Liko and Roy meet Kabu at the Battle Café, where the Gym Leader compliments Liko and Sprigatito's Leafage. As Roy is about to ask about the Black Rayquaza, Kabu goes for a run back to the Motostoke Stadium, with Liko and Roy following behind. The two arrive and are greeted by Wakaba, a Gym Trainer apprentice. As Wakaba takes Liko and Roy to Kabu, she tells them that he's someone who works very hard. Liko also observes how much in common Wakaba has with Roy. The group meets up with Kabu at the battlefield, where he is doing some stretches. Roy and Liko ask about the Black Rayquaza, Roy showing Kabu the Poke Ball it came out of, and Liko wanting to find out more about the legendary Pokemon for bringing her as far as she's come. | |||
Seeing the resolve of the two young trainers, Kabu puts them through a training test to strengthen their partners' basic moves in creative ways. Liko and Roy must compete against each other to either extinguish or light up the flames on a group of Litwick, with the one who managing to do so on every Litwick present before the other declared the winner. During the competition, Liko has Sprigatito use Leafage in different ways depending on how fast or tough their candles are to blow out. Kabu and Wakaba admire Liko and Sprigatito. Roy, noticing the score going down, has Fuecoco keep on using Ember. However, Fuecoco is too tired and hungry to continue, the they take a break to eat. After Roy gets some reassurance from Kabu, the competition is resumed. Liko has Sprigatito use Leafage like before while Roy and Fuecoco recover from their struggle, turning the tables on Liko lighting more Litwick candles. Liko sees a bunch of Litwick huddled up together, but after seeing Roy's renewed confidence, Liko pretends not to know which Leafage to use, giving Roy and Fuecoco the win. | |||
Seeing how Liko and Roy are improving Kabu challenges them to Tag Battle, with Wakaba as his partner. The battle begins, with Liko's Sprigatito and Roy's Fuecoco facing Kabu's Centiskorch and Wakaba's Rolycoly. Fuecoco starts with Ember on Centiskorch, but its Flash Fire Ability cancels it out. After an ineffective Leafage from Sprigatito, Centiskorch fires back with Flame Wheel and Bug Bite, while an intimidated Wakaba watches. Liko commands Sprigatito to blind Centiskorch with a big Leafage, and runs in with Fuecoco using Quick Attack and Tackle. However, Centiskorch fires Flamethrower, blowing them back hard and leaving Liko afraid for her partner getting hurt. Roy sings with Fuecoco, giving it the strength to get up as Centiskorch charges for another Flamethrower. Roy commands Fuecoco to counter with Ember, but it uses a newly-learned Flamethrower instead. However, it is still not enough to overpower Centiskorch, who's Flamethrower knocks it out. | |||
Seeing Roy's partner fainted, Kabu leaves Liko to Wakaba. Sprigatito overpowers Rolycoly's Smack Down with Leafage. Next, Wakaba commands Rolycoly to use Rapid Spin, which Sprigatito dodges and hits Rolycoly with a sharp Leafage. Liko then sees Wakaba's frustration and suddenly forfeits the match. Upset by the possibility winning by default without actually getting stronger, Wakaba runs off. Kabu speaks with Liko about her hesitance stemming from her compassion for others' feelings, having noticed that she let Roy win in the training before too. He claims that Liko must also think of how hard their opponent works, not to mention her own partner who doesn't want to hold back either. With that advice, Liko goes to apologize to Wakaba, who also apologizes for her behavior. | |||
Kabu tells Liko and Roy that he saw the Black Rayquaza several days ago during his morning run, flying over Motostoke before going West to the Galar Mine. When Liko and Roy return to the Brave Asagi, Liko is left in deep thought by Kabu telling her about a path she chooses for herself. | |||
