After seeing a dream of [[Diana|her grandmother]], [[Liko]] wakes up aboard the [[Brave Olivine]]. Remembering how her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} was taken from her the [[HZ002|previous night]], she resolves to get her partner back and steps out of her cabin to find [[Orla]], [[Murdock]], and [[Mollie]] on the deck. They tell her that [[Friede]] is looking for the [[Explorers]] so they can get her Sprigatito back. Friede indeed soon returns, though he says that while he managed to follow the Explorers to a nearby port city, he lost track of them afterwards, so he has no idea where exactly they're hiding. Liko expresses her desire to come along to look for her partner, though Friede warns that she won't stand a chance against the Explorers without any Pokémon. Friede reveals that her mother actually hired them as her bodyguards, which surprises Liko, causing the rest of the team to berate Friede for once again unintentionally withholding information from her, though they quickly brush it aside to focus on breakfast instead.

Once the Brave Olivine has docked at the port town, Murdock calls out his {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}}. Since Rockruff still remembers Sprigatito's scent, he figures they can use it to find the Explorers. Friede joins him on his search, while Orla will work on repairing the wing deck, Mollie asks Liko's help in getting some [[Potion]]s from a [[Pokémon Center]], and [[Ludlow]] stays behind to [[Fishing|fish]]. Leading Liko to the Pokémon Center, Mollie hands her a list of the preordered items and sends her inside alone without explaining why she's not coming along. Meeting [[Nurse Joy]], Liko hands the list to her, but Joy gets distracted by the need to treat another girl's {{p|Vulpix}} first. The girl berates herself for causing her partner to get hurt due to her own inexperience, making Liko think about Sprigatito and the possibility of it getting hurt too. However, unbeknownst to Liko, Sprigatito is being treated well by [[Onia]], who has bought it plenty of {{pkmn|food}} and toys, finding it irresistibly cute. She recomposes herself when [[Amethio]] enters the room, making it clear that he does not intend to use Sprigatito as a bargaining chip, his focus being solely on capturing Liko and her pendant. He is contacted by [[Zirc]], who's spying on the Brave Olivine and informs him that the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are in the city. Ending the call, Amethio wonders out loud what the team's next move is going to be.

Aboard the Brave Olivine, Orla finishes repairing the wing deck's retraction mechanism, while at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy finishes treating the Vulpix and hands Liko the boxes containing the preordered items. Liko almost falls over from the weight of the boxes, but they're caught by [[Mollie's Chansey]] the instant she exits the building. Simultaneously, Rockruff catches Sprigatito's scent on a disguised Onia, who's been out shopping. When Murdock, Friede, and Liko run towards her, she ditches her shopping bag and makes a run for it, contacting Amethio and informing him of her situation. He tells her to lead them to their hiding place and contacts Zirc, who's just finished secretly attaching a tracking device on the underside of the Brave Olivine, telling him to return. While Murdock stays behind to assist the civilians whom Onia knocked over during her escape, Liko and Friede follow Rockruff to the warehouse area where the Explorers are hiding. Friede tries to keep Liko from just charging in, but she, as Sprigatito's {{pkmn|Trainer}}, feels it's her responsibility to save it. As such, Friede devices a plan.
