As [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] decide to begin their counterattack against the thief who took Liko's pendant, Dot thanks {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} for being with her. Friede pulls out a {{i|Poké Ball}} and offers it to Dot, much to Liko and Roy's surprise, as they thought that she already owned Quaxly. Dot admits that she wasn't interested in being a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but has made up her mind to be its partner. She throws the Poké Ball, though so poorly that Quaxly has to jump at it to get {{pkmn2|caught}}.

With the culprit behind Liko's pendant still on the run, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] decide to split up in order to find them before they manage to get away. Wondering how the culprit might make their escape, a billboard advertising a leaving cruise prompts them to head to the docks to intercept the ship, though they are too late to get onboard. Friede manages to reach the ferry with his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, being greeted by a [[Trainer (HZ016)|mysterious man]] who sends out a {{p|Bisharp}}. Friede believes he's found the culprit and sends [[Captain Pikachu]] out to battle Bisharp. Meanwhile, the other members, barring [[Ludlow]], tell the children to stay put. As they head out to search, Liko explains about her pendant to Dot and how it's brought them all together. Suddenly, {{p|Arboliva}}'s Ancient Poké Ball starts shining, making them realize that her pendant must be nearby. They split to pinpoint the location, with Quaxly soon leading dot aboard a docked cargo ship.

Backed up into a corner, Dot has Quaxly use {{m|Water Gun}} in the air, which alerts Liko and Roy to her location. As the cargo ship is about to leave, Roy jumps on, and Liko, though almost falling behind, jumps for Roy's hand at the last second. Spinel has Magneton to use {{m|Electro Ball}} on Quaxly and expresses his disappointment in Dot, having believed her to be a capable Trainer. Before he can have his Pokémon finish the pair off, {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} slams into Magneton with {{m|Quick Attack}}, Liko and Roy making it to Dot's position to give her a hand. Based on his words, Liko realizes that Spinel is a member of the [[Explorers]] and the one who took her pendant. Spinel, though impressed with Liko, threatens to erase her memories again, but Roy steps in and has {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} use {{m|Ember}} to drive Beheeyem away. After some encouragement from Roy and Dot, Liko confidently stands up to Spinel, standing together with her two friends and all three of their partners against Beheeyem and Magneton. Meanwhile, [[Mollie]] contacts Friede about the cargo ship leaving with sightings of the kids nearby. Standing by to receive word of the ship's heading, Friede can only hope that Liko is okay.

Back on the cargo ship, Spinel orders Beheeyem and Magneton to use a {{m|Psychic}}-Electro Ball combo attack, which hits Quaxly. Formulating an idea of how to deal with an attack like this, Liko orders Sprigatito to use {{m|Leafage}}, causing Spinel's Pokémon to become blinded for a moment and their combined attack to fail. Liko follows up by having Dot join her in going for Beheeyem, using Quick Attack and Water Gun to overwhelm the {{pkmn|category|Cerebral Pokémon}}. Spinel orders Magneton to ascend, avoiding an Ember from Fuecoco. Roy counters by bringing out his {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} and has it use {{m|Peck}}. In the process, Wattrel steps on Fuecoco's head, angering it as it launches another Ember. As Wattrel prepares to attack, it notices the fireball from behind and dodges it, resulting in Magneton getting hit by the attack instead. Wattrel, upset by the unintentional friendly fire, begins fighting with Fuecoco, forcing Roy to leave to break them up.

Meanwhile, Spinel gives his report to [[Hamber]], while being teased by [[Sango]] for his failure despite having supposedly prepared for everything. [[Onyx]] believes he was foiled by tunnel vision. [[Agate]] asks him what he thinks the pendant's power is, but he gives no answer, resulting in Sango continuing to tease him, Agate simply stating that he had nothing to stay, while Onyx stares at him with suspicion. Hamber concludes the meeting, causing the holograms of the other Explorers members to fade away. As Spinel steps out back onto the cargo ship's deck, he admits that he can't submit unverified information, musing that his encounter with Liko has made him even more curious about her and the pendant.
