The fog began to lift, revealing the forest in its tranquil state.

As the mist dissipated, the Slime Gluttonia cautiously emerged from their hiding spots.

Slime Gluttonia #1: Is it finally over?

Arceus: Oh, you're still here? I thought you'd have fled by now.

Slime Gluttonia #2: How can we escape when our families are still trapped in the forest?

Several other Slime Gluttonia tackled #2 to the ground.

Slime Gluttonia #3: Quiet! They don't need to know that!

Arceus: Your families? Is that why you attacked the village?

Slime Gluttonia #2: Uhh... yeah...

Arceus: Oh, thank goodness!

Slime Gluttonias: Huh?

Arceus: For a moment there, I thought I was going to have to kill you all! Laughs

Slime Gluttonias: (They came here to kill us?!)

Arceus: Laughing

Slime Gluttonias: WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT?!

Arceus: Okay, okay! Show me where your families are.

Slime Gluttonias: Huh?

Rotom: Sigh They really are slow.

Arceus: You heard me. Show me where the spirit kept your families.

Slime Gluttonia #4: B-But why? Why help us?

Arceus: I just risked my life for you all. Why wouldn't I help you now?

The injured Slime Gluttonia and a small one slithered out from behind the others.

Arceus: Oh hey! It's you! The slime I saved earlier.

Injured Slime Gluttonia: Can you really save our families?

Arceus: Of course I can! I wouldn't be offering if I couldn't.

Small Slime Gluttonia: So, you can find them! Really?!

Arceus: Find... them?

Injured Slime Gluttonia: You see, when the Fog Spirit became our master, he kidnapped our families as leverage.

Arceus: Oh... I see... (Rotom, can you find them?)

Rotom: Already on it.

...

Rotom: Found them! They are 80 miles east from here!

Arceus: (Thanks.) Found them.

Injured Slime Gluttonia: Y-You did?!

Arceus: Uh-huh. 80 miles east from here. You can't miss them.

Slime Gluttonias: Which way is east?

Rotom + Arceus: (Oh come on!)

Arceus: *Sigh* okay then. Follow me, everyone! We'll get your families back!

The Slime Gluttonias, hesitant but hopeful, began to follow Arceus and Rotom through the dense forest. The journey was long, and the terrain was rough, but Arceus led the way with unwavering determination.

Rotom: You know, Arceus, the villagers of Misfit village may begin to worry if you don't return soon. Are you sure about this?

Arceus: Absolutely. They need our help, and we're going to give it to them.
