The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] arrive at a beach to have fun. [[Roy]], {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}} run to the beach before playfully running from a wave. [[Murdock]] tells them to have fun and work up a good appetite for the barbecue tonight, which thrills Roy. [[Liko]] asks why [[Orla]] and [[Mollie]] aren't here, and [[Friede]] | The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] arrive at a beach to have fun. [[Roy]], {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, and {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}} run to the beach before playfully running from a wave. [[Murdock]] tells them to have fun and work up a good appetite for the barbecue tonight, which thrills Roy. [[Liko]] asks why [[Orla]] and [[Mollie]] aren't here, and [[Friede]] mentions they'll be here soon, while Murdock says that hard workers like them deserve a treat. Murdock and Friede decide to go stock up on ingredients while [[Ludlow]] volunteers to watch the kids. After Friede and Murdock leave, Roy asks Ludlow if he wants to swim with him and Liko, but he just prefers admiring the sea. Roy asks Liko why [[Dot]] isn't here. Liko says that she did invite her, but she just complained about how sticky you get after a soak in seawater, not to mention sunburn. Roy remarks that sounds just like Dot. Liko notices {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} trying to catch a Pokémon burrowing through the sand. Roy thinks it's a white {{p|Diglett}} as it reveals it's long body, which surprises him and Liko. Roy uses his [[Pokédex]] to scan the Pokémon, revealed to be a {{p|Wiglett}}, which looks like Diglett but is actually a [[ecologically similar Pokémon|completely different species]]. Sprigatito follows Wiglett to a group of Water-type Pokémon, which Roy is amazed by. | ||
Liko comments on how nice and clean this beach is. A swimmer suddenly appears behind the kids, startling them. He boasts about how dedicated he is to preserving the sea's beauty by picking up trash with his partner {{p|Trubbish}}. As Roy is left confused, an uncomfortable Liko hides behind the umbrella. The swimmer then spots trash in the distance and rushes off to pick it up with Trubbish, leaving Liko confused while still admiring his dedication. The kids spot a pod of {{p|Finizen}} in the water, with Ludlow saying "Long time no see". | Liko comments on how nice and clean this beach is.

As Sprigatito and Fuecoco greet a {{p|Nacli}}, Roy scans Finizen with his Pokédex. Liko plays with the Finizen underwater, finding entertainment in their bubble rings. Watching the pod swim around her, Liko then spots one with a red heart-shaped mark on its chest. She gets intrigued by this before hearing someone calling for help back on the beach, the Finizen with the red mark becoming determined and diving below the water. The kids see a man hanging from a roof, the ladder broken as he is losing his grip. Some men with cameras and their trio of {{p|Patrat}} are ready to capture what happens on this beach when someone's in trouble. They are excited to spot something in the water rushing out to catch the man before he falls; {{p|Palafin}}, Hero of the Ocean. The trash cleaner appears next to the kids, startling them again as he points out that Palafin is the protector who watches over these waters. Palafin returns to the ocean, the camera crew thanking it and snapping pictures of it. | As Sprigatito and Fuecoco greet a {{p|Nacli}}, Roy scans Finizen with his Pokédex.

Fuecoco wears its sunglasses while relaxing on a Wailmer float, and Sprigatito plays with a {{p|Buizel}}. The trash cleaner introduces Liko and Roy to Palafin in its Normal form, the Finizen with the heart-shaped mark that Liko saw earlier. The Pokémon they saw save the man was Palafin in its Hero form. Roy is amazed to know it probably transforms, and the trash cleaner admits that no one has ever seen it change forms. Liko sees the camera crew snapping photos of Palafin, asking who they are. The crew introduces themselves as the Snap Boys, devoting their time to taking pictures of Palafin. One of them shows photos to the kids they've taken of Palafin helping out in the beach community. Thanks to their Patrat, keeping a close eye on Palafin, they've been able to take quite a lot of photos. Liko is still enthralled by how such a cute Pokémon can become a cool hero. Roy asks if they have ever been able to snap a photo of Palafin's transformation sequence, and they say no, but it would be great. As Palafin uses its ultrasonic waves, one of the Snap Boys takes another picture, prompting the Dolphin Pokémon to turn away and splash its tail at the group in annoyance. Liko notices this, thinking that she wouldn't mind seeing the transformation for herself, and that Palafin doesn't want anyone to see it change forms. Palafin uses its waves on Liko, who thinks that seeing something about Dolphin Pokémon that it doesn't want to be seen wouldn't feel right. Palafin's eyes light up at Liko's thoughts. | Fuecoco wears its sunglasses while relaxing on a Wailmer float, and Sprigatito plays with a {{p|Buizel}}.

The waves suddenly wash a napping Fuecoco out to the water as Ludlow plays with Sprigatito. Roy looks at more photos the Snap Boys took of Palafin before sees Fuecoco freaking out, its toes popping a hole in his float causing it to sink. As Roy rushes to help his partner, Palafin saves it in its Hero form, creating a life preserver with the rings on its tail for Fuecoco to rest on, as the trash cleaner points out. Once out of the water, Roy and Fuecoco tearfully embrace as the Snap Kids take photos of Palafin's Hero form. Palafin returns to the ocean, the Snap Boys thanking it and snapping pictures of it again, this time with a teared up Roy thanking it too. Its strengths are pointed out by an announcer. A woman loses her cloth to the wind, and Palafin uses its jet propulsion to soar through the air and catch it. A kid loses his bike key, and Palafin uses the bubble lenses around its eyes to spot it from far away. Palafin swims at 50 knots, and its super strength allows it to lift a cruise ship with ease, as seen when it lifts a large boat off some rocks. A poacher catches a bunch of {{p|Luvdisc}} for their scales, and Palafin uses its signature move, {{m|Jet Punch}}, to break the crane. It does a super jump in the opposite direction with water pumped from its blowhole before coming back fast with enough force to kick the tank open, freeing the Luvdisc. Everyone praises Palafin for saving the day and protecting the peace of the ocean as Sprigatito relaxes on Ludlow's lap. | The waves suddenly wash a napping Fuecoco out to the water as Ludlow plays with Sprigatito.

The Snap Boys' stunt is found out by the group, Roy scolding them for someone elsewhere needing rescue from Palafin. After the Snap Boys apologize, Liko admits to herself that she got to see Palafin's transformation after all, but decides to keep it a secret from them. She and Roy then notice Ludlow lying on his side, having thrown his back out. Liko tells Ludlow that Mighty G and Palafin helped them out a while ago. Liko asks Roy if they'll ever see them again, and he is confident that they will. Dot sees the picture of everyone, including Mighty G, posing with the Klawf, less than impressed that the Hero of the Ocean isn't a Pokémon. At sunset, Roy shows Friede the photos he got from the Snap Boys. Ludlow notices a strange white structure in the background of one of the photos. The trash cleaner points out that some suspicious strangers showed up and put it there, intriguing Friede. | The Snap Boys' stunt is found out by the group, Roy scolding them for someone elsewhere needing rescue from Palafin.

Later in the evening, the Rising Volt Tacklers are enjoying the barbeque in the beach. Suddenly, Friede gets a call from [[Professor Willow]], who tells him that Pikachu wearing strange hats are being spotted all over the world. [[Captain Pikachu]] leaps onto Friede's shoulder, prompting Prof. Willow to mention that the hat is the same as Cap's hat, much to their surprise. Prof. Willow wants to ask Friede and the RVTs to get to the bottom of this, but suddenly, one of the Pikachu behind him shocks him, ending the call, leaving Friede, Liko, and Roy wondering about what happened. | |||
