==Episode plot==
Alec's father mentions how "that" Pokémon lost everything, and became something else, due to humans mistreating it. Alec, in a dark forest, notices people with torches walking away. His father mentions how people and Pokémon cannot coexist. Alec gasps, suddenly standing in a pool of water. He looks around, seeing his mask floating. He stares in awe as the mask has blue flames create a form that extends an arm to grab him.
In the present, Alec wakes up amidst the snow. He finds Zorua sniffing him at his face, surprising him. Zorua becomes defensive, while Alec looks up, finding vines he can grab onto to climb up. He attempts to stand up, but then falls down: he has injured his leg and cannot move. Alec crawls to the top of the cliff, and Zorua goes to him, seeing a purple glow in the woods. Alec starts to shake, and nearly begins to cry. Zorua looks to him, whereas Alec regains his resolve, and crawls to the vines. He stands up, and shares his hand to Zorua, who looks at his injured leg. Zorua leaps to him, which lets Alec push it up so it leaps to the top. Alec is glad to have helped, but the vine snaps, making him fall down.
Alec waits for a while, and is freezing a bit. Suddenly, he notices some herbs falling down: Zorua has brought some and is tossing them to him. Alec grabs one and takes a bite, but is startled how bitter it is. Still, he expresses his gratitude to Zorua, whose fur is somewhat dirty. Zorua descends down and shreds a herbs to its root, then goes to Alec's leg. Alec exposes his injury, to which Zorua gnaws on the root, causing a sap to drop onto Alec's leg, curing his injury. He becomes surprised at this effect, and taps his leg, feeling no pain over the injury that is now gone. He stands up, amazed by these results.
He turns to Zorua, using his cloth to wipe its dirty fur, and smiles towards his new friend. Alec ascends up with Zorua, winded with all the exertion. However, he notices Zorua by some footprints. They follow the footprints, and on their way, Alec finds a glow in the woods. Despite this, he hears a voice from the woods: his father is calling out to him. While Alec is glad, he stops a bit, pondering his thoughts. He looks at Zorua, who is curious about Alec. A moment later, Alec shouts out to gain his father's attention. His father is glad to see him, but gasps to see Zorua by his side.
Alec hugs his father, who is displeased to see Zorua, mentioning it is Zoroark's. Alec assures his father that Zorua, his new friend, helped him, but his father shushes him. Lights come out from the woods: a pack of Zoroark emerge. Zorua turns around to join them; Alec tries to get to it, but stops, seeing his father's enraged face. Upon Zorua's return to the pack, Zoroark emits a strong gust of wind that douses the fire on Alec's father's torch. With the pack gone, Alec and his father go away from the forest. Alec is still troubled over this event, and looks at the scar at his father's right hand. He takes out the root that Zorua used to cure him, forgetting that he dropped his mask. A blue light shines, and Alec is called out.
In the present, Alec snaps out of his memories: the passenger tells Alec that they have arrived. Alec looks around, pleased with his surroundings, for he has returned. Elsewhere, however, Pokémon of the wild run away in terror - a dark sphere has formed in the woods, and a fearsome Pokémon cries out in terror.
