Electrode Burst Trouble
Melemele Island: Pokémon School
Out on the field, the girls were in their Electrode Burst forms as they rolled across the track.
"Look at them go," Ash said.
"They're fast," Kiawe said.
Meanwhile, from another location, Shock Rock watched the scene.
"Nothing I can take advantage of…" Shock Rock said, but then she had another thought. "But could make for a few laughs."
Shock Rock then took a small totem and charged it with energy, changing it into a rock minion.
"Go! Do my bidding!" Shock Rock commanded, and the rock minion moved out.
Back with the heroes, the girls continued to roll as the rock minion appeared behind some bushes out of the heroes' sight.
Then, it revealed three yellow orbs and released them at the girls, hitting them without anyone noticing.
Then, the girls came to a stop as they were done.
"Nice rolling," Sophocles said.
"Thanks," Lillie said.
"It's a great way to train on moving around," Lana said.
"That was a great Rollout run. Now let's head back." Professor Kukui said.
"Okay!" the kids all said.
"Release!" the girls attempted to undo their transformation, but it failed.
"Huh? That's weird." Mallow said.
"Release!" the girls shouted again, but it once again failed. "Release! Release!"
"We can't change back to normal!" Lillie said.
"What do we do?" Lana asked.
"Uh, I'm sure we can figure something out. But for now, let's head back to the classroom." Aviva said.
Back in the classroom, the girls tried to get through the doorway, but it was too narrow for them.
"We can't fit," Lana said.
"Here, use this," Chris said as he set up the Miniaturizer.
The girls got on the Miniaturizer and miniaturized themselves to Voltorb size, allowing them to fit through.
"Even though we're in here, we practically can't do anything!" Mallow said.
"We don't have arms or legs!" Lana said.
"What happened to us?" Lillie asked.
"Well, school's over, so for now, why don't we head back home?" Professor Kukui said.
The girls heard this and seemed nervous about going home in their current state.
"I really don't want my sisters seeing me like this," Lana said. "They might treat me like a toy."
"I don't mind going home, but I won't be able to help out in the restaurant like this," Mallow said.
"I don't want to make everyone at home do extra work taking care of me," Lillie said.
"Then, here. You can stay at my house." Professor Kukui said. "I'll let Burnet know."
"Are you sure? We don't want to trouble you." Lillie said.
"Nonsense. It's no trouble." Professor Kukui said.
Melemele Island: Route 1
Later, Ash set off for Professor Kukui's house with the girls rolling behind him.
"Sorry that you have to carry our bags, Ash," Lana said.
"Eh, it's fine. They're not that heavy anyway." Ash said.
Then, the Tortuga descended near Ash and the girls.
"Hey, you guys. I think we might've found a way to fix everything." Aviva said.
In the Tortuga, there were also Kiawe and Sophocles, and the girls each got into a capsule to be scanned.
"See, I called Goun about this and he said to try this," Kiawe said.
"Of course, I should've thought about asking Goun for help!" Lillie said.
"So what is this exactly?" Mallow asked.
"Goun said that it was likely a monster's doing, so we built these capsules to scan for residual energy that's preventing you from deactivating Burst," Sophocles said.
"Then we can change back to normal?" Lana asked.
"Not exactly. This is to track down the monster to defeat it, so you can deactivate." Aviva clarified.
Then, the scan was completed and soon, the rock minion's location was discovered.
"That way! Let's go, Jimmy!" Martin said, and Jimmy steered the Tortuga towards the rock minion's location.
Meanwhile, the rock minion was standing still, but when the heroes approached it, it became active.
"Look like it's ready for a fight," Ash said.
"Bring it on! We have to get payback on this guy for what he did to us!" Lana said as she, Lillie, and Mallow got ready to face the rock minion.
"Okay! Let 'em have it!" Ash said as he and the other stepped back to let the girls handle things.
"First, you'll need to be real-size!" Koki said as she set up the Miniaturizer so they could enlarge back to Electrode-size.
The rock minion took aim at the girls to fire crystal shards, but Mallow used Double Team to create multiple illusionary copies of herself to confuse the rock minion.
"Gyro Ball!" Mallow spun rapidly into the rock minion.
"Rollout!" Lillie rolled into the rock minion with great speed and power.
"Signal Beam!" Lana fired a sinister pink beam at the rock minion.
The rock minion attacked with energy bolts, but Lana used Magic Coat to shroud herself, Mallow, and Lillie in a barrier of pink light to shield from the attack.
"Wild Charge!" Lana shrouded herself in electricity and rolled into the rock minion.
"Charge Beam!" Mallow fired a yellow beam of electricity at the rock minion.
"Shock Wave!" Lillie fired a blue beam of electricity at the rock minion.
The rock minion hammered the ground to send out shockwaves, but Lillie used Magnet Rise to lift herself and her friends into the air to avoid the shockwaves.
"Swift!" Lillie spun rapidly, sending multiple yellow stars flying at the rock minion.
"Hyper Beam!" Lana fired a devastating orange beam at the rock minion.
"Explosion!" Mallow got in close and built up energy before unleashing an explosion.
The rock minion was severely damaged by the attacks.
"Now let's end this!" Mallow said.
"Here, I'll do the Z-Move pose for you!" Ash said as he held up his left hand.
Then, the girls felt the energy of their Z-Rings from within them.
"Actually, I feel like we can still use Z-Moves in this form," Lillie said. "Ash, place your Electrium Z on my body!"
"Okay, here. Though I don't get how it'll work." Ash said as he took his Electrium Z and placed it on Lillie.
Then, the Electrium Z began glowing.
"Whoa, I guess it'll work then!" Ash said.
Then, Lana and Mallow were given Sophocles's Buginium Z and Ash's Steelium Z respectively.
Then, the girls moved around in correspondence to how one would do their Z-Move poses.
And when they were done, Z-Power enveloped them.
"Gigavolt Havoc! Savage Spin-Out! Corkscrew Crash!" the girls unleashed their Z-Moves.
Lillie first fired a strong electrical current at the rock minion.
Then, Lana wrapped up the rock minion in a cocoon of white silk and swung it around, slamming into the ground multiple times.
Finally, Mallow leaped into the air and spun like a corkscrew before striking through the cocoon, tearing it apart and hitting the rock minion.
The rock minion fell to the ground and exploded.
Then, the girls were enveloped by the yellow energy like the ones from before and when the energy faded, they were returned to normal form.
"We're back to normal!" Lana said.
"Thank goodness," Mallow said.
"I'm relieved," Lillie said.
Meanwhile, Shock Rock saw her rock minion's defeat.
"Well, I guess it's time I took things more seriously," Shock Rock said.
