## Plot

The episode begins on a clear night. In the Juniper Laboratory in Unova, Aurea grabs a piece of paper and an ink quill. With Cina on her shoulder, Aurea begins to write. She stops after a moment, however, and thinks back on an incident that resulted in her being unable to fight until Fennel helped her. After crying for a moment, Aurea looks at the window and says she's worried about Nanette.

The next day in Johto, the Guardians let their Pokémon out for some fresh air. Before they go to the park, Baelz appears in upside down to see the Guardians go to the park for the fun ways. Meanwhile, a few Guardians were also training for their Pokémon battles too. Before Melody could call the others, a girl named Honami runs to Glorysia for a talk. Before Maya asks, she takes Glorysia to the park for a special surprise, much to Fauna and Hillary's shock.

During the walk, Gigi, getting an idea, asks Nanette if she and the other Pokémon can go play at the nearby playground. While Ash is initially anxious at letting Thunders go out on his own, Thunders assures him he can take care of himself, and Ash agrees. The Pokémon, after saying goodbye, then happily head off. However, Elizabeth grabs Dragonet by the fin and doesn't let her leave. She asks why, but she says she'll let her go in a few minutes, when in reality, she doesn't want her to go at all due to being too worried.

Accepting this, Dragonet plays for a few minutes inside the Water Pokémon Aqua Pot before coming out and asking if she can go now. Her Trainer again refuses and says to wait a few more minutes. Said amount of time passes, and Dragonet is starting to get annoyed when she asks again and her request is again denied. Nanette asks Elizabeth why she won't let Dragonet go have fun, and out of her earshot, she admits that she is way too worried to let her out of her sight at all. She says that she cares about her and doesn't want her to get hurt or lost, pointing out that Ninja Dragonets can't survive on their own. Despite understanding, Ash and Nanette gently tell her that she should let her go have fun at the playground, and Ash (who laughs at the idea of Dragonet going insane and starving from being on her own for 30 minutes) says he too was worried about his beloved Thunders' safety but let him go, but she snaps and yells at them not to tell her how to raise her Pokémon and insists that she alone knows what's best for them. Nanette, Jim, Marina, and Ash sigh and agree that this won't turn out well. Finally, Dragonet has had enough, puts her babies down, jumps out of the Aqua Pot, and goes up and demands to know why she can't go to the playground like the other Pokémon and have fun like them.

She only gets the reponse "because I said so," irritating her more. When she demands a real answer, the two start to argue as the others sweatdrop and watch, with Ash and Julia finding it amusing (causing Nanette to slap them). Nanette tries to intervene and tells her that she seriously should listen to her and her go to the playground, only to get slapped and called "Lil' Daisy" in an insulting manner. Elizabeth finally yells, "YOU ARE NOT GOING TO THE PLAYGROUND UNSUPERVISED, EVER! DO YOU HEAR ME?!", causing Dragonet to snap back with "You know what?! I really don't like you right now!", which stuns the others. She jerks out of her grip, uses Magnet Rise, and defiantly floats off the playground anyways. While the other Guardians go to follow Dragonet and talk to her, Elizabeth (incorrectly) interprets what Dragonet just said as meaning she hates her and doesn't understand her concern for her, which overhears Mumei and Fauna. Devastated and heartbroken, she falls to her knees in depression, not noticing her Power Necklace and her Harmony Gem ring are glowing dark purple. As she cries, her Harmony Gem fills up, combines with her Power Necklace, and they shatter into a Grief Seed.

Meanwhile, Glorysia was feeling bored after she just checked her new star holder were given by Honami. She asked her about her confession between Glorysia and her "old friend" Isabella Starton (Hoshino Ichika). She blushed a little bit while petting Skylinda. Glory remembered that she wished for a surprise, but Honami gave her an apple pie as a gift. Once she eat the apple pie, Glorysia were blessed that the apple pie were delicious and tasty. She were loved in joy. Mumei appears and introduce herself, which made Glorysia's delight.

On the other hand, however, Bailey (who didn't follow Dragonet) sees the Grief Seed in Elizabeth's hand and goes to alert the other Guardians, to whom Dragonet is expressing her frustration on the park bench over her Trainer being too overprotective of her. She vents that she loves her Trainer dearly but can't stand her extreme obsession with her safety. Suddenly, Bailey runs over and tells everycreature the bad news: that Elizabeth has become a witch. Despite being quite frustrated at her Trainer, Dragonet expresses extreme shock. The group runs over, but she is already gone and there is only a portal - a witch barrier - nearby. The Guardians head into the barrier, marveling at all the comfy furniture and all the pictures of her and Dragonet on the walls and Mikey has to stop Nanette from getting too comfy on all the furniture. As Dragonet calls out to her Trainer, everycreature sees a gigantic Braviary on a perch above, who is crying alone. Suddenly, after seeing Dragonet, she introduces herself as Behaver, immediately starts yelling how she wants Dragonet back, and attempts to grab her with her talons, only for Jim to stop her. Nanette tries to get her to stop, only for her to forcibly steal Jim's, Miranda's, Alison's, Ethan's, and Molly's love and make them pass out. She leaves the barrier and starts to angrily chase the heroes while carelessly knocking down civilians and smashing cars, forcing them to transform.

As she sucks up more love from civilians, causing more to scream and run away, and smashes down buildings in rage, she keeps screaming that all she wants is for Dragonet to not hate her anymore. She summons a whole bunch of Rufflet (her familiars) to go help her hunt for Dragonet and instructs them to bring her best friend back to her uninjured and alive. The Rufflet familiars fly out and scout around as the heroes and their Pokémon, who are having a quick snack, hide in an alleyway. Dragonet says that she wants her Trainer to stop destroying buildings and rampaging, but at the same time doesn't have the heart to face her. Suddenly, she is scooped up by a Rufflet familiar and is nearly carried off before Bailey shoots it with a giant bullet-like seed, and Nanette realizes that those are Behaver's familiars. The building the heroes are hiding behind suddenly gets smashed down, and Melody is trapped under the rubble. The giant Braviary proceeds to steal Melody's love, and she sucks up a huge amount, making her pass out cold. She yells that she wants her best friend back and will do anything to make her love her again, but Dragonet begs her to stop and tells her that love is supposed to be given freely, not forcibly taken. She refuses to listen and orders her familiars to grab Dragonet, but Nanette blocks them with a light attack before they can.

Back at Glorysia, she heard some few people screaming and an explosion in far away while talking, but the one who had their love stolen, were also falls into thr ground. Glorysia, Mumei and Honami all three shocked to see the occurrence. Honami tell that she needs to find who did it, but Baelz said it's dangerous to go alone without her protector. She runway without Baelz's warning, whule Glorysia and Mumei both two were go to chase her.

Many more smashed buildings and stoles everyone's love later, Behaver sucks up Nanette's love and steals it forcibly enough that her soul is also vacuumed out of her body, killing her. Marina is horrified and furious, bursting in angry tears, and which Mumei activates her Berserk Button angrily. Before Sana can react, Honami running to the destroyed buildings while Behaver targeted on her, decides to flew to her and start stealing love from her. Before she can steal love from Honami, Glorysia with the star holder appears and yelled "STOP HURTING HER!" and her star holder glowing in distance, making a bright stars burst from the holder, while the girls were protected by the ball without hurting the girls. Once the translucent magic ball were disappeared, Glorysia asks Honami is she okay.

Dragonet finally gathers the courage to confront Behaver. She uses Magnet Rise, floats up to her, and while addrsssing her as her real name, says that she knows she cares about her and that her intentions are good, and tells her she loves her more than anything, but then calls her out for being too overprotective, for being ridiculous by destroying buildings and scaring civilians, and for not considering her feelings. The witch, after hearing this and realizing she never said she hated her, is left stunned and remorseful, and begins to calm down. Marina then seizes the opportunity to purify the witch, and furiously transforms into her Elemaximum form, preparing to purify her. She angrily uses her attack at full power to purify the witch and return her to normal while annoyedly muttering to herself that "she's acting just like Marlin" and then screaming determinedly as she uses the attack. The gigantic Braviary is purified a la *Heartcatch Pretty Cure*, returning to normal as a new Power Necklace and Harmony Gem appear out of thin air and fall down next to her. Everycreature's love returns, and so does Nanette's soul.

Once Jim calls Marinette to repair the destruction, which she does, Elizabeth cries in remorse after realizing what she has done and how she only pushed Dragonet away, but Dragonet comes up, fins her her glasses, and hugs her Trainer in relief. She says that she needs to be less overprotective of her and give her some more freedom, which she agrees to try, but is glad that she is alright, and the two express their mutual love for each other (causing Molly's Harmony Mark to glow). Suddenly, everycreature's attention turns to an unconscious Marina, and Nanette cries while trying to wake up her sister to no avail. Bailey realizes that Marina heavily sanged (and has to explain what it is to Miranda), making Nanette cry even harder after what Bailey just said and Elizabeth is left horrified and cries at what she has done.

Mumei, was learned a new way, the "love" and "hate". She reveals that the Ninja Dragonets are in trainer's side but they can wander off without the trainer's permission by the law. As the episode ends, Dragonet comforts both of them by using Warm Love Hug.

## Trivia

* The cold open is similar to the scenes where the following occur (although also different at the same time):
	+ Lillie writes in her journal (PKMN)
	+ Twilight writes letters to Princess Celestia (MLP)
* In the cold open, Aurea writes a letter to Queen Cosmica. These are the known words written:
	+ *"Dear Queen Cosmica, I would like to tell you that another witch has been purified! It was a lot of work, but my life is truly hectic. And besides..."*
	+ *"...Sometimes love means giving somecreature freedom and independence. Always yours, Professor Aurea Juniper of Unova."*
* This is the 4th time Mumei learned a new way.
* Near the end where Elizabeth tells Dragonet "I love you, Bubbles," and Dragonet replying with "I love you too, Elizabeth-sama," was seen by made-up fans as a *very* heartwarming moment, and Molly's Harmony Mark even glows when that is said.
* The following Harmony Marks can be seen on background civilians:
	+ A turnip jack-o'-lantern.
	+ A yellow star-shaped electric guitar.
	+ Five green peace signs.
	+ A red heart surrounded by what resembles an atom.
	+ A rolled-up scroll held by a brown ribbon.
	+ A magic wand tapping a ball.
	+ A pair of wings with a diamond on top.
* This is one of the few times a character's witch form resembles a Pokémon. This also happens with Aurea's witch form which resembles a Cinccino hand puppet, when Serena T. witches out and resembles a fusion of Cresselia and Darkrai, and the Magikarp corpse witch in "Mason's Sacrifice." In her case, Behaver looks exactly like a Braviary, but is much bigger than a real Braviary. This also applies to her familiars, as they resemble Rufflet.
* Unlike other series' version of this episode, Marina purifies Behaver. In all other series, Dragonet hugs the witch and she calms down enough that Chaos dissipates.

### Easter Eggs

* Nanette's transformation in this episode resembles Usagi's transformation (using the phrase "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!") from *Sailor Moon Crystal*. As a bonus, the song from said transformation plays.
* Upon seeing Behaver, Miranda remarks "Little birdie on a perch, all alone without her fishy!", only for Ethan to slap her. This quote is very similar to Chat Blanc's song that he sings in the ruins of Paris in the *Miraculous Ladybug* episode "Chat Blanc," "Little kitty on a roof, all alone without his lady."
* The scene of Behaver being purified resembles purifications in *Heartcatch Pretty Cure*.
* When Behaver attacks the civilians, one man can be seen enchanting his blue Ford and driving it away into the sky to escape from Behaver, while one woman can be seen giving her bike wings and riding it away into the sky. The former references the flying Ford from *Harry Potter*.
* The first scene during the Divinity's rescue sequence in "The Magic of Friendship Grows" is implied to be from this episode. However, it is changed from Elizabeth not caring that her Harmony Gem is at its limit to her glancing at it in her hand and being terrified of what will happen any second, to make it more similar to the green-haired girl looking at her corrupted Soul Gem and knowing what is going to happen in moments.
* The Rufflet familiars, when confronting Dragonet and attempting to carry her off, shout "RUFRUFRUFRUFRUFRUFRUFRUFRUFRUF!!!!!!" in the same tone as the seagulls from *Finding Nemo* shouting "MINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINE!!!!"
