Stationed near [[Tetsuron Town]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] patch up the holes in the [[Brave Olivine]] made by Orthworm. {{p|Tinkatink}} runs off with [[Dot]] following behind. [[Friede]] and [[Murdock]] see this, the latter tearing up at how Dot has grown up, prompting [[Orla]] to tease him. [[Liko's Sprigatito]] is laying down next to her trainer, who is giving {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} and {{an|Terapagos}} a bath. [[Liko]] wants to give Sprigatito a bath as well, but she just walks away. Just then, she sees a house with cat ear-like windows in the nearby forest.

Just then, she sees a house with cat ear-like windows in the nearby forest.


Just as Liko finishes washing her Pokémon friends, [[Roy]] comes over wanting to battle, which she accepts. {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} starts off with {{m|Ember}}, which Sprigatito dodges. As she is about to use {{m|Quick Attack}} however, Fuecoco keeps her back with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Sprigatito uses {{m|Scratch}} to cut through Fuecoco's following Ember. Terapagos and Hatenna see the battle and come out onto the wing deck. Liko commands a big {{m|Leafage}}, but as Fuecoco dodges, Hatenna and Terapagos end up in Sprigatito's line of fire, prompting Liko to shield them. Getting blown down, Liko lands on her wrist, injuring it to Sprigatito's horror. Sprigatito tries to apologize, and her trainer says it's fine. Roy takes Liko to the infirmary to have [[Mollie]] look at the injury. As Mollie patches up Liko's sprained hand, a guilt stricken Sprigatito can only watch before walking away from the door. Soon, Sprigatito decides to head over to the house she spotted earlier. Mollie gives Liko a brace for her left hand and informs her not to use it to hold anything heavy. After reassuring Terapagos and Hatenna, Liko notices that Sprigatito is gone.

Manya shares with Liko that she is a Pokémon Breeder and shares her love for cat Pokémon. Liko asks how Manya knows her, and she says that she never forgets the Pokémon that head out into the world, or the people who pick them as their partners. Liko becomes excited to know that her Sprigatito was raised here. Manya says that she also helps with helping Indigo Academy students find their partner Pokémon, and she remembers Liko particularly well. Manya shares how Liko's Sprigatito was unique with its fickle and carefree nature, even more so than the rest of its peers, and had trouble fitting in. Liko hears that Sprigatito didn't look to happy when Manya spotted her earlier, saying that she suddenly ran off. Manya tells Liko that it's rare that a Pokémon leaves its partner and comes to her place by itself. Manya shares a sad truth about a Pokémon and its trainer not getting along and having to stop being partners. Liko is horrified to hear this and insists that she and Sprigatito are doing fine before going off to look for her partner.

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.

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 begin 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.
