* Chloe recalls the time she performed at her school's talent show, only to find that Sara dumped red paint all over her witch costume right before she was going to go on stage. Though she rallied, putting together a replacement costume with Parker's help, Sara just responded by dumping even more red paint directly onto ''her'', with the help of Yeardley and several other cronies. On top of all that, Sara knocked Parker aside when he tried defending his sister. Chloe's retaliation earned her three days in suspension, and while her tormentors were also punished, they just switched tactics back to nagging her about Pokémon again, showing that they learned ''nothing''.

* Goh's parents unintentionally demonstrate that his lack of social skills and general empathy may have deeper roots than his obsessive pursuit of Mew, as they thoughtlessly advise him to focus on making ''new'' friends and move past his loss. Then when he presses them further, looking for a better reason as to why this happened than just 'because', his mother ''snaps'' on him, unleashing a ''blistering'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech airing out all her grievances with how her son's been living.

That instead of going to school where you could be her shoulder to cry on, you decided that you would teach yourself everything you needed about the world online and refuse to go and make friends in the case you 'missed out' on Mew? That you didn't care about how concerned we were about your social life?! ''That maybe there was more to life than just one Pokémon?!''"

* Lexi was once a sweet innocent book who wanted to go traverse the other cars. However, the passengers he decided to go with were ''Grace and Simon'', the latter cruelly tearing his pages apart and burying him underground without his father knowing what happened to him. He had been stuck in his own car for eight years and carried a grudge towards passengers ("Free-riders" as he calls them) ever since.since.
* In Chapter 6, Chloe is embarrassed about this "Create-a-crush" app where she made a man that was more of a ghost than human and was laughed at by some of the girls in her class for being so scary.
-->'''Lexi:''' And why were you upset about what you created?\\
'''Chloe:''' Because...because it was so different...because I was different! They hated me because I wasn't normal. Because normal girls are all about Pokémon and dressing them up and making them look cute. Or they swoon over handsome guys to sweep them off their feet. Princes, supernatural monsters, wish-granters, princesses, fairies, magic...those are all the common things they’re into! Not dark and twisted things or childish books! Normal girls don’t worry about their future; they worry about getting the newest dress or watching dramas or gushing about cute boys and movie stars or whatever they’re into these days!\\
'''Lexi:''' And what would it mean to ''you'' if you were normal?\\
'''Chloe:''' It means I’m not alone! It means I have people by my side! I’ve been alone for years, never had anyone to confide my insecurities and fears to! My closest friend abandoned me for some shapeshifting monster and a black hole from Pallet Town, leaving me behind! He never cared about what I did because it wasn’t exciting enough nor did it involve Mew to satisfy his cravings!

*** To drive the point how as to how much Chloe hates Goh's obsession with Mew, her story paints Goh as a boy so obsessed that he'd kill his own friend (albeit accidentally) and Mew is a JackassGenie who cursed Goh to chase it forever.

* Chloe's issues and her breakdown in Chapter 1 put her on level with Tulip as she's just ''sick'' of everyone never paying any attention to her. One moment of her tirade is screaming at her father why he had to become a Pokémon Professor because no one ever cares about her, rather if she's going to follow in ''his'' footsteps.
** Professor Cerise realizing how bad he's ignored Chloe, to the point that he eats three of the curries in silence before weeping at his foolishness.
** Chapter 4 shows how everyone is reacting to Chloe's disappearance: Goh blames himself for Chloe hating him, Professor Cerise snaps at Parker innocently questioning where his sister is (and Parker thinks it's his fault that Chloe is gone) and Talia so depressed that the only food she can muster to cook these days is omelette rice.
** Chapter 5 has Goh going to Chloe's school to chew out all her classmates who essentially pushed Chloe into battling and running away. But the students reply that Goh is equally to blame for this because he had all the time to notice Chloe's problems. And Goh is even shocked that Chloe mentioned him in the past.
