The following day, Mallow hosts a tasting party at Aina's Kitchen, where she unveils her first-ever menu dedicated to Pokémon. While eating, Kiawe turns his attention to Ash, saying Olivia will be the referee for their match tomorrow. Sophocles asks Lillie about her progress with Magearna, but she admits her attempts so far have failed. Ash and the others urge Lillie to continue on, certain her observation and empathy will get through to Magearna. That night, while studying her father's notes on Magearna, Lillie hones in on Magearna's component, giving it a zap of electricity and a polish in the hope of reawakening it, but to no avail. Lillie and Snowy eventually fall asleep beside Magearna. The next morning, they spot a drawing of Magearna together with in Mohn's journal.

The flaming meteoric shower hits Charizard, knocking it down. Lycanroc sneers at its fallen foe, but it soon collapses from its own exhaustion.
Ash and Kiawe urge their Pokémon to get up, but neither of them responds. Olivia prepares to call the match a draw, when Lycanroc suddenly rises back up, thus giving Ash the victory. Kiawe accepts his defeat, recalling Charizard and thanking Ash for the match. Olivia is overwhelmed by their emotions and admits the battle was awesome. She asks the boys about their next plans to become stronger. Ash admits he still has to figure it out, while Kiawe declares his intent is to complete his island challenge, master new kinds of Z-Moves, and become an island kahuna like his grandfather. Olivia tells Kiawe that he will need to know about the outside for a broader perspective, as does Ash.
That evening, checks on Lillie as she continues to intensely focus on reawakening Magearna. Lillie apologizes for calling him over on such a short notice, admitting that she wanted to have Zoroark to meet Magearna. Gladion is perplexed by the request, and Lillie shows him the sketch of Zoroark and Magearna together, explaining that Zoroark must have seen their father conducting his research. Gladion complies, calling Zoroark out. When Zoroark emerges from its Dusk Ball, it is immediately overcome with familiarity if its surroundings and Magearna. Zoroark creates an , showing Gladion and Lillie a flashback of Mohn working on Magearna, with an infant Lillie watching on. The illusionary baby Lillie even manages to learn to walk, overwhelming the illusionary with joy as she enters the room. As Mohn asks Magearna to look after his daughter, Lillie is drawn to tears by the historic vision. Suddenly, a stream of purple lights beam from Magearna's Soul-Heart, blinding everyone in the room and inadvertently ending the illusion. As the light dies down, they see that Magearna is moving once again. Magearna bows to Lillie and presents her with a flower bouquet. Lillie accepts the bouquet and proceeds to hug her now-awakened friend. Gladion, Zoroark, and Snowy smile at the touching scene.
Meanwhile, Ash stares at the full moon through his bedroom window, recalling Olivia's earlier advice on knowing the outside world. Filled with inspiration, he abruptly leaps from his bedsheets, disturbing Pikachu and Rotom's sleep.
