After leaving the Solaceon Ruins, they are now heading to Sludge Mound to find Calaba. On the way, they arrive at Scarlet Bog, where they find Hippopotas and Hippowdon resting in the mud.
"Why is that Hippowdon fully black when the others are yellow and black at the same time?" Serena asks in confusion.
"That's the female Hippowdon, and those yellow ones are male." Ash says. "And we don't want to get hit by those Pokemon's Yawn attack."
They decide to capture Hippopotas by feeding it with berries and then capture it without being spotted, and for Hippowdon, they change into stunning the alpha one and catch it.

Hisui Dex Entry No.107 Hippopotas: The Hippo Pokemon: Ground-type. Though large and languid, Hippopotas is difficult to detect due to its tendency to burrow into and lurk beneath the soil. When agitated or excited, it expels sand from its nostrils.
Hisui Dex Entry No.108 Hippowdon: The Heavy Weight Pokemon: Ground-type. Evolve from Hippopotas at LV:34. Short-tempered and easily moved to violence. It whips up whirlwinds of sand to crush its foes' spirits, then goes in for the attack.
"But this place sure is like what the name implies, the bog here sure is red..." Serena says as she looks around.
"Yeah. And to think of it, this place is also smelly..." Ash says. "Perhaps because of the Stunky and Skuntank?"
They decide to also capture the Stunky and alpha Stuntank in the area, by throwing Mud Balls at them to make them stunned and capture them.

After quickly leaving the area, they finally arrive at Sludge Mound, which is filled with Geodudes and Gravelers. Calaba is already there as she says, "Over here, Ash and Serena."
