▲ Although the practical application test ended with disappointing results, Liko and Nyarote have grown a lot through the training.

The trainees battle hard to show how much they've grown during their Terastal training! The Gym Leaders who helped them during their training also come to the academy, so there is a lot of excitement! But then Dot gets a call on her Smartphone Rotom......!?


▲ It doesn't matter if they passed or failed! The last part of the Terastal training is flashy battles!


▲ It's so exciting that everyone from the academy gathered at the battlefields!

▲ The two of them run through the empty school. What is going on!?


▲ This is Agate and she has infiltrated the academy as a teacher! What is she up to in that dark room!?
