As he copes with the fact that he was trapped playing the Reapers' Game, Augustine gets to know his new partner, Sandre, as well as learning about the Game and his new powers known as Psychs. At the same time, they must finish a mission that involves a large Noise and a possessed man.
This arc provides examples of:
- Big Damn Heroes: Augustine does this to the two boys, Hayate and Kazuki, from being outnumbered by the Noise.
- Demonic Possession: The director of Lumiose Museum ends up being possessed by Noise, forcing the Players to fight off any other Noise it attracts to him before they can reach their true target inside.
- Epic Fail: Happens when Augustine tries the Psychokinesis and Shockwave against the Froakie Noise, leaving him open after staring at it dumbfounded.
- Fountain of Youth: Augustine finds himself shrunk down into a teenager. Sandre is also affected, though he seems to be unfazed by the changes.
- Hellhound: The Boltund Noise who, unlike its normal counterpart, it's not a friendly dog and is willing to electrocute anyone in its path. Most of the Lycanroc Noise also counts.
- Heroic BSoD: Augustine briefly goes into this state after realizing that the events yesterday are real.
- Made of Explodium: Played for Laughs. This happens to Augustine when most of the Psychs are accidentally activated when he puts all of his starter pins at the same time.
- Mental World: Augustine seemingly finds himself in this when trying to free the museum director from the Noise through a mysterious new Psych that no one seems to possess.
- Wham Episode: After the mission, Augustine notices that the strange device (Holo Caster) suddenly activated due to the Boltund Noise's last attack charging it up. The first holo message he got? A declaration of threat from none other than Lysandre. The second holo message's subject title? "To Sycamore".
