The Pokémon School students continue their research. Old friends come into the picture as Ida and Kanoa return, helping Lana with training Popplio and Sandy. Meanwhile, Sophocles heads to Vast Poni Canyon in hopes of evolving Charjabug.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Cassandra Truth: Horatio ignores Sophocles's warning when he runs across the clearly run-down bridge, thinking he's lying. Sure enough, the ropes break and he has to be rescued.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Some Meltan appear on the ocean floor, emerging from a box that looks like the Mystery Box from Pokémon GO.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: As it evolves, Charjabug's shell opens to show its pre-evolved form Grubbin glowing underneath before it makes the metamorphosis to its final state.
- Took a Level in Badass: Ho boy...
- Lana's Popplio evolves to Brionne, and Ida gives her a Primarium Z crystal.
- Ida's Brionne has evolved to Primarina.
- Sophocles's Charjabug evolves to Vikavolt.
- Lana's Popplio evolves to Brionne, and Ida gives her a Primarium Z crystal.
