• Zeraora led Chu Xin and the others to a pack of Electrike guarded by Manectric, where he caught one charging Electrike and presented it to Chu Xin.

Chu Xin caught Zeraora's Electrike and received the stones left by its father, Manectric, before Zeraora departed the hidden realm. As Zhuo Yue led the others out, Ai Xing took Chu Xin aside for a private discussion.

Ai Xing told Chu Xin about Dragon Tamer Island and asked him to help Aier with its Trial, where Xiao Wu’s life could be at risk. Chu Xin refused to gamble with Xiao Wu, but after learning Aier and her Garchomp faced the same danger, he was left to consider Ai Xing’s offer for a week.

Chu Xin left Jindu Academy with Ai Xing to travel to Dragon Tamer Island and help rescue Aier. Before their trip continued, Ai Xing gave Chu Xin the island’s rules and warned him to avoid conflict when possible, while promising to take responsibility if trouble arose.

• Chu Xin got Zhuo Yuan’s permission to leave the academy and went to the airport with his four Pokémon.

• Ai Xing gave Chu Xin a booklet of Dragon Tamer Island’s rules and told him to avoid conflict while helping rescue Aier.

Chu Xin and Ai Xing arrived on Dragon Tamer Island, where Ai Xing revealed his hostility toward its elders and said Aier was being kept in Dragon Valley. Ai Xing showed Chu Xin Dragon Valley’s location on a map and told him that he would be going there.

• Chu Xin and Ai Xing landed on Dragon Tamer Island, where a young girl welcomed Ai Xing and drove them toward Dragon Tamer Hall.
• Ai Xing complained about the elders and said he wanted to rescue Aier from Dragon Valley, while the girl warned him not to discuss the valley in front of outsiders.

• After the girl left them in a room, Ai Xing confirmed that Aier was in Dragon Valley and said Chu Xin would be going there.
• Ai Xing spread out a map of Dragon Tamer Island and pointed out Dragon Valley to Chu Xin.

Chu Xin learned that Dragon Valley was a dangerous Dragon-type Pokémon sanctuary where Aier was undergoing the Divine Dragon's Trial. Ai Xing returned to Dragon Tamer Island to take Aier away, but a confrontation with the Dragon Tamer Family escalated when a powerful man refused to let her leave.

• Ai Xing told Chu Xin that Dragon Valley held a Divine Dragon's treasure, strengthened Dragon-type Pokémon, and was the site of Aier's Trial.
• An old man reprimanded Ai Xing for telling Chu Xin about Dragon Valley, and Ai Xing said he had returned to rescue Aier and take her off the island.
• A man confronted Ai Xing for abandoning the Dragon Tamer Family and threatened to stop him from taking Aier away.
• Ai Xing summoned Charizard and challenged the man to repeat his refusal.

Ai Xing negotiated with the Grand Elder for Chu Xin to enter Dragon Valley and take its Trial, hoping Chu Xin could reach Aier. The Grand Elder agreed to arrange entry for the next day, and Ai Xing warned Chu Xin that the Trial’s magnetic field could weaken or even kill those inside.

• The Grand Elder stopped the gathered elders from fighting and warned Elder Ai Yi to stay out of the negotiations.
• Ai Xing refused to accept that Aier had to complete her Trial and proposed that Chu Xin take the Dragon Valley Trial instead.
• Ai Xing showed that Xiao Wu was a Dratini from Dragon Valley and used the Infinite Energy Company’s influence to persuade the Grand Elder to allow Chu Xin entry.
• The Grand Elder agreed to arrange Chu Xin’s entry into Dragon Valley for the next day.
• Ai Xing explained that Chu Xin would face five levels of Trials, each with ten opponents, and that the valley’s magnetic field could weaken people and cause deaths.

Ai Xing gave Chu Xin a Garchomp Mega Evolution Stone and Key Stone to pass to Aier in Dragon Valley, then Chu Xin entered the valley to begin Xiao Wu’s special training. He left Luo Luo analyzing the valley’s magnetic field while Xiao Wu started the Trial.

• Ai Xing told Chu Xin that Aier was on the Trial’s second level and gave him Garchomp’s Mega Evolution Stone and Key Stone to lend her.
• Chu Xin learned he could reach Aier by calling her name after passing the first level, then rested before the Trial.
• The Dragon Tamer Family led Chu Xin to Dragon Valley and gave him a necklace that protected him from the valley’s oppressive magnetic field.
• Chu Xin entered Dragon Valley with Xiao Wu and saw that the magnetic field was making Xiao Wu stronger.
• Chu Xin had Luo Luo analyze the complex magnetic field while Xiao Wu began the challenge.

Chu Xin began the Dragon Valley Trial with Xiao Wu and defeated a powerful Fraxure in the first battle. After Luo Luo confirmed that the valley’s magnetic field strengthened Dragon-type Pokémon’s attacks, Chu Xin prepared to continue the ten-battle challenge.

• Chu Xin entered Dragon Valley with Xiao Wu, adjusted to its magnetic field, and set out to complete the Trial so he could obtain Garchomp’s Mega Evolution Stone for Aier.
• Chu Xin and Xiao Wu crossed the suspension bridge, entered the pyramid arena, and began the Trial, which required ten consecutive victories.
• A Fraxure charged at Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu countered with Dragon Tail and defended against Fraxure’s powerful Dragon Pulse with Protect.
• Chu Xin ordered Xiao Wu to use Thunder Wave, paralyzing Fraxure before Xiao Wu finished it with Hyper Beam.
• A white-robed attendant recalled the defeated Fraxure, and Luo Luo analyzed the battle, confirming that Dragon Valley’s magnetic field strengthened Dragon-type attacks.

Chu Xin and Xiao Wu continued the Dragon Valley Trial, defeating several Pokémon before facing an unusually powerful Flygon. Xiao Wu won after Flygon underwent Primal Reversion, leaving Chu Xin concerned about the strange symbols on its body.

• Xiao Wu defeated an Alolan Exeggutor and a Noivern, while Luo Luo discovered that fighting in Dragon Valley's magnetic field boosted Xiao Wu's physical abilities.
• A Flygon charged toward Chu Xin before the battle, and Luo Luo found that its readings exceeded those of an ordinary Flygon.
• Flygon countered Xiao Wu's Twister with Sandstorm, then used its aerial advantage to attack, but Xiao Wu blocked its strikes.
• Xiao Wu's Aqua Tail knocked Flygon from the air, and Chu Xin warned him to dodge when Flygon began glowing with mysterious power.
• Chu Xin Dynamaxed Xiao Wu, who hit Flygon with Hyper Beam and knocked it unconscious; Chu Xin suspected that Flygon had undergone Primal Reversion.

After witnessing a Flygon use Primal Reversion in Dragon Valley’s Trial, Chu Xin theorized that the valley’s magnetic field—possibly caused by Rayquaza’s Token—enabled the transformation and ordered Luo Luo to analyze it. Chu Xin continued the increasingly difficult Trial with Xiao Wu, who reached the sixth stage exhausted, leaving him to consider how to handle the four battles ahead.

• Chu Xin tried and failed to capture the unconscious Flygon, then analyzed its battle with Xiao Wu and noticed Dragon Valley’s magnetic field had intensified when it used Primal Reversion.
• Chu Xin theorized that the valley’s magnetic field allowed the Flygon to use Primal Reversion and that Rayquaza’s Token was behind the field and its effects on Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Chu Xin ordered Luo Luo to thoroughly analyze Dragon Valley’s special magnetic field while he continued through the Trial with Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Wu defeated the increasingly difficult opponents and reached the sixth stage exhausted, leaving Chu Xin concerned about the four battles remaining and his limited use of Dynamax.

Chu Xin used Dynamaxed Xiao Wu’s Hyper Beam to clear the early Trial stages, but the final opponent of the first level, Noivern, blocked the attack and forced Xiao Wu into a difficult aerial battle. Chu Xin identified the real Noivern among its copies and launched Xiao Wu from underground with Extreme Speed, striking it directly.

• Chu Xin had Dynamaxed Xiao Wu ambush the opponents with Hyper Beam and Dragon Tail, clearing the remaining stages with little stamina spent.
• Noivern blocked Xiao Wu’s Hyper Beam with Protect, and Chu Xin ended Xiao Wu’s Dynamax to dodge Noivern’s sonic attack.
• Xiao Wu dodged Noivern’s sonic waves until Noivern used Double Team, then defended with Twister and took cover underground with Dig to avoid Shadow Balls.
• Chu Xin identified the real Noivern as the one flying highest and Dynamaxed Xiao Wu again.
• Xiao Wu burst out of the ground with Extreme Speed and struck the real Noivern directly.

Chu Xin’s Dynamaxed Xiao Wu battled Noivern, using Thunder Wave and then an enhanced Outrage that made it uncontrollable. Xiao Wu defeated Noivern but nearly killed it with Hyper Beam before Chu Xin’s opponent recalled it.

• Chu Xin had Xiao Wu use Thunder Wave to disrupt Noivern, but Noivern blocked Dragon Tail with Protect and recovered with Roost.
• As Xiao Wu weakened, Chu Xin ordered it to use Outrage, and the reverse scale’s energy made it stronger but harder to control.
• Xiao Wu ignored Chu Xin’s commands and used Breaking Swipe, Dragon Dance, and Blizzard to overpower Noivern.
• Xiao Wu knocked Noivern unconscious, then charged Hyper Beam at it while still enraged.
• Chu Xin’s opponent recalled Noivern just before the beam struck, saving its life.

After Xiao Wu defeated Noivern, it evolved into Dragonair, leaving Chu Xin concerned about the strange Dragonite Outrage scale and its effects. Chu Xin then helped Aier turn a losing battle around by enabling Garchomp to Mega Evolve, and Garchomp defeated Dragonite.

• Xiao Wu evolved into Dragonair after the Trial battle and collapsed from exhaustion as its Outrage aura returned to the Dragonite Outrage around its neck.
• Chu Xin suspected the Dragonite Outrage had altered Xiao Wu's will during its fight with Noivern and decided to investigate it with Chen Huan later.
• Chu Xin went to the second-floor Trial and found Aier's badly injured Garchomp losing to a powerful Dragonite.
• Chu Xin threw Aier a Key Stone, and Aier gave Garchomp the Mega Evolution Stone, triggering Mega Evolution.
• Mega Garchomp overcame Dragonite's attacks, drove it to the ground with Sandstorm, and defeated it with Spike Attack.
• Garchomp returned to its normal form after the battle, while Aier turned to Chu Xin with a dark expression.

Chu Xin reunited with Aier in Dragon Valley, then left to recover after the valley’s magnetic field exhausted him. Back at the Dragon Tamer Family’s outpost, he told Ai Xing that Aier had received the Mega Evolution Stone and was close to completing her Trial.

• Aier confronted Chu Xin in Dragon Valley, learned that Ai Xing had brought him there, and scolded him for trusting Ai Xing.
• Aier said she had one stage left in the second level’s Trial and kicked Chu Xin down to the first level, ordering him to leave Dragon Valley.
• Chu Xin checked on the resting Xiao Wu and learned that Luo Luo had not yet figured out how to analyze Dragon Valley’s magnetic field.
• Exhausted by the magnetic field, Chu Xin rode Xiao Wu out of Dragon Valley and returned to the Dragon Tamer Family’s outpost.
• Ai Xing helped the nearly collapsing Chu Xin rest and noticed that Xiao Wu had evolved into Dragonair.
• Chu Xin told Ai Xing that Aier had received the Mega Evolution Stone and had already beaten the ninth stage, leaving only the final stage.

After returning to Jindu Academy, Chu Xin reunited with Electrike and discovered Kaka training in the underground Battlefield. Kaka had developed a new, more sustainable burst aura that improved his physical condition, though it was weaker at full power than his second-stage burst aura.

• Aier returned safely from Dragon Valley, and Ai Xing left Dragon Tamer Island after completing his mission.
• Chu Xin stayed on Dragon Tamer Island for two months while Luo Luo analyzed the valley's magnetic field, then returned to Jindu Academy.
• Chu Xin reunited with Electrike at the Research Center and learned that Kaka was training with Vespiquen in the underground Battlefield.
• Chu Xin watched Kaka use a blue-glowing technique before Combee paralyzed him with a barrage of needles.
• Luo Luo examined Kaka and was astonished by his improved physical condition, and Chen Huan explained that Kaka's new burst aura drew on his latent potential and caused little bodily damage.

Chu Xin arranged a battle between Xiao Wu and Kaka to test their growth, and Xiao Wu won by using Dig to outlast Kaka’s powerful second-stage Burst Aura. The match left Kaka frustrated by Xiao Wu’s tactic, while Chu Xin watched Xiao Wu turn the battle around through clever strategy.

• Chu Xin encouraged Xiao Wu and Kaka to battle, promising Xiao Wu a day off for winning and making Kaka eager to face a strong opponent.
• Kaka and Xiao Wu cautiously tested each other before Kaka used blue Burst Aura to attack, but Xiao Wu countered with Hyper Beam, Extreme Speed, Dragon Tail, and Dragon Rage.
• Kaka activated second-stage Burst Aura, forcing Xiao Wu to avoid a direct confrontation.
• Xiao Wu used Dig to hide underground and launch repeated surprise attacks until Kaka’s Burst Aura ran out and Xiao Wu defeated him.
• Kaka complained that Xiao Wu could not battle that way.

After Xiao Wu defeated Kaka, Chu Xin took Xiao Wu to Chen Huan to investigate the dangerous Outrage state caused by a Dragonite scale. Chen Huan traced the scale to an ancient Dynamax Dragonite Fossil and said Chu Xin might need to find it someday, but Chu Xin then asked whether a stone from Zeraora could solve the problem.

• Xiao Wu beat Kaka with Dig and earned a day off while Kaka stayed behind to train.
• Chu Xin showed Chen Huan a recording of Xiao Wu battling Noivern and asked him to investigate Xiao Wu's strange Outrage.
• Chen Huan watched Xiao Wu use Outrage against Vespiquen and saw Xiao Wu lose awareness and use many unfamiliar moves before Vespiquen stopped him.
• Chen Huan examined the scale and found that it stored Dynamax Energy and part of the Dynamax Dragonite's will.
• Chen Huan revealed that the scale came from a fossilized Dynamax Dragonite found on the Western Plateau and said Chu Xin might need to reach the fossil once he was strong enough.
• Chu Xin showed Chen Huan a stone from Zeraora and asked whether it could help Xiao Wu regain control during Outrage.
