At the end of the episode, Spinel set up a trap for Liko and used his Beheeyem to put her in a trance while stealing her pendant.
In Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?, Dot enlisted 's help in finding Liko, who had temporarily forgotten about the Rising Volt Tacklers due to Spinel's Beheeyem. With Iono's help, Liko was quickly found by the citizens of Levincia, allowing Roy and Dot to reunite with her, by which time she had recovered her memories. As they reunited with Friede and realized Liko's pendant was gone, they set out to get it back. In the next episode, Liko, Roy, and Dot confronted Spinel aboard a cargo ship leaving Levincia and managed to get the pendant back.

===Pokémon Adventures===
========
Levincia first appeared in PASV11, where and Nemona arrived there following an invitation from Scarlet's client. While waiting to meet the client, Nemona was able to convince Scarlet to take on the Levincia Gym and don a disguise to avoid people watching Iono's live stream from recognizing her as a treasure hunter. Due to Clavell being unavailable to fulfill the role of "Mr. Walksabout" during Iono's Gym Test, his role was instead given to Uva Academy teachers Salvatore, Jacq, and Raifort. After passing the test, Scarlet started battling Iono, with Rika and Geeta observing the match from closeby. Scarlet eventually won the battle, though Nemona was confused as to why the battle had been much closer than Scarlet's previous Gym battles. Scarlet explained that, in exchange for a buffet meal, Iono had requested she'd give her a battle that her fans would like, which she had agreed to.
While Nemona battled Iono herself, Scarlet left to find her client, who turned out to be Raifort, Uva Academy's history teacher. Since Scarlet had found out that the treasures of ruin that Raifort had hired her to search for were actually Pokémon, Raifort explained that she wished for the Pokémon to be found and before they could potentially break free to cause chaos. Scarlet agreed on the condition that a child she knew got enrolled in the academy. Raifort agreed, but also told Scarlet that she'd need the help of 's in order to unseal the treasures of ruin. At the end of their conversation, Scarlet was contacted by Mela, who wanted her to run security for Schedar Squad's Base.
When Team Star tried to tire out with repeated battles on his way to Schedar Squad's Base, he decided to visit Levincia to don a disguise, fooling s into thinking he had given up and allowing him to make his way to the base without further obstructions.
