Arriving at the site, Liko and Roy spot Uruto exiting a bus. Nearly mistaken by a security guard, they head inside, where they see a former student named Dash defeating an Exceed employee with her Swanna using a Strong Sphere. Shortly after, Coral and Sidian appear on the battlefield. The latter notices Liko and Roy and alerts Coral, inviting them to join the battle. Liko and Roy are overpowered by Coral and Sidian and are defeated. However, Uruto steps in, breaks the Strong Sphere he had taken earlier, and escapes with Liko and Roy. Pagogo then senses something coming from a cave, prompting the trio to decide to explore it.
