Forgotten Memories
Melemele Island: Hau'oli City
In the city, Mallow and Tsareena were walking around in the city.
Then, a big tick appeared and landed on Mallow's head before disappearing into a cloud of sparkles.
"Huh? Wait, what was I doing just now?" Mallow asked. "Oh well, I'm going home."
Tsareena became confused by Mallow's sudden change in tone when a tick-like monster appeared.
"Surprise." the monster said.
"Monster!" Mallow said as she got ready to fight.
Then, Ash appeared with Pikachu and Greninja, followed by the Wild Kratts.
"Guys!" Mallow said.
"One more oughta fix her." the monster said as he sent another tick that did the same thing as the first one.
"Mallow!" Ash said. "What did you do to her!?"
"I, Psychotick have done something quite bad! Enjoy the result." Psychotick said as he disappeared.
Then, Ash and the Wild Kratts ran over to Mallow's side.
"Mallow, you alright?" Ash asked.
"I'm fine but… who are you?" Mallow asked before turning to the Wild Kratts. "And who are you people as well?"
"Huh?" Ash and the Wild Kratts all said.
Then, Mallow turned towards Tsareena.
"A Tsareena?!" Mallow said. "And I don't see Bounsweet. Are you my Bounsweet?"
"Okay, what is going on here?" Chris asked.
Melemele Island: Pokémon School
In the classroom, Ash informed Lana, Kiawe, Lillie, Sophocles, and Professor Kukui of Mallow's condition.
"Something's wrong with Mallow?" Lana asked.
"Yeah, she didn't know who we were!" Martin said.
"Maybe some sort of amnesia?" Aviva suggested.
"Mallow, do you know who we are?" Lillie asked Mallow.
"Of course! Lillie, Lana, Sophocles, Kiawe, and Professor Kukui!" Mallow replied, correctly identifying each of them.
Everyone thought about Mallow's words and came to a conclusion.
"Okay, we've got it narrowed down." Professor Kukui said.
"Her memory's been reset to before we met Ash." Sophocles said.
"Meaning by extension, the Wild Kratts as well." Kiawe said.
Mallow searched herself and found Tropius and Serperior's Poké Balls which were unfamiliar to her.
"Hey, what are these two Poké Balls for?" Mallow asked.
"They're for Tropius and Serperior." Kiawe replied.
"Wait, seriously?" Mallow said, and then, she sent out Tropius and Serperior.
"Whoa, I've got a Tropius and Serperior too! This is so unexpected!" Mallow said, and then she got a better look at her left wrist, along with Lana, Sophocles, and Lillie's. "No way! This is a Z-Ring! And Lana, Sophocles, Lillie! You guys have Z-Rings too!?"
Then, Mallow noticed Lillie being around Pokémon with no problems.
"Whoa, Lillie! Since when can you touch Pokémon?" Mallow asked.
"I've been touching Pokémon for a long time!" Lillie protested.
"What are we gonna do?" Sophocles asked.
"Will my pictures of our adventure help?" Rotom asked.
"Well, we gotta get her up to date. And I have an idea." Kiawe said, and the heroes moved outside.
On the field, Kiawe and Turtonator were with Mallow and Tsareena.
"Now, follow my lead." Kiawe said as he held his Burst Heart.
"Burst!" Kiawe used Burst to combine with Turtonator.
"Whoa, how'd you do that?! You combined with Turtonator! So cool!" Mallow said in awe of Kiawe's transformation.
"Now try it with Tsareena, do what I did." Kiawe said.
"Sure!" Mallow said. "Tsareena, let's do it!"
"Burst!" Mallow used Burst to combine with Tsareena.
"Whoa, I did it! I combined with Tsareena!" Mallow said.
"She did it!" Lillie said.
"Now we should be able to manage something when we have to battle." Chris said.
"Mallow, there are gaps in your memory because of your encounter with that monster from before. However, your heart still knows. So, what do you say? Are you willing to go find that monster and get your memories back?" Professor Kukui asked.
"Yeah, of course!" Mallow said. "I can't forgive that evil monster for making me forget all the good times that I probably had since meeting Ash and the Wild Kratts!"
"Okay then, let's go!" Kiawe said and he put his hand in the middle, then Mallow joined in, followed by the rest of their friends.
Melemele Island: Hau'oli City
In the city, the Tortuga flew around in the sky to look for Psychotick.
And then, Psychotick was spotted wandering around an old factory.
"There he is!" Mallow said.
"Jimmy, take us down!" Martin said.
The Tortuga flew down lower and the heroes got out to confront Psychotick.
"Ah! You again? What did you come here for?!" Psychotick said.
"My memories! Give them back!" Mallow said.
"Not happening!" Psychotick said. "Tick Attack!"
The heroes all leaped to avoid the attack.
"Burst!" Ash, Lana, Lillie, and Sophocles used Burst to combine with Incineroar, Primarina, Snowy, and Heliolisk.
"Activate Creature Powers!" Chris and Martin activated Cheetah and Musk Ox Powers.
"Tick Swarm!" Psychotick fired several ticks at the heroes.
"Darkest Lariat!" Ash lit his hands on fire and spun rapidly in place to knock the ticks away.
"Dazzling Gleam!" Lillie fired multiple beams of rainbow-colored rays to shoot down the rest of the ticks.
"Focus Blast!" Kiawe and Sophocles each charged up a yellow ball of energy and launched them at Psychotick.
"Sparkling Aria!" Lana sang a song to form a ball of water and made it burst, shooting out multiple bubbles at Psychotick.
Chris dashed to run in a circle around Psychotick to disorient him and Martin charged for a headbutt.
"Leaf Storm!" Mallow shot out a massive storm of leaves at Psychotick.
"Mallow, you do the honors!" Ash said. "Finish this with a Z-Move!"
"Uh, yeah! I'll try!" Mallow said.
Mallow began the Z-Move pose and when she was done, Z-Power enveloped her.
"Bloom Doom!" Mallow's body glowed and created a field of flowers around herself.
Then, from under Psychotick, bright green energy flashed before it burst into the shape of a giant flower.
Psychotick fell on his back and exploded.
Then, sparkles appeared around Mallow and went into her head.
"It worked, you guys! I remember everything!" Mallow said.
"That's good!" Lillie said.
"Thank goodness." Lana said.
"Come on out, you two!" Mallow said as she sent out Tropius and Serperior. "Come here!"
Tropius and Serperior rushed over to Mallow's side and they all embraced together while Mallow's friends all watched looking happy for her.
