On a nearby island, {{MTR}} spots the group traveling to Akala Island through his binoculars and quickly alerts [[Jessie]].

Ash and | Ash and his friends arrive at [[Paniola Ranch|Kiawe's family farm]], where Misty and Brock are immediately impressed by the farm's facility. They first admire some {{p|Miltank}} in the stables before venturing off to the {{p|Mudbray}} pen. Misty is surprised to see Mudbray eating mud before copping a face full of it. Brock laughs at her, before he also gets spat on by a Mudbray. Later, Ash and Kiawe start some farm work when [[Mimo]] offers everyone a cone of ice cream to enjoy. Misty takes one lick and is immediately impressed by its amazing flavor. Psyduck re-emerges from its Poké Ball, eager to try some of the ice cream. Misty offers it some on her finger, but Psyduck instead jumps up and takes the larger portion. Misty is immediately angry, and then calls Psyduck pathetic after it suffers a brain freeze. | ||

As Kiawe is about to send out one of his Pokémon to fend off Kangaskhan, Brock alerts everyone to Kangaskhan's empty pouch. Sophocles is first to spot the baby Kangaskhan hiding behind its mother’s leg, though Brock notices it has a swollen leg. Brock steps forward, telling the others to stay back, as he goes to approach the Kangaskhan duo. He pulls out a Poké Ball and calls on his {{TP|Brock|Comfey}} to assist. Ash is surprised to see that Brock now has a Comfey, and Brock explains that [[Nurse Joy]] gave it to him as a thank you for [[SM102|his earlier assistance]]. Brock continues to approach, and his calm tone and Comfey's [[move]]s help to calm the aggressive mother. Brock soon reaches the injured infant and goes on to treat her injured leg. With her leg now bandaged, the baby Kangaskhan promptly climbs into her mother's pouch. The Kangaskhan mother and baby then return to the wild.

Brock reaches out for Olivia's hand and formally introduces himself to her and then proposes that they get married. As Brock explains that they're meeting was fate, Misty pulls him away by the ear and explains that Brock had actively searched for Olivia. Everyone continues to trek up the volcano, and Olivia explains that she has more important [[Island Kahuna]] duties to attend. Mallow requests a [[photography|photo]] with the Island Kahuna and Olivia agrees. Everyone poses and Rotom takes the snapshot, but when Rotom reveals the photo, it also includes a familiar trio of {{tc|Hiker}}s. Olivia explains that the Hikers now patrol Wela Volcano Park, though have a bad habit of {{wp|photobombing}} sightseers' holiday snaps. Brock looks over the photo and is irritated to notice that one of the Hikers' heads is covering up his face. The trio of Hikers soon leave the scene just as quickly as they arrived. As Brock enters an angry tirade, Kiawe tells Olivia that Brock is a {{pkmn|battle}}r and is the former [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]].

Blurb
Brock and Misty are having quite a busy vacation in Alola! Ash and the Pokémon School gang admire Brock’s culinary skills, boosted by delicious ingredients from Kiawe’s family farm. They decide to visit the farm on Akala Island—mostly because Brock has been determined to meet the beautiful Kahuna Olivia!
Like many of Brock’s crushes, Olivia is taken aback…but the two are soon bonding over their shared love of Rock types, and when Team Rocket attacks, they respond with a paired-up Z-Move! Brock and Misty’s visit ends with a beautiful fireworks display and promises to return to Alola for more vacation fun!
Plot
Ash, his classmates, and his old friends Misty and Brock enjoy a picnic lunch, prepared by Brock, by the sea. Rotom updates its own data on cooking, while Mallow notes that she would be happy to add the recipes to Aina's Kitchen menu. Brock admits that Kiawe's family's cheese was the special ingredient. Kiawe explains that his family's cheese is the best on Akala Island. And with the mention of Akala, Brock explodes with enthusiasm and whips out his blue book, he then flips to his pages on Olivia. Lana frowns at Brock's handbook on women, while Misty admits he was intensely studying it while on the plane from Kanto. Brock begins to pack up the group's setup, he then declares that they'll visit Kiawe's farm and hopes to catch Olivia during the visit. Kiawe explains that Olivia travels a lot and may not be there, but Brock becomes hyped and suggests it will then be a fateful encounter. On the other hand, Sophocles is looking forward to another scoop of homemade Moomoo Milk ice cream. Misty asks how they will reach Akala Island, and with a smirk on his face Ash has an idea. The group set off for Akala Island on board their Ultra Guardian Ride Pokémon.
During the voyage Lana decides to call out Sandy and Popplio to enjoy a swim. As the two Pokémon play in the water, Psyduck makes one of its trademark uncalled appearances, but Misty quickly recalls it to its Poké Ball, as it can't swim. On a nearby island, Meowth spots the group traveling to Akala Island through his binoculars and quickly alerts Jessie. She declares that they must catch Pikachu for Giovanni, but Meowth explains that they still need to fix up their mecha. Jessie shouts at James and Wobbuffet to get the machine working faster.
Ash and his friends arrive at Kiawe's family farm, where Misty and Brock are immediately impressed by the farm's facility. They first admire some Miltank in the stables before venturing off to the Mudbray pen. Misty is surprised to see Mudbray eating mud before copping a face full of it. Brock laughs at her, before he also gets spat on by a Mudbray. Later, Ash and Kiawe start some farm work when Mimo offers everyone a cone of ice cream to enjoy. Misty takes one lick and is immediately impressed by its amazing flavor. Psyduck re-emerges from its Poké Ball, eager to try some of the ice cream. Misty offers it some on her finger, but Psyduck instead jumps up and takes the larger portion. Misty is immediately angry, and then calls Psyduck pathetic after it suffers a brain freeze.
The Miltank and Mudbray's cries alert Kiawe and the others to an intruder, a wild Kangaskhan. Rotom's Pokédex entry offers some insight into the Parent Pokémon's protective nature. As Kiawe is about to send out one of his Pokémon to fend off Kangaskhan, Brock alerts everyone to Kangaskhan's empty pouch. Sophocles is first to spot the baby Kangaskhan hiding behind its mother’s leg, though Brock notices it has a swollen leg. Brock steps forward, telling the others to stay back, as he goes to approach the Kangaskhan duo. He pulls out a Poké Ball and calls on his Comfey to assist. Ash is surprised to see that Brock now has a Comfey, and Brock explains that Nurse Joy gave it to him as a thank you for his earlier assistance. Brock continues to approach, and his calm tone and Comfey's moves help to calm the aggressive mother. Brock soon reaches the injured infant and goes on to treat her injured leg. With her leg now bandaged, the baby Kangaskhan promptly climbs into her mother's pouch. The Kangaskhan mother and baby then return to the wild. Just as everyone is admiring Brock's professionalism and skills as a Doctor, Brock's attention returns to meeting Olivia.
The group decide to ascend Wela Volcano in the hopes of meeting Olivia, but Brock is increasingly becoming frantic and emotional as the search goes on. Olivia soon spots the group and rushes towards them, tripping on a stone in the process. Brock reaches out for Olivia's hand and formally introduces himself to her and then proposes that they get married. As Brock explains that they're meeting was fate, Misty pulls him away by the ear and explains that Brock had actively searched for Olivia. Everyone continues to trek up the volcano, and Olivia explains that she has more important Island Kahuna duties to attend. Mallow requests a photo with the Island Kahuna and Olivia agrees. Everyone poses and Rotom takes the snapshot, but when Rotom reveals the photo, it also includes a familiar trio of Hikers. Olivia explains that the Hikers now patrol Wela Volcano Park, though have a bad habit of photobombing sightseers' holiday snaps. Brock looks over the photo and is irritated to notice that one of the Hikers' heads is covering up his face. The trio of Hikers soon leave the scene just as quickly as they arrived. As Brock enters an angry tirade, Kiawe tells Olivia that Brock is a battler and is the former Pewter City Gym Leader. Brock, with a glint in his eye, adds that he was a Rock-type specialist. Olivia is instantly interested and offers Brock a match, which he gladly accepts.
Brock sends out his faithful Sudowoodo to battle against Olivia's Lycanroc. Olivia makes the first move and has Lycanroc fire a Rock Slide. Sudowoodo swats the projectiles away with a Hammer Arm. Olivia is impressed by Brock's performance and has Lycanroc use Double Team followed by Accelerock. Sudowoodo uses Feint Attack to quickly locate the real Lycanroc amongst its duplicates and manages to land a blow. Lycanroc retaliates with Drill Run, but Sudowoodo is still standing. Olivia is astounded by Sudowoodo's resilience and asks Brock to show her more of his techniques.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket uses the opportunity to grab some of the group's Pokémon with their mecha's extendable Meowth-headed arms. Team Rocket launch into their motto and soon try to leave the area. However, Olivia's Lycarnoc hits the mecha with a Rock Slide from behind. Brock has Sudowoodo strike the robot with a Low Kick, immediately infuriating the Rocket trio. As Meowth attempts to fire a powerful beam from the mecha's head, Olivia prepares to use a Z-Move to deal with the troublemakers. Brock grabs a hold of Olivia’s hand, and together the pair pass on the Z-Power to Lycanroc to perform Continental Crush. The attack is unusually love heart-shaped, but Meowth manages to hold off the attack. Suddenly Stufful and its mother Bewear arrive on the scene. The distraction causes Meowth to lose focus and the mecha is slowly crushed by Continental Crush. The Pokémon are immediately freed, and Pikachu uses Iron Tail to free Ash and his friends. Eventually, the mecha explodes, but Bewear manages to rescue Team Rocket from another blast off and flees Wela Volcano.
Back on Melemele Island, Ash, his friends and Olivia join Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet to watch some fireworks. Misty and Brock thank Ash and declare their Alola vacation an unforgettable time. Ash declares that he will continue to study Pokémon in the hopes of achieving his dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master. Misty and Brock are not surprised by Ash's ambition, declaring they know each other too well after such a long time. Misty then declares her dream is to continue training Water Pokémon and to make Cerulean Gym the world's best Gym. Misty and Ash then agree to a Gym challenge the next time they meet. Brock, Misty, and Ash put their hands in a circle and lift them out in celebration.

Trivia
- Poké Problem: What is the wild Pokémon that came to our ranch in today's episode?
- Host: Kiawe
- Choices: Growlithe, Kangaskhan, Garchomp, Seismitoad
- Answer: Kangaskhan
- The English dub was released on Google Play on April 10, 2019, 17 days before the episode aired in the United States.
- Kiawe, Mallow, Lillie, and Ash narrate the preview for the next episode.
- The pose Brock and Olivia make when using Continental Crush is a reference to the Erupting Burning Finger Sekiha Love-Love Tenkyoken from the anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam. The mecha Team Rocket uses is a reference to the Dark Gundam from the same series.
- Coincidentally, this is the second time in the anime where Mobile Fighter G Gundam is referenced in an episode where Brock and Misty make guest appearances, the first occurring in Alola, Kanto!.
- Stufful appearing riding on a toy Alolan Exeggutor is a reference to Odate Buta from the anime series Yatterman.
- This episode marks the first time Brock has obtained a new Pokémon since his Happiny, 538 episodes ago.
- Music from I Choose You! is used as background music.
- Brock and Misty read the Who's That Pokémon? segment in the dub.
Errors
- After the Hikers photobomb Rotom's group photo, the Poké Ball design on Ash's hat is missing.
- At the end of Brock and Olivia's execution of Continental Crush, when adding "in love", Olivia's mouth moves, though she doesn't speak.
- This is corrected in the English dub, in which both Brock and Olivia say "crush on you".
