1. In Episode 13, “An Unexpected Picnic!,” Rising Volt Tackler mechanic Orla reveals that part of the Brave Olivine is acting up, triggering the computer system to run an automatic scan to check for errors. The crew decides to make the most of this time by having a picnic, where they assemble sandwiches and play with their Pokémon. Roy even meets a wild Wattrel who steals his sandwich. The crew returns to the ship only to discover that something has delayed the automatic scan, and Friede and Dot ominously conclude that something is very wrong with the Brave Olivine, further delaying their departure to Galar to pursue information about the black Rayquaza.

   What part of the ship does Orla initially report is acting up?

2. In Episode 14, “Fly! Wattrel!,” Dot is desperately trying to fix the airship’s wireless communications but isn’t having much luck. Noctowl alerts Friede to the presence of a group of Magneton near the ship, and Friede and Charizard chase them away but are lured into a battle with a Beheeyem. Meanwhile, Liko and Murdock go shopping in town for cooking supplies, and Roy becomes determined to help the wild Wattrel learn to fly. In the process, Fuecoco disturbs some wild Pokémon, and Roy, Fuecoco, and Wattrel get chased by a particularly angry Pokémon. Ultimately, Roy’s efforts are successful, and Wattrel learns to fly—then decides it wants to join Roy on his journey. Later, Spinel of the Explorers manages to isolate Liko and steal her pendant, erasing her and Sprigatito’s memories in the process.

3. In Episode 15, “Someone We Can’t See! Whosawhatsit?,” Liko is disoriented after bumping into Spinel, who steals her pendant. In fact, Liko can’t remember why she’s back in Paldea. The Rising Volt Tacklers are worried about Liko’s prolonged absence and go looking for her, with Dot using the internet to search for rumors about a Pokémon Trainer with a Sprigatito. Dot reaches out to Iono for help finding Liko, which kicks off an intense game of hide and seek. With Dot and Iono working together, the Rising Volt Tacklers find Liko, who slowly regains her memory. But with the return of her memory, Liko makes the unfortunate discovery that her pendant is missing.

   While Liko is still disoriented, she pulls something out of her bag but says she doesn’t know what it is. What does Liko pull out of her bag?

4. In Episode 16, “Quaxly, We Can Do It!,” the Rising Volt Tacklers are determined to challenge the Explorers to get Liko’s pendant back. But first, Dot needs to catch Quaxly to make it her official partner Pokémon. The Rising Volt Tacklers track down Spinel on a cargo ship just as it leaves port, and Dot and Quaxly have their first battle together against Spinel’s Magneton and Beheeyem. Liko and Roy climb aboard the ship just in time to join Dot in battle, and during the fight, Sprigatito manages to grab the pendant from Spinel. Arboliva emerges to rescue Liko, Roy, and Dot. Afterward, Dot shares an important secret about her identity with Liko, and the Explorers try to understand the mysterious power behind Liko’s pendant.

   During the battle against Dot, Spinel orders Magneton to use which attack against Quaxly?

5. In Episode 17, “Special Training Time!,” Roy’s Fuecoco and Wattrel spend a lot of time fighting, and no one is really sure why. Orla asks Liko if she’s also planning to catch a second Pokémon, but Liko is surprised by the question. Roy hopes that training together will increase the bond between Fuecoco and Wattrel. Their first battle with Captain Pikachu doesn’t go well, but Roy develops a new strategy involving Wattrel’s Spark and Fuecoco’s Ember. After a lot of hard work, Roy, Fuecoco, and Wattrel challenge Captain Pikachu once again. Though they aren’t able to score a victory, everyone is impressed by their creativity and cooperation.

   What does Roy call the strategy his Pokémon use to defeat Captain Pikachu in battle?

6. In Episode 18, “Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!,” Liko and Roy are curious about Captain Pikachu after Roy’s battle against it. With Dot’s help, Liko and Roy begin asking questions that dive into Captain Pikachu’s history, as well as the history of the Brave Olivine and its crew. Friede reveals that he had quit his job as a corporate researcher and found himself fishing with Ludlow on board the Olivine, which was then just a boat. Friede was jealous that Ludlow had a boat and could go wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted. It was then that Friede’s former teacher, Lucca, suggested he meet a certain wild Pokémon. Friede insisted he already knew everything there was to know about Pikachu—until Friede learned that this Pikachu can fly. Friede and Pikachu soon became partners, and Friede asked Ludlow if he could use the Olivine. From there, Friede asked his childhood friend, Orla, to turn the Olivine into an airship. After Friede concludes his story, Liko, Roy, and Dot catch sight of the Galar region.

   While fishing with Ludlow, which Pokémon does Friede catch?

7. In Episode 19, “The Bittersweet Truth,” the Brave Olivine arrives in Motostoke. Friede reveals that they’ll be traveling by train from Motostoke to Hammerlocke, but the train isn’t running that day, so Orla goes shopping for ship parts. Murdock, Liko, and Roy go shopping for food, and Dot requests that they stop by the Battle Café for a special treat. While there, Murdock runs into a former colleague named Mitchell, who refuses to battle Murdock for the cotton candy Dot wants. Murdock tells Liko and Roy about his former partnership and rivalry with Mitchell that ended when Milcery evolved into the Ruby Swirl form of Alcremie. Liko convinces Mitchell to battle Murdock, and they ultimately apologize to one another for their past fight.

   What treat does Dot ask Liko and Roy to bring from the Battle Café?

8. In Episode 20, “Kabu’s Battle Training!,” Liko and Roy encounter Motostoke Gym Leader Kabu at the Battle Café. Roy chases Kabu down, hoping to get information about the black Rayquaza, but Kabu insists that Liko and Roy need to demonstrate their strength as Pokémon Trainers first. In their first test, Roy and Fuecoco have to light the wicks of some Litwick as Liko and Sprigatito simultaneously try to extinguish the flames. Afterward, Liko and Roy battle against Kabu and Wakaba, a Gym Trainer apprentice. After Kabu’s Centiskorch knocks out Fuecoco, Liko and Wakaba battle against each other. Afterward, Kabu compliments Liko and Roy’s skills as Pokémon Trainers and reveals that he saw the black Rayquaza flying west. The Rising Volt Tacklers decide to check Galar Mine for the Legendary Pokémon, and Liko realizes she needs to discover her own path as a Pokémon Trainer.

   Which Pokémon does Wakaba use in her battle against Liko?

9. In Episode 21, “The Lonely Hatenna,” Liko is talking with Ann about a school assignment when Ann reveals that she caught a Sandshrew. Liko is reluctant to catch a new Pokémon and reveals she’s not sure what to write for her essay. Then, Friede, Liko, and Roy hike out to Galar Mine to look for the black Rayquaza. Liko shares that she’s uncertain what kind of Pokémon Trainer she should be, and Friede assures her that there are plenty of paths. When it starts raining, the trio takes shelter in a mountain hut only to discover a Hatenna asleep inside. Liko is worried the Hatenna is sick and brings it back to the ship, but Molly says Hatenna seems physically fine. Liko realizes Hatenna is easily overwhelmed by emotions, but it also feels lonely when it tries to avoid other people and Pokémon. She tries to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito intervenes and encourages Hatenna to join Liko’s team. After Liko realizes she’s not ready for their adventures together to end, she catches Hatenna, and the group resumes the journey to Galar Mine.

   When Murdock and Orla are caught arguing, they reassure Hatenna that they’re friends by saying they’re “thick as” what?

10. In Episode 22, “Charge! Galar Mine!,” Friede, Liko, and Roy finally arrive at Galar Mine in search of the black Rayquaza. The wild Pokémon in the mine seem on edge, but the Rising Volt Tacklers aren’t sure why. The group gets separated when Sprigatito and Fuecoco take off chasing wild Pokémon. Meanwhile, Amethio, Zirc, and Onia of the Explorers have also found the mine. Liko ends up feeding the wild Pokémon some treats that Murdock made, and Liko and Roy encounter human workers who have been sapped of their energy. The Explorers confront the Rising Volt Tacklers, but the battle is interrupted when the Pokémon they thought was the black Rayquaza arrives, and it’s actually a Galarian Moltres. It fiercely attacks them, and Liko and Roy escape via a mine cart after Captain Pikachu intervenes on their behalf. This leaves Friede and Amethio to face the enraged, powerful Pokémon.

    Aboard the airship, Murdock takes a sip of what he thinks is coffee before coughing and saying there’s something wrong with the drink. What is Murdock actually drinking?

11. In Episode 23, “Fiery Galarian Moltres,” Liko and Roy take their Pokémon to the Pokémon Center, where they bump into Friede, who successfully escaped the mine. When Roy’s Pokémon start fighting again, the team forms a plan to use Sprigatito’s calming scent to quell Galarian Moltres’s anger. The trio returns to the mine to confront the Pokémon once more. Sprigatito rides on Charizard’s back to get closer to Galarian Moltres, but the encounter doesn’t go as planned. Finally, Liko approaches Galarian Moltres, demanding to know why it’s so angry. When it looks like the Pokémon might attack, Arboliva emerges to protect Liko. Everyone works together to enhance Sprigatito’s aroma, and Galarian Moltres finally calms down and begins talking to Liko’s pendant. Terapagos emerges from the pendant, and eventually, the Ancient Adventurer Lucius appears as well, seemingly comforting Galarian Moltres. After Lucius vanishes, Galarian Moltres disappears into its Ancient Poké Ball. Kabu appears outside the mine to make sure no one was injured when the cave collapsed.

    Which Pokémon is with Kabu and the mine worker when they meet up with Friede, Liko, and Roy?
