• Ho-Oh Feather heated up and glowed, enveloping Ye Yinchuan in energy as a mysterious will entered his mind.

Ye Yinchuan used Ho-Oh’s power to investigate the source of the poisonous Muddy Water and discovered Huntail protecting its family, a Cherrim and several Clamperl. After purifying and feeding them, he accepted a Deep Sea Tooth from Huntail, only for a group of Carvanha to surround them.

Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon fought off a Carvanha swarm while containing a toxic leak in the seabed Muddy Water, and two Clamperl evolved during the battle. As Ye Yinchuan prepared to trace the pollution’s source, a factory responsible for dumping industrial waste learned that Dark Ho-Oh’s Emissary had arrived.

Ye Yinchuan arrived at Smud Factory and found its workers trapped in a deadly confrontation engineered by Dark Ho-Oh's Emissary, Xiao Hei. To save them, Ye accepted a best-of-three Pokémon battle, but his Snorlax faced a powerful Dark Rhyperior whose opening combo became a lethal threat.
