==Plot==
 is training on the beach with his new partner, a . He thinks they are ready for the next competition, and now they just need a team. Having come up with a strategy that involves two Gardevoir, he decides to go find and ask her to team up with him. However, she declines, stating that he lacks something; when he figures out what that is, he is welcome to come find her again. Wally believes Diantha is talking about his strength, so he decides to go do more training with Gardevoir so he can gain Diantha's approval.
Wally fights his way through the Battle Villa, stoic and serious. Eventually, he loses to . When Noland asks him why he lost and Wally blames his lack of strength, Noland says he is not getting it—what he really needs is to rest and have a bit of fun with his partner. Wally insists that he does not have time to rest, and he heads back to the beach where he and Gardevoir were training earlier. As he brainstorms ideas for what he can do to get stronger, he suddenly realizes that his Gardevoir has disappeared.
Wally runs around town, looking for Gardevoir, wondering if it got tired of battling with him because he was too weak. He spots Noland talking to a group of kids in the plaza and wonders why he is wasting time with that instead of preparing for the competition. He watches Noland challenge one of the kids to battle—a who has never battled before. Noland encourages him to try anyways, and he defeats the Youngster soundly. However, the Youngster says he had a lot of fun even though he lost, and he did not realize Pokémon battles could be this fun. Wally thinks about how happy the kid looks even though he lost, and he remembers that he used to be like that, too. But now he is so focused on winning or losing that he just is not enjoying battles anymore. He cannot even remember the last time he had fun with Gardevoir, and he resolves to apologize to it for how horribly he treated it.
In the forest, Diantha stumbles upon Wally, who is looking for his Gardevoir. He explains that Gardevoir disappeared because he was not being considerate of Gardevoir, and Diantha agrees that that is the flaw she saw with him the other day. She asks him what he is going to do now, and he says he is not going to participate in the competition—he needs to apologize to Gardevoir and do what Gardevoir wants to do, so he can build a better friendship with it. Diantha says he should join the competition in that case, since Gardevoir is clearly eager to battle. Wally turns around and realizes that Gardevoir has returned, and he quickly runs up to it and apologizes for how he treated it. Gardevoir forgives him, and Wally once again asks Diantha to join his team. To his shock, she declines again because she wants to battle against him and Gardevoir rather than with them.
When the competition arrives, Wally's team, consisting of him, Noland, and , makes it to the finals. Diantha's team, consisting of her, , and , also makes it to the finals. The two teams exchange words before beginning the battle. Immediately, Wally, Noland, and Thorton's Pokémon surround Korrina's and take it out. Diantha and Calem are impressed by their strategy, but they keep fighting. Eventually, everyone's Pokémon are knocked out besides the two Gardevoir. Diantha and Wally both Mega Evolve their Gardevoir, but Wally's Gardevoir is ultimately victorious. After the battle, Wally thanks Diantha and Noland for helping him remember how fun battles are, and he starts to ask Diantha a question. She guesses that he wants to talk about teaming up again, so she extends the offer of joining up and forming a team. Wally agrees and says they should go to a café to strengthen their bond as a team, and they look forward to having fun together.
