Tupp, Rapp and Zipp from Team Skull are in an alleyway when Tupp spots Gladion walking past along with his Umbreon and decide to go and take his Umbreon. They confront Gladion and tell him to stop but Gladion keeps on walking which leaves Rapp and Zipp annoyed at his attitude and demand he leave his Umbreon with them which gets Gladion's attention and he glares at them which leaves Tupp to declare he battles them and sends out Salandit and Zipp and Rapp send out Zubat and Garbodor. Gladion takes them on and sends out his Midnight Form Lycanroc. On seeing Lycanroc, Tupp, Rapp and Zipp nervously realize that he is a strong trainer and decide to go for Lycanroc and order their Pokémon to attack but before they can launch their attacks, Gladion orders Lycanroc to use Stone Edge which knocks out Salandit, Zubat and Garbodor with one move. They recall their Pokémon and retreat vowing to make Gladion sorry. Gladion recalls Lycanroc and continues on his way, passing Team Rocket who witnessed his battle and realizing how powerful his Lycanroc is decide to steal it as James wonders who that trainer was.
Outside Professor Kukui's house, Ash is training with his Pokémon with Rockruff battling against Rowlet. Rowlet goes to use Tackle which Ash orders Rockruff to dodge which it does causing Rowlet's foot to get stuck in the sand. As Rowlet struggles to get free, Rockruff uses Rock Throw but Rowlet manages to free itself and uses Leafage to counter the Rock Throw before silently appearing behind Rockruff who hits Rockruff with Tackle. Ash tells Rockruff to take a break and has Litten come in to battle Rowlet but Litten notices Rowlet coming at it with Tackle and gets ready to attack only for Rockruff to jump over Litten to hit Rowlet with its own Tackle. Seeing that Rockruff is fired up to battle, Ash has Rowlet take a break and Rowlet goes over to Pikachu before falling asleep. Rockruff and Litten start their battle with Rockruff using Rock Throw and Litten using Scratch which hits Rockruff before using Fire Fang which also hits Rockruff who strikes back with Rock Throw which Litten dodges. Ash decides to end the battle and tells Litten that its Fire Fang was the best and tells Rockruff he could feel how determined it was as Rotom notes that its Rockruff is more powerful. Rockruff rubs Ash affectionately as they head to school.
During their lunch break, Ash and his classmates watch as Charjabug, Togedemaru, Steenee, Pikachu, Popplio, Snowy and Turtonator play in the classroom having formed a train. Lana notes that it is cute as Lillie sees that Snowy is having a fun time. Sophocles asks if they heard about a strong trainer who arrived on the Island, Mallow says that she heard about him from a customer. Ash asks Mallow what the customer said and Mallow mentions that it a guy with a Midnight Form Lycanroc which Ash finds cool as Lana asks if Midnight Form is just one of its forms which Rotom confirms as Sophocles says that he also heard that the trainer has an Umbreon. Ash says he would love to battle that trainer hopes it will happen some day. In town, a crowd has gathered to watch a battle as a Blastoise is knocked into a fountain as its trainer who is a Sailor who is battling Gladion wonders how much power his Lycanroc can have as Blastoise emerges from the fountain, still able to battle. Blastoise becomes nervous as the Sailor tells it to remain strong. Nearby, Ash is doing some shopping and checks with Rotom on what they need to buy as Pikachu notices the battle taking place which grabs Ash's attention and they go down for a closer look. They arrive as the Sailor instructs Blastoise to use Skull Bash but Gladion has Lycanroc use Counter which strikes Blastoise hard, knocking it out.
Watching the battle, Rotom notes how heavy Blastoise is yet Lycanroc beat it easily which Ash finds awesome and as Rotom takes pictures of Lycanroc, Rotom tells Ash that as Gladion has Lycanroc and Umbreon, he must be the mysterious trainer. Ash runs over to Gladion as he recalls Lycanroc and introduces himself and calls his battle incredible and asks for a battle as someone calls Gladion's name. They both look and see Lillie arrive with Snowy and Hobbes. Lillie runs over to Gladion, surprised that the mysterious trainer was her older brother which surprises Ash and Rotom. Gladion sees that Lillie can touch Pokémon which he is glad to see as Lillie introduces him to Snowy as Hobbes tells Gladion that she has been raising Snowy since it was an egg and this is the first time a Pokémon has been in her charge. Gladion tells Lillie to take care of Snowy and goes to leave but Hobbes asks him to come with them to the mansion but Gladion says not this time as Ash tries to get Gladion to have a battle as he wants to become a Pokémon Master as Gladion notices Ash's Z-Ring which Ash says he got directly from Tapu Koko which surprises Gladion as Lillie tells him that Ash has even battled Tapu Koko. Gladion tells Ash that he'll consider having a battle and leaves as Ash tells him that he is staying at Professor Kukui's house.
