A young girl named [[Liko]] arrives at a [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|bus]] stop on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, but her shyness keeps her from talking with the other girls waiting there. Even as she boards the bus and sees other girls watching a video by the internet celebrity known as [[Dot|Nidothing]], whom she's a fan of, she finds herself incapable of finding the right words to talk with them. Instead, she opts to looking out of the window and marveling at all the [[Kanto]] Pokémon she's seeing for the first time.

The bus eventually arrives at [[Indigo Academy]]. Liko goes to her room and meets her roommate, a girl named [[Ann]], in the middle of turning the room upside down to find her missing toothbrush, adding to the awkwardness of the situation. The two introduce themselves to each other, with Liko revealing she's from the [[Paldea]] [[region]], having come to study at Indigo Academy because [[Alex (Horizons)|her]] [[Lucca|parents]] had once studied here as well. Ann feels jealous of her, having never been outside of Kanto herself. As they later watch a [[Pokémon battle]] outside, Ann expresses her excitement at receiving her own [[first partner Pokémon]] during the entrance ceremony, though Liko has been too nervous to think about it. That night, Liko, too nervous to sleep, writes a diary entry on her [[Rotom Phone|Rotom Tablet]], describing her first day at school and expressing her anticipation at getting to meet her partner Pokémon.

The entrance ceremony takes place the next day. Following the headmistress giving a welcoming speech, the new students gather in a classroom, where each of them gets a [[Pokédex]] installed on their Rotom Phone, before being allowed to come in front of the class in turns to pick up their partner Pokémon. Ann eagerly chooses {{p|Oshawott}} as her partner, while Liko nervously picks {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. She finds her new partner cute, but Sprigatito simply scratches her when she tries to pet it and runs off. Liko chases after Sprigatito, following its sweet scent to a rooftop. Sprigatito hops towards her, but when she tries to catch it, they both end up falling down. Fortunately, their landing is softened by a {{p|Snorlax}}. While following Sprigatito to a lake, she stops to look at the beautiful sunset. However, Sprigatito still refuses to be held by her, shattering Liko's expectations of meeting a perfect partner.

After an unsuccessful attempt at having her first battle with Ann, Liko secretly sneaks out at night to try to {{pkmn|training|train}} Sprigatito's {{m|Leafage}} by the lake, though without success. Upon returning, she takes out a box from underneath her bed and opens it to reveal a pendant. Ann, having woken up without her noticing, approaches her and asks her about the pendant. Liko explains that it's a gift from [[Diana (Horizons)|her grandmother]], meant to work as a good-luck charm to keep her safe, though she doesn't feel old enough to wear it yet. The next day, Liko is too distracted by her own thoughts to notice Ann pointing out an [[Brave Olivine|airship]] in the distance, instead expressing her envy towards how well Ann and Oshawott are coming along. Following Ann's advice, Liko starts trying to learn more about Sprigatito in order to understand it better and hopefully learn what both she and it want to do. On the roof, Liko tries to catch Sprigatito in her hands again and succeeds, although she, having a tendency to lose her footing on occasion, falls down onto the ground. They also continue their secret nightly training, though Sprigatito's fickle nature isn't making them easy. Meanwhile, [[Rising Volt Tacklers|a group of people]] searches around the school for her, with little success.

Eventually, a school break arrives. Ann heads home to show off her Oshawott, while Liko plans to stay at the school. After seeing Ann off, she encounters a young man named [[Amethio]], who hands her a letter, saying it's from her grandmother and asking for her to bring her her precious pendant. Liko, feeling suspicious about the man, goes to her room to supposedly get ready. Feeling that something isn't right, she takes her pendant and climbs out the window to escape. Entering the room only moments later, Amethio sees that Liko is gone and alerts [[Explorers|his comrades]] to be on the lookout for her. One of them, [[Onia]], notices her, while a man named [[Zirc]] confronts her and calls out his {{p|Rhydon}}. Since Sprigatito isn't strong enough to fight Rhydon, Liko instead has it blind Rhydon with Leafage and then use its relaxing scent to put it to sleep. She flees onto a rooftop, but is cornered by Amethio, who demands her hand over her pendant. Suddenly, [[Friede|a man]] swoops down from the sky on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, saying that he also has business with Liko. Amethio decides to settle things with a Pokémon battle, sending out his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} to confront Charizard and telling his comrades to stand back.
