Blurb

With Ohara and Aliquis working hard on their assignment, Hohma is left wondering how he can catch up to them when he comes up with a great idea: creating a piece on the infamous Team Star!

Together with Quaxly, Hohma decides to get the inside scoop and infiltrate one of the group’s bases.

Plot

Hohma writes an article about Aliquis' lose streak (of 3 losses in a row) to Nemona for the journalism club. The club members decline the article stating "I don't think we should focus on that part of the match". A journalism club member has an idea of doing an exclusive on Team Star, specificly the fighting crew: Caph Squad. A journalism club member says that if they do get that article they will be the talk of the town.

Aliquis apologizes to Ohara about lashing out the other day. Ohara also states that she was out of line iswell and the real person, or well Pokémon that Aliquis should apologize to is Fuecoco. Ohara and Aliquis discuss the project while Hohma is sitting by himself, lost in his thoughts. Ohara mentions that maybe they should put someone in the video. Hohma gets the idea to put Team Star in the video due to the journalism clubs comments.

Hohma goes to the Caph Squad base, that's where he meets the team star member Carmen. Hohma lies saying that he want to join team star.

Carmen brings Hohma into the base. While Carmen goes to find Eri she leave Hohma on his own, he's on orders to stay where he is and to not touch anything. Hohma sneaks into the tent that houses the Caph Star-Mobile. He takes photos of it. Hohma gets busted by Eri.

Carmen gets angry at Hohma because he didn't have permission to go in there. Eri tells her that "There no need to get so upset" and introduces herself. Hohma, Hohma's Quaxly, Eri and Eri's Annihilape begin training, Hohma finds it hard to keep up. They begin with running and then move on to poses.

A Green Plumage Squawkabilly walks into the tent. The Revaroom connected to the Star-Mobile gets angry then confused. We cut back to Hohma who falls to the ground in exhaustion. Suddenly Quaxly evolves into Quaxwell. Just as Hohma is about to speak, Revaroom's cry can be heard from the tent. The Squawkabilly flees the tent. The Star-Mobile goes out of control. Eri runs to help, she feed the Revaroom a lum berry which cures the Revaroom's confusion.

Hohma leaves the base. He deletes his footage of team star. Hohma is sad because "still no scoop and still a total nobody". Quaxwell does a dance for Hohma to cheer him up.

Hohma is now back at school. Aliquis states that iono has not replied to there request of her being in the video. Hohma suggest that they make a cool video that she would want to be apart of, something that would go viral. Hohma suggest that they included people from all across Paldea. They plan to start filming first thing the next day. That is where the episode ends.
