each other, with Liko revealing she's from the [[Paldea]] [[region]], having come to study at Indigo Academy because [[Alex|her]] [[Lucca|parents]] had once studied here as well. Ann feels jealous of her, having never been outside of Kanto herself. As they later watch a [[Pokémon battle]] outside, Ann expresses her excitement at receiving her own [[first partner Pokémon]] during the entrance ceremony, though Liko has been too nervous to think about it. That night, Liko, too nervous to sleep, writes a diary entry on her [[Rotom Phone|Rotom Pad]], describing her first day at school and expressing her anticipation at getting to meet her partner Pokémon.

The entrance ceremony takes place the next day. Following the headmistress giving a welcoming speech, the new students gather in a classroom, where each of them gets a [[Pokédex]] installed on their Rotom Phone, before being allowed to come in front of the class in turns to pick up their partner Pokémon. Ann eagerly chooses {{p|Oshawott}} as her partner, while Liko nervously picks {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. She finds her new partner cute, but Sprigatito simply scratches her when she tries to pet her and runs off. Liko chases after Sprigatito, following her sweet scent to a rooftop. Sprigatito hops toward Liko, but when she tries to catch the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}}, they both end up falling down. Fortunately, their landing is softened by a {{p|Snorlax}}. While following Sprigatito to a lake, she stops to look at the beautiful sunset. However, Sprigatito still refuses to be held by her, shattering Liko's expectations of meeting a perfect partner.

After an unsuccessful attempt at having her first battle with Ann, Liko secretly sneaks out at night to try to {{pkmn|training|train}} Sprigatito's {{m|Leafage}} by the lake, though without success. Upon returning, she takes out a box from underneath her bed and opens it to reveal a pendant. Ann, having woken up without her noticing, approaches her and asks her about the pendant. Liko explains that it's a gift from [[Diana|her grandmother]], meant to work as a good-luck charm to keep her safe, though she doesn't feel ready to wear it yet. The next day, Liko is too distracted by her own thoughts to notice Ann pointing out an [[Brave Olivine|airship]] in the distance, instead expressing her envy towards how well Ann and Oshawott are coming along. Following Ann's advice, Liko starts trying to learn more about Sprigatito in order to understand her better and hopefully learn what they both want to do. On the roof, Liko tries to catch Sprigatito in her hands again and succeeds, although she, having a tendency to lose her footing on occasion, falls down onto the ground. They also continue their secret nightly training, though Sprigatito's fickle nature isn't making it easy. Meanwhile, [[Rising Volt Tacklers|a group of people]] searches around the school for her, albeit with little success.

Eventually, a school break arrives. Ann heads home to show off her Oshawott, while Liko plans to stay at the school. After seeing Ann off, she encounters a young man named [[Amethio]], who hands her a letter, saying it's from her grandmother and asking for her to bring her her precious pendant. Liko, feeling suspicious about the man, goes to her room to supposedly get ready. Feeling that something isn't right, she takes her pendant and climbs out the window to escape. Entering the room only moments later, Amethio sees that Liko is gone and alerts [[Explorers|his comrades]] to be on the lookout for her. One of them, [[Onia]], notices her, while a man named [[Zirc]] confronts her and calls out his {{p|Rhydon}}. Since Sprigatito isn't strong enough to fight Rhydon, Liko instead has her blind Rhydon with Leafage and then use her relaxing scent to put it to sleep. She flees onto a rooftop, but is cornered by Amethio, who demands that she hand over her pendant. Suddenly, [[Friede|a man]] swoops down from the sky on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, saying that he also has business with Liko. Amethio decides to settle things with a Pokémon battle, sending out his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} to confront Charizard and telling his comrades to stand back.

As the battle between the two {{t|Fire}} Pokémon commences, Liko, while thoroughly confused by everything that's going on, decides to get away in order to prevent the school from being caught in the crossfire. During her escape, she needs to jump over a gap between rooftops. She gathers her courage and takes the leap of faith, just as a {{m|Psycho Cut}} from Ceruledge is deflected by Charizard and sent careening towards her. Suddenly, her pendant starts to glow brightly, and she becomes surrounded by a green, hexagon-patterned sphere of energy, protecting her and suspending her mid-air.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ001 Title card.png|thumb|230px|Title card]]
* This is the first episode of the ''[[Liko and Roy's Departure]]'' chapter.
* The title text for this episode is shown over the background directly, instead of a separate [[title card]] segment. Hence, no one reads the title card for this episode.
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on a corner of the screen before and after the commercial break.
* This is the first main series episode:
** Where {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are not listed as protagonists, and the first main series episode where the [[Team Rocket trio]] are not listed as antagonists.
** To not feature a male protagonist in any capacity.
** Since ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'' to not have a separate title card segment.
* [[Liko]]'s capture of {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} marks the first time:
** Where a female main character has obtained a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] since {{an|May}} {{pkmn2|caught}} her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', 885 episodes earlier.
** That a female main character has obtained her first Pokémon outside her home [[region]].
** That a main character has received a Grass-type first partner Pokémon as their first Pokémon.
** That a main character obtains a Pokémon in the first episode of a new series since {{an|Dawn}} obtained her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', 766 episodes earlier.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** {{m|Dynamic Punch}} has been used in the animated series since ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', 536 episodes earlier.
** A female main character has obtained a [[Pokédex]] since {{an|Serena}} received her second one in ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', 341 episodes earlier.
** A recurring character, who isn't a [[rival]], has officially obtained a {{type|Water}} first partner Pokémon outside its native region, not counting [[JNS01|temporary captures]].
* This episode introduces 11 named recurring [[List of animated series characters|characters]], the most such characters introduced in a single episode since ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', 1,228 episodes earlier, which also introduced 11 named recurring characters.
* This and the [[HZ002|next episode]] are the first two-part episode since ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', aired almost 11 years earlier.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Surskit}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since ''[[SM071|Dewpider Ascending!]]'', 223 episodes earlier.
** This episode also marks the first appearance of a {{p|Masquerain}} in the animated series since ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', 165 episodes earlier.
* As of this episode:

** All three types of the first partner Pokémon have been chosen by a female main character as their first Pokémon.
** The voice actors are listed in the credits in alphabetical order by their first names rather than their last names.
*** Additionally, this is the first time [[Sarah Natochenny]] is listed in the "Additional Voices" credits.
* The relationship of Liko and her Sprigatito throughout the episode is reminiscent of Ash and Pikachu's during the [[EP001|very first episode]] of the animated series, as both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s struggle to deal with their first partner Pokémon.
* The backpacks the other students are wearing are designed after the ones from [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
[[File:HZ001 Title card initial TV airing.png|thumb|230px|Title card for the one-hour special]]
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ002|next episode]].
** The end credits, the "To Be Continued" text, and the next episode preview were not present at the end of the episode.
** The title didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ001-HZ010)#HZ001 / HZ002 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the [[Brave Olivine]] flying through the air from the following episode.
* For the regular release of this episode:
** The {{pmin|Japan}}ese, {{pmin|Taiwan}}ese Mandarin, {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese, {{pmin|Mainland China|mainland Chinese}} Mandarin, and {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} releases use generic animated series music during the ending credits, with the credits appearing on an out-of-focus shot of the school as the background.
** The {{pmin|Korea}}n release uses the regular opening and ending themes ([[We Go]] and [[By Your Side]] at the very start (before the cold open) and the very end (after the next episode preview) of the episode.
** Other language releases use the instrumental version of [[Becoming Me]] as the ending theme (except {{pmin|South Asia}}n dubs which use the original song [[Boom Kaboom]]) with the regular animation sequence.
* {{p|Charizard}}'s voice is dubbed for the first time in this episode.
* Starting from this episode until ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', [[Nidothing]] and {{TP|Nidothing|Quaxly}} narrate the next episode previews.

===Errors===
* Before leaving Liko's dorm room, the white portion of [[Amethio]]'s hair is missing some of its triangle shapes.
* In the {{pmin|India|Hindi}} dub:
** Poliwhirl's cry with its English name is left undubbed, in contrast to the other Pokémon which had their cries dubbed with their [[List of Hindi Pokémon names|Hindi names]].
** Liko's grandmother is referred to as her दादी ''dādī'' (father's mother) instead of नानी ''nānī'' (mother's mother).
* In the Bengali dub, the audio of Liko reading the title card out loud is delayed, playing when Liko walks up to the school instead of when the title text is on-screen.

<gallery>

</gallery>

===Dub edits===
* The BBC release removes the shot of [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} jumping from the roof.
* In the {{pmin|India|Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali}} dubs, Liko reads the title out loud.

==Blurb==


Liko and Sprigatito continue to flee Amethio, but when Friede swoops in with his Charizard, Amethio is forced to pause the pursuit to battle. During the fight, Liko is nearly hit by an attack, but her pendant suddenly surrounds her with a barrier. Inside, Liko is shocked to see an unfamiliar Pokémon, but it quickly reverts back into the pendant. Liko and Sprigatito fall, but Friede and Charizard catch them and take them to the Brave Olivine, an airship that’s home to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Liko has lots of questions but no time to ask them. Amethio is back, so Friede calls on a powerful partner—Captain Pikachu!

==Plot==
Picking up from the end of the [[HZ001|previous episode]], [[Liko]] suddenly finds herself surrounded by a green sphere of energy created by her pendant. Looking around, she spots {{an|Terapagos|a strange Pokémon}} floating in the air in front of her. After a few seconds, the Pokémon transforms back into her pendant, and the sphere disappears, causing Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to start falling. Fortunately, [[Friede]] and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} save her in the nick of time. With all the crazy things that have happened to her over the course of the night, Liko feels like a new chapter has just begun in her life. Friede tells [[Amethio]] that they have to continue their {{pkmn|battle}} some other time and has Charizard fly away. Looking at the endless night sky, Liko feels she was only able to take the leap of faith that led her to this moment thanks to Sprigatito being by her side and takes a moment to compliment her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|partner]]. Behind them, Amethio, [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] call out a {{p|Corviknight}} and a pair of {{p|Skarmory}} to continue their pursuit.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito scent.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito making friends]]
With her initial rush of excitement wearing off, Liko starts freaking out with how many unexplained things have happened to her, including being saved by a man whom she doesn't even know yet. She tries to ask for him to drop her off, only for them to start approaching a massive airship named the [[Brave Olivine]]. A battlefield-like structure called the wing deck comes together at the back of the ship, allowing Charizard to land. Friede is approached by [[Murdock]] and [[Mollie]]. When Liko questions who they are, they berate Friede for leaving her in the dark and bringing her along without telling her anything. They are then approached by a {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and a {{p|Pawmi}}, which Liko recognizes as being from her home [[region]] of [[Paldea]]. Murdock explains that these Pokémon settled down with them during their travels, along with a group of other Pokémon from other regions. Seeing that these Pokémon seem comfortable around these people, Liko figures they are most likely not bad guys. She's momentarily mesmerized by the cuteness of seeing Sprigatito playing with the other Pokémon but quickly refocuses her attention on what's important. However, before she can ask any questions, Friede learns that the three people from before are still after them, while Mollie informs him that [[Orla]] has detected a huge stormcloud on their path. Friede tells {{p|Noctowl}} to be on the lookout and asks Mollie to watch after Liko as he leaves for the wheelhouse and sends Charizard to help Orla in the engine room.
[[File:Liko freaks out.png|thumb|250px|Liko freaking out]]
Before Liko and Mollie can head downstairs, a blackout cuts the power to the elevator. Just then, Noctowl alerts them that their pursuers are approaching. Using a telescope, Mollie recognizes them as the notorious [[Explorers]] group. In the wheelhouse, Friede takes over the helm from the ship's captain, [[Captain Pikachu]], and decides to steer them into the incoming stormcloud to hopefully shake off their pursuers. Amethio, however, refuses to give up and orders the Explorers to use the ship to shield themselves from the wind. They are soon at the wing deck, which Mollie is unable to retract due to the blackout, so she heads outside to try to retract it manually, leaving Liko to watch after the Pokémon. Leaving the wheel to Murdock, Friede and Captain Pikachu head outside as well, picking up Charizard from the engine room along the way. Unfortunately for Mollie, she's unable to retract the wing deck before the Explorers break through the barrier surrounding it. Freaking out, Liko starts feeling like [[Breaking the fourth wall|she's the main character of this story]]. Looking at the scared Pokémon, she feels guilty about them being caught in the crossfire, all because of the pendant [[Diana|her grandmother]] gave to her.

The Explorers enter the airship and find Liko. Amethio asks her why she fled, along with if she can truly trust her rescuers, and what her pendant's glow was about. While she doesn't know the answer to any of those questions, she's sure that she can't trust the Explorers. Sprigatito lunges at them, but Onia easily holds it back. Liko tells them to let Sprigatito go, being ready to surrender herself to them as long as they leave the Pokémon alone. Amethio agrees to this, feeling that since Liko is clearly a part of the pendant's secret as well, they'll be taking her in addition to it. However, they don't make it further than the wing deck before Friede swoops in with Charizard, promising to protect Liko and Sprigatito. Friede and Amethio properly introduce themselves to each other, with Friede presenting himself as the leader of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Refusing to let them take Liko, Friede agrees to continue their earlier battle, though this time, instead of Charizard, he chooses to use Captain Pikachu against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], which Amethio scoffs at. Pikachu makes the first move with {{m|Thunder Punch}}, which Ceruledge blocks without issue. Pikachu follows up with {{m|Double Team}}. Ceruledge deals with the copies with a flurry of {{m|Psycho Cut}}s, before attempting to attack the real one with {{m|Bitter Blade}}, only for it to turn out to be a copy too. The real Pikachu is standing at the top of the airship and summons down a big thunderbolt to strike himself. Powered up thanks to the lightning bolt, Pikachu slams into Ceruledge with a powerful {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

When Amethio has Ceruledge fight back with Psycho Cut, the attack gets deflected and strikes the room where all the Pokémon are. Not wanting anyone to be hurt anymore, Liko tells them to stop the battle, ready to follow through with her surrender. She's sure Sprigatito is feeling the same way, until suddenly, the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} jumps off her arms and starts crying out to her in a determined manner. Seeing her partner's refusal to surrender, Liko realizes she's been lying to herself and stands up to Amethio. With all the confidence she can muster, she orders Sprigatito to use {{m|Leafage}}. The [[move|attack]] erupts out of Sprigatito with such intensity that both Friede and Amethio are left in shock at its power, while Liko feels happy to have finally succeeded in using a proper move with her partner. However, the attack also breaks the barrier surrounding the wing deck, allowing the stormy winds to blow in. Friede is able to keep Liko from being blown away but is unable to stop Sprigatito from flying overboard. Deciding on a tactical retreat, Amethio orders the Explorers to withdraw, snatching Sprigatito mid-fall as they fly away, leaving Liko to helplessly watch and cry out as her partner is kidnapped and taken away from her.

* [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]: ''What is needed to intensify {{p|Sprigatito}}'s sweet scent?''
** Choices: A battle, a sun bath, a meal
** Answer: A sun bath
* This episode introduces a new series of [[eyecatch]]es, with both the first and second halves featuring a different character and their Pokémon.
** The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, and the second features [[Friede]] and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}.
** This is the first episode of the English dub to retain the static eyecatches.
* A new [[title card]] is introduced.
** Starting from this episode, Liko reads the title card in every episode.
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ001|previous episode]].
** Neither the title card nor the eyecatches were shown.
** The title shown during the previous episode didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The recap during the cold open was cut.
** A special preview introducing [[Roy]] in addition to the [[HZ003|next episode]] was shown instead of the regular preview.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ001-HZ010)#HZ001 / HZ002 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the [[Brave Olivine]] flying through the air from this episode.
* For the regular release of this episode:
** The {{pmin|Japan}}ese, {{pmin|Taiwan}}ese Mandarin, {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese, {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}}, and {{pmin|Mainland China|mainland Chinese}} Mandarin dubs use the regular opening theme for the series ([[Heart-Pounding Diary]] in Japan, [[We Go (English Ver.)]] in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and [[Set Sail]] in mainland China) as the ending theme, with the title card appearing immediately after the recap at the beginning.
** The {{pmin|Korea}}n release uses the regular opening and ending themes ([[We Go]] and [[By Your Side]] at the very start (before the cold open) and the very end (after the next episode preview) of the episode.
** Other language dubs use the regular opening theme ([[Becoming Me]] internationally, [[We Go (English Ver.)]] in Asia, and [[Let's Get Started]] in South Asia) before the title card and the regular ending theme (instrumental version of [[Becoming Me]] internationally and [[Boom Kaboom]] in South Asia) for the credits.
* On April 17, 2023, three days after the initial airing of this episode, the official English Pokémon profile on Twitter revealed the first little information about the mysterious Pokémon and a post about the episode and its reveal, noting that it would appear in [[The Indigo Disk]].<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> This marks the first time the {{pkmn|animated series}} has introduced a [[New Pokémon|previously unknown Pokémon]] since {{p|Togepi}}'s appearance in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''. On August 8, 2023, this Pokémon was revealed to be {{p|Terapagos}} in its {{form|Terapagos|Normal Form}}.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/ ''Two Forms of the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos!'' - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website]</ref>
* Liko [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] in this episode by acknowledging herself as "the main character of this story".
* This episode marks the first time a Pokémon makes its [[List of Pokémon by animated series debut|animated series debut]] past its debut generation since {{p|Togetic}} made its debut in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''.
* This and the previous episode are the first two-part episode since ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'' aired almost 11 years earlier.

===Errors===
* [[Amethio]]'s gloves are white instead of black when he pulls back his wet hair. This was fixed in the English dub.
* When Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}} emerges from its {{i|Poké Ball}} to catch Sprigatito, the sound effect of a Pokémon being [[recall]]ed is used.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting [[Captain Pikachu]]'s name is edited out.
* In the BBC release, the scene where Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}} is shortened and slowed down.

==Blurb==


''Leaving her home in Paldea, Liko travels to Kanto to enroll in Indigo Academy and become a Pokémon Trainer. She’s nervous but also excited to learn new things about herself and the world. After Liko meets her roommate, Ann, both girls receive their partner Pokémon: Ann is overjoyed to get Oshawott, but Liko seems disappointed when her partner is Sprigatito, a Pokémon from Paldea. Still, Liko attempts to befriend the Pokémon, and they eventually begin to bond. But one day, a mysterious young man approaches Liko, claiming to have a letter from her grandma. He also seems interested in Liko’s pendant, but Liko is suspicious…''

==Plot==
A young girl named [[Liko]] arrives at a [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world|bus]] stop on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, but her shyness keeps her from talking with the other girls waiting there. Even as she boards the bus and sees other girls watching a video by the internet celebrity known as [[Nidothing]], whom she's a fan of, she finds herself incapable of finding the right words to talk with them. Instead, she opts to look out of the window and marvel at all the [[Kanto]] Pokémon she's seeing for the first time.
[[File:Liko and Ann School Uniform.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Ann at Indigo Academy]]
The bus eventually arrives at [[Indigo Academy]]. Liko goes to her room and meets her roommate, a girl named [[Ann]], in the middle of turning the room upside down to find her missing toothbrush, adding to the awkwardness of the situation. The two introduce themselves to each other, with Liko revealing she's from the [[Paldea]] [[region]], having come to study at Indigo Academy because [[Alex|her]] [[Lucca|parents]] had once studied here as well. Ann feels jealous of her, having never been outside of Kanto herself. As they later watch a [[Pokémon battle]] outside, Ann expresses her excitement at receiving her own [[first partner Pokémon]] during the entrance ceremony, though Liko has been too nervous to think about it. That night, Liko, too nervous to sleep, writes a diary entry on her [[Rotom Phone|Rotom Pad]], describing her first day at school and expressing her anticipation at getting to meet her partner Pokémon.

The entrance ceremony takes place the next day. Following the headmistress giving a welcoming speech, the new students gather in a classroom, where each of them gets a [[Pokédex]] installed on their Rotom Phone, before being allowed to come in front of the class in turns to pick up their partner Pokémon. Ann eagerly chooses {{p|Oshawott}} as her partner, while Liko nervously picks {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. She finds her new partner cute, but Sprigatito simply scratches her when she tries to pet her and runs off. Liko chases after Sprigatito, following her sweet scent to a rooftop. Sprigatito hops toward Liko, but when she tries to catch the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}}, they both end up falling down. Fortunately, their landing is softened by a {{p|Snorlax}}. While following Sprigatito to a lake, she stops to look at the beautiful sunset. However, Sprigatito still refuses to be held by her, shattering Liko's expectations of meeting a perfect partner.

After an unsuccessful attempt at having her first battle with Ann, Liko secretly sneaks out at night to try to {{pkmn|training|train}} Sprigatito's {{m|Leafage}} by the lake, though without success. Upon returning, she takes out a box from underneath her bed and opens it to reveal a pendant. Ann, having woken up without her noticing, approaches her and asks her about the pendant. Liko explains that it's a gift from [[Diana|her grandmother]], meant to work as a good-luck charm to keep her safe, though she doesn't feel ready to wear it yet. The next day, Liko is too distracted by her own thoughts to notice Ann pointing out an [[Brave Olivine|airship]] in the distance, instead expressing her envy towards how well Ann and Oshawott are coming along. Following Ann's advice, Liko starts trying to learn more about Sprigatito in order to understand her better and hopefully learn what they both want to do. On the roof, Liko tries to catch Sprigatito in her hands again and succeeds, although she, having a tendency to lose her footing on occasion, falls down onto the ground. They also continue their secret nightly training, though Sprigatito's fickle nature isn't making it easy. Meanwhile, [[Rising Volt Tacklers|a group of people]] searches around the school for her, albeit with little success.

Eventually, a school break arrives. Ann heads home to show off her Oshawott, while Liko plans to stay at the school. After seeing Ann off, she encounters a young man named [[Amethio]], who hands her a letter, saying it's from her grandmother and asking for her to bring her her precious pendant. Liko, feeling suspicious about the man, goes to her room to supposedly get ready. Feeling that something isn't right, she takes her pendant and climbs out the window to escape. Entering the room only moments later, Amethio sees that Liko is gone and alerts [[Explorers|his comrades]] to be on the lookout for her. One of them, [[Onia]], notices her, while a man named [[Zirc]] confronts her and calls out his {{p|Rhydon}}. Since Sprigatito isn't strong enough to fight Rhydon, Liko instead has her blind Rhydon with Leafage and then use her relaxing scent to put it to sleep. She flees onto a rooftop, but is cornered by Amethio, who demands that she hand over her pendant. Suddenly, [[Friede|a man]] swoops down from the sky on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, saying that he also has business with Liko. Amethio decides to settle things with a Pokémon battle, sending out his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} to confront Charizard and telling his comrades to stand back.

As the battle between the two {{t|Fire}} Pokémon commences, Liko, while thoroughly confused by everything that's going on, decides to get away in order to prevent the school from being caught in the crossfire. During her escape, she needs to jump over a gap between rooftops. She gathers her courage and takes the leap of faith, just as a {{m|Psycho Cut}} from Ceruledge is deflected by Charizard and sent careening towards her. Suddenly, her pendant starts to glow brightly, and she becomes surrounded by a green, hexagon-patterned sphere of energy, protecting her and suspending her mid-air.

[[File:HZ001 Title card.png|thumb|230px|Title card]]
* This is the first episode of the ''[[Liko and Roy's Departure]]'' chapter.
* The title text for this episode is shown over the background directly, instead of a separate [[title card]] segment. Hence, no one reads the title card for this episode.
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on a corner of the screen before and after the commercial break.
* This is the first main series episode:
** Where {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are not listed as protagonists, and the first main series episode where the [[Team Rocket trio]] are not listed as antagonists.
** To not feature a male protagonist in any capacity.

* [[Liko]]'s capture of {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} marks the first time:
** Where a female main character has obtained a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] since {{an|May}} {{pkmn2|caught}} her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', 885 episodes earlier.
** That a female main character has obtained her first Pokémon outside her home [[region]].
** That a main character has received a Grass-type first partner Pokémon as their first Pokémon.
** That a main character obtains a Pokémon in the first episode of a new series since {{an|Dawn}} obtained her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', 766 episodes earlier.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** {{m|Dynamic Punch}} has been used in the animated series since ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', 536 episodes earlier.
** A female main character has obtained a [[Pokédex]] since {{an|Serena}} received her second one in ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', 341 episodes earlier.
** A recurring character, who isn't a [[rival]], has officially obtained a {{type|Water}} first partner Pokémon outside its native region, not counting [[JNS01|temporary captures]].
* This episode introduces 11 named recurring [[List of animated series characters|characters]], the most such characters introduced in a single episode since ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', 1,228 episodes earlier, which also introduced 11 named recurring characters.
* This and the [[HZ002|next episode]] are the first two-part episode since ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', aired almost 11 years earlier.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Surskit}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since ''[[SM071|Dewpider Ascending!]]'', 223 episodes earlier.
** This episode also marks the first appearance of a {{p|Masquerain}} in the animated series since ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', 165 episodes earlier.
* As of this episode:
** A first partner Pokémon of all three type options has been obtained by a main character in the first episode of a new series at least once.
** All three types of the first partner Pokémon have been chosen by a female main character as their first Pokémon.
** The voice actors are listed in the credits in alphabetical order by their first names rather than their last names.
*** Additionally, this is the first time [[Sarah Natochenny]] is listed in the "Additional Voices" credits.
* The relationship of Liko and her Sprigatito throughout the episode is reminiscent of Ash and Pikachu's during the [[EP001|very first episode]] of the animated series, as both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s struggle to deal with their first partner Pokémon.
* The backpacks the other students are wearing are designed after the ones from [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
[[File:HZ001 Title card initial TV airing.png|thumb|230px|Title card for the one-hour special]]
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ002|next episode]].
** The end credits, the "To Be Continued" text, and the next episode preview were not present at the end of the episode.
** The title didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ001-HZ010)#HZ001 / HZ002 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the [[Brave Olivine]] flying through the air from the following episode.
* For the regular release of this episode:
** The {{pmin|Japan}}ese, {{pmin|Taiwan}}ese Mandarin, {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese, {{pmin|Mainland China|mainland Chinese}} Mandarin, and {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} releases use generic animated series music during the ending credits, with the credits appearing on an out-of-focus shot of the school as the background.
** The {{pmin|Korea}}n release uses the regular opening and ending themes ([[We Go]] and [[By Your Side]] at the very start (before the cold open) and the very end (after the next episode preview) of the episode.
** Other language releases use the instrumental version of [[Becoming Me]] as the ending theme (except {{pmin|South Asia}}n dubs which use the original song [[Boom Kaboom]]) with the regular animation sequence.
* {{p|Charizard}}'s voice is dubbed for the first time in this episode.
* Starting from this episode until ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', [[Nidothing]] and {{TP|Nidothing|Quaxly}} narrate the next episode previews.

===Errors===
* Before leaving Liko's dorm room, the white portion of [[Amethio]]'s hair is missing some of its triangle shapes.
* In the {{pmin|India|Hindi}} dub:
** Poliwhirl's cry with its English name is left undubbed, in contrast to the other Pokémon which had their cries dubbed with their [[List of Hindi Pokémon names|Hindi names]].
** Liko's grandmother is referred to as her दादी ''dādī'' (father's mother) instead of नानी ''nānī'' (mother's mother).
* In the Bengali dub, the audio of Liko reading the title card out loud is delayed, playing when Liko walks up to the school instead of when the title text is on-screen.

===Dub edits===
* The BBC release removes the shot of [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} jumping from the roof.
* In the {{pmin|India|Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali}} dubs, Liko reads the title out loud.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Croatia}}'''  with the airing of ''[[EP001|Pokémon, ja biram tebe!]]''.

==Pokémon video games==
Pokémon games in Croatia are sold in English. From the 1990s, Croatia was in the distribution network of the Austrian company Stadlbauer, until 2013. From 2016, games are sold by CD Media.<ref>[http://www.perfectly-nintendo.com/nintendo-cd-media-become-official-distributor-greece-cyprus-balkans/ Nintendo: CD Media to become the official distributor for Greece, Cyprus, the Balkans] on perfectly-nintendo.com</ref> On January 1, 2023, Croatia adopted the {{wp|Euro}} and entered the {{wp|Eurozone}}, this means that the Nintendo eShop could now accept Euros issued in Croatia as previously, the {{wp|Croatian kuna|kuna}} wasn't adapted for the eShop. This could also mean that Pokémon games and downloadable content could be purchased digitally there, without having to resort to physical copies or codes.<ref>[https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/economic-bulletin/focus/2023/html/ecb.ebbox202208_02~15fd36600a.en.html#:~:text=On%201%20January%202023%20Croatia,since%20Lithuania%20joined%20in%202015. Croatia adopts the euro on ECB.europa.eu]</ref>

==Pokémon animation==
The [[Pokémon animated series]] in Croatia was dubbed from [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] to [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] and aired on '''{{wp|Nova TV}}''' and '''{{wp|Mini TV}}''', respectively, from 2000 until around 2006. The other seasons were not dubbed until ''[[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]]'' aired on Nova TV in Croatian in 2012. All seasons of the animated series were dubbed by Project 6 Studio. Nothing beyond that had been released until the return of the animated series on July 1, 2021 with the release of ''[[S23|Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. However, during a short period of time after its TV release, the first six episodes of Pokémon: Black & White were sold on three separate DVDs by one2play, with each DVD containing two of those episodes in chronological order. All of the intros are dubbed in Croatian.

In Croatia, the animated series is available on [[Netflix]]: [[S01]] is available only in form of subtitles, even though the season was fully dubbed; seasons [[S23|23]] to [[S25|25]], [[M22]], and [[M23]] are the only dubbed contents on the platform.

On the [[Pokémon_TV#YouTube_channel|Pokémon TV YouTube channel]], [[S02|season 2]] from episode [[EP106]] onwards, as well as seasons [[S03|3]] to [[S06|6]], are currently dubbed available.

===Pokémon movies===
The [[M01|first movie]] was dubbed in Croatian with the title ''{{tt|Pokémon Prvi film|Pokémon The first Movie}}''. The special movie'' {{tt|Pokemon: Povratak Mevtvoa|Pokémon: Mewtwo returns}}'' aired as well. The [[M02|second movie]] has been dubbed with the title ''Pokémon 2000''. The [[M04|fourth movie]] is translated as ''{{tt|Pokémon Zauvijek: Celebi - Glas Šume|Pokémon Forever: Celebi - The Voice of the Forest}}''. The [[M06|sixth]] and the [[M07|seventh movies]] are named ''{{tt|Jirachi - Ispuni mi Želju|Jirachi - Fullfill my Desire}}'' and ''{{tt|Sudbina Deoxysa|Deoxys' Destiny}}'', respectively. None of the theme songs received a dub and remain in English, with the exception of [[M03]] and [[M22]]. No other movies had been made or released in the country until the showing of the Croatian subtitled version of {{DetPikMov}} in cinemas on May 16, 2019. Also, a Croatian dub of M22 was released on Netflix on September 1, 2020.
