Ye Yinchuan used the Crystal Light Sun Stone and Solrock to push Xiao Xiu’s Paras toward a new evolution by drying out the mushrooms on its back. Paras began forming a cocoon, and Ye Yinchuan announced that its evolution had started, though its eventual form remained unknown.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that Paras’s mushrooms were draining its nutrients and preventing it from evolving, despite Xiao Xiu having tried ten Sun Stones.

As he prepared to leave the Tourism Garden, a staff member told him that the Tera Orb had arrived and Researcher Zheng Hui had brought him a rare Pokémon.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that Phage Parasect fed bodily waste to the fungi inside it, then absorbed nutrients the fungi produced, and that it could remove and eat mushrooms from its body.

• The Trainer sent Vaporeon and Jolteon after Sobble, and Jolteon struck it with a powerful Thunder Shock before the man tried to catch it.
• Sobble knocked away the Poké Ball and used Teary-Eyed, making the Trainer and his Pokémon cry while Whimsicott shielded Ye Yinchuan with Fairy Wind.
• The Trainer grabbed and shook Sobble, so Ye Yinchuan told him to let it go and warned that he would hold him accountable for abuse.
• The Trainer challenged Ye Yinchuan to a battle and threatened his Pokémon, and Ye Yinchuan took out a Poké Ball as the viewers noted the opposing Pokémon were above Level 40.

Ye Yinchuan sent Snorlax to face a Trainer who had been mistreating Sobble, and Snorlax overwhelmed the man’s Jolteon. The Trainer surrendered when Ye Yinchuan revealed his identity and an official investigation, but Jolteon then attacked Ye Yinchuan and was caught by Snorlax, adding another charge against its Trainer.

• Ye Yinchuan sent out Snorlax, which used Amnesia to withstand Jolteon’s Pin Missile and Screech to interrupt its Discharge.
• Snorlax used Yawn on Jolteon, and the middle-aged Trainer had Vaporeon wake it with water while insisting the battle could be two-on-one.
• Ye Yinchuan released Decidueye, Leafeon Miss, Miraidon, Lairon, and Ogerpon, prompting the middle-aged Trainer to surrender and apologize.

Ye Yinchuan rescued and caught Sobble, then rode Milotic into Tidal Offshore to explore and appraise Pokémon. He caught an unusually mutated Finneon for his Tourism Garden and spotted a Lumineon in shallow water, which he suspected had only just evolved.

• Ye Yinchuan healed Sobble, shared food with it, and caught it after the middle-aged trainer's abuse was exposed.

• Ye Yinchuan pursued Set, who stopped the wave, apologized, and said she was his fan.

• Ye Yinchuan accepted Set’s apology, and Set offered to have Golduck teach Milotic Surf.
• Set explained Surf and began guiding Milotic and Ye Yinchuan through practice at sea.
