[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] have just met [[Kabu]] at the [[Motostoke]] [[Battle Café]], where the [[Gym Leader]] compliments Liko and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}'s {{m|Leafage}}. As Roy is about to ask about the {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}, Kabu goes for a run back to the [[Motostoke Stadium]], with Liko and Roy following behind. The two arrive and are greeted by {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}, a {{tc|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, with Roy showing Kabu the [[Poké Ball]] it came out of, and Liko wanting to find out more about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] for bringing her as far as she's come.

Seeing the resolve of the two young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Kabu puts them through a {{pkmn|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 {{p|Litwick}}, with the one who manages to do so on every Litwick present before the other is 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 {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} keep on using {{m|Ember}} at a rapid pace. However, Fuecoco soon tires out and gets hungry, so a snack break is taken. 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 stops to admire his progress for a crucial moment, which costs her the competition.

Sprigatito snaps her back into the competition, but when Liko turns around, she doesn't know which Leafage to use, which costs her the competition.


Seeing how Liko and Roy are improving, Kabu challenges them to a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]], with Wakaba as his partner. The battle begins, with Liko's Sprigatito and Roy's Fuecoco facing Kabu's {{p|Centiskorch}} and Wakaba's {{p|Rolycoly}}. Fuecoco starts with Ember on Centiskorch, but its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]] cancels it out. After an ineffective Leafage from Sprigatito, Centiskorch strikes back with {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Bug Bite}}, while an intimidated Wakaba can only watch. Liko commands Sprigatito to blind Centiskorch with a big Leafage and run in with Fuecoco using {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Tackle}}, respectively. However, Centiskorch fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} straight ahead, 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, whose Flamethrower [[Fainting|knocks it out]].
