Ep. 20: Kabu Tests Liko and Roy's Resolve Through Intense Gym Training Exercises

After Liko and Roy ask about the black Rayquaza, Kabu organizes a training session at his Gym to evaluate their determination. The pair competes in a challenge involving Litwick candles, where Liko narrowly loses because she pauses to appreciate the growth of Roy and Fuecoco. They subsequently engage in a double battle against Kabu and his apprentice Wakaba. During this match, Fuecoco learns the Flamethrower attack before being defeated by Kabu's Centiskorch. In a following solo match, Liko forfeits against Wakaba, who is being assessed for official Gym trainer status, to ensure Wakaba passes. Kabu later reprimands Liko for hesitating on behalf of others, leading to a reconciliation. Finally, Kabu informs the group that he spotted Rayquaza heading toward the Galar Mine.
