After getting his Pokemon healed, Izuku heads out of Castelia City on the route to Nimbasa City to challenge the gym. As Izuku walks down the path with Joltik sitting on his head he just hums happily, proud of how strong his Pokémon are. He does battle a few trainers with Riolu giving Riolu a chance to improve his skills and master the new moves he's been learning. After stopping for a late lunch, Izuku keeps traveling only to makes camp for the night after walking down the path for an hour while there is still some light.
"All aboard everyone," he calls releasing all his Pokémon from their Pokéballs. They cheer happily being out of their Pokéballs with Joltik jumping down to join the rest of the team. "All right everyone since we had a tough battle today, we are going to take the rest of the evening off while we are in between stations for fun," Izuku says while smiling at his team and then tossing a ball towards them. They all cheer before starting playing together with the ball.
They relax for the rest of the evening before eating and going to sleep. The next morning Izuku packs away the camping supplies while his Pokémon play with the ball more. "RIOLU RI!" Izuku hears, turning to see the ball go over a side of the cliff edge and down into the forest below with Riolu jumping after it. "No Riolu!!!" Izuku screams in worry as Riolu disappears from his sight.
Izuku looks on, "We need to find Riolu everyone," Izuku says while his Pokémon nod in agreement looking down at the forest. They all carefully start heading down after finding a very narrow path down. After a few minutes they make it to bottom and in the forest to look around to see any clues only to hear "RIOLU RI," Riolu screech could be heard and they all start running through the woods towards the sound, managing to dodge out of the way of a sleeping Scolipede and through some thick foliage to reach a clearing. Izuku sees Riolu backed against the tree with by three Swoobat ready to attack; "Full speed ahead Joltik Electro Ball, Litwick Firespin, and Jangmo-o use Dragonclaw!" He yells while pointing forward.
They all launch their attacks hitting the Swoobat knocking them away only to be hit with an echoed voice causing Izuku and his Pokémon to cover their ears in pain. With Riolu crying out in fear, "Ri Riolu Lu;" Joltik and Litwick glare at the Swoobat before they launch more attacks only for the Swoobat to fly out of the way and launch Air Cutter, hitting all of Izuku's Pokémon and doing serious damage to Riolu; who can't even stand up. Joltik and Litwick glare at the Swoobat before they start glowing and start changing size; everyone stops, looking on, even the Swoobat looking in awe as they evolve. As the glow dies down Izuku looks in awe at his starters before pulling out his Pokédex and scanning them.

"Way to go you two now let's stay on track and finish this Lampent Shadow Ball multiple shots, Galvantula Discharge, and Jangmo-o get to Riolu and use Protect," Izuku calls, his Pokémon follow his instructions and the Swoobat screech in pain as the attacks hit head on by the super effective attacks knocking them out cold. Izuku looks at the Swoobat and seeing that they won't be getting up anytime soon, walks over to Riolu, kneels down and asks, "Are you alright?"
"Ri Lu Riolu ," Riolu responds, nodding his head happily while standing up slowly. "Well let's get ourselves out of here and back on the tracks to Nimbasa before they wake up," Izuku says with them all making sounds of agreement before they walk from the clearing. Dodging out of the way of some other wild Pokemon not wanting to fight they manage to reach the edge of the forest and the path again.
