Something you can’t quite put into words...
Something that makes your heart beat a bit faster...
Something that seems to brighten up your day...
“I found some flowers I like!”
With white mist clinging onto every day
I can’t even look for what I wanna find, ooh
My diary makes it all look so exciting
“I threw it out, pretending it wasn’t mine” ...strike that
You lia-ia-ia-iar...
My inconsolable heart
Whoa-oh whoa-oh-o-oh
Rewrite “But”/“Yet” into “I bet”/“It could be true”
If only I could walk on air, on a fair breeze
Greatly, smoothly, slightly, nearly, someday...
I wanna fly!
I’m riding the heart-pound-ifying currents!
I bet! Yay-yay-yay-yay yay-yay-yay
Don’t let untold tales scare you
Dazzling daydreams make the world dance!
So smile! Yay-yay-yay-yay yay-yay-yay
No time to waste hiding away
I wanna learn about myself!
I still don’t know anything about any-any-anything
I wanna discover myself!
When I got the courage to say “I’m going out”
Maybe I grew up a little bit then
Training! Captain Pikachu
Amethio is after my pendant.
During our battle, incredibly enough, Roy’s Ancient Monster Ball opened up...
...and a black Rekkuuza popped out.
Roy partnered up with Hogator, and he joined the Rising Voltteccers.
Then we once again set sail for my house in the Paldea Region.
Cap...
Watch the wheel a sec.
This feels great!
Nyahoja loves grooming.
It’d groom all day if I let it.
Liko! Liko!
There you are!
Roy... You’re so energetic first thing in the morning...
Liko, let’s do it!
Do what?
We’re Pokémon Trainers now!
There’s only one thing to do!
Sure!
Hogator, use Ember!
Nyahoja! Leafage!
Ember, Ember, Ember!
Leafage, Leafage, Leafage!
Don’t stop now, Hogator!
Let’s finish this, Nyahoja!
Huh?
The battle is over. It’s a draw.
Huh?!
It’s Friede.
Everyone, come to the meeting room.
The update’s complete.
It’s got a Pokémon Index!
What’s this?
The mark of the ship?
I installed the Rising Voltteccers app.
That app proves you’re one of us.
You’re now officially part of the crew.
There’s a group chat feature just for crew members,
so send us a message right away if something ever happens.
Proof I’ve joined them... A group chat!
How very exciting!
Thank you, Mr. Friede!
No need to be so formal.
Just call me Friede.
Got it, Friede!
He adapted quickly.
As fellow members, we should act friendly.
Same for you, Liko.
Huh?!
Thank you...
F-Friede.
Ooh, that’s the ticket!
You’re getting used to how we do things.
Huh?
They’re not listening...
My own Pokémon Index...
I’m 100% gonna register Rekkuuza in this!
Although... I don’t know where it went.
That’s right.
We don’t have anything to go off of.
If only we had some sort of clue...
Oh, right. How about asking her?
Huh?
There’s one more member aboard this ship: Dot.
It’s her job to gather info.
She hardly ever shows herself.
She’s a rare sight.
That kid developed the systems for our app.
Did you say “kid”?
She’s my niece. She’s about your age.
Is that so?
She can write apps? That’s so cool!
She might be able to tell you something about Rekkuuza.
Go and check her room.
And so we’re here, but...
Shh!
Can’t you hear something?
Huh?
That music...
It’s Gurumin’s!
It stopped.
Was she watching a video?
No response.
Excuse me! My name’s Roy!
Hold on, Roy...
I’m a new member of the Rising Voltteccers!
Do you know anything about the black Rekkuuza?
I really wanna meet it again!
Oh, it’s Kuwassu. You scared me.
Okay, time to try this Index out!
Kuwassu. Duckling Pokémon. Water type.
With its strong legs, it can even swim through river rapids with ease.
It likes cleanliness and is prone to overthinking.
Ooh!
So you like to keep clean. Nyahoja’s the same way.
You sure are cute!
Wh—? What was that for?
Maybe it doesn’t want its hair messed with?
I get it... Sorry about that.
Hold on... Huh?
What’s that?
Hmm?
That’s...
You and Hogator, right? But...
We’ve been beaten in a battle?
She seems pretty rude.
It’s no surprise. We are new here...
And that battle earlier didn’t go great either...
Roy, I have an idea.
What is it?
Follow me.
You want me to train you?
Yes! We wanna get stronger.
P-Please!
Oh, so Dot wouldn’t talk to you?
She can be grumpy, and strict on trainers...
That’s part of it, but we’ve talked it over.
We wanna be trainers who can say “We’re members of the Rising Voltteccers!” with pride.
Oh?
And if we’re gonna catch that black Rekkuuza,
me and Hogator have gotta get a lot stronger!
I... We...
...couldn’t beat Amethio.
It left me so, so frustrated.
Liko...
You’ve all been tangled up in this and risked so much for me...
If Rekkuuza hadn’t appeared,
I bet he would’ve stolen my pendant.
You shouldn’t try to blame yourself for everything.
That’s not it!
I wanted to protect...
With my own two hands, to protect what I hold dear...
All of you.
The Explorers may attack again at some point.
I don’t want any regrets about not being strong enough.
I want to grow stronger alongside Nyahoja!
Liko... And Roy.
Yes!
I get how you feel.
Let’s do some special training!
Yo-ssu, all you Pokémon Trainers out there! Y’all been groovin’?
It’s a vid from Gurumin!
If you wanna train up strong Pokémon...
First, you battle!
Second, you battle!
Getting the experience is what matters.
So, come on!
Go try your hand at Pokémon battles!
There is no stone that starts out shining.
They clash together, and polish one another.
And in the end...
Deploy the barrier!
So then, ready for some training?
You made it, Hogator! You’re getting to battle your idol, Lizardon!
Let’s show it what you can do!
Wh-What?!
Great news, you two.
Cap’s decided to take you on!
pOCket Monsters
Liko and Roy Set Off
If you can land a single hit, you win.
I never expected we’d be facing Cap...
One hit? That’ll be easy, eh, Hogator?
Don’t let your guard down!
He’s...
...strong!
Let the battle begin!
Let’s go, Hogator! Ember!
You too, Nyahoja! Leafage!
We messed up...
Come on...
Can they really do this?
You just gotta attack!
Ember! Ember! Ember! Ember! Ember! Ember!
Us, too! Leafage! Leafage! Leafage!
What’s wrong? Is that all you’ve got?
We can’t hope to hit him by attacking alone.
Roy! Let’s do this together!
Got it! A combo attack!
Nyahoja! Your best Leafage!
Run, Hogator! Tackle!
Hogator, now!
He’s gone?
Where could he be?
When did he...?
Nyahoja! Scratch!
Hogator! Ember!
There’s lots of Caps?!
What is this?
Shadow Clones.
They’re provoking it and making it mad...
Nyahoja, stop! Calm down!
Liko! Roy!
Watch Cap closely!
You say that, but...
...which one do we watch?
The real one has to be in there.
But where?
Nyahoja?!
Of course. If we hit all of them, we’ll find the real one eventually.
If I just watch Nyahoja’s movement, and where Cap is multiplying...
I saw him!
No way!
He’s not just multiplying randomly.
The real one is moving backwards in a zigzag!
Gah... I don’t quite get it.
But Hogator, you chase Cap, too!
We’ll find him soon now!
We caught up!
Nyahoja! Scratch!
So close!
So you do have it in you.
We won’t give up. One more time!
With Hogator too, this time!
Huh?!
The battle is over.
Cap wins!
Thank you, Cap. You nailed it.
We couldn’t land a single hit...
He really was strong...
Your partners sure are carefree.
Anyway, it’s lunchtime.
Delicious!
Mawhip and I made lots of dessert, too.
I want seconds!
Nyahoja’s food looks tasty, too.
Can I have a bite?
I-It’s bitter...
Nyahoja does like bitter food.
Huh...
Everyone has their own favorite flavor...
Me and Hogator both like spicy food!
Um... Nyahoja likes matcha flavor...
I have to note down my partner’s favorites.
That battle earlier was really one-sided...
He’s on another level.
What could we be missing in our battles?
That’s one thing to consider, but also...
It seemed like Cap wasn’t just battling; but trying to teach us something.
We just couldn’t compete at all...
You two all rested up?
Now, have Nyahoja and Hogator battle.
Huh?
Huh?!
All right! Let’s get ready!
You ready?
Remember your battle with Cap!
He says that, but... I still feel clueless about battling.
Let the battle begin!
First, watch how the opponent moves...
Oh?
They’ve stopped ordering moves blindly.
How will Hogator move?
How?
I-It’s not moving...
Then we’ll go first!
Here it comes, Hogator!
Scratch!
Dodge!
Now, use Tackle!
Nyahoja, get back!
This isn’t like before!
I can tell... How my opponent moves, and when to order moves...
Looks like they’ve realized.
Of course!
Ember! Ember! Ember!
Leafage! Leafage! Leafage!
Until now, we’ve been ordering moves without even looking at our opponents.
That’s why we couldn’t battle well.
But...
Thanks to our battle with Cap...
You’re never alone in a battle.
You watch your opponent closely, and order moves in sync with your opponent.
Right!
Nyahoja’s speed has improved.
Hogator’s looking good, too. It’s not falling behind in power.
Pokémon battles are fun!
Yeah! Let’s end this with a song!
Hogator, use Ember!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Hoga!
Nyahoja, run past it!
The battle is over!
Nyahoja wins!
Ooh.
Wow!
W-We did it!
We did it, Nyahoja!
That was incredible, coming up with a new move!
That was Lightning Speed.
Cap’s training paid off.
Thank you!
Friede and Cap really are amazing.
We’ve had to be rescued again and again up to now...
...so let’s do all we can, Nyahoja!
Cap!
Roy?
Thanks to Cap, our battle was a lot more fun!
Thank you!
I’m bummed that we lost...
But that’s why next time...
Next time, we won’t lose!
Right, Hogator?
We ought to give it our all, too!
The faint gleam of a raw gem...
How exciting.
A message?
Who’s it from?
Dot?!
Dot... Finally...
Wait, Kuwassu?!
That was a shock...
Hold on... Huh?
Another note.
It’s Rekkuuza!
And... a map?
That’s Paldea!
That means Rekkuuza is in the Paldea Region!
Thank you, Dot!
Thanks from me, too.
Dot... I wonder if she’s started to accept us.
It doesn’t seem like she’s simply cold-hearted.
I’m curious... I think I’d like to learn more about Dot.

Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar
Friede here.
It’s time for my Pokémon Seminar!
Today, let’s take a look at the Duckling Pokémon, Kuwassu.
Kuwassu Duckling Pokémon Type: Water
Kuwassu always keeps its body glossy using gel secreted from its feathers.
Height 0.5m
Weight 6.1kg
But do you know why it does that?
Why does it keep its body glossy?
To keep away dirt
To repel water
For fashion
See the answer after the commercials!
Now, time to announce the correct answer.
Why does it keep its body glossy? A: To keep away dirt B: To repel water C: For fashion
The answer is: all of them!
Kuwassu coats its body in a moisturizing gel.
It takes extra care in brushing the coif on its head to ensure that it doesn’t get matted.
Trainers of Kuwassu, make sure you always keep your mirror sparkling clean.
