Plot

In the Captain's Deck, Liko and Roy are shocked to hear from others that the Brave Asagi is need of an inspection before they head off to the Galar Region. Orla reveals that the ship used to be Ludlow's fishing boat until she built it into a ship under Friede's orders. Dot, heard over the phone, offers a system reboot to fix the ship in half the day. While they wait, Friede proposes a picnic to relax since they didn't get any rest since departing Kanto. Ludlow, suddenly appearing at the door to the deck, says that he'll look after the ship while the others enjoy their picnic.

As Liko and Roy enjoy the view of the ocean outside, as well as a good angle of Levincia, they get called over to the picnic table, where tons of ingredients are laid out. Roy is about to have some, but Orla says that the ingredients are for something else. Mollie presents the bread, which means they are making sandwiches, and each person gets to choose the toppings that best suit them. Liko makes her sandwich, and by the time she's done, she has a mostly plain sandwich. Orla implores Liko to keep adding more, pointing out Roy's giant stacked sandwich, which falls apart from too much toppings. Roy wanted to make an exact replica of the huge sandwich he saw in the picture book. Liko notices that Friede's sandwich is mostly meat, deducing that the sandwiches made here can reflect everyone's personality.

As everyone enjoys the sandwiches they made, Liko reminisces on how far she has come, how much she's grown and changed since meeting Sprigatito. Looking at the black Rayquaza's Poke Ball in Roy's hand, Liko also reminisces about how Lucius' Rayquaza emerged from the Poke Ball and saved them from the Explorers, as well as how Roy and Fuecoco became partners afterwards.
