A/N: Heh, chapter 69, nice.
Ash, Liko, Roy, and Dot are talking with Raifort outside Naranja Academy.
Raifort: If you're looking for more information about Terapagos. I know Briar is obessed with it. She's in the land of Kitakami.
Ash: Kitakami? Hey I remember that place! Someone was running a stand selling apples from there!
Liko: Who's Briar?
Raifort: She's a teacher at Blueberry Academy in Unova.
Ash: There's a new academy in Unova?!
Dot: Ash, please don't die of excitment.
The Brave Olivine, now fully repaired, arrives at the school to pick the children up, ending that conversation. The group reunites with the Rising Volt Tacklers aboard the airship, and they set sail towards new adventures. The next morning, the kids meet up on the airship deck.
Ash: I wonder what upgrades this thing got!
Dot: Well, looks the same to me, so probably nothing big.
The kids mutally decide to tour the airship together. Their first stop is the bridge, where they soon spot a big red button on the control panel, but Friede forbids them to press it, "Only for emergencies. This makes Ash and Roy even more tempted to see what it does, but Liko and Dot hold them back. The next stop is the engine room, where Orla excitedly shows off some minor upgrades. In the infirmary, Mollie points out some upgrades her workspace has received as well. Then the kitchen, which has experienced a big style change. Crocalor spots what he thinks are three pieces of sushi and tries to eat one, only for all of them to attack back and reveal themselves as a trio of Tatsugiri.
Liko: Do those three belong to you?
,Murdock: Uh, the truth is more complicated than that.
The three Tatsugiri end up escaping the room, leaving the children and their Pokémon to follow after them around the airship. They stop to rest at the wing deck, declaring their tour a success. Friede approaches them with a briefcase containing Lucius's belt, which he's now returning to Liko's possession. Terapagos starts excitedly calling out at the Ancient Poké Balls attached to the belt. Arboliva, Galarian Moltres, and Lapras all emerge from their respective balls in response and look at the children in a way that they interpret as a battle challenge. While intimidated at the idea of battling against some of the Six Heroes, their partner Pokémon's excitement wins them over, and they accept.
Ash: You three have fun with that, I'll pass.
Roy: What? Why?
Ash: You guys need this more than me, this is your battle. Plus, there's three of them and four of us.
The Brave Olivine stops at a rocky island in the middle of the ocean to allow the battle to occur. Liko and Floragato face Arboliva on the wing deck with Ash watching, Roy and Crocalor face Moltres on the island, and Dot and Quaxwell face Lapras near the shoreline. Floragato begins the confrontation by using Quick Attack to dodge Arboliva's blasts of oil before using Magical Leaf, which Arboliva counters with the same move. Roy gets Crocalor pumped up against the tough opponent and has him counter Moltres's Fiery Wrath with his own anger by using Stomping Tantrum, successfully avoiding getting fatigued by the move before countering an Air Slash with Flamethrower. Dot has Quaxwell dodge Lapras's Ice Beams with his graceful steps. Liko uses the cloud of leaves created by the Magical Leaf clash to have Floragato wrap her vine around Arboliva's arm and strike the Olive Pokémon with a super effective Acrobatics. The hit triggers Arboliva's Seed Sower and covers the field in a Grassy Terrain, which Liko takes as Arboliva telling her to hit harder. Crocalor gets sent flying by Moltres's Hurricane, but Roy manages to use this to his advantage by having Crocalor rise above Moltres and unleash a super effective Disarming Voice at the Legendary Pokémon. At the shoreline, Dot uses the field of ice created by Lapras to have Quaxwell quickly get closer to his opponent and hit it with a Low Kick.
The three decide to use their Tera Orbs, Terastallizing their respective partners and attacking with Magical Leaf, Flame Charge, and Liquidation. The boosted moves make contact, but their opponents are hardly fazed by them. Liko, Roy, and Dot are determined to keep going, but then Terapagos suddenly calls out to everyone,.
Liko: What's Terapagos saying?
Ash: I think the little guy wants the battle to end and everyone come back!
The trio reunite at the Wind Deck and the Hero Pokemon return to their Poke Balls. The Brave Olivine resumes its journey and Friede compliments the three young Trainers.
Freide: Your Pokemon weren't the one ones who evolved, you three did too.
Ash: Yeah! No doubt about that! You three aren't the same rookies I meet before.
Friede: I think it's time to head to Kitakami and find out more about Terapagos!
