As Liko looks around, she firmly believes she knows Sprigatito better than anyone; she is probably somewhere sunny with a great view. Liko knows this when she spots Sprigatito on the roof of [[Manya's house]]. Sprigatito also spots her, but turns away in guilt upon seeing her brace. Despite this, Liko tells Sprigatito that it wasn't her fault. Liko also tells Sprigatito that how she found out that this is where she grew up. Liko wonders if Sprigatito is mad at her when she walks away. Liko thinks Sprigatito must be feeling sulky, offering to get some matcha cake for it on the way back. Sprigatito hops through the window, Liko trying to get her to come back to the ship so they can finish their battle with Roy, or have some snacks first. Liko gets distracted by two other Sprigatito making scent on pillows before continuing to follow her Sprigatito. As Hatenna and Terapagos arrive at Manya's house, Liko catches Sprigatito and questions how it's feeling. Not wanting Sprigatito to quit on their partnership, Liko desperately tries to convince her to stay. However, Sprigatito scratches Liko's hand and run away, leaving her in a state of dread. Reminded of how Sprigatito was acting when they first met at the Indigo Academy, Liko starts to believe that her partner doesn't like her anymore. Manya comes over and invites Liko inside for tea and sweets. Liko recognizes the flavor of the tea as matcha. She tastes it and shakes at the bitter taste, but finds it relaxing too. Manya offers Liko sweets too, but she declines. Noticing Liko's uneasiness, Manya notes that Sprigatito used to make that same face. | As Liko looks around, she firmly believes she knows Sprigatito better than anyone; she is probably somewhere sunny with a great view.

Manya shares Sprigatito's story with Liko. She would rest on her favorite spot on the roof until she would get bored. Seeing the other Sprigatito playing together, she'd want no part of it. This was until Sprigatito saved one of its friends from a fall with her unusually powerful Leafage. After this, she became popular among the other cat Pokémon, and would actually leave the roof to play with them. However, one day while Sprigatito was using her Leafage to pick Oran Berries from the trees, her friends were snatched up by a {{p|Spidops}} that would come around and cause trouble with its traps every now and then. Sprigatito managed to use Leafage to drive it off, but accidentally ended up hurting its friends in the process. Sadly with this, the others | Manya shares Sprigatito's story with Liko.

Sprigatito managed to use Leafage to drive it off, but accidentally ended up hurting its friends in the process. Sadly with this, the others began to fear and avoid Sprigatito, sparking a long-lasting repression of using Leafage again. As her friends found trainers and left Manya's, Sprigatito stayed on that roof, unable to let go of her guilt. Just then, Liko thinks back to Sprigatito having trouble using Leafage when they first met, figuring out that she was repressing herself because of what happened with Spidops. Liko looks at her brace, realizing that accidently hurting her with Leafage made Sprigatito think that she would fear her, like all her friends did. Manya says that it was a relief that Liko and Sprigatito were able to meet in her interview for the Indigo Academy. Sure enough, Manya was there too, and she knew that Liko would be the perfect partner for Sprigatito seeing how the Grass Cat Pokémon couldn't stop gazing at her. | ||
Finally taking in the pain Sprigatito carries, Liko goes to find her partner. Sprigatito arrives at the [[Oran Berry]] trees, making her feel bad again. Liko finds her, and just as Sprigatito is about to avoid her again, she steps in front of her partner and catches her. Liko then tickles Sprigatito before the Grass Cat Pokémon prepares to scratch her again. However, Liko doesn't mind if Sprigatito scratches her, reminding Sprigatito of everything they have been through together since they met. Everything new and scary to Liko felt possible to overcome because she had Sprigatito with her. Liko tells Sprigatito that she wants to face the future with her partner by her side. As Sprigatito retracts her claws, Liko embraces her. | Finally taking in the pain Sprigatito carries, Liko goes to find her partner.
