When Sophocles finds out that his family has to move, he keeps it to himself because he doesn’t want his friends to be sad—but eventually he has to tell them. Kiawe and Lana take Sophocles to their favorite places in Alola, Mallow plans a goodbye dinner, and Ash arrives with a special gift: a Charjabug for Sophocles to catch!
In the end, Sophocles doesn’t have to leave after all—his family is just moving to a nearby rental for a week while their house is repaired. He’s reluctant to share the good news after his friends made such a fuss, but everyone is delighted that they can stay together!
