Plot
Liko, Roy, and Dot enroll at Naranja Academy alongside Explorers members Coral and Sidian, who are undercover. The trio receives Tera Orbs from Geeta and are assigned to battle specific Gym Leaders to complete their Terastal training: Liko faces Katy in Cortondo, Roy battles Brassius in Artazon, and Dot challenges Iono in Levincia. During their training, they reunite with Ann, whose Oshawott has evolved into Dewott, and discover that Chalce has become a teacher at the academy, who is working undercover.
After completing their first tests, the group faces second-round challenges against Larry, Ryme, and Grusha. During this period, Roy's Wattrel evolves into Kilowattrel and Liko's Hatenna evolves into Hattrem. The training takes a dangerous turn when Spinel traps Liko and Amethio in a cave beneath Glaseado Mountain, leading to revelations about Gibeon and the Explorers' goals. Amethio is subsequently placed on probation for helping Liko escape.
The arc climaxes when the Explorers attack Naranja Academy to steal data about Terapagos. During this crisis, the students participate in a tournament where Roy's Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor, and Roy defeats Liko in their battle. The arc concludes with the trio completing their Terastal training and departing the academy, while Spinel begins analyzing the stolen Terapagos data.
