Liko, Roy and Dot have arrived at Glasaedo Mountain, on their way to Glasaedo gym for Liko's battle against Grusha, but the gym staff informs them that Grusha is not around at the moment. Seeking to find him elsewhere the group heads of to a nearby Ski resort, due to the endless walking Dot becomes exhausted and collapses, thinking to herself that she is dead Dot and her friends suddenly see a group of tourists riding Cettodle in a bob sledding event. The trio and their pokemon decide to ride the Cetodde down the mountain to pass time before Liko's gym battle. All three have fun bob sledding on their respective Cetoddle untill Liko's Cetoddle starts going downhill too fast, Liko's Floragato then uses her vine to grab a nearby tree branch to slow them down, preventing them from falling off what appears to be a cliff, Dot and Roy soon arrived and checked on Liko informing her that she would have been fine since the "Cliff" was actually just a small ditch, to Liko's shock. Suddenly Grusha appears nearby with his Cetoddle to the group's surprise and tells Liko that if she has time to play before their battle then she must be confident in winning, before promptly walking off.

Liko and her friends then rested off at a nearby lodge, where they learn from the owner that Grusha used to be a talented Pro Snowboarder that won many tournaments, however one day he got his leg injured avoiding a Cetoddle that caused him to retire from his snowboarding career and focus on being a gym leader instead. The owner further notes that Grusha should still be able to snowboard competitively after recovering but the reason he retired is probably because he couldn't achieve the same tournament results as before due to his perfectionist personality.

Liko and her friends soon return to the gym for her Implementation test battle, surprisingly Grusha's Cetoddle playfully confronts Liko on the battlefield, before Grusha himself appears for the battle.

The battle soon begins with Liko's Floragato against Grusha's Cetitan. Floragato moves nimbly around Cetitan before striking first with quick attack but it has little effect on her bulky opponent, Cetitan then uses Icicle spear with Floragato dodging its attack, Cetitan then unleashed a fast Ice Spinner which is super effective and hits Floragato, surprising everyone with its speed. Liko then recalls Floragato and sends out Hattrem, Cetitan unleashes Icicle spear once again but Liko commands Hattrem to use confusion, sending the ice spears back at Cetitan to damage it. Cetitan recovers and uses Liquidation while Hattrem clashes against it with her Brutal Swing, but Grusha has Cetitan suddenly use Ice Spinner which overpowers and defeats Hattrem.

After Hattrem's defeat Liko recalls her for Floragato. Floragato once again struggles against Cetitan's defenses and barely dodges an Ice Spinner but then Liko has a plan, she has Floragato fire Magical Leaf into Cetitan's more vulnerable mouth the moment it tries to unleash Icicle Spear, choking and temporarily incapacitating it. Grusha is slightly impressed by this feat and recalls Cetitan in favor of Altaria.
