Ash and Hau sit down to talk further, and Ash soon learns that Hau is Hala's grandson. Due to Hau's current experience, Hala has refused to {{pkmn|battle}} him. Hau adds that he and his father recently returned to [[Alola]] after a long time away. He explains that he is training close to the Trial Site, while Ash states that he and Pikachu were just exploring Melemele when they stopped after seeing Dartrix's impressive skills. As Ash asks whether Dartrix is the evolved form of {{p|Rowlet}}, Rotom interjects and recites its data on Dartrix. Ash holds up [[Bag|his backpack]] and introduces Hau and Dartrix to his still sleeping {{AP|Rowlet}}. Dartrix is immediately alarmed by Rowlet's bed hair and begins grooming it, but quickly becomes exhausted. Hau is amazed that Rowlet actually defeated Hala's {{p|Crabrawler}}, while his Dartrix was unable to. Soon enough, Hau and his Dartrix eagerly accept Ash's challenge.

Before the match begins Rowlet and Dartrix exchange intense stares, and Rotom takes its position as the battle's referee. Hau makes the first [[move]], but Rowlet falls asleep mid-battle and manages to dodge Dartrix's {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Ash manages to wake Rowlet up, while Dartrix pulls its face from the ground, allowing the match to continue. Rowlet sends out a Razor Leaf, but Dartrix's Razor Leaf attack slices its way through. Rowlet manages to dodge the Razor Leaf. As Dartrix prepares to land a Leaf Blade, Ash attempts to place his [[Grassium Z]] onto his Z-Ring but drops it in the grass. As Ash frantically searches for the Z-Crystal, Rowlet is struck out by Dartrix's attack. Rotom announces that Dartrix is victorious as Hau and Dartix high five and hug each other in celebration. While Ash is disappointed, Rotom claims that Rowlet appeared unusually serious and more powerful in battle. Ash challenges Hau to a rematch after seeing Rowlet's increasing aggression. Hau declines because he has an appointment with his father to attend. Instead, the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s promise to meet up the next day for the rematch.

Overnight, Ash tells {{an|Professor Kukui}} and [[Professor Burnet]] about Hau and Dartrix. Meanwhile, Rowlet continues to practice its techniques against a {{m|Substitute}} doll. Burnet asks Ash if retaliating with a new move would be more exciting. Rotom searches its database as Burnet tells the story about Royal Mask's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}} learning {{m|Cross Chop}} from {{m|Brick Break}}. Kukui interrupts the conversation and goes on to recite the Royal Mask's famous motto, "If you've got doubts, go back to your roots". Burnet explains that it means to go back to the beginning and Kukui adds something like a place or important event to Rowlet may help. Ash thinks of an idea and announces that he and Rowlet will practice a new move the next day.

The following day arrives and Ash escorts Rowlet to the location where they first met. Rotom is immediately concerned by Ash's logic, but Ash reassures it. Rowlet flies off and soon encounters a familiar {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Trumbeak}}. The two Pokémon are happy to be reunited. Ash follows Rowlet and Trumbeak as they fly over to {{p|Toucannon}}'s nest. Toucannon greets Ash and soon it and a Trumbeak fly down and begin eating rocks on the ground. The odd behaviour perplexes Ash and Pikachu, but Rotom explains that this trait is common amongst Bird Pokémon and that its helps them to digest their food properly. Just after Rotom warns that Ash and Pikachu should not try this, Ash stops Pikachu from swallowing a rock. To everyone's surprise, Trumbeak and Toucannon showcase their {{m|Bullet Seed}} attacks. The pair begin to teach Rowlet the attack. Ash is excited, but Rotom explains that Rowlet cannot learn the move. Ash retorts that Rowlet will simply overcome its limits, but Rotom is left disappointed by Ash's conclusion. As the Pokemon begin practicing Bullet Seed, as expected, Rowlet is unable to perform the move.
