A year has passed since Liko, Roy, and Dot said goodbye to the Six Heroes in Laqua, and life looks very different for the trio. Captain Pikachu has joined Roy and Crocalor as they search for unusual Pokémon and the black Rayquaza…and they have a new rival named Ult to contend with. Dot has left the Brave Olivine behind for home cooking and new Nidothing broadcasts. And class is back in session at Indigo Academy for Liko—and she’s happy to be roomies with her friend Ann again. But after Roy encounters a Slaking seemingly affected by Laquium, new adventures look to be on the horizon!
