Elsewhere, Popplio catches up to Eevee, and they seek refuge from Pershie behind a bush. However, it spots Eevee's tail and pounces on them, forcing them to continue fleeing, but Popplio is struggling to keep up its pace on land. In a last-ditch effort, Popplio latches onto Eevee's sides and uses , slipping Pershie. Then, the two nearly run into the Furfrou from earlier in the day, and though they avoid a collision, Eevee and Popplio fall into a nearby canal in the process.

Tupp and his cronies arrive, and when Rapp spots Eevee, she hugs it and calls it cute. She demands that they bring it home, but Zipp reminds Rapp that having an Eevee around would only irritate Tupp because of his history with Ilima. However, Tupp comes to the belief that having an Eevee by his side would attract girls to him just like it did for Ilima, prompting him to try and claim Eevee for himself, but Rapp refuses to hand it over to him. Rowlet spots the group as Tupp and Rapp quarrel and alerts Ash. Pikachu arrives and uses to save Eevee from Tupp and Rapp, while Popplio catches it. Lana is overjoyed to see Popplio but is perplexed by Eevee as it greets the group's Pokémon. Ash and his classmates quickly realize that Eevee is apparently friends with their Pokémon already.
Tupp demands Ash and his friends hand over the Eevee to them, but this immediately infuriates Rapp and the pair argue once again. Lana scoops the Eevee in her arms as the trio of Grunts continue to quarrel. Ash is unimpressed by Team Skull's behavior and shouts that they don't deserve Eevee because they do not treat Eevee properly. The claim immediately infuriates Tupp, Zipp and Rapp and the trio decide to take Eevee by force.

The trio of Grunts make the first move, with Salandit launching a , Garbodor attempts a and Zubat screams out a . Lana calls for Popplio to use Aqua Jet, but the attack instead develops into a powerful wall of water which washes over Team Skull's attacks.

Kiawe and Charizard are startled as the Grunts soar passed them, and the pair soon join Ash and the others. Eevee is left with a large bump on its head from the impact, but is happy to be with its friends. Lana pets both Popplio and Eevee, as the others note that the pair of Pokémon make a great team. Ash suggests that Lana that she should catch Eevee, and the idea startles Lana at first. She watches as Eevee plays with Popplio in the ocean, and seeing its affinity with the sea, she decides to nickname it "Sandy." Her classmates are a little surprised, since a Pokémon is usually supposed to be nicknamed after it's been caught. Lana and Popplio formally ask Eevee to join them, and it happily agrees to the idea. With that, Lana pulls a Dive Ball from her pocket and throws it into the air. The Dive Ball soon pulls Sandy inside, and after a few sways, the capture is complete. Lana performs a victory pose with the Dive Ball in hand.
Back at home, the family feast is all prepared as Harper and Sarah parade around with Sandy. Lana's father arrives home, and the twins happily embrace him. Sandy rushes into Lana's father to greet him, much to his surprise. Lana explains that she only caught Sandy today and that it loves the sea. Lana's father instantly remembers that he recently saw an Eevee out at sea riding on a Mantine. Lana goes on to give Sandy's long fringe a haircut, much to Sandy's pleasure. With the hair now out of its eyes, the family takes a photo to commemorate the occasion.
