HZ041: Difference between revisions

The episode begins with [[Dot]] following {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} around the [[Brave Olivine]]. It reaches the door to the kitchen, and bangs on it a couple of times with it's hammer. As the {{pkmn|category|Metalsmith Pokémon}} starts heavily weeping, Dot gets a text from someone, but decides to ignore it to focus on Tinkatink. [[Murdock]] opens the door, letting Tinkatink in to Dot's dismay. [[Friede]] and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} pick up the one who contacted Dot. She is annoyed that Dot read the message but ignored it. Murdock chases Tinkatink around the kitchen trying to get his frying pan back from her. They all run out of the kitchen, Murdock leaving his [[Rotom Phone]] in there as texts from the same person come in. Annoyed by not receiving her regular report, the person sends Murdock several angry {{p|Primeape}} faces. The chase continues outside the observation deck, [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] chasing Tinkatink too. They all spot her on the wing deck, running into {{an|Terapagos}} and being sent flying.

Luckily when Friede arrives, Tinkatink is caught by the {{fd|Lycanroc|Midnight Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} belonging to the person sending all those texts, who is revealed to be Murdock's sister [[Blanca]], Dot's mom, surprising Liko and Roy. Blanca claims that she is just popping in, and scolds Murdock and Dot for not responding to her texts. She explains to Murdock that his check-ins have been getting more and more brief so she decided to swing by in person. Blanca says that Friede was kind enough to give her a ride and as she goes on about how smooth Charizard's skin is, Lycanroc stops her from going off topic, something she often tends to do. After introducing the Wolf Pokémon, Blanca wonders what she was talking about, to Dot and Murdock's annoyance. She remembers that she came to pick up Dot since her "trial period" is over. Blanca tells Liko and Roy that Dot is only on the Brave Olivine as a trial, and as she turns to Dot, she sees that Dot has since left. Blanca doesn't sweat it, saying that she and her daughter can catch up when they're home, to Roy and Liko's shock.

Everyone gathers on the wing deck to watch the Pokémon battle between mother and daughter. Blanca says that battles speak just as loud as words, so Dot will be able to express how she feels. Quaxly is determined to fight, though Dot thinks that the idea of battling her mom is pointless. At the same time feels like she shouldn't run away, and with that, both Trainers pull their hair back, and the battle begins. Quaxly starts with {{m|Water Gun}}. As Lycanroc dodges Quaxly's back-to-back Water Guns, Blanca says that Murdock shares how even on the ship she is cooped up in her room. While Dot admits that she's not wrong, she shares how she has made friends and gotten to enjoy the outside world. Blanca asks Dot why she became a Pokémon Trainer, which she wasn't interested in before. Dot tells her that ever since meeting Quaxly, and later Tinkatink, it felt more exciting to be a Trainer. Lycanroc closes in, prompting Quaxly to strike with a close-range {{m|Pound}}. Lycanroc takes the hit and nearly knocks Quaxly overboard with {{m|Counter}}, Dot catching him just in time. Dot tells her mother that she can do everything that was out of reach from her in her room, which Blanca is excited to hear. Quaxly's Water Gun and Lycanroc's {{m|Rock Throw}} collide in a plume of smoke. Quaxly charges at Lycanroc, who blows him back with Counter again. Dot wonders if this was hopeless from the start, but, as a Trainer, decides to work less like an individual and more like a unit. Dot has Quaxly aim for Lycanroc's legs with Pound. Lycanroc takes Pound, but this time, Quaxly dodges Counter and knocks it off it's feet with a powerful kick. Dot is surprised as Quaxly blows Lycanroc back with another kick. Murdock catches Lycanroc, who is knocked out from Quaxly's new {{m|Low Kick}}. As Tinkatink and Quaxly celebrate, Dot requests that Blanca lets her stay with the Rising Volt Tacklers. Blanca is moved to tears, having just that be what she wanted Dot to say. With that, Blanca lets her daughter stay on the ship with her friends, which relieves Liko and Roy.
