Plot
To Lisia's surprise, she is transported to the Pokémon Center by Hoopa. Lear, Sawyer, and Rachel chase after it, telling it to return Lisia back to where she was. Hoopa does not listen, impishly ignoring its orders. When Lisia tells them she was in the middle of a concert, Lear insists on escorting her back right away. To prevent any potential issues with her audience, Lear decides to livestream Lisia's return to her performance and make it seem as if her disappearance was part of the show. As the king of Pasio, Lear takes the responsibility on himself to ensure Lisia and her fans are satisfied.
After they return Lisia to her concert, Lear, Sawyer, and Rachel meet back at the Pokémon Center. Sawyer and Rachel compliment Lear on the success, and he is content that the experience allowed him to show off his ability to lead as Pasio's king.

(Pokémon Center; Hoopa appears and summons Lisia through a ring) | |
Lisia | Huh? What am I doing here? |
Lear | Hoopa! What do you think you're doing? Stop this nonsense immediately! |
(Lear, Rachel, and Sawyer appear) | |
Rachel | C'mon... Send her back to where she came from alreadyyy... |
(Hoopa cries out) | |
Sawyer | It's not listening! |
Lisia | Shucks... I was right in the middle of a concert, too... |
Lear | What?! |
Sawyer | Did you hear that, young master? The audience must be in a frenzy about this, even as we speak! |
Lear | Never fear! I'll personally escort you back to the arena immediately! |
Lisia | Really?! Thanks! |
Rachel | Buuut...if Lisia was having a concert, wouldn't it be, like, kinda weird to be spotted here? |
Lear | I'll distract any onlookers with a Pokémon battle! Sawyer! Ready some cameras! We're going to livestream her path back to the concert arena! We'll make it seem like it was all part of the show! |
Sawyer | Right away! |
Lisia | Wow, that sounds amazing! This is gonna be an awesome surprise! |
Lear | Hmph. Since you and your fans are all here on Pasio, that makes you my citizens! I am the king of Pasio! Follow my lead! |
Lisia | Yeah! This is gonna be sooo much fun! I'll call it... |
(Lisia strikes a pose) | |
Lisia | "Lisia's Dazzling Pasio Adventure!" |

Sawyer | We were able to get Lisia back to her concert! |
Rachel | That concert was a huuuge hit! You did awesome, Master Lear! |
Lear | Hmph. Of course I did! A king must be capable. Otherwise, why would anyone follow him? In order to make Pasio even better than it is now, I have to be stronger and smarter than everyone else! |
(Rachel and Sawyer cheer) | |
Lear | This incident was the perfect chance to show everyone my potential as king. You two also did a good job. But don't you dare get complacent! You'll stay by my side and fight along with me so I can become the strongest king in existence! |
(Hoopa cheers) | |
Sawyer | Of course, young master! I'll follow you to the ends of the world! |
Rachel | I totes got your back, too, Master Lear! |
Lear | I wouldn't settle for anything less! |
(Lear cackles; Hoopa, Rachel, and Sawyer cheer) |
