 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 {{p|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.
-Liko and Friede enter a warehouse, where Amethio confronts them. He makes his recurring demand for Liko's pendant clear, but Friede suggests they settle things with a [[Pokémon battle]], as their previous battle wasn't even properly finished. Amethio agrees, and Liko moves aside from being caught in the middle of the action. While [[Captain Pikachu]] once more clashes against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], Liko uses the distraction to sneak further into the warehouse, with Rockruff quickly leading her to the room where Sprigatito is being held. As Friede and Amethio's battle moves to the warehouse's rooftop, Liko forces the door open and reunites with Sprigatito. They escape outside, where Onia appears before them, still fawning over "her" cute Sprigatito. She is devasted when the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} refuses to come with her and calls out her {{p|Skarmory}}, taunting that a {{t|Grass}} type like Sprigatito stands no chance against it. Undeterred, Liko orders Sprigatito to use {{m|Leafage}}. While the [[move|attack]] doesn't do much against Skarmory, it still provides enough of a cover to allow Liko and Sprigatito to escape. On the rooftop, Amethio has driven him and Pikachu at the edge. His confidence of his impending victory fades away quickly, however, when the leaves of Leafage rise up behind Friede and he sees Liko running away, realizing too late that the battle was just a distraction planned by Friede. Smirking, Friede and Pikachu fall off the rooftop and fly away with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}.

 Aboard the Brave Olivine at sunset, Liko feels she can finally fully trust the Rising Volt Tacklers, given that they put her and Sprigatito's safety before her pendant. In addition, being separated and reuniting with Sprigatito has truly made her feel like a Trainer and made her understand what her grandmother had meant by telling her that the only scary part of being a Trainer is the first step. Thanks to Sprigatito, she's been able to take that first step and find herself a new horizon. She steps in front of the Rising Volt Tacklers, expressing that, while they seemed suspicious to her at first, due to them taking her with them without explaining anything, she feels ready to trust and travel with them now in order to find out more about her pendant and why the Explorers are after her. Friede happily accepts her request to continue traveling along with them, as they're also interested in finding out more about the pendant, since the Rising Volt Tacklers are a team all about uncovering the mysteries of the world, yet another thing that he's absentmindedly neglected to mention. With Liko now officially a member of the team, Friede declares that their next destination is Liko's home in [[Paldea]], where they're going to collect their bodyguard fees so they can keep financing their adventures. In her cabin, Liko calls [[Ann]] and informs her of her departure, saying that she'll be attending classes remotely from now on.
