"The Vulture Returns. Rocket's First Phase as Prince."
(ハゲタカに戻ります。王子としてのロケットの最初のフェーズ。, Hagetaka ni Modorimasu. Ōji to Shite no Roketto no Saisho no Fēzu.)	
Within the dark reaches of the galaxy, an outcast Pilot, Vulture, has returned, and he is about to destroy the planet Tsubasa in retaliation. Prince Haneya has been informed about Vulture's escape, and assigns his newly-appointed Second Prince, Rocket, to reassemble the Torrentuff Animals on Earth to stop him.
Unknown to any of the TTA, Black Despair and White Hope have a few new tricks up their sleeves, as well as a new ally, Gray Neutrality.
2 	A Tough Phage. Enter Gray Neutrality.
(厳しいファージ。中立の仮面登場！, Kibishī Fāji. Chūritsu no Kamen Tojo!)	With the new school year about to begin, a college-aged Icejin, Fribbles Cold, is assigned as student teacher at Rocket's school. However, there are some classes Fribbles has to take at college in order to earn a degree. Rocket, in his third year, is still learning the basics of becoming a bird authority.
Around the same time, Vulture assigns his second in-command, Titmouse, to brainwash an athletic student, turning him into a sweaty showoff who seems to pick on the Torrentuffs one by one. Just when the Torrentuffs are about to give up, Gray Neutrality appears in front of them and heals the showoff, Gutsy, right before he introduces himself to them.

25 	"The Light of the Wind! Final Battle for Tsubasa.
(風の光！惑星ツバサをかけた最終決戦。, Kaze no Hikari! Wakusei Tsubasa o Kaketa Saishūkessen.)	The episode begins with a legend that thirteen brave warriors from the past sealed a chaotic being, effectively ending the galactic battles. Vulture led that team, and sealing the being was the only way to maintain peace throughout the galaxy. However, that would mean exiling himself from his home planet of Tsubasa, since his team has helped him seal the chaotic being within himself.
Rocket, who is the only Torrentuff Animal left standing, since the others are heavily wounded and unable to fight, asks him if it was the only way. Vulture answers yes. Rocket says that there may be another way, but only a brave warrior of heart can do it. Vulture unleashes horrible bolts of lightning on him, paralyzing him.
The masked heroes, Black Despair, White Hope and Gray Neutrality, stand to fight him for the honor of Prince Haneya. However, using Waru, the power of Chaos, Vulture quickly defeats them all, with Rocket watching in shock.
With the battle all but over, and Rocket paralyzed, his soul seed begins to exit his body. However, a ray of light, he hopeful wind sprite, places her hand on his soul seed, and it begins to glow a shining light...
FINAL PHASE	
"Rocket's Forgiveness. The Feathers of a Shining Hero."
(ロケットの許し。輝く英雄の羽。, Roketto no Yurushi. Kagayaku Eiyū no Hane.)	Rocket is heavily wounded. However, the hopeful wind sprite heals his soul seed and transforms into a sealing arrow, which she begs him to use to defeat Vulture. However, Rocket refuses to defeat him, believing he still has some kindness inside his heart. He sheds his pilot garments and wrist and ankle bands, wearing nothing but his wings, and he gathers all seven spirit gems to empower him so that he can heal Vulture and expell the chaos from within his body. With Vulture healed, Rocket asks him to guide the soul seeds and return them to their rightful owners, in hopes that Vulture can repair the damage he has done. With the battle over, the wounded Torrentuff Animals are quickly healed, including Maria, whom the wind sprite guided back to Rocket, much to his surprise.
The Torrentuffs are guided back home, where they bid farewell to White Hope, Black Despair and Gray Neutrality and leave on the backs of Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem, respectively.
In the final scene of the episode, the season, and, of course, the series, Rocket admits his love to Maria, and they kiss under the night sky...
