The man can't tell the Frillish apart, but told us that the woman with the Cinccinos is the one who received the book. She plays dumb, but her partners tell us that she did receive a book from the Frillish with the sharp features--the second floor Frillish. And their partner had been up on the second floor, looking down and counting something on the first floor. We confront it and it says it'll bring us a book if we "order properly". We have to figure out what it is. I count 6 umbrellas and...7 chairs? 7 yellow-striped deck chairs, but six yellow chairs of the smaller kind. We look down from where the woman was and confirm, 6 umbrellas, 7 deck chairs. We give it the order and receive the Prime Treasure Auction Catalog. I was right! Please have your ticket with you; dress code is semi-formal. The items for auction: Detective's Cape, Henry Brothers' Recipe Book, Mask of Antiquity...and exclusive buying rights to R for six months is on there, too. Hmm...Henry Brothers' Recipe Book? Wasn't Gino talking about finding their lost recipe? Going back towards the bridge, though, we cut right there and the mask's been stolen. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, Nosepass said. We learn that two crew members had been in the room. Nosepass says the ship changed direction so that Nosepass, who always faces north, couldn't see it any more, and then it was gone when it changed back. So the one in charge of steering was probably involved. Nosepass also says it was splashed by cold water when it couldn't see the mask. The one who delivered the report also noted that it was wet up there. He also says that Gino wanted to know the exact time he'd next be visiting the bridge. The one who does the steering, however, said nothing strange aside from the Pokmon next to him spilling its drink. Pikachu now suspects Gino based on the reporting crewman's testimony. Graham says Gino will be on the second floor of the deck. Ah, Snubbull was the one who spilled its drink! And it's shaking again...I suspect the mask was able to "disappear" like that because it did, in fact, belong to a Cofagrigus. Snubbull says that it wasn't its fault the drink was spilled; it saw something invisible drink the juice. Definitely a Ghost-type. Snubbull growled at it and startled it, making it drop the juice. Whatever it was briefly appeared and claimed ownership of the juice. The word "wet" keeps appearing, though, which makes me suspect a Water-type. Could it be the Frillish? They're Water/Ghost. Of course, it could have just disappeared with Acid Armor. Gino claims one of the Pokmon played a prank, splashing him with water, and he came to the second floor to dry off. He claims ignorance as to the existence of the Henry Brothers' Recipe Book. Brionne confirms that Gino was splashed by one of its balloons. It claims the balloon had been empty, but suddenly a Pokmon was inside, and Gino got splashed when that Pokmon fell into the pool. Back to suspecting a Cofagrigus. Pikachu seems to have an idea of who did this. Ah, because the invisible Pokmon came in with a crew member while it was still wet from falling into the pool. Pikachu thinks the disappearing drink is related, and that anything the invisible Pokmon puts in its mouth becomes invisible too. Okay, so maybe I'm off. We're going to consult Emilia's hand-drawn Pokdex to identify the culprit. Just as I suspect when Pikachu keeps keying on the word "invisible", it's a Kecleon we're looking for. And it'll reveal itself when it gets surprised, just like what happened with Snubbull. Summation time. Gino denies knowing Kecleon. He's confronted with the knowledge of the secret auction and the Henry Brothers' Recipe Book. But now for the auction. Emilia says she could do it, as she brought a dress for conducting the interviews, but Tim doesn't want her to go alone. Ms. Rose offers the use of her husband's jacket, and even has a bow tie for Pikachu. The bouncers let them in, and he's told to "put these on once you're inside". Masks! Of course there are masks.
