| Tera Training is almost over, so it's time for Liko, Roy, and Dot to return to Naranja Academy. But first, they decide to take a detour to see the summit of Glaseado Mountain. On the way, Liko and Floragato become lost after Chalce and her Medicham surreptitiously block the trail. Meanwhile, Amethio tries to track down Spinel but encounters Liko instead, and the two Trainers begin to battle. But they're soon interrupted by Spinel, who uses the Treasure of Eternity to make his Umbreon go berserk. It easily defeats Amethio's Terastallized Ceruledge, but then Terapagos steps forward, enraged by what it sees… | ||||

Dot tells Penny about the Explorers and their pursuit of the black Rayquaza and Terapagos, leading them to deduce that Chalce must be trying to steal information about Terapagos.
