Dieter ends up sharing his body with Zeb, though it is ambiguous as to whether he is Zeb or just his memories. Sarah and Zeb confront Scilio. The party finds out the king was successfully poisoned. The group works out a plan to rescue Andy, who had been kidnapped earlier. Eliot pretends to be Finley if she had still been male while Finley pretends to be Niles' mother. The party also goes seeking the killer, Priscilla. Dieter acts as bait because Scilio was unwilling to lend Jillian. A Greninja, Kobayashi, joins them on the chase. They eventually find her house, which she has set up as Home field advantage. They beat her, though sustain some injuries. Grigs manages to land a good blow, but she lectures him about giving into the Frenzy. The party then goes to the hospital to get their wounds dressed while someone else goes to tell the remaining library group that they were alright. At the library, meanwhile, Lilquil was climbing a bookcase and had to be rescued while James was looking into his power core.
The party, reunited, goes and delivers her corpse to Henry for the reward. He thinks it is a gift, looks inside, and throws up. Also Finley and Niles bond in their new roles as mother and child. They then make their way to Mullion's.
Meanwhile, Sarah and the newly dubbed Finlord head to Mullions, enjoy some waffles, have a discussion, then seek out Fragile Faces in hopes of luring Andy's kidnappers out.

Marlon offers to help Dieter learn how to use telepathy as the party dies down and the group starts heading for the Fragile Faces. Noriaki trails them as well. Eventually this leads to a few groups of conversation, Mila expresses to Finley how some of the situation is making her feel unsafe, Finley trying to extract information from James about Sarah and Marlon teaching Dieter about Telepathy while Nori asks what they're worked up about. Dieter eventually decides to try and come clean and asks Nori and Marlon what they think about Pokemon that eat other Pokemon. They react to this negatively, which Dieter reacts explosively to, revealing that they ate Pokemon. This ends up resulting in a confrontation, which Finley manages to intervene in and eventually it is clarified that Dieter only ate Pokemon corpses, didn't kill any Pokemon for them. Some of the group is still unsure what to think about this, but Finley explains that this is just normal for some people. Grigori appears as well, intending to stop Dieter during the confrontation, but the Frenzy comes through and they express a desire to skin the Girafarig alive. Nori discusses this slip with Grigori after the fact and discuss that this could possibly be due to Viral Aggression. Meanwhile, inside the bar, the owner, Dee Vasquez, has a talk with Olias, welcoming that he brought new people, but making some unfortunate comments about Olias' mother as well.

streets, attempting to capture Ed because of multiple incidents making them believe he was plotting to kill the king. The guards arrest a poison dealer with some physical violence and take her in for questioning with a Slaking Guard who Denny saw put stuff in the king's drink. Scilio ends up intervening, because he says Ed is innocent. However, he says this is because Ed's two friends were killed by Jillian because they were experiencing VA symptoms. Thus, the Blue Cross frees Ed before he can be quickly executed. Dieter does not react well to Scilio's reasoning and ends up collapsing and running away. Sarah and Milo end up following them and they camp out in the forest. Eliot confronts Scilio about this back at the tower and Scilio reveals he killed the two because they were pushing Ed into the situation and was worried that'd get him killed. Eliot was decidedly unfond to this and headed off to Sketch Leaf Blade after giving Scilio a piece of his mind. Meanwhile, Grigs and Tilly don't arrive at any conclusive ends and head back to try and ask Scilio for more help and to use Jillian as bait.

Around this time, Bas appears with a Mienfoo on his back, revealing how he had troubles trying to find the group. Wohm then arrives shot down from the sky and caught by said Mienfoo. They discuss with Marlon how he and Wohm are to help the Mienfoo, Sho, integrate better with society due to the earlier kerfluffle with Wohm's organization. At this point, Mila is revealed to have had a panic attack because of the brawl initiated by Niles and is rushed, along with Sarah, to the hospital. Meanwhile, at the hospital, there has been an Orb mixup, leading to Niles devolving and going back to how he was when he was 8. The new Lilquil remeets the group and Finley takes it upon herself to care for the 8-year old. Grigori and Tilly, in the meantime, have set out on a search for the Basculin.

Marlon and Marsha come over to apologize, but Dieter says its alright and explains that they were cursed into looking like a Girafarig who took them in when they first came there because they ate his corpse. This also leads with some talking with Nori about his own concerns and how he was blamed for something he didn't do in his past. Sarah, compared to the others drinking, gets some weed from the bartender and begins smoking. Mila is on the verge of a panic attack after the confrontation and the others try to calm her down. Grigori enters the bar for a bit, getting hit on by Dieter and discussing their plans with Tilly and having her come along as a way to detect moisture from the killer's Whirlpools.
After a bit, Horowitz arrives with his captains. Thalia proceeds to discuss politics and strategy with Fatima, while Dieter decides to hit on Horowitz, though the latter doesn't realize until he's being hit on near the end. He expresses wishes for his dad to get better, though also gives Dieter a 'maybe', not wanting to advertise his sexuality during the selection process. Nyquil decides to join the others around this time, but something that happens with Marsha causes him to panic and attack her, seeing her as the killer. This brawl leads to the owner nearly throwing the group out and Niles going into critical condition, causing Finley to rush him to the hospital.

Marlon offers to help Dieter learn how to use telepathy as the party dies down and the group starts heading for the Fragile Faces. Noriaki trails them as well. Eventually this leads to a few groups of conversation, Finley trying to extract information from James about Sarah and Marlon teaching Dieter about Telepathy while Nori asks what they're worked up about. Dieter eventually decides to try and come clean and asks Nori and Marlon what they think about Pokemon that eat other Pokemon. They react to this negatively, which Dieter reacts explosively to, revealing that they ate Pokemon. This ends up resulting in a confrontation, which Finley manages to intervene in and eventually it is clarified that Dieter only ate Pokemon corpses, didn't kill any Pokemon for them. Some of the group is still unsure what to think about this, but Finley explains that this is just normal for some peoplemons. Grigori appears as well, intending to stop Dieter during the confrontation, but the Frenzy comes through and they express a desire to skin the Girafarig alive. Nori discusses this slip with Grigori after the fact and discuss that this could possibly be due to Viral Aggression. Meanwhile, inside the bar, the owner, Dee Vasquez, has a talk with Olias, welcoming that he brought new people, but making some unfortunate comments about Olias' mother as well.

The party convenes at a party where the heirs are gathered, meeting a few more members, such as Olias, a laid back Emolga musician who smokes Persim leaves, and a cook at Mullion's, who is pulled along somewhat unwillingly by a Bunnelby. At this party, Fatima, Horowitz's second-in-command and advisor, decides to seek out Thalia to talk about an alliance, which Thalia willingly agrees to. While this occurs, Eliot tries to get further to the bottom of what happened with the VA, but he hits a wall and the king gets fed up with his questions. Also of note, Scilio meets with Henry, who expresses an interest in joining the Blue Cross. Dieter is a bit suspicious, but after hearing Scilio's

The main party are greeted by swaths of homeless, which supposedly constitute 50% of the city's population, which Michael coldly dismisses. As the party expresses their disgust at the situation, Sarah ends up rolling James back into town, and starts giving him more and more details about her true self.
Around this point, a Sandile appears who doesn't remember who she is, but does remember she used to be human. The party makes their way to visit the king, Raleigh Roughskin, who is tied up. He proclaims that he is a war hero and that he eradicated almost all of a Raticate house that currently is featured in a stained glass painting, the only two suriving members being Denny, who waits on him, and Marion, the wife of Scilio. While they have this meeting, Dieter pulls Tilly and Lilly's cart up the stairs and they talk about where Dieter was before joining the others and a potentially intact Pokemon Center PC that their mom had recently unearthed. During the meeting, a familiar Vibrava, Henry appears, claiming that he should be in the running. The king rebukes him and the party eventually convince him to give something else a try. The king then suggests the group visit one of two restaurants and they end up going to Mullion's on the Wharf. Some of the group are surprised by the Garbodor owner, but they have a pretty decent meal.
During this meal, Niles heads out to get some fresh air, but is targetted by the Basculin serial killer. He is saved by Finley and is merely dealt a shoulder injury, though, he is taken to the hospital nonetheless. Around this time, Dieter and Milo run into a Tyranitar wearing paper bags over his hands named Rich who claims he has been cursed. Dieter helps him find a metalworker's shop where the metalworker proceeds to make metal gloves for him. Rich then demonstrates his curse on the metalworker's doubtful assistant, who changes into a copy of him for 10 minutes. Once he changes back, the gloves are ready to go and Rich puts them on.
Rich begins to lead Dieter to Mullion's when Dieter expresses interest in experiencing Rich's curse themselves.

Arriving at a port a little away from Slak Rock proper, the party disembarks only to come across Marie, the third bastard child of the King they've met and another legitimate contender for the throne. Coming off as far more sweet and genuine than Horowitz or Ed, she manages to be on friendly terms with a number of the party. Meanwhile, Sarah and Finley have a tense conversation where Finley outright lays out her suspicion that Sarah is Jani. The party then comes across Jillian, who is brutally murdering a Smeargle who allegedly has VA. She claims rights as an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, but James ends up accidentally attacking her and is beaten to unconsciousness.

Rumors abound in the streets of Gleamscape as the town is reeling from the murder outside the café -- the right-paw killer has returned. The humanmons and their companions end up splitting up into multiple groups:
* Jani (who now goes as Sarah) heads to the local library before anyone else gets out, to research on her new cover story -- a world native from Lunalis. She meets Aspen there and gets a bit fangirly in the process -- Aspen's there to read up on some fiction and check out a few books. "Sarah" struggles to hide her true intent, but manages to BS her story while low key reading up more on Lunalis. After awhile, they head to the pizza place.
* Finley and a small contingent of Noriaki, Grigori, Tilly, and Lilly head to the murder cafe and learn from her that she's actually Princess Autumn Farbridge of Foxfell. This hits Noriaki to some degree, given his own past with a noblewoman named L'Arachel. Finley and Lilly split off and return to Lucille's mansion while this group then heads to the library, around the time Sarah and Aspen leaves. Noriaki researches nearby islands while Tilly researches regional quirks of her species. Eventually, this group heads to the crime scene to investigate -- with Grigori in particular taking interest in taking down the right-paw killer. Dana ends up joining them around this point. After gathering clues, they head to the pizza place, being the last group to do so.
* Back at the mansion, a number of things are going on: PJ and Eliot are starting to have feelings for each other to varying degrees. Eliot and Lucy build their sort of brother-sister type bonds. Finley returns and informs everyone else (except Niles) that she's a princess. '''[DETAILS MISSING]''' Lilly and Lucy work more on their song for the performance. They all head to Arie's to greet Belle and her family, Arie having been replaced by a Ditto named Winifred, and eventually they all end up going to the pizza place, heralded by Lilly wanting to work on their singing with Lucy and Belle's kids, but not wanting to take them to the murder cafe.
* Upset by Finley posing as his friend from the human world, Niles heads out alone...wandering the streets for some time and eventually letting off steam at the dojo, where he learns some moves from the Pangoro master Mitsu Kata. He gets to the pizza place even later than the crime scene group.
At the pizza place, Sarah and Aspen encounter Dyson, the Aggron who was injured last night when the murder was happening. They try to cheer him up, and then some of the others start trickling in. This gives Sarah a chance to get in with the group while practicing her persona, though not without rousing various forms of suspicion with those present, with Finley and Eliot being the most difficult. People start picking up on PJ having the hots for Eliot. Mauveine (Belle's daughter) is sick and spends most of her time praying to the porcelain gods. Belle herself is lured out of the pizza place by Winnie and ends up captured and replaced. Finley then starts talking to Belle about mom stuff and is just as much lured out and captured.
Winnie as Belle makes an awkward performance in the pizza place and ends up drawing Mila's suspicion. In captivity, Arie and Finley work to free themselves. Mila eventually follows and confronts Winnie outside, and the noise of the encounter prompts the party to head out and help her. A battle ensues, with Milo, Sarah, and a number of other mons attacking Winnie who has since turned into an Archaeops-Primarina hybrid, flying high above. Benji turns into a flying mon himself, they come to blows, and Winnie then claims Benji ruined her life. Confused and unable to remember any of it, Benji eventually ends up leaving town -- feeling he needs a break from all the madness as well. Goobert and most of the Goop Troop follow, except for Lucy, Marsha, and Marlon.
Mila falls ill and eventually Finley has to take her home. Aspen and Dyson both leave mysteriously shortly after. The contest is canceled, with Lilly and Lucy winning by default. A new arrival, James the Golett, appears and is aided to the pizza place by Mitsu Kata. Feeling the need to train, most of the party heads to the dojo with James and Mitsu. Sarah buys a wilderness first aid kit. Those at the dojo are chewed out by Finley for not attending to their sick friend. After Finley returns to the mansion, she and Niles eventually have a strained reconciliation. Ultimately, everyone reconvenes at the mansion for dinner.

Light has returned to the party, still as a Piplup, and greets PJ at the mansion. Lilly and Lucy check out the remnants of the festival, but flee to the mansion when Marsha's parents come along to pick her up. At the mansion, Sarah and James give a hand with cooking, the former making a spicy soup, the latter making a mushroom soup. At dinnertime, it's revealed that the mushroom soup accidentally has hallucinogenic mushrooms and both Sarah (who taste tested it) and Richard briefly start tripping. Niles overdoses on the spicy soup and learns flamethrower -- but passes out from keeping it going too long. Most importantly, though, is that the group (at Andy's behest) decide to attend an unusually cheap play, a Bland Name version of ''Theater/MacBeth'' called ''[=MacEd=]''.
At the play, it turns out to be the POLE operators running a sort of scam play. After the Caterpie (Edd) tries to play a shell game with their money, he runs to the Hitmon but is intercepted by Sarah, dropping his money which Sarah holds until they see a play. Eliot and others also try to come to blows, only to be interrupted by Finley. Eventually the Wailord (Ed) is pushed onstage, and the Hitmon threatens Sarah, who tosses the money to Marlon -- holding it until they actually get a performance. This chaos is ultimately interrupted by Prince Michael, Slakoth brother to the king of Slak Rock, who says that the Wailord is actually a bastard prince.
It turns out the true reason Andy lured the group to the play was to hook up the "Hoard humanmons" with Michael, who informs them that his brother has VA and needs to be cured. He offers the party each 10k Poké base with a bonus for efficiency. The party accepts, and they head back to the mansion to prepare to depart -- the boat left that evening. Mila and Niles also have a heart to heart before rejoining the rest of the party in boarding the boat.
Mixy the courier ended up becoming a stowaway after delivering a package from Hevea to Finley. This immediately rouses suspicion in Finley that Sarah is Jani. Mixy was apprehended by a guard who intended to try her, but ultimately they managed to get her off the ship, with a friendly Pelipper guiding Mixy back to Gleamscape. That bit of tension made the party very wary of what they were getting into, and they all started heading to bed, with a few staying on deck to chat for awhile. F and Mandy turn out to have been on the ship all along, having finally reunited with the humanmons.
A loud noise followed by waves rocking the boat woke up the sleeping humanmons as the privateer "Admiral" Harry "The Glorious Bear" Horowitz shot at the Wailord prince. After having his cannons temporarily disabled, he was moved in closer to parlay -- claiming (a baldfaced lie) that the prince was a feral that could have attacked the ship and that he was trying to help. It was revealed that Horowitz himself is another bastard prince, and also a valid contender for the throne. He declared his intention to be named the rightful heir and fled to his hideout at Hollow Cove, on the outskirts of Slak Kingdom. The party then slept, and then morning came...

Arriving at a port a little away from Slak Rock proper, the party disembarks only to come across Marie, the third bastard child of the King they've met and another legitimate contender for the throne. Coming off as far more sweet and genuine than Horowitz or Ed, she manages to be on friendly terms with a number of the party. Meanwhile, Sarah and Finley have a tense conversation where Finley outright lays out her suspicion that Sarah is Jani. The party then comes across Jillian, who is brutally murdering a Smeargle who allegedly has VA. She claims rights as an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, but James ends up accidentally attacking her and is beaten to unconsciousness.
Tilly buries the Smeargle and the party enters Slak Rock, sans Sarah who uses her first aid knowledge along with Dieter's practical knowledge to eventually revive James. The main party are greeted by swaths of homeless, which supposedly constitute 50% of the city's population, which Michael coldly dismisses. As the party expresses their disgust at the situation, Sarah ends up rolling James back into town, and starts giving him more and more details about her true self.

Morning arrives, and the party prepares to leave for Gleamscape. Due to concerns over the orphaned Lucy travelling with the party (and thus with Andy, her parents' killer), Benji, Dinah, and Lucy leave ahead of the party. Before the party actually leaves, however, they get accosted by Lars again, who is looking for PJ as he thinks PJ played a part in his father's death and wants to settle the score. However, Jani convinces Lars to bury the hatchet and travel with them to Gleamscape, which the party does so via a local carriage service run by a group of Sigilyphs. The party meets another humanmon, a Litleo named Dieter, as they prepare to leave. The party catches up with Benji, Dinah, and Lucy at a souvenir shop run by a Primarina named Arie, who, as it turns out, is the sister of Belle, who arrives at Gleamscape with her family and Manaphy to help judge a singing contest at the music festival.
At the suggestion of Lucy, Manaphy uses Heart Swap on some of the party. Goobert, Marlon, and Benji all switch with Delilah, Marsha and Benji, Jani switches with PJ, and Eliot switches with Lucy. Goobert, Marlon, Marsha, and Delilah all switch back after a few minutes, but the others stay switched for a while. Jani revels in being able to move around outside of the ground for the time being and Lucy has some fun with Eliot's ability to shapeshift and bonds with the Smeargle while at it. While this goes on, Finley finally can't take it any longer and confesses to certain members of the party her big secret...that she has ''always'' been a Pokémon and only has some of the memories of a human, simply sticking with the party and pretending to be a former human because she wanted to fit in somewhere. At the same time, PJ reveals to Finley and Jani of his recent discovery that he had actually landed in a female Ribombee (now Helioptile) body from the start of their journey, much to his chagrin. Jani also reveals to the two her plans to use a Transfer Orb on herself in order to get the Terranports out of her hair. During all of this, the party also briefly meets a rock band called Carbon Footprint, here in Gleamscape to perform for the festival, consisting of a Sableye named Wentworth, a Lilligant named Aspen, a Sawk named Topher, and a Hydreigon named Colton. Sushi turns out to be quite a fan of this band.
Once all of the swapped party members are back in their normal bodies, they regroup at the local hotel and see to signing up for the singing contest and just hanging out. Niles leaves the party for some alone time, though Dana cheers him up by presenting to him a custom made hat that she bought for him when he comes back. Marlon meets Marsha and Benji's parents at the hotel, who give Marlon and Marsha their blessing even with Marlon being a former human. Jani goes drinking with Andy and Noriaki and briefly interact with an egotistical Vibrava who is convinced that he is of royal blood. Nori also discovers some mercs for hire at the hotel and hires them to travel with the party, starting with an Alolan Raticate named Chang and an East Sea Gastrodon named Wendy. Lucy has discovered a desire to learn how to sing while hanging out with Eliot and wants to sign up for the contest, prompting Eliot to sign himself and Lucy up for it. However, Eliot makes the unfortunate decision to sign up again in his Salazzle form, gets caught, and is disqualified from the contest. After Eliot breaks the news to Lucy, it's decided that Lucy will perform with Jani's "sister" Lilly instead, and she, Lilly, and Eliot go off to buy some supplies for costumes that Lucy and Lilly will wear during their performance. Marlon, Goobert, Andy, and Jani attempt to talk to Carbon Footprint after suspecting that one of their band members is a humanmon. The attempt backfires, but not before Wentworth acts very suspiciously...
Other party members who sign up for the singing contest include Mila, Niles, Goobert and Delilah, Dieter, Jani and Dinah, and Andy. Some other [=NPCs=] that the party has met before also sign up, including Sushi's pirate peers Dread Pirate Lisa and her crew, Raumati the Alolan Marowak, Maran the Flygon (who was unknowingly signed up by Cortez in an attempt to find a way to make extra money), and Merna, a Pawniarmy member.

While this goes on, Finley finally can't take it any longer and confesses to certain members of the party her big secret...that she has ''always'' been a Pokémon and only has some of the memories of a human, simply sticking with the party and pretending to be a former human because she wanted to fit in somewhere. At the same time, PJ reveals to Finley and Jani of his recent discovery that he had actually landed in a female Ribombee (now Helioptile) body from the start of their journey, much to his chagrin. Jani also reveals to the two her plans to use a Transfer Orb on herself in order to get the Terranports out of her hair. During all of this, the party also briefly meets a rock band called Carbon Footprint, here in Gleamscape to perform for the festival, consisting of a Sableye named Wentworth, a Lilligant named Aspen, a Sawk named Topher, and a Hydreigon named Colton. Sushi turns out to be quite a fan of this band.
Once all of the swapped party members are back in their normal bodies, they regroup at the local hotel and see to signing up for the singing contest and just hanging out. Niles leaves the party for some alone time, though Dana cheers him up by presenting to him a custom made hat that she bought for him when he comes back. Marlon meets Marsha and Benji's parents at the hotel, who give Marlon and Marsha their blessing even with Marlon being a former human. Jani goes drinking with Andy and Noriaki and briefly interact with an egotistical Vibrava who is convinced that he is of royal blood. Nori also discovers some mercs for hire at the hotel and hires them to travel with the party, starting with an Alolan Raticate named Chang and an East Sea Gastrodon named Wendy. Lucy has discovered a desire to learn how to sing while hanging out with Eliot and wants to sign up for the contest, prompting Eliot to sign himself and Lucy up for it. However, Eliot makes the unfortunate decision to sign up again in his Salazzle form, gets caught, and is disqualified from the contest. After Eliot breaks the news to Lucy, it's decided that Lucy will perform with Jani's "sister" Lilly instead, and she, Lilly, and Eliot go off to buy some supplies for costumes that Lucy and Lilly will wear during their performance. Marlon, Goobert, Andy, and Jani attempt to talk to Carbon Footprint after suspecting that one of their band members is a humanmon. The attempt backfires, but not before Wentworth acts very suspiciously...
Other party members who sign up for the singing contest include Mila, Niles, Goobert and Delilah, Dieter, Jani and Dinah, and Andy. Some other [=NPCs=] that the party has met before also sign up, including Sushi's pirate peers Dread Pirate Lisa and her crew, Raumati the Alolan Marowak, Maran the Flygon (who was unknowingly signed up by Cortez in an attempt to find a way to make extra money), and Merna, a Pawniarmy member.

It's during this that Dore reappears, having been successful in destroying the entire gang after duping the doorman into collapsing the mountain onto them all (and murdering the doorman afterward), to everyone's shock. Further complicating things is Benji and Dinah befriending a young Riolu named Lucy, whose parents, as it turns out, were in the Bedsheets when Dore went there (her father being a gang member and her mother trying to get him to return home). Upon learning about what happened to Lucy's parents, Niles goes off to teach Dore a lesson. During the ensuing battle, which interrupts Eliot's sparring with the Goo Crew and Jani's sisters, Dore is revealed to be none other than Andy, having turned himself into a Honedge and murdered his own gang in a bid to reinvent himself, to the shock of everyone.

everyone. At the same time that this is going on, PJ and several of the others still in the mansion receive a horrifying vision of Finley hanging herself, though fortunately, the real Finley is alive and well, and what they saw was some sort of illusion produced by an unknown source. Benji also discovers that he has fallen in love with Dinah, who gladly reciprocates Benji's feelings when Benji confesses his love to her. Marsha is briefly worried that Benji pursuing a relationship with Dinah will result in Benji ceasing to ''be'' Benji, though Marlon and Benji himself reassure her that Benji will not abandon his old life that easily.
After this is all said and done, the party calls it a day and all return to the mansion. It's decided that the party will head to Gleamscape in the morning as they were originally going to do before the Orbs incident. The party learns from Benji that a music festival in the town will be starting by the time they get there. The party heads to bed and has a variety of dreams, some bad, some...less bad. As the party sleeps and awaits a new day tomorrow, though, Finley continues to be concerned about ''something'' that she has failed to tell the party since the day they first arrived in this world...
