[Motostoke - Pokémon Center]

Inside of the Pokémon Center in Motostoke. Cap, Sprigatito and Fuecoco were on a cart as they were pushed towards where Liko and Roy are.

"Your Pokémon should be all better now!" Nurse Joy told both Liko and Roy.

Sprigatito meowed and jumps into Liko's arms.
"Fueco!" Fuecoco jumps into Roy's arms.

"Sprigatito! Thank you!"
"Fuecoco! Thank you!"
Both Liko and Roy thanked Nurse Joy at the same time.

"Glad you're better too, Cap!" Liko said.

"Pikachu." Cap responded. "Pika." He looked towards the entrance.

The entrance to the Pokémon Center opened. Both Friede and Atlas were at the front, Ace was on Atlas' shoulders, Pyro was on Charizard's head, while Charizard was behind the humans.

"Atlas! Friede!" Liko said seeing them.
"You two made it out!" Roy said relieved.

"Liko! Roy! Are both of you okay?" Friede asked as they went towards them.

"Yeah!" Roy said nodding.

"We're fine." Liko said as Sprigatito jumps onto her shoulder.
Sprigatito meowed.

"Thank goodness." Atlas said smiling.
"Pikachu." Ace agrees.

Cap jumps onto Friede's shoulder.

"You showed some real grit too, Cap." Friede told him.
"Pikachu." Cap responded.
Charizard roars and Cap responded to it.

"Thank you too, Charizard! Pyro!" Roy thanks them.

Pyro makes a happy sound, but flops down exhausted.
Charizard tries to flex his arm, but held his shoulder.

Friede looked towards the two Pokémon. Both Liko and Roy were worried. He looked towards Nurse Joy. "Can I ask you to treat these guys next?" He asked.

"Yes, please leave it to us." Nurse Joy said.

"Thank you." Atlas thanked her.

[Outside]

The group were now outside sitting on some benches.

Liko and Roy sat next to each other.
Friede and Atlas sat next to each other, with their Pikachu partners between them.
Both Cap and Ace were eating some berries.
Brioche, Pyro, Charizard, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Wattrel were sitting on the grass also eating some berries.

"But man... What a tough opponent, seriously." Friede said.

"Even both Charizard and Pyro were no match..." Roy said.

"Yeah. It took all we had just to get out of there. It was on a completely different level." Friede said looking up, excited. "Something wrong, Liko?" He asked seeing her expression.

"You make it sound like... fun." Liko said.

Friede chuckled and stood up. "I'm always excited to find an opponent that's stronger than me. It proves that I still have room for growth." He said.

Atlas chuckled. "Yeah. There's still more room for growth in a lot of people." He said.

"Growth..." Liko said.

"Just like Mr. Kabu said." Roy said looking towards Liko. He stood up. "You can even learn things from failure!"

Friede's Rotom-Phone rang and flew out.
