Synopsis
A lone star in the sky shines greatly before being covered by a flurry of clouds that act as a transition to the Brave Olivine flying in the sky. At the back of the ship, the sun shines on Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult with their respective partners and Captain Pikachu. On beat with the music, a still image of each member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and their party is shown, starting with Liko and ending with Friede. Afterward, the series logo appears in front of a comet shooting across space. It then zooms out of Pagogo's eye as Liko holds it while standing in a field with Meowscarada, Hatterene, and Armarouge. Liko, Meowscarada, Roy, Skeledirge, Dot, Quaquaval, Ult, and Sableye jump together.
Friede's Mega Evolved Instructor Starmie appears before joining its Trainer and Charizard on a path in space. Roy's Lucario exchanges blows Master Mayonnaise's Hawlucha. At sunset, Amethio trains Ceruledge and Corviknight while Zirc, Onia, and their Pokémon watch. He then briefly turns to the camera before looking up, changing the focus to the White Zygarde. Liko and Armarouge walk together as she steps on a puddle. Roy, Ult, Lucario, and Sableye sit together, watching the cloudy sky. Dot and Gholdengo stand together as gust of wind blows her hair while the sun comes out. While the sky changes according to the time of day, a series of overlays appear – an Auspicious Armor, two hands with Mega Rings exchanging fist bumps, Nidothing's ears, someone holding a Gimmighoul Coin, a bunch of mochi filling the screen, someone holding a Strong Sphere, a cluster of Laquium crystals, a silhouette of Indi and Rubina in front of the Explorers logo, and finally the Black Rayquaza looking up and gazing straight at the camera. Another series of still images appear, this time featuring the allies of the Rising Volt Tacklers alongside their Pokémon, followed by the Explorers and their Pokémon.
On the wing deck, at Liko's command, Meowscarada moves in to attack, followed by Armarouge and Hatterene. Roy joins in with his own command for Skeledirge, Mega Lucario, and Kilowattrel. Dot is next, with Quaquaval, Tinkaton, and Gholdengo. Ult goes next with Sableye and Mega Dragonite before Cap rushes at the camera with Volt Tackle. The camera then pans over Liko, Roy, Dot, Ult, Ann, Nemona, and Penny as it changes into all their Pokémon standing together. Spinel's Umbreon and Meowscarada battle each other. The Laquium Core is shown. The eighteen Terastallized Pokémon involved in the purification of the Laquium appear one by one as they fly to the sky over Laqua, later showing as one group when the camera zooms out. Liko is clutching a Poké Ball before a series of flashbacks of her appears, starting with her as a young child looking to the side, then in her Indigo Academy uniform briefly turning to the front, and finally in the present day looking directly at the camera. Liko, with Dot, Ult, Quaquaval, and Sableye behind her, faces Meowscarada, with Roy, Skeledirge, and Cap behind the Magician Pokemon. The Brave Olivine then flies toward the horizon.
