The Rising Volteccers meet Sohdayo, a former team member, to gather information about Entei. However, Mory is irritated by his presence due to their past history and Sohdayo's tendency to make false claims. While waiting at an oasis, the group encounters a Rikikirin and is attacked until Sohdayo arrives. Later, Sohdayo begins telling exaggerated tales about the team members. Back at the oasis, the group resolves a territorial conflict between the Rikikirin and a Cuespatra by restoring water to the oasis. Sohdayo finally confirms that Entei was spotted in Asagi City, prompting the team to set course for Johto.
