Liko, Roy, and Dot arrive at Mount Napper Gym for Liko's Terastal Training test. Liko's test against Gym Leader Grusha proves challenging, as her Pokémon struggle against both of Grusha's Pokémon. Liko loses the battle after Nyarote is hit by a super-effective Ice Beam. Grusha, known for his harshness towards others, declares the test a failure and refuses a rematch, leaving Liko disappointed but accepting his judgment.
