Episode Title:
Enter the Intense Mom!
Episode Description:
Dot's overbearing mother, Franka, visits the Brave Olivine to bring her daughter home, calling Dot's membership in the Rising Volt Tacklers a trial period. Dot reveals to Liko and Roy that she joined the Rising Volt Tacklers after a visit from Friede led her to leave her room and find inspiration for her Nidothing videos outside the internet, with her "trial" being an excuse to persuade Franka. When Dot and Franka argue, Franka realizes Dot has become a Pokémon trainer and challenges her to a battle, during which Quaxly learns a Low Kick attack and defeats Franka's Lycanroc. Dot asks for Franka's permission to stay with the Rising Volt Tacklers, expressing newfound appreciation for the world through her friends, to which an overjoyed Franka approves.
