Ash, Liko, Roy, and Dot continue their journey back towards Naranja Academy.

Dot: Man, I'm exhausted

Ash: But it's fun! Man I have missed travling lik this, only our feet to take us! No planes or cars!

Ann suddenly catches up with them, also on her way back to the academy after passing her test. She's surprised to notice that Hatenna and Wattrel have evolved, and also spots Terapagos peeking out of Liko's bag. Before Liko can explain about Terapagos, Dot collapses.

Dot: I can go on anymore...

Roy: Maybe a snack break?

They do so, with Liko taking the time to reveal to Ann how Terapagos used to be the pendant she had previously shown to her. Ann is also excited by the concept of traveling around in an airship, though Liko admits that they've still got ways to go, as there is a faraway place where Terapagos wishes to go to, which is why they're taking the Terastal Training course. Ann notes how Liko has grown much more confident and asks Roy and Dot to be her friends too. They accept, though the socially awkward Dot does so reluctantly.

Ann: I'm gonna give it my all at the league!

Ash: There's a pokemon league here?!

Liko receives a phone call from Friede, who asks how she, Ash and Roy are doing and if they too saw a pink haze when encountering Lucius's Lapras and Galarian Moltres. Ash, Liko and Roy confirm this to be true, with Liko mentioning how she also saw the same thing with Arboliva. Having confirmed what he wanted to know, Friede wishes Ash, Liko and Roy good luck on their Terastal Training and ends the call.

Later, Ash, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann have finished their break and are continuing along their way.

Ann: leaving Kanto for Paldea really made me nervous.

Liko: I felt the same way when I had come to Indigo Academy, I was able to take a step forward after meeting Floragato.

Ann: I feel the same way! Having Dewott and Sandshrew by my side made everything better.

This statement catches Liko by surprise, and she starts wondering if Terapagos is actually trying to take her to Laqua, instead of vice versa. Happily holding Terapagos in her arms, Liko and her friends run ahead as they finally see Naranja Academy in the distance, declaring that they've finally made it back.

A/N: Short chapter this time, The episode itself isn't focused too much on the kids, but I did what I could.
