History

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: other significant events

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

The player first meet Deerling and Shelmet at the Serene Village plaza arguing about a dare that Pancham and Shelmet had made. The player finds out that they had dared Goomy into writing its name on a piece of paper the pair had left behind at Foreboding Forest when running away after becoming scared. The player then decides to head in to save Goomy.

The students become formally introduced to the player at school the next morning. Over the next several days, the students and the player continue to attend school until the Summer holidays approach.

Soon after joining the school, the player reveals to everyone that they were a human when Pancham asks where they're from. Nobody believes the player except their partner. When Budew suddenly goes missing, the player thinks she may have gone to Nectar Meadow to get some Honey for her recently ill mother, Roselia. The students once again doubt the player, forcing them, along with the partner, to help Budew themselves. The following day, the principal tells the students of what the player and partner did, and they give newfound appreciation for their efforts.

During the Summer break, the player and the students find out that multiple staff members of the school had fainted or gone missing during night at the school. Pancham dares the others to meet up at the school to find these rumored ghosts. That night, everyone shows up and the "ghosts" appear. At the sight of a huge shadow, everyone faints except for Espurr, who pretends to be unconscious. Pancham and Shelmet are kidnapped and Espurr follows. Later, Espurr returns and tells the others who have now awakened that Pancham and Shelmet had been taken to the Ancient Barrow. They all head there, where at its end they meet the "Dark Land Emissary".

The next day after the events at the Ancient Barrow, the students meet the player without the player's partner (who is being punished by their father, by being made to do chores all day). In place of the player's partner, the player chooses one of the five students for the day's missions. After completion of the mission, the player becomes connected to all five.

Soon after these events, the player and their partner decide to leave Serene Village for Lively Town to join the Expedition Society. The students meet the pair to say farewell, as well as handing over farewell letters written to them by the other villagers.

Espurr later becomes involved in defeating the Dark Matter after the player and partner meet Espurr in Serene Village when they find out that Krookodile had been seen heading towards the village. While Nuzleaf turns all Pokémon on top of Revelation Mountain into stone, Espurr avoids this by pretending to join Nuzleaf's side. However, Espurr acts as a double agent and begins to assist the Expedition Society by contacting Ampharos telepathically.

Later on, when facing off against Nuzleaf, Yveltal, and the Beheeyem, one of the Beheeyem tries to turn Espurr to stone. However, she is protected by the power of the Harmony Scarves due to being in close proximity to the Tree of Life.

From over that way!" "Condition?" In Serene Village after defeating Dark Matter: "Well, I did. It only seemed natural, when Deerling first mentioned it." "Oh? But where is Mr. Nuzleaf?" "Yes.
