Or is it? L'Arachel appears to Mila in a dream and informs her that Nyquil wishes to speak with her and Autumn at a seaside cliff outside town. Worried, Mila gathers up a small group of the party consisting of herself, Autumn, Noriaki, Eliot, Kevin, Dinah, Soten, and Nephenee to meet Nywuil there. However, it turns out to be a trap as they are ambushed by Nyquil, Montresor, and Notte. A scuffle between the party and the three associates of L'Arachel ensues, and it ends with Nyquil inadvertently fatally striking an already weak Soten with a blast meant for Noriaki. Some of the party members react in gobsmacked horror (with Dinah in particular having a panic attack and running away), and Nyquil himself is mortified. A furious Nephenee evolves into a Scolipede on the spot and tries to attack Montresor and company, but Montresor and Notte leave with Nyquil before the party can do anything else. The stunned party trudges back to the inn and has a very unsettled rest.

On the Blissparce front, Goobert, Dieter, and the other mystery solvers visit the local mortician, a Gorgeist named [[GenderBlenderName Wendy]], who has been analyzing Harvey's remains to figure out some answers as to who killed him. The only lead Wendy has to go on is a piece of cartilage assumed to be from Harvey's assailant, but now believes there to be more than one killer acting on this, and promises to work through the night to learn more. The clue crew then goes to eat at Pappa's again before calling it a day. While there, Cortez pours out his frustrations with himself, his life, his uncertainty about his future after being uncursed (due to the loss of everything he had in Hoard), and his envy of Maran, Sunny, and particularly Rich's respective lives to Taylor A, who was a Rich clone at the time. Cortez is encouraged to simply start anew rather than give up, to which Cortez eventually, if reluctantly, agrees. The clue crew disbands for the night and hits the hay.
The next morning, the party is still reeling from the events of last night in varying ways. The mood of both the humanmons and the mercenaries alike is generally dour, Marlon and Marsha are distraught that they couldn't help, and Mila is unable to recall any of the events until the party tells her as such. Mila panics upon learning what she did and runs away into the woods. Achilles, Woodruff, and Jyut run to talk her down. Meanwhile, the rest of the party go to attend Soten's funeral at the glade where he died. Nephenee is appointed to be Soten's successor during this. It's shortly after returning to Holstown afterwards that Noriaki and the others learn that Montresor wants to challenge Noriaki to a duel in some ruins in the southern part of the island. It's decided that Autumn, Eliot, Marlon, Marsha, Nephenee, and Dinah will accompany Noriaki to said duel. Meanwhile, Grigori, Jack, Eliza, Arsene, and the other mercenaries will go around to amass a group of Pok&ecute;mon to fight L'Arachel and her forces. During all of this, Woodruff continues to try and calm Mila down at the inn.
Meanwhile, Goobert, Dieter, and the others wake up for the next day of mystery-solving. No sooner than they do so when they get word from the Taylors that Wendy has identified the cartilage found in Harvey's body, as well as some poison from the scene of the crime itself, as being from the pinchers and tail of a Gligar or Gliscor. As there are multiple Gligars and Gliscors in Blissparce, the party splits up to interview three of them: Goobert and Tiff go to see the calm, but wealthy Lydia. Mia and Taylor B go to visit the bubbly Ramona. Finally, Taylor A, Dieter, and Rich visit the reclusive Gligar David Oliveria.
Noriaki and those accompanying him set off to the Eluant Ruins, journeying through a swamp full of sunken buildings before arriving at the ruins proper. It turns out that L'Arachel, Nyquil, and the rest of the vassals have all come with Montresor to the ruins as well, and by the time the party arrives, they have terrorized the ruins' population of Ghost-type Pokémon, driven them out of their homes at the center of the ruins where the duel is to take place, and abducted their Golurk guardian. Their Dusclops leader encourages the main party to take their home back, and the party goes on. It's at the center of the ruins that the party finds the Mega Evolved Montresor ready for battle, with L'Arachel and the rest of the vassals (including Nyquil) spectating. Noriaki, Nephenee, Marlon, and Marsha quickly get into a heated battle with Montresor while Autumn, Eliot, and Dinah try to knock some sense into Nyquil and later begin reasoning with L'Arachel herself (with a series of statements on Autumn's part putting all three of their lives on the line).

In Blissparce, Goobert, Dieter, and the cursed mons start the day with some breakfast (and discover that Tilly and Lilly have seemingly left for Agartha already) and soon meet the Dos Santos family. Goobert, Dieter, Maran, and Cortez decide to join them to see what the town's traditional good-luck ceremonies are like while Cortez and Sunny stay behind to discuss her and Maran's run-in with Harvey the previous night. However, the ceremony goes awry when rules regarding it end up being disregarded due to Higgins's nervousness, and made even worse when a Tropius farmer discovers the mangled corpse of Harvey Cosby outside town and word reaches the stage mid-ceremony. As Maran and Sunny were the last known Pokémon to see Harvey (in a confrontation that turned ugly in the end), they're believed to be suspects in Harvey's murder, getting Goobert, Dieter, and the cursed mons caught up in the mess. Maran and Sunny end up cleared of suspicion as they have a good alibi, and Goobert, Dieter, and Rich are recruited by the police to find out who really caused the murders, starting with an old Pidgey friend of Harvey's named Ann Bland who was also murdered not long before he was. It's during this that the two cops helping the crew, Taylor Amarath and Taylor Barley, discover that Dieter looks like the "[[NotQuiteDead deceased]]" Zebediah and just why he looks that why. Nervous about more people possibly recognizing them, Dieter elects to disguise themselves as a twin of Rich (via Rich's curse) for the time being to avoid any nastier circumstances that could arise from more people finding out.

Meanwhile, the main party goes to Narcia to take down Dorian and his goons. Soten leads a group to face off with the goons in front of the building while several of the others take advantage of the distraction to sneak in through the back of the building. The party makes their way through the building (with Dana and Dinah's respective abilities proving useful at points) and eventually meets Dorian. Needless to say, Dorian is not pleased to see them and attacks with surprisingly strong attacks, among them being magic attacks unlike anything any of the Pokémon (native and former human alike) have ever seen. Both battles end at the same time when Pinsir townsmon Hector throws his former Heracross friend (corrupted by power) through Dorian's building, knocking both of them out completely. The deposed Dorian and his goons are arrested soon thereafter, and Dorian's father, an eccentric Lickilicky, makes a timely return to admonish his son for the terrible things he did and retake his position as the head honcho over Holstown and Narcia.
The day saved, several of the main party head back to Holstown while some of the others go to see Dorian to find out what he knows about L'Arachel. There at the jail, Dorian describes L'Arachel using a strange magic that he describes as "closing one's heart" and making them ruthless and cruel. It's concluded that this must be the magic that L'Arachel used on Niles and they begin heading back to Holstown with this new info. But before they can make it there, however, they are unexpectedly ambushed by L'Arachel herself (cheesed off that the party took down one of her highest ranking mooks, namely Dorian) and a battle ensues. L'Arachel proves to be a very dangerous foe and beats a few of the humanmons within an inch of their lives until she is finally done with them and leaves. Reeling from the confrontation in different ways, the party catches up with the others in Holstown, and they all finally begin to wind down for the day.

The day saved, several of the main party head back to Holstown while some of the others go to see Dorian to find out what he knows about L'Arachel. There at the jail, Dorian describes L'Arachel using a strange magic that he describes as "closing one's heart" and making them ruthless and cruel. It's concluded that this must be the magic that L'Arachel used on Niles and they begin heading back to Holstown with this new info. But before they can make it there, however, they are unexpectedly ambushed by L'Arachel herself (cheesed off that the party took down one of her highest ranking mooks, namely Dorian) and a battle ensues. L'Arachel proves to be a very dangerous foe and beats a few of the humanmons within an inch of their lives until she is finally done with them and leaves. Reeling from the confrontation in different ways, the party catches up with the others in Holstown, and they all finally begin to wind down for the day.
It's during this that Philly, having not been seen by the party since not long after the Hoard incident, returns to the party, now having evolved into an Electrode and toting a "wrecking ball" suit made by the same blacksmith who created Rich's gloves, invites several of the party to go out for drinks. Kevin, Woodruff, and Zeb take him up on the offer. While there, the subject of the Viral Aggression is brought up, getting the attention of a Golisopod named Shelley and her Mareanie companion James, who seem curious about the subject. At the inn, the party takes turns using the inn's bath house, during which many reflect on the day and get some surprises. Grigori, feeling depressed about the battle after his Frenzy drove him to do a number of reckless actions and worried about blowing it with Eliza, is able to relax for once and is able to rest following a chat with Noriaki. Marlon gets a very strange vision while in the bath house that makes him wonder if circumstances are pushing him to give up being a Gallade who always has to play the hero in favor of becoming a Swampert. Dinah ends up discovering that Bea was actually a Haunter who saved her life in the past. Eliot discovers a new, much easier way to shapeshift while in the bath house (entering a relaxed state enables him to essentially slide into other forms without losing any energy), and [[HilarityEnsues confusion ensues]] when he inadvertently transforms into Mila in front of Mila herself (as well as Dana, Noriaki, and Dinah).

Denalsi. An accident involving Rich's curse ends up damaging Benji's boat and waylaying them in the small farm town of Blissparce, where a group of siblings, Noémia the Machamp, Tiago the Conkeldurr, and Tiff the Cacturne, agree to help repair the ''Shifter''. In the meantime, the group arrives in town just in time for the dedication of a memorial for the fallen towns Hiveton and Milkett, overseen by Blissparce mayor Rave Higgins the Dunsparce and his Bayleef assistant Amy G. Dala. It's here that Goobert and the others learn of a yearly-turned-weekly town tradition where the town has a ceremony that involves them burning a portion of their berries to appeal to the forest for good luck in Berry farming, and, as of late, protection from the Viral Aggression that destroyed Blissparce's neighboring towns. The townsfolk is visibly displeased with the tradition being moved to a weekly affair, given it's severely cutting into their supplies and profits, especially the wealthiest Berry farmer in town, Pancho Dos Santos (the father to the Mia and her three siblings (the fourth being an Alakazam named Izabel), who believes that the offerings aren't enough and they need to actively fight back against the VA. Higgins seems to feel that he has no choice, given the recent murders going on outside town. Once the ceremony is over, the Dos Santos siblings leave Goobert, Dieter, Tilly and Lilly, and the others at the local cafe and go to visit their parents, where they learn the shocking news that their fourth sibling Izabel has been discovered dead in the forest, one of the latest victims of the mysterious murders.
Meanwhile, the main party arrives in Holstown. Lane has been given flying lessons from Hudson along the way, and Dinah (who has stayed behind to train to defend herself after a nightmare the previous day) begins to wonder what she's getting herself into. The party also meets up with Dana again, now accompanied by a new Monferno friend named Jinu. Holstown is a mess following an attack by super-charged mons working under Dorian, the corrupt Lickitung leader of Narcia who is allied with L'Arachel, now all but confirmed to be in this world. The party splits up to search for clues about the missing mons, what exactly caused Dorian's men to be a force to be reckoned with, and what L'Arachel and her associates have to do with it. Kevin, Dinah, Eliot, Zeb, Juni, Woodruff, and Lane interview Holstown residents about the missing mons (with poor Woodruff having a bizarre and disturbing encounter with an old Froslass friend of his mother's in the process) while the Marduo leads a party consisting of themselves, Nori, Grigori, Eliza, Nyquil, Dana, Castaway, and some others to look for clues about Dorian's crew. The party finds out a number of things, including that the missing mons are all but confirmed to have been transformed into mindless Combee slaves working under L'Arachel and Dorian and his men are using her magic to make themselves nigh-invincible. The Marduo's party ends up ambushed by Montresor, Notte, and Zelgius, and a huge fight ensues. In the process, Montresor and co use bizarre, magic-infused moves, Marlon's Mega Stone ends up destroyed (and Marlon gets an odd vision in the process), and Nyquil and Dana both get their heads handed to them. They fortunately get rescued by a group of Bug-type mercenaries (no relation to the ones Noriaki met in Gleamscape) and before they get beaten too badly, but they still return, beaten, to Holstown. Exhausted, the party (now joined by their new allies) head into the inn to rest, reeling from the long day and what all happened.
In Blissparce, Benji decides to go ahead to Gleamscape while the boat is repaired and leaves for there with Delilah, Lucy, June, and Liesl. It's not long after this that Goobert, Dieter, and the cursed mons bump into the stunned Dos Santos siblings. Learning what happened and realizing their stay in Gleamscape might be longer, the Dos Santos siblings take some time off to grieve and Goobert, Dieter, Tilly and Lilly and their pals head toward the inn, with the exception of Maran and Sunny, who go on a date night. Said date night goes awry when Sunny and Maran run into Sunny's ex-boyfriend Harvey Cosby, an abusive clingy actor-turned-farmer who tries to steal Sunny away from Maran (with neither Maran or Sunny complying) and causing the two's relationship to be shaken up a bit. At the same time, Cortez learns that his inn has been closed down after Fan (who had been impersonating Cortez and filling in for him at Cortez's inn) fled Hoard, causing him to experience a HeroicBSOD. The weary crew goes to bed not really knowing what to expect in the morning. Meanwhile, Mayor Higgins is increasingly nervous about the going-ons in town, fearing a childhood tale told to him by his mother might be true, and changes the rules of the good-luck ceremony tomorrow. Meanwhile, ''something'' is in the woods outside Blissparce...
Back in Holstown, the party winds down for the night. Marlon is still reeling from losing his Mega Stone and writes Goobert a letter before he and Marsha turn in. Noriaki chats with Grigori a bit more before they turn in. Dinah, after telling Eliot about her worries about not being able to contribute much to this current escapade, learns from Eliot about the horrors of being wrapped up in a group that gets into seemingly constant danger at every turn, and Dinah begins to think twice about having herself, Benji, and especially Lucy always travelling with them (especially since they're well on their way to starting a new family), though nevertheless reaffirming her determination to learn how to defend herself so she can protect Lucy. But the biggest surprise of the night is Nyquil, feeling like a powerless failure due to losing so badly to Montresor and his companions, wanders out of the inn and bumps into none other than L'Arachel herself. Preying on the emotionally vulnerable Quilava's mind, L'Arachel promises Niles great power if she joins her. Niles accepts, and he is instantly turned evil on the spot, willing to go after his friends.
Meanwhile, the treasure hunters in Eluant Cavern finally get into the mysterious Fallo Ter, and it becomes increasingly clear that it's actually a ''fallo''ut shel''ter'' serving an indeterminate purpose (Sarah assumes [[NukeEm the obvious]]), and seems built to detect entry from Pokémon as it fires Pokéballs, including functional ones, at the treasure hunters, capturing some of them and resulting in Winnie (believing the Pokéballs to be killing the other treasure hunters) to flee for her life.

The next morning starts off with everyone hitting the ground running, with Achilles, the mercenaries, and the main party planning to face Dorian to overthrow him and get some answers in the process. After a plan is made, time is allowed for everyone to prepare for the oncoming battle by doing some training outside, something that'll benefit the inexperienced party members such as Lane and Dinah considerably. Dinah works with Whirlipede merc Nephenee, Armaldo merc Soten, and Marlon to learn various moves, Marlon and Marsha have some chats with Grigori and Eliza, and Lane bumps into former Slak Rock dojo trainers Cyrus and Bea and gets some pointers from them. In the meantime, Noriaki, Dana, and Castaway go to search for the missing Nyquil, finding him in the woods. They very quickly find out that Nyquil has been corrupted by L'Arachel (to Nori's horror) and the evil Nyquil mops the floor with the three.
In Blissparce, Goobert, Dieter, and the cursed mons start the day with some breakfast (and discover that Tilly and Lilly have seemingly left for Agartha already) and soon meet the Dos Santos family. Goobert, Dieter, Maran, and Cortez decide to join them to see what the town's traditional good-luck ceremonies are like while Cortez and Sunny stay behind to discuss her and Maran's run-in with Harvey the previous night. However, the ceremony goes awry when rules regarding it end up being disregarded due to Higgins's nervousness, and made even worse when a Tropius farmer discovers the mangled corpse of Harvey Cosby outside town and word reaches the stage mid-ceremony.

The main party arrives at Mount Vert and separate to search for Anastasia. All parties initially get stuck in a looping area, with Marlon's group coming across the same boulder, Eliot's group seeing the same Dedenne scampering around, etc. Everyone breaks out of these illusions with varying levels of difficulty. Next, the party all come across various other (mostly Dark-type) Pokémon in the mountains. Some are hostile, such as the Mightyenas that accost Noriaki and Mila's groups. Others are actually other members of the party. Once everyone breaks out of the illusions, however, they all regroup and shortly afterward stumble upon Anastasia's layer in the cave. A battle ensues, during which Anastasia reveals that she's the one who made Yamaropu, Merquery, and Bella vectors...though not the one who created it in the first place. She escapes upon defeat, and, after a moment to take all of this news in, begin to return to Foxfell. It turns out that Mila was also never there in the first place, as a Zoroark guard named Nika had assumed Mila's appearance to keep an eye on everyone (the real Mila had stayed in Foxfell with Autumn). The party is invited to have their injuries treated at the palace triage by Autumn and be treated to a celebratory dinner afterwards, which everyone is on board with. It's during this that the party is rejoined by Maran and Cortez (a mishap involving Rich's curse resulted in them losing their boat and having to return to Foxfell) and Benji offers to take them the rest of the way there as he goes to get Renata.

The rulers of Foxfell turn out to be fine as they meet the party, informing them that they recently arrested an advisor who was planning an assasination and had her under lock and key. Unfortunately, however, as they say this, she escapes. They urge the party that they'll handle this and urge them to rest at an inn. As they leave the castle and Finley suggests a place, another humon, a Glaceon, falls from the sky, confused. They join the party as they head to the inn, a nice inn run by a family of Luxrays and a suspicious Growlithe the family recently took in. As the party is checking in, Eliot, Goobert, and Delilah begin getting the itch to do some sparring, but there is no dojo in Foxfell. They also bump into Sunny's troupe leader, a Machoke named Tyrell Georgés, who learns the whereabouts of Sunny, Javert, and Eponine from the party and goes to find them, acting rather suspiciously all the way. Meanwhile, young Niles organizes a game of tag with Lucy and Benji, with Mila and Marsha also getting caught in the fracas, that ends abruptly when Niles runs into a wall trying to tag Mila and gets a scrape on his leg. The game of tag over, the party goes to eat at a local French-like restaurant. At the same time, the party crosses paths with Jack again when he and the crew he joined since seeing them (lead by a Walrein named Warfridge) last get lost on the way to the same inn the party is staying at and cause a ruckus outside the restaurant, as discovered by Grigori, Salty!Dieter, Benji, and a Tsareena named Eliza when they go out to investigate. Jack is promoted to a higher position in the crew while a Feraligatr crewmate of Jack's, Sharptooth, is demoted for getting the crew lost. Sharptooth doesn't take this well and goes to plan a mutiny against Warfridge with his ex-pirate friends.

It's almost immediately after this that one of the Foxfell guardsmen, badly injured, shows up at the inn looking for Autumn after the royal guardsmen had their heads handed to them after trying to stop the treacherous advisor. Autumn urges everyone to get a move on, and they all head to the castle. They are met by the king there, and they get the skinny on the rogue advisor, including how she is somehow using illusions to wreck havoc. The party winds up falling victim to one such illusion briefly when for a moment it appears that Autumn snapped and killed her own father. The urgency in the situation increasing by the minute, the party begins attempting to come up with a plan to stop the advisor for good.
Meanwhile, both sets of treasure hunters wake up and prepare for the day, with Stellian waking up from a nightmare about Phoebe and her clan. The "protagonist" group had a very uneventful night (with Sarah and Hellbender seeing nothing while keeping an eye out for trouble). They continue on, going through the small hamlet called Holstown that has fallen from glory since the Lickitung mobster Dorian came into power in nearby Narcia. The treasure hunters cross paths with Stellian and his two lackeys again here before getting some firewood and heading into Narcia itself. The crew learns just how terrible the situation in Holstown is from a Venonat miner thanks to Dorian and cautiously continue on. They end up passing by Dorian himself as he discusses something with a Magmar who seems to be from somewhere far away.

away. The treasure hunters stop for a bite to eat and end up bumping into a Zoroark merchant, a wild Skitty named Tronne, and an old friend of Yukio's in the form of a Jynx named Even (who compulsively uses coin tosses to decide her every move). Cam befriends Tronne, who decides to tag along with the crew, and the group begins moving on into the Eluant Canyons...inadvertently leaving Yukio behind in the process as he gets tied up with Even.
Meanwhile, the main party leaves the castle for now in order to continue their plans for apprehending Anastasia, stopping at a cafe in town. It's decided that the party will split up into groups as they head to the mountain, Mount Vert, that Anastasia is supposedly hiding in. It's during this that there is suspicious behavior from the mons passing by outside the cafe, and the kid Niles is returned to his normal form and age with one of the Reset Orbs the captain of the guard, Ludovic, gave to the party. Niles is quite embarrassed once he realizes that he was his younger self in front of everyone. The party decides to split up into five groups, with a Psychic-type in each one if possible to keep everyone in touch as they go on their monhunt (Eliot morphing into a Kadabra and Benji being fetched in order to help with this). The parties are split as follows: Niles and Mila. Noriaki, Zebediet, and Benji. Marlon, Goobert, and Wrench. Eliot, PJ, Jack, Lucy, and new arrival Draz the Salandit (who seems to have come from a sci-fi-type universe). Marsha, Delilah, and Ludovic. Lastly, Grigori, Tilly, Vassago, and Snaptooth. Once they are all prepared, the party moves out to head to Mount Vert.
Meanwhile, the treasure hunters get to know a little more about Tronne as they continue their trek to the mysterious Fallo Ter, learning that she lives in the canyon with her mother and brother, and it's implied that they are wild enough to be meat-eaters, unsettling the crew. They are also being observed from a distance by a mysterious, yet familiar Mismagius. Sarah and the others then end up running afoul of Stellan and his crew again. Their arguments over who has claims on the treasure escalates into a brawl that ends with several of the party members injured and a large rock-slide. In the commotion, the Mismagius, who turns out to be none other than Winnie, the Shiny Ditto the party met in Gleamscape, abducts Tronne, makes her fall asleep, and then shifts into Tronne's form and seamlessly replaces her in the party. Winnie is desperate to get whatever treasure lies in Fallo Ter. The two rival treasure hunting parties then go their separate ways again, with Sarah and the others meeting up with Sirus again, who takes them to the entrance to Fallo Ter. Meanwhile, the real Tronne wakes up and follows the Onix's trail upon realizing that her new friends have vanished.
At the door, the treasure hunters take advantage of Cam's vague recollections of using Flamethrower to get her to re-learn it and melt down the thick door blocking the entrance. Stellan and co. end up catching up as well, and a truce is made between the two parties to get through the door. Around the same time, the real Tronne catches up to the parties, forcing Winnie to reveal herself to Sarah and the others. The others are angry with Winnie, but begrudgingly allow her to stay and help bring down the door. Winnie, choosing to ally herself with Stellan's crew for the time being, complies by turning into Cam's exact double and using Flamethrower herself. It's shortly after this that Yukio catches up...having been set-back by Even duping him into getting messed up with a Gallade named Cillian and his gang of thugs, who forced him to lead them to Fallo Ter.

The group heads to Mullions and eats some things to unwind. Niles tries eating some Liechi berries but, while sweet, they prove too spicy for him. The group mostly heads to the dojo, with Dieter and Zeb/Zebediet heading to buy more berry supplies and Genna and Harold going elsewhere. The party meets a Flabebe named Jenny while training, she reveals herself as another humanmon. She expressed a desire to learn moves, claiming it was so she could kill people if needed, but this did not get a good reaction from the dojo staff. They found someone to train with her anyway. Meanwhile, a Ninetales named Niseko trained Niles, teaching him and later Dana how to use Extrasensory, though it led to Niles getting a headache. Zebediet also returned around this time and offered the party some berries. In the midst of some more training, a shiny Heliolisk appeared and met the party. She said her name was Sunny Burns and she was interested in heading to Foxfell. The party also found out she was cursed as well, her voice randomly shifting suddenly, given to her because she was selfish in her roles.

Finley is anxious to head to Foxfell after the dream, urging others to hurry up to get on the next boat. When they board said boat, they have a surprise encounter with Sarah, who boarded the boat after her confrontation with Eliot last night. After a boat ride, the group arrives in Foxfell. They meet some of Sunny's old troupe, who were ambushed by Clamperl and needed to be taken to the hospital. In the hospital Sunny sees and gets a crush on Maran, leading to her following his group to get un-cursed. As well, Benji meets up with the group, initially pretending to be Marlon. This leads to a reunion with the Goo Crew, but begins with a fake out by June with disguising some logs as Goobert. While the group catches up with each other, Marlon asks Dieter to share how they got cursed and the story causes Dinah to faint. At this time, Dieter decides to ask June to illusion them to look like a Skuntank Sailor named Salty, due to an earlier talk with Benji where they expressed interest in his alter egos. Eventually Finley has enough and leads the group on toward the castle, telling the group to call her Autumn from now on.

confused. They join the party as they head to the inn, a nice inn run by a family of Luxrays and a suspicious Growlithe the family recently took in. As the party is checking in, Eliot, Goobert, and Delilah begin getting the itch to do some sparring, but there is no dojo in Foxfell. They also bump into Sunny's troupe leader, a Machoke named Tyrell Georgés, who learns the whereabouts of Sunny, Javert, and Eponine from the party and goes to find them, acting rather suspiciously all the way. Meanwhile, young Niles organizes a game of tag with Lucy and Benji, with Mila and Marsha also getting caught in the fracas, that ends abruptly when Niles runs into a wall trying to tag Mila and gets a scrape on his leg. The game of tag over, the party goes to eat at a local French-like restaurant. At the same time, the party crosses paths with Jack again when he and the crew he joined since seeing them (lead by a Walrein named Warfridge) last get lost on the way to the same inn the party is staying at and cause a ruckus outside the restaurant, as discovered by Grigori, Salty!Dieter, Benji, and a Tsareena named Eliza when they go out to investigate. Jack is promoted to a higher position in the crew while a Feraligatr crewmate of Jack's, Sharptooth, is demoted for getting the crew lost. Sharptooth doesn't take this well and goes to plan a mutiny against Warfridge with his ex-pirate friends.
After eating, some of the party goes back to the inn while others go to the beach to spar, as that is the only real place to do so in Foxfell. As this happens, the party bumps into yet another humanmon, a Metagross going by Vassago, who befriends the party and watches the others spar with Noriaki. Benji and Dinah take Salty!Dieter on a ride on Benji's boat the ''Shifter'' and teach them how to sail for a while. Marlon, Goobert, Grigori, Marsha, and Delilah all either spar with each other or try new moves. Lucy takes the opportunity to spar with Eliot and show him her own moves that she's learned, particularly Copycat. She successfully copies Delilah's Wing Attack and Eliot's Flame Burst, and then manages to copy Eliot's Transform, morphing into Eliot's Sandslash form. After a moment of worry from the others (particularly Dinah) over how Lucy can return to normal, it fortunately turns out that Lucy can return to normal at will.
Meanwhile, Sarah's band of treasure hunters bump into some rival treasure hunters consisting of an Alolan Golem (Stellian), a Sandygast (Sandy), and a Whimsicott (Delara). Like the party, they are heading for the mysterious box in the Eluant Mountains (which supposedly holds the remnants of a human city) for their own reasons, and Stellian has no qualms about getting the party out of his way. The two rival parties part ways, knowing they'll likely bump into each other again, and soon set up camp for the night.
Soon, the day ends and the sparring folks back in Foxfell head back to the inn (or June's house in Benji and Dinah's case). The party winds down for the night, and various things happen. Niles, wanting to learn Agility, sneaks out of his, Autumn, and Mila's room to do so and winds up knocking himself unconscious outside the inn. Goobert and Delilah reflect on the day and get the idea to bring Renata to Danjor Island to restore her crippled legs, and afterward decide to...do things and stuff before going to sleep. Eliot finds PJ already in the inn, and begins to worry that the source of the Viral Aggression is what brought the humanmons to this world. As Eliot's worries escalate to a full-blown nervous breakdown, PJ manages to calm Eliot back down (all while still trying to hide his continued feelings for his best friend).
Meanwhile, Maran and Cortez's band of cursed mons are at another inn, and Eponine and Javert, both feeling ill again, get a knock on their door. They open it to find Georgés;s there...along with Phoebe, Gomer, and the same clan of Clamperl that ambushed them earlier! Eponine discovers to her horror that Georgés;s has allied himself with Phoebe's clan to save his own skin and that the poison Phoebe used on her and Javert was actually a serum invented by Phoebe that painfully transforms them both into amnesiac Clamperls that the clearly insane Phoebe assimilates into her clan and calls her children. By the next morning, Phoebe, Gomer, Georgés, and the Clamperls have left Foxfell with the transformed Eponine and Javert.

Upon reaching the hotel, Rich's wife, Polly, meets the party and talks with them, confirming some of them do know her husband. Most of the party goes for a quick dinner, discussing who they'll be sharing rooms with. While they do this, Dieter talks with Horowitz, attempting to talk with him about the King's death, some of their own concerns, and trying to stay in touch. They end up spending the night with him.
Meanwhile, Finlord and Sarah talk about performing on stage with Olias. They are met with resistance by a Bouffalant band member, but make it work regardless. Sarah sings a faux-Lunalan ballad, but as she and Eliot perform, the Lillipup they were hoping to trick fell asleep. Sarah again claims that she isn't Jani, but attempts to get out of her thing, still traveling with the party.
Finally, Finley has a nightmare, affirming her desire to go to Foxfell ASAP.

Meanwhile, a Ninetales named Niseko trained Niles, teaching him and later Dana how to use Extrasensory, though it led to Niles getting a headache. Zebediet also returned around this time and offered the party some berries. In the midst of some more training, a shiny Heliolisk appeared and met the party. She said her name was Sunny Burns and she was interested in heading to Foxfell. The party also found out she was cursed as well, her voice randomly shifting suddenly, given to her because she was selfish in her roles.

Outside the dojo, Noriaki encounters a Roserade named Róisín, who the party finds out is also a humanmon. Done with training for then, the party decides what to do next with their scenario. Dieter offers a hotel Horowitz told them about and the party heads in that direction.
