Plot

Lenora andRoxanne enter the museum, excited to open it to the public.Lear walks over from nearby. He asks the two if they will be alright with managing the exhibit, which will contain recently excavated artifacts from an archaeological site. Lenora is happy to help, mentioning her background of being a director of acertain museum. Lear reveals there is an issue that they must address—a security guard has reported hearing sobbing at night. He worries that something in the museum is haunted, which would result in the cancellation of the exhibition for the safety of the visitors. He asks Roxanne and Lenora to investigate the problem, and they readily agree.

After sunset, Roxanne goes to meet with Lenora. She sees her speaking withPhoebe in the city, which is decorated for the Midnight Parade. Phoebe mentions that she came over when she had the feeling that someone was calling out to her from the museum. Lenora and Roxanne tell her about the sobbing that was heard. She is eager to help investigate the mystery, and Roxanne is relieved to have her join. When the three arrive at the museum, they are surprised to see that the lights are already on. Phoebe notes that her feet are feeling cold, and Roxanne notices anIcy Rock on the floor beside her. As the group wonders what it is doing there, they begin to hear someone sobbing and leave to follow the sound.

The three find aPreschooler crying next to a couch. When Lenora asks her what is wrong, she tells them that she was playing hide-and-seek but got lost. Lenora tries to bring her outside, but the Preschooler tells her that her friends are still in the museum. She asks the three to help find them. As they prepare to keep looking, Phoebe is silent.

As they walk through the museum, Roxanne enthuses over an exhibition of rock formations, and Phoebe notes that her eyes are "sparkling." Roxanne explains that she is no longer afraid of the mysterious sobbing noise, and is happy to look at the stones in the museum. Phoebe walks off to another exhibit, where there is a coffin and a slab. Right as she and Roxanne wonder what the two are doing inside of a museum of geology, the objects suddenly spring to life. Roxanne wonders if the museum really is haunted, but Lenora points out that the two objects are Pokémon.

Lenora identifies the coffin asCofagrigus and Roxanne realizes that the slab isRunerigus, a Pokémon she had learned about fromTrainers from theGalarregion. Roxanne wonders if the two arewild Pokémon who were brought in after being mixed up with the artifacts. When Lenora suggests exiting the museum in order to avoid a battle that could be harmful to the exhibits, the Preschooler suddenly runs up to the two Pokémon. From their happy expressions, Phoebe realizes that the Pokémon are friends with the Preschooler. The Preschooler reveals that the Pokémon have wanted to becomesync pairs since they came toPasio. She tells the group that she cannot be their Trainer, and asks if they would like to partner up with them. Phoebe agrees, causing Cofagrigus to cry out in joy. Roxanne is alarmed by the noise, and Lenora points out that Runerigus seems to like her. Roxanne pauses to look at Runerigus. When she realizes that its body seems to be made of stone and clay, she realizes the two of them will get along with no problem. Lenora determines the mystery to be solved and suggests for the group to go home.

Around the city, Trainers dressed in their fall costumes celebrate the Midnight Parade. Lenora, Roxanne, Phoebe, and the Preschooler exit the museum with Runerigus and Cofagrigus. They celebrate making new friends and being able to open the museum to the public. Roxanne tries to ask the Preschooler about the two Pokémon, but finds that she has vanished. As Roxanne and Lenora look for her, Phoebe stands in place with a knowing smile on her face. She turns to Runerigus and Cofagrigus, understanding that the Preschooler had brought them to Pasio from far away and was worried about them. Facing the camera, Phoebe wishes the Preschooler a good night, telling her that her friends are safe.

Later by the fountain, Phoebe and Roxanne speak toEmma andLooker, who are intrigued by the mystery at the museum. Looker commends the two for solving the mystery, and Roxanne gives credit to Phoebe and her power. Emma notes that she and Looker have solved a case in the past thanks toMimi's power. Impressed, Roxanne turns to Mimi and asks if it knows what she is hiding. Mimi uses its powers to communicate with Emma, who tells Roxanne that Mimi detects something inside of her pocket. Roxanne is impressed, revealing that she had broughtPewter Crunchies to share with everyone. Looker silently admires Roxanne and Phoebe for solving the case with their "kind hearts," and Roxanne calls on him to eat with them.

At the ruins, Lenora, Roxanne,Steven, andRoark admire Runerigus. Steven mentions a theory that Runerigus is a remnant of an ancient structure. Roxanne is fascinated and asks Lenora if she has come across any documentation of ruins similar to Runerigus. Lenora says that she has not, andCynthia suddenly appears to ask if they should examine Runerigus from an archeological perspective. The group is shocked to see her, but she does not elaborate on when she arrived. Instead, she explains that Runerigus are rumored to show "horrifying memories" to anyone who touches them. She suggests touching Roxanne's Runerigus to figure out how old its clay tablets are, and Steven is impressed by her bravery. The group continues to discuss Runerigus throughout the night.

Back at the museum, Phoebe asksShauntal about Cofagrigus. Shauntal explains that Cofagrigus is the Coffin Pokémon, and that coffins were a symbol of wealth in ancient times. She goes on to explain that Cofagrigus as a species like to eat gold, and Phoebe notes how expensive it would be to feed them. Shauntal explains that only a king would be able to give them what they want. She then asks what her Cofagrigus has been looking at while they were talking. Phoebe turns to it, and seeing that it is staring at Lear's gold statue, tells Shauntal that it wants to eat it. Phoebe ponders asking Lear for the statue, and Shauntal is pleased to see how close she and her new Cofagrigus have become.

RoxanneThe sound of sobbing... Quite unusual, isn't it?
RoxanneWe must explain the sounds of sobbing heard in the museum at night...
A lost visitor? No, no, that's not possible...
PhoebeAhahaha! You could actually be right?
After all, it's not just people that get lost!

(Museum; Roxanne appears wearing her fall outfit, and Lenora walks up behind her)
LenoraWe're almost ready to open the museum!
RoxanneWe have fine art, historic artifacts, geological specimens... I can't wait for the grand opening!
LearOf course! This is MY collection, after all.
This exhibition will also feature valuable items just excavated from a certain archeological site!
Both of you are experts in fossils and history. I don't think you'll have any problem managing the exhibits, will you?
LenoraOf course not! I'm the director of a museum, after all. Leave management to me!
LearUnfortunately, there's a different kind of problem we need to resolve.
RoxanneA problem?
LearAfter the exhibits were brought into the museum, a rumor started circulating that you can hear the sound of sobbing there at night.
LenoraReally? That's kind of spooky.
LearA security guard actually heard the crying, so perhaps there's an object among the exhibits that's haunted...
If we can't guarantee the safety of our visitors, we may have to cancel the exhibition.
RoxanneOh no! But that'd be such a waste of these wonderful exhibits!
LearSo, I want the two of you to help me identify what's causing this strange phenomenon.
RoxanneUnderstood! We'll figure out what's going on!
LenoraSure, I'll help as well. I'd feel sorry for the exhibits if they were just put away without anyone enjoying them.
LearI'll leave it to the two of you, then!

(City, decorated for the holiday)
Roxanne and Lenora waited until nightfall and met just before the strange phenomenon was rumored to occur. And then...
(Phoebe appears, wearing her fall outfit, and waves to Roxanne)
PhoebeGood evening, Roxanne!
RoxannePhoebe? What brings you here?
LenoraOh, she showed up when I was waiting for you.
PhoebeRecently, I've been getting this feeling that someone's calling out to me.
It was coming from the museum, so I thought I could come inside and figure out who it was.
RoxanneYou're friends with Ghost-type Pokémon, aren't you, Phoebe?
LenoraMaybe that feeling you had is connected to our strange phenomenon somehow.
Phoebe"Strange phenomenon"?
RoxanneYes, you see...
(Fade to black; fade back to the city)
PhoebeThe sound of sobbing, huh...
Ahaha! Then we better get going and check inside!
LenoraIt's great to have a Ghost-type expert helping us!
I'm getting excited, too!
RoxanneY-you both have nerves of steel...
Anyway, if Phoebe is with us, I'll feel safe no matter what we encounter!
(Museum; Roxanne, Phoebe, and Lenora are looking around)
RoxanneThat's strange... There shouldn't be anyone here right now, but the lights are on.
PhoebeIt feels a little chilly around my feet...
RoxanneWhat?! Your feet?
(Something sparkles near Phoebe's feet)
RoxanneWait, is that an Icy Rock?!
LenoraIt's a stone you give to Pokémon, right?
RoxanneExactly. You'd usually give it to Pokémon that can make it snow.
You'd give a Heat Rock to Pokémon that control sunlight, and a Damp Rock to Pokémon that control rain.
PhoebeAhahaha! You know a lot, Roxanne!
LenoraBut I wonder why there's one on the floor.
PhoebeMaybe someone touched the display?
RoxanneDo you think there's...a thief?
Then again, none of our exhibits have been stolen, so probably not.
???*sniffle* *sob*
PhoebeHmm? Did you hear that?
RoxanneHuh?! Wh-what is that?!
PhoebeJust as I thought! It's coming from over there!
RoxanneWhoa! R-really?
LenoraI don't think we're imagining things.
(Roxanne, Phoebe, and Lenora head off to investigate)

PhoebeErm... Ah, look! There she is!
(Phoebe points to a Preschooler crying by a couch)
Preschooler*sniffle* *sob*
RoxanneWhat is she doing here?
(The little girl continues to sob; Roxanne, Phoebe, and Lenora approach her)
LenoraWhat's the matter, little one? Come now, you can tell us.
PreschoolerI was playing hide-and-seek, but this place is big and I got lost...
RoxanneOh dear...
You're safe now. Well done for being so brave.
LenoraSo there was nothing scary happening here after all.
Phoebe... ... ...
LenoraNow then, let's take her outside.
PreschoolerWait... My friends are still inside.
Please help them too!
RoxanneOK, let's go find them!
Do you have any idea where they might be?
PreschoolerNo, I don't...
RoxanneI see... Well, come with us for now so you don't get lost again!
PreschoolerOK!
Phoebe... ... ...
(Transition to another part of the museum)
RoxanneThis exhibition area has geological formations and rock excavations from various regions!
PhoebeYour eyes are sparkling, Roxanne.
RoxanneWell, I don't need to be afraid of the strange phenomenon anymore!
Oh, and this is a geological sample collected from Mt. Moon in Kanto!
There are many old strata in that area—you can even find Pokémon fossils!
PreschoolerWow! You know a lot about stones!
RoxanneI do! I have an acquaintance who is a rock maniac, but I'm no different!
PhoebeWow...
(Phoebe notices another exhibit and walks over to it)
PhoebeThen what about these? They look like a coffin and a slab. I guess they don't have any association with geology...
RoxanneHmm?
Maybe they're from an ancient excavation?
(The coffin and slab suddenly come to life and cry out)
RoxanneEeeek!
Th-they moved?! Maybe there really was a haunted—
LenoraHang on a minute!
Aren't they Pokémon?


  • They're OK Now

LenoraThat's Cofagrigus?! And the other one is...
RoxanneRunerigus! I've heard about them from Galar Trainers.
Maybe these wild Pokémon got mixed up with the objects we're putting on display and brought here by accident.
LenoraYikes... If we battle here, our exhibits might get damaged. We probably should escape for now...
RoxanneBut...
PhoebeEveryone, calm down. We don't need to panic.
RoxanneWhat do you mean?
(The Preschooler runs over to the two Pokémon)
PreschoolerHey! There you are!
RoxanneWhat?
PhoebeCofagrigus and Runerigus are her friends.
RoxanneWh-whaaat?!
PhoebeSee? Both of them look happy! They're excited to see her again!
PreschoolerThese two are really nice Pokémon! They play games with me!
LenoraSo, are they your Pokémon?
PreschoolerNo, but...
They wanna to become "sync pairs" and have lots of battles!
They felt that way after coming to this island!
But I can't be their partner...
Can you be "sync pairs" with them?
PhoebeYup, I'd be happy to!
(Cofagrigus cries out)
RoxanneEeeek!
LenoraAhaha! It seems like she likes you!
PhoebeDon't be scared, Roxanne. Look closely at her.
RoxanneErm...
Her body looks like clay, or even stone. That's a very unusual composition!
Sure! I think we'll get along!
PhoebeAhahaha! Of course you'd notice that, Roxanne!
LenoraAnyway, case closed! Let's all go home now!
(Transition to the town, where Helena is talking to Naomi and Mitch;
Iris, Allister, and Acerola chat in their fall outfits; Morty, Caitlin, and Hilbert chat in their fall outfits;
Roxanne, Phoebe, Lenora, and the Preschooler walk up with Runerigus and Cofagrigus behind them)
RoxanneWe were able to find out the truth behind the strange phenomenon!
Now we should be able to open the museum as planned!
PhoebeYeah! All these great things happened, and we even made new friends!
RoxanneLet's learn more about Runerigus and Cofagrigus!
I know! Could you tell us what kind of games you played with Runerigus—
(Roxanne looks over at the Preschooler, but she's gone)
RoxanneOh? Where did that girl go?
LenoraHmm? She was there a minute ago...
(Roxanne and Lenora look around for the girl, but Phoebe stays put)
PhoebeYeah, I know...
(Phoebe turns to Runerigus and Cofagrigus)
PhoebeShe was worried about the two of you because you were brought here from somewhere far away, right?
(The Pokémon cry out; Phoebe turns around and approaches the camera)
PhoebeGood night. Your friends are OK now.
(The camera flies up and fades to white as Phoebe waves)


  • The Power to Solve a Mystery
NameText
(Fountain square, decorated for the holiday)
LookerHmm, a nighttime mystery at the museum...
Great job solving such a peculiar case!
RoxanneIt's all thanks to Phoebe and her mysterious power...or, I should say, her "special sense."
EmmaWe solved a past case with Mimi's mysterious power, too!
(Mimi cries out)
RoxanneWow, is that so? Then Mimi...
can you guess what I'm hiding?
(Mimi cries out and sends a telepathic message to Emma)
EmmaHmm... Mimi says there's something in your pocket!
RoxanneImpressive!
You found the Pewter Crunchies I was hiding!
*giggle* I brought them so we could eat them together!
PhoebeAhahaha! Well done, Mimi! I had no clue!
LookerHahaha! Mimi must've read Roxanne's mind!
(Roxanne, Phoebe... You don't need to have special powers to solve a case.)
(Whether it's big or small, what you need is a kind heart, just like the two of you have.)
RoxanneCome on, Looker! Let's eat!


  • The Adventurers' Curiosity
NameText
(Ruins)
LenoraI must say...the more we look at Runerigus, the more captivating she becomes.
RoxanneEven though Runerigus began as an ancient painting, the pattern on her body is unique.
RoarkThe slab looks like stone, but it's actually made of clay, right?
StevenApparently so.
Minerals are the main components of clay, so you could say it's technically stone. How fascinating...
There's even a possibility Runerigus was once part of an ancient structure—that she, herself, is an archaeological remnant.
Roxanne"Part of an ancient structure"?! That's extraordinary!
Have you come across any ruins in your documents that have a similar composition to Runerigus, Lenora?
LenoraI don't think we have any documents like that in my museum.
(Runerigus cries out)
CynthiaSo, do we need to look at this from an archeological perspective?
(Everyone turns to look at Cynthia, shocked)
RoxanneCynthia?! When did you get here?
CynthiaIt's said that Runerigus shows horrifying memories to those who touch it.
We might be able to find out how old the clay tablets are if we touch her.
StevenHow very adventurous! You're certainly not afraid to take risks!
That's definitely a method to consider when researching Runerigus.
And so, their discussion continued until late at night...


  • A Royal Treat
NameText
(Museum)
PhoebeShauntal, Cofagrigus is one of your Pokémon too, isn't it?
Can you teach me about Cofagrigus?
ShauntalOf course!
Cofagrigus is the Coffin Pokémon.
Coffins or tombs from ancient times symbolized a king's wealth.
PhoebeOh, does that mean I look rich?
ShauntalHehehe, maybe!
But there's actually another reason why Cofagrigus are said to be symbols of wealth.
Cofagrigus love to eat gold, especially if it's pure!
PhoebeWow! That must be expensive!
ShauntalWell, it'd be nice if we could give Cofagrigus what they want to eat every day...
But unfortunately, only a king could do that.
PhoebeA king...
ShauntalBy the way, what's your Cofagrigus been looking at this whole time?
(Phoebe turns around and looks at Cofagrigus)
PhoebeAhahaha! I know!
ShauntalHmm?
PhoebeShe's looking at that gold statue and thinking it looks yummy!
ShauntalThat's...Lear's statue.
I guess it's made of pure gold. It must be so different, being actual royalty...
PhoebeDo you want me to ask Lear if he'll give us this statue, Cofagrigus?
(Cofagrigus cries out happily)
ShauntalHehe, you two are already close friends.
I'd love to hear stories about the two of you some day.
