They continue as Ash goes on ahead to school. Arriving at school, Ash is surprised when a sleeping Rowlet falls out of his bag. Later Professor Kukui informs his students that tomorrows extracurricular lesson will involve connecting with sea Pokémon which will involve going fishing. Outside Team Rocket are spying on them and wonder what Ash is doing going to school when they are spotted by Samson Oak. They manage to pass themselves off as tourists. Back in class, Professor Kukui tells Lana she will be in charge of the lesson. Remembering that they first met whilst Lana was fishing, Mallow says that Lana is a fishing master. Sophocles asks Lillie how she will cope with touching Pokémon which Lillie says she has a secret weapon.

Later Ash and Lana are walking home with Lana offering Ash one of her fishing rods when Lana decides to show Ash one of Popplio's techniques unaware that Team Rocket are spying on them. Down on the beach, Rotom Pokédex provides data on Popplio which includes making balloons and Ash realizes that this was what Lana was doing that morning with Lana confirms. Lana confirms this and says this was where she met Popplio when it was being attacked by Team Skull but she saw them off with Lapras. After Popplio was treated by Nurse Joy, Popplio agreed to be her partner. Popplio has ago at making balloons but they are small and quickly pop. Lana says her dream is to make the biggest balloon possible to make her spend more time underwater but Rotom Pokédex says that is impossible. Popplio has another go and manages to make one bigger than possible which flies away but soon pops.

Outside Lana's house, Ash spots Lapras which excites him as Lana explains that it is her Ride Pokémon. Team Rocket hears this and decides they should capture as many Ride Pokémon as they can and Meowth comes up with an idea on how to use them but hasn't come up with a plan. Inside Lana's house, Ash meets Lana's sisters Harper and Sarah who excited to see Pikachu and take him into the next room to play which starts to bother Pikachu. Lana stops them and they see Ash and ask if he is her boyfriend which Lana denies. Their antics annoy Pikachu which results in him shocking everyone. Soon Lana gives Ash a fishing rod.

The next morning the class gather where Lillie's secret weapon is a protective suit so she doesn't have to touch Pokémon. Professor Kukui hands over teaching duties to Lana and despite being nervous begins the lesson. Sophocles shows of his rod which will give him details on the best course of action and could even help him catch a Wailord. The class get on the Lapras and Wailmer who take them to their fishing spot.
