• Chu Xin struggled with reporters after the victory, then took Xiao Wu to the Monster Rescue Center for treatment.
• Aier and Farfetch'd arrived at the rescue center, where Farfetch'd admired Xiao Wu and imagined becoming a powerful fighter himself.
• Zhuo Yuan told Chu Xin that Dynamax Energy usually made monsters break free of their handlers' control and asked how he had removed its effects.
• Chu Xin said Xiao Wu still regarded him as his Trainer, leading Zhuo Yuan to wonder whether strong emotional bonds could withstand Dynamax Energy.

After winning the championship, Chu Xin chose Jindu Academy and persuaded Chen Huan to join him and research Dynamax energy. Back at the villa, Chu Xin discovered that the rescued Farfetch'd had an unusual talent for psychic powers.

• Chu Lian saw news of Chu Xin's championship and wondered whether he should have another child to inherit the family fortune.
• Chu Xin relaxed with Xiao Wu, then learned from Aier that the rescued Farfetch'd could read because it had a talent for psychic powers.

Chu Xin discovered that Farfetch'd possessed a hidden psychic talent that let him strike vital spots, and offered to train him after he defeated Aier's Squirtle. Farfetch'd accepted capture, becoming Chu Xin's second Pokémon, while Aier resolved to intensify Squirtle's training.

• Chu Xin asked Aier about Farfetch'd's psychic talent, and Aier confirmed that he could sense it despite how well Farfetch'd hid it.

• Chu Xin asked Aier to battle Kaka after training, and Aier agreed, insisting her previous loss had been a fluke.

After Kaka lost a second battle to Squirtle, Chu Xin resolved to train him and Xiao Wu at the Jindu Gym. Chen Huan could not resign as Gym Leader because no replacement was available, but he showed Chu Xin a special room suitable for Kaka’s training.

• Squirtle defeated Kaka by wearing him down with ranged attacks, and Chu Xin pointed out Kaka’s poor stamina, battle experience, and overall fitness.
• Chu Xin encouraged Kaka to endure hardship and grow stronger, then decided to take him to the Jindu Gym for proper training.
• Chu Xin told Xiao Wu he would train too, reminding him that he had only narrowly beaten Bai Le’s Scyther with dynamax energy.
• At the Jindu Gym, Chen Huan explained that he could not resign because the gym’s debts and lack of a replacement deterred anyone from taking over.
• Chen Huan recognized that Kaka was an unusual Farfetch’d with a special Psychic-type talent and led Chu Xin to the room where he trained Vespiquen.

Chu Xin tested Xiao Wu and Kaka in Chen Huan's projectile-dodging training room, discovering that Xiao Wu performed poorly while Kaka showed surprising skill and determination. Though Kaka was badly hurt, he kept fighting, and Chen Huan believed he would become strong someday.

• Chen Huan demonstrated the training room with Vespiquen, who dodged every rubber ball without being hit.
• Xiao Wu failed to dodge the balls and hid in a corner, so Chu Xin threatened to halve his daily Pokéblocks unless he trained.
• Kaka entered the training room and dodged the balls, sometimes batting them away with his leek as his stamina faded.
• Xiao Wu resolved to surpass Kaka after watching his performance.
• Chu Xin asked Chen Huan to stop the training when Kaka was struck repeatedly, but Kaka stood back up and continued defending himself.
