Given the Teal Mask DLC for Scarlet and Violet, I can see the Rising Volt Tacklers going to Kitakami in the not so distant future. There could even be a brief conflict between Liko and the other Rising Volt Tacklers, particularly upon meeting Ogerpon since the group would hear the legends about how the Loyal Three protected the village from Ogerpon but Liko and Hattena or its evolutions would sense the sadness and righteous anger in Ogerpon and would sense that something was off about the legends and the Ogerpon isn't the monster that everyone in the village says it is. If nothing else, a conflict could form between the RVT and Kitakami when it comes to Ogerpon. Also, if the Loyal Three show up, that could also form an internal conflict with Roy given his wish to interact and catch Legendary Pokémon given the true nature of those Pokémon. Perhaps they could even be recruited by the Explorers, with Ogerpon going with the Rising Volt Tacklers, setting up a future battle between the two forces.
