After Sprigatito disappears, Friede locates the Explorers in a port town, and the crew assists Liko in recovering the Pokémon. Murdock's Rockruff detects Onia, who has been caring for Sprigatito, at the Pokémon Center. The group chases Onia, who is ordered by Amethio to lead them to their hideout. Friede engages Amethio in battle to distract him, enabling Liko to rescue Sprigatito. Onia confronts Liko outside, but she uses Leafage to create a leafy distraction for their escape. Friede observes the successful plan and withdraws. The Rising Volt Tacklers and Liko reunite and depart for Paldea. Meanwhile, a local islander named Roy discovers the Brave Olivine's missing flag on the beach.
