 On their way to [[Artazon]] for [[Roy]]'s [[Terastal Training]] battle against [[Brassius]], [[Liko]], Roy, and [[Dot]] make a brief stop for Roy to do some {{pkmn|training}} with {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, though in a moment of passion, Fuecoco's series of overenthusiastic {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}s ends up collapsing the ground underneath him. Eventually, though, the trio safely arrives in Artazon, where they find the streets bustling with people and Pokémon. From [[Hassel]], who is setting up a sign, they learn that a yearly art festival is currently taking place, with Brassius working as its director. After seeing the unveiling of this year's festival's centerpiece, the [[Black Rayquaza]] statue that Brassius was [[HZ010|previously working on]], Roy asks for Hassel to take them to Brassius for his Terastal Training battle. Hassel leads them to the town's battle court, where Brassius is working on his latest sculpture. When he and Hassel greet each other, Liko is surprised to learn that the two are actually friends, with Hassel having acted as Brassius's mentor and helped him to get out of a slump. Another surprise appears in the form of Liko's father [[Alex]], whom Brassius had invited go the festival due to his work with picture books. Roy tries to challenge Brassius, but while the [[Gym Leader]] is curious to see how much Roy has improved since they last fought, he refuses for now, as he needs to finish his sculpture first. When Roy keeps asking for a battle right away, [[Nemona]] suddenly appears and happily agrees to battle him, finally bring able to do so without an interruption.
-Taking their places at the battle court, Nemona chooses to use her {{p|Pawmot}} and to not use Terastallization in order to allow Roy to not break the Terastal Training rules. Roy has Fuecoco use Stomping Tantrum, which Pawmot dodges and counters with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Fuecoco follows up with {{m|Disarming Voice}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}, both of which hit their mark. A [[rain]] starts to fall, but Roy, completely focused on the battle, does not notice this, instead ordering Fuecoco to use Stomping Tantrum again. This time, Pawmot dodges the attack with {{m|Dig}}. When the {{pkmn|category|Hands-On Pokémon}} resurfaces, Roy orders a Flamethrower, which ends up fizzling out in the falling rain, giving Nemona the chance to order a {{m|Double Shock}}, which is enough to knock Fuecoco out. It is not until Roy goes to pick up his [[Fainting|fainted]] partner that he notices the rain and realizes why Flamethrower failed. He tries to ask Nemona for another battle, claiming the rain was the only reason he lost, but Brassius says that he will never win if he continues battling this way, declaring that until he can find out what he's missing, he can never master Terastallization, and putting their battle on indefinite hold. Hassel suggest the children make art for the festival as a change of pace, with Alex specifying that this year's theme is creating art with Pokémon. While Roy is initially reluctant, he eventually agrees after seeing Fuecoco watching Brassius's sculpture.

While Roy is initially reluctant, he eventually agrees after seeing Fuecoco watching Brassius's sculpture.
 At the [[Artazon Gym]], the children are provided with materials for their own art projects. Liko gets the idea to use Pokémon [[footprint]]s to make a painting, Dot borrows [[Roy's Wattrel]] for a mechanical project inspired by {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}'s hammer-making, and Roy gets inspired by a {{p|Charizard}} painting to make a clay sculpture of Fuecoco's idol. However, Roy is not satisfied with his sculpture, which then also starts falling apart. Brassius approaches him and tells him to remember that anything within his reach could be a clue to how to create art. At first, Roy fails to understand what that's supposed to mean, but when Fuecoco accidentally burns one of the sculpture's wings and makes it hard, he remembers the festival's theme of working together with Pokémon, making [[Move|Pokémon moves]] another thing he can use. As he and Fuecoco complete their sculpture, he also understands that using things within his reach as hints can also be applied for battles. Later, the children present their art projects to the others: Nemona has created a carving of Pawmot, Liko and her Pokémon have created a painting of {{p|Arboliva}}, Dot has constructed a miniature electric ferris wheel featuring Tinkatink's hammers, and Roy presents his Charizard sculpture, which he finishes by having Fuecoco ignite its eyes, mouth, hands, and tail. Roy's finished sculpture makes Brassius realize that Roy understood his advice and declares that he'll be waiting for him at the battle court.
