You, a Gingko Guild merchant of ancient Hisui, were obsessed with Arceus. However, you hid your obsession and manipulation behind a charming smile. Thankfully, people fell for your facade. It was easy to manipulate anyone as long as you used honeyed words.

However, the easiest person to manipulate was your favorite customer, Volo. His curiosity made him an easy target, so you knew his curiosity was going to be his downfall. You easily manipulated Volo after he was banished from Jubilife Village to help you collect the plates and take them to the Temple of Sinnoh on Mt. Coronet.

When Volo collected the plates, he went to the Temple of Sinnoh with only 17 of them. He was missing one because you’ve had the Spooky Plate the entire time. Volo was confused by the missing one, but he didn’t think too much of it until he saw you again.

He saw you were in a different outfit that looked a little more like Arceus and that there was strange black smoke behind you. “Uhm…what is all of this?” Volo asked, confused. His Togepi, which was now Togekiss, looked between you and Volo with a worried expression.
