Liko, a shy girl from the Paldea region, arrives in Kanto to begin her studies at the Indigo Academy. Eventually, Liko selects Nyahoja as her first Pokémon, but the two of them struggle to see eye to eye. One night, Liko encounters Amethio, a man from a group called the Explorers, who hands her a letter that is supposedly from her grandmother, requesting her to bring her special pendant.

Meanwhile, Amethio and his crew continue their pursuit of Liko's pendant and arrive on the airship.

The Rising Volteccers dock at Roy's island to repair the damaged Brave Asagi's balloon. Their Hogator stumbles overboard and wanders through the island's forest, eating a stash of berries it finds before being discovered by Roy, who befriends it. Liko and Nyahoja notice Hogator's absence and track it to the forest, where they are attacked by wild Pokémon that blame them for eating the berries. The two are aided by Roy, whose ancient Monster Ball resonates with Liko's pendant, but the group and Hogator are quickly ensnared by the wild Pokémon. Friede rescues the group and calms the wild Pokémon, which forgive Hogator after Liko and Roy help it replace the berries.

Reuniting with Hogator and warned about the Explorers, Roy enlists the local bug Pokémon to patch the Brave Asagi's balloon, while Friede and the rest of the crew battle Amethio and Zir to protect the ship.

When their usual strategy of blindly ordering attacks fails, the two improve by focusing on Cap's movements, although Nyahoja and Hogator lose interest in the match and fall asleep.

Dot responds to their match with a drawing of Rayquaza flying over Paldea, indicating the legendary Pokémon to be there. | |||||||||

Following Friede and Murdock's failures to coax Dot out of her room with doughnuts, the crew stops at a nearby town to resupply.

After overhearing her father, Alex, express his concerns for her since her departure to Kanto, Liko shares her feelings with the crew and resolves to continue her adventures with them, reconciling with Nyahoja and gaining Alex's approval.

However, Roy is deeply moved by the sculpture, motivating Colza to test Roy's resolve with a Gym battle. Although Hogator learns Stomping Tantrum to gain an advantage, it loses to Colza's Terastalized Usokkie.

After battling Friede remotely to study his moves, including his Lizardon's ability to Terastalize into a Dark-type, Spinel lures Liko and Nyahoja to Hakkō City and puts them in a trance with his Ohbem, which erases Liko's memory of her pendant as Spinel steals it. | |||||||||
