At a Pokémon Center, Mollie, now working as a nurse, sees that a group of Pokémon has been injured in a forest and rushes to help them. Meanwhile, after overhearing someone explain what is happening in the forest, Liko and Roy decide to check it out for themselves. There, they come across Mollie and have a conversation. In a flashback, after the team discusses their futures and accepts that there is nothing more for them to do, the Rising Volteccers disband. Shortly after, they encounter more Pokémon affected by poison and eventually spot a Ruffresia that has been affected by Rakurium. After battling the Ruffresia, Tebrim learns Healing Wish to calm it down. Following that, Cap spots a facility belonging to Exceed.
