Dot and Quaxly board a cargo ship, but they're quickly confronted by Spinel's Pokémon, so they call for Liko and Roy.

==Episode plot==
After meeting up in Levincia and restoring Liko's memories, Dot thanks Quaxly for being with her. Professor Friede then pulls out a Poké Ball, surprising Liko and Roy as they thought that she owned Quaxly. Dot admits that she wasn't interested in being a Trainer, but has made up her mind to be its partner. She throws the Poké Ball, though poorly that Quaxly has to let itself get caught.
With the culprit behind Liko's pendant still on the run, the Rising Volt Tacklers decide to split up in order to find them before they manage to get away. Wondering how the culprit might make their escape, a billboard advertising a leaving cruise prompts them to head to the docks to intercept the ship, though they are too late to get onboard. Friede manages to drop in with his Charizard, where they're greeted by a mysterious man who pulls out a Bisharp, making Friede believe he's found the culprit. Meanwhile, the other members, barring Ludlow, tell the kids to stay put. As they head out to search, Liko explains about her pendant and how it's brought them all together before the Ancient Poké Ball starts shining, making them realize that her pendant must be nearby. They split to pinpoint the location, though Quaxly soon spots a van on a ship and boards it with Dot following behind.
Back on the other ship, Friede and Captain Pikachu realize that the man is not the person they were looking for and realizes he has no idea what he was doing. Murdock then calls him, telling him that he's unable to contact Dot due to the same signal from before. Meanwhile, as Dot explores the ship, a Beheeyem appears and puts its hands out to hypnotize her, but Quaxly appears and uses Pound. She then tries to call the others, but discovers her signal is jammed before realizing their culprit is on the ship. A Magneton then appears as the Trainer talks to her from their devices.
Backed up into a corner, Dot has Quaxly use Water Gun in the air, which alerts Liko and Roy to her location. The man then orders Magneton then uses Electro Ball before expressing disappointment in Dot, believing her to be a capable Trainer. Before he could have them finish the pair off, Sprigatito bumps in, revealing that Liko and Roy managed to board before it left. They then realize that the person is a member of the Explorers, though unaware of his identity as Spinel. Spinel orders Beheeyem and Magneton to use a joint Psychic-Electro Ball attack which hits Quaxly. Liko then orders Sprigatito to use Leafage, causing Spinel's Pokémon to flinch. Sprigatito then uses Quick Attack while Quaxly uses Water Gun, causing Beheeyem to panic. Spinel orders Magneton to ascend, which Roy has Fuecoco try to hit with Ember to no avail. He then brings out his Wattrel to use Peck. In the process, Wattrel steps on Fuecoco's head, angering it as it launches another Ember. As Wattrel prepares to attack, it notices the fireball from behind and dodges it, resulting in Magneton getting hit by the attack instead. Wattrel, upset by the unintentional friendly fire, begins fighting with Fuecoco, forcing Roy to leave to break them up.
Believing them to have won, Dot demands the pendant while Spinel becomes uncharacteristically angry seeing Beheeyem and Magneton had fainted, ordering his Umbreon out with Snarl, which Quaxly tries to stop with Water Gun but fails. Spinel apologizes to Umbreon for having to send it out to fight weaklings, while the trio note that it's on another level. As Liko resolves to save her pendant, it begins to react alongside her Ancient Poké Ball, shocking Spinel as he walks out of his van with the case in tow. It shines brightly that he ends up dropping it, while Liko dashes to reclaim her pendant. Spinel orders Umbreon to intercept, but suddenly Arboliva emerges and angrily stares at him. Spinel, appearing to lose his sanity, is intrigued by what he's seeing before Umbreon begins biting and tugging at his coat sleeve, making him return to reality and realize that he's outmatched, so he backs away. 
Arboliva extends its arms to Liko, who hops on and urges Dot and Roy to get on. Arboliva then falls into the water and begins swimming back to shore, where they meet up with the rest of the crew. Back on the ship, Spinel realizes now why Gibeon desires the pendant, seeing that Liko is the key to it. On the Brave Olivine, Liko apologizes for the trouble, but Dot tells her it's not her fault. She then tells her that she's actually Nidothing, the revelation shocking both Liko and Sprigatito.
At an unknown area, Spinel gives his report to Hamber while being teased by Sango for his failure despite having prepared for everything. Onyx believes he was foiled by tunnel vision, though Spinel ignores their prodding and simply apologizes for losing the pendant. Agate then asks him what he thinks the pendant's power is, but he gives no answer, resulting Sango continuing to tease him, Agate simply stating that he had nothing to stay while Onyx stares at him with suspicion. Hamber then concludes the meeting.
As Spinel steps out of his van, he admits that he couldn't submit unverified information before stating that his encounter with Liko has made him even more curious about her and the pendant as he and Umbreon stare out at the sunset.
