How will their first day go?
Liko, Roy and Dot have gone to visit Kaede, the Gym Leader of Cercle Town, for Liko's Terastal training assessment test. They make it to her shop "Patisserie Mukuroji" without any issues, but then Sango from the Explorers barges in and the situation somehow turns into a confectionery cooking competition......?! How will Liko and Nyarote's Terastal training go?
Roy's opponent for his Terastal training assessment test is Colza! Roy is eager to battle him, but Colza has to postpone the training due to being busy preparing the art festival that's going to be held in Bowl Town. Just then, Nemo happens to pass by and asks Roy for a battle, which he agrees to. But when Colza watches their battle, it seems he has some thoughts about Roy's battle style...?
Now that Liko and Roy have taken their assessment test, the last one in line is Dot, whose tester Gym Leader Nanjamo tells her the assessment test will be streamed live on Donnamonja TV. Dot battles Roy as a rehearsal for the stream, but is so nervous about the cameras she's unable to work well with Kuwassu...?!
Dot and Kuwassu are finally going to take Nanjamo's assessment test! They had researched Nanjamo's battles in advance, developed a strategy and taken infallible countermeasures... or so they thought, but they still end up struggling greatly against Harabarie, who's a poor type matchup for Kuwassu. In addition, an unexpected incident takes place...? Will Dot be able to pass the test?!
Liko, Roy and Dot are observing and gathering information on wild Pokémon in order to find a subject to write a report on. Dot tells Liko about a mysterious phenomenon called the "Flower Pillar" that will reportedly bring happiness to those who see it, and Liko decides to search for it with Nyarote to write a report on it. But for some reason, Nyarote is currently in a rather bad mood...?!
As Liko, Roy and Dot continue observing wild Pokémon for their report, Kaiden gets frustrated with its inability to fly properly in strong wind to the point of getting into a fight with Hogator. That night, it secretly sneaks out of the tent to practice flying by itself, but when Roy and Hogator notices it's gone, they go searching for it. However, unnoticed by them all, a shadow draws near...
Liko, Roy and Dot go into a forest to search for something called "the unworldly" that a mysterious person told Roy about. As they cautiously head through the forest, they meet three people that look just like them?! Apparently these three Trainers have also encountered "the unworldly"... But just what IS "the unworldly"?
Having completed their tests, Liko and the others return to Orange Academy. Meanwhile, Friede pursues the mystery of Terapagos.
What awaits Liko and the others as they return to Orange Academy is an exhibition match against the Paldea Big Four!! It's time for dream matches like Roy and Colza VS Hassaku and Dot and Nanjamo VS Poppy!
Liko teams up with Kaede and takes on Chili in a battle, and, having just realized how fun it is to battle for real, Terastallizes Nyarote. Chili counters by likewise Terastallizing Dooh. Who will win?!
Liko and the others visit Clavel and Omodaka together with Friede, where they're given some information on Terapagos. However, it seems the two of them know nothing at all about the "Ancient Adventurer" or "Laqua". Instead, they introduce the group to Orange Academy's history teacher Raifort, who they think might know something.
Liko and the others help out at a struggling eatery that uses a Dodogezan as its mascot.
Dot's Terastal training practical application test finally begins! Her battle opponent is Chanpuru Town's Gym Leader Aoki! Unlike the assessment test, the practical application test requires battling with two Pokémon... Will Dot manage to pass with Kuwassu and Kanuchan's help?!
As Liko and the others head towards Fridge Town for Roy's practical application test, they arrive at Mt. Napper, where Roy and Hogator are overjoyed at seeing snow for the first time! After taking their time interacting with lots of the Pokémon that live on Mt. Napper, the group decides to spend the night at a mountain cabin. But when Roy and Hogator go searching for firewood, they end up getting separated in the snow...?!
Liko and the others have arrived in Fridge Town. Roy's opponent for his practical application test is Lime, who's both a Gym Leader and a famous rapper, and Roy will need to put on an impromptu performance in order to battle her. Roy happily takes on this challenge, but Lime has no intent of going easy on him!
Roy is in low spirits after getting told by Lime he failed her practical application test, but takes Nemo's advice to do some Hyper Training before challenging her again. While training, he tries thinking of something he can use to win when he remembers Lime asking him why he and Hogator were singing. Why did Lime ask him that...? And will Roy and Hogator be able to win their rematch?!
It's finally time for Liko's practical application test. The group has gone to the Mt. Napper Gym so she can challenge Grusha, where they drop by the "Arukujira Slide" while waiting for the test to begin. There, the operator tells them about Grusha's past... And then, Liko, Nyarote and Tebrim get attacked by Grusha, the man known as the strongest Gym Leader in the Paldea region!
Liko is feeling down after being told by Grusha she failed the practical application test... In order to cheer her up, Roy and Dot decide to take her to the summit of Mt. Napper, the highest point in the region and one of the Ten Sights of Paldea. However, Spinel from the Explorers is keeping them under surveillance...
Spinel's plan seemed to have worked and in the process of it, Liko is trapped in a cave with Amethio and unable to get out. To make things worse, Roy and Dot have been stopped by Sidian and Coral, in order to prevent their search for Liko. What was Spinel's true plan and will Liko manage to escape from the cave?
With the Terastal training over, Liko and the others have returned to Orange Academy. There, it turns out that battles between the trainees are going to be held in order to deepen their friendship.

Apparently some sort of plan is going to be set into motion during the trainee battles?!
It's time for the trainee battles after Liko, Dot and Roy have passed the Terastallization Application Test. However, Liko & Roy have learned that their battle is with eachother.

Meanwhile, Roy and Achigator accidentally touch a machine set up at a stall, which causes them to switch bodies...?!
After hearing that Briar is at Terasu Pool, Liko and the others start climbing Oni Mountain. On the way, Kanuchan is overjoyed to spot some nice iron, and starts pounding it with its hammer. Dot is overwhelmed with emotions from seeing Kanuchan's hammer grow in size so suddenly... but then a wild Otoshidori shows up and takes Kanuchan's iron.
As Liko and the others reach Terasu Pool, they locate Briar, who becomes extremely excited when she sees the Terapagos Liko has with her!! When they ask Briar about Terapagos, she takes out the Scarlet Book and starts explaining to them how it concerns the adventures of her ancestor Heather in Area Zero of the Great Crater of Paldea...

And then one night, Entei appears with a loud roar, challenging Liko and the others to a battle in order to test them!
