'''Mochi Mayhem''' (Japanese: '''キビキビパニック''' ''Kibi-Kibi Panic'') is the epilogue of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. It was present in the game since the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], but was initially inaccessible. It was officially announced on December 20, 2023<ref>https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1737473659206271074?t=jISQi-Rd2YGn1dOaFFqkJw&s=08</ref> and made available on January 11, 2024 via an indefinite [[List of other event distributions (Generation IX)#Mythical Pecha Berry|event distribution]]. It is only accessible after the player has participated in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]] at least once and completed the plot of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero by catching {{p|Terapagos}}, though the [[Mystery Gift]] may be claimed at any time.

It begins when the player interacts with the decoration on the desk of {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}} in [[Mossui Town]] in [[Kitakami]] with the [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] in their [[Bag]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
After interacting with a decoration at {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}}, the {{player}} receives a phone call from [[Arven]], asking if he can visit the player at [[Player's house|their house]] at [[Cabo Poco]]. During the conversation, the decoration disappears from behind the player's back. Upon returning home, the player meets Arven, along with [[Nemona]] and [[Penny]], who had overheard his phone call and insisted on coming along. The player's {{pal|Mom}} gives the player a letter from [[Kieran]], informing them that he's taking a break from [[Blueberry Academy]] and is currently residing at his home in [[Mossui Town]]. The letter also includes tickets for the player and their friends, who are all feeling happy about the idea of getting to visit [[Kitakami]], so they depart there immediately.

In Mossui Town, Nemona, having learned that Kieran used to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Blueberry Academy, is quick to challenge him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, and defeats him soundly before the player even has a chance to come see their match. Just then, [[Carmine]] shows up, performing a weird dance and repeating the word "mochi" over and over. Kieran explains that she's been acting like this ever since he sent his letter to the player. He suspects that his sister's odd behavior might have something to do with a curse that's rumored to be going around, but the group encourages him to stay positive. The group retreats to the Community Center for the night, but while they search for a hidden TV remote, Nemona suddenly disappears. When the player and Kieran go look for her, they find more villagers acting in the same strange way as Carmine. Spotting Nemona, they follow her to [[Kitakami Hall]], where they witness Kieran's grandfather [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] falling victim to the strange behavior as well after eating some suspicious mochi offered by his already-possessed wife.

The player and Kieran return to Mossui Town, where a small purple Pokémon also posseses Arven and Penny by firing pieces of mochi directly into their mouths. After defeating them in a [[Multi Battle]], the player and Kieran pursue the mysterious Pokémon to  [[Loyalty Plaza]], where they also find Nemona, who has also been possessed. With a horde of possessed villagers approaching them, Kieran holds them off while the player battles Nemona. Once she has been defeated, the player challenges the mysterious Pokémon, identified as the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Pecharunt}}, defeating and {{pkmn2|Caught|catching}} it. This releases everyone from Pecharunt's control, with only vague memories of what they did while possessed. After spending some more peaceful time in Kitakami, the player and their friends return to [[Paldea]], while Kieran and Carmine return to Blueberry Academy.

==Trivia==
{{Bad image|section|Needs higher resolution, direct feed screenshot of Ogerpon}}
[[File:Ogerpon VS Pecharunt Reaction.png|thumb|250px|Ogerpon's reaction to seeing Pecharunt]]
* Mochi Mayhem is the only occasion in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} in which the player has a [[Multi Battle]] against two separate opponents.
* Although it is never shown to the player in-game, all of the Pokémon owned by Aya, Shige, Yukito, and Hideko are programmed to have {{t|Poison}} as their {{Tera|Tera Type}}, likely as a reference to the effects of Pecharunt's Binding Mochi.
* In the Japanese version, the possessed shout out "Kibi kibi!" instead, referring to {{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|millet dango}} from the folktale {{wp|Momotarō}}.
* If the player uses {{ga|Ogerpon}} in the battle against Pecharunt, Ogerpon will react with anger, yelling out "GRAH! Pon PON!!!" at it, likely for what it did to Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
* If the player uses a member of the [[Loyal Three]]; {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} or {{p|Fezandipiti}}, in the battle against Pecharunt, Pecharunt will react with shock and anger, yelling out "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!" at it, likely for the betrayal as Pecharunt's retainer.
** Pecharunt will repeat this reaction every time a member of the Loyal Three is sent out for the first time by the player.
*The day that Mochi Mayhem was made publicly accessible is the same day as the annual Japanese tradition of ''mochitsuki'' (Japanese: '''餅つき''').<ref name=Mochitsuki>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231220182340/https://asahiimports.com/2014/01/04/mochitsuki-a-japanese-new-years-tradition/ Article on the history of Mochitsuki.]</ref>
* Mochi Mayhem is the only part of the [[Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] to be unlocked through a [[Mystery Gift]] item.
* Mochi Mayhem shares a number of similarities to the {{wp|dancing plague of 1518}}. They both:
** Involve a mass outbreak of spontaneous, uncontrollable dancing.
** Were started by a single woman, who were afflicted much earlier than anyone else.
** Were caused by food poisoning (Binding Mochi in the case of Mochi Mayhem, and suspected to be {{wp|ergot}} in the case of the dancing plague).
