As part of Lychee's practical lesson on Akala Island, the gang are sent on treasure hunts across the island mounted on Mooland, each of which reacts differently to its rider: Satoshi's Mooland is extremely friendly and enthusiastic, Suiren's Mooland does not seem to like her, and Lillie has trouble even getting close to her Mooland. In the first round, Satoshi finds three gemstones, Mao finds giant mushrooms, Kaki finds a large fossil, Suiren and Māmane find nothing and Lillie is still trying to approach her Mooland. In the second round, Suiren and Ashimari run into a hostile Pokémon which is fought off by her Mooland, an Alolan Isitsubute Satoshi mistakes for a fossil gets away when he tries to catch it, Mao finds a giant fruit, Kaki finds another fossil, Māmane uses technology to find a piece of meteorite, and Suiren finds a lump of metal that can be made into a Z-ring, making her the winner. At last, Lillie uses her experiences with Shiron and Pikachu to finally get close to her Mooland.
