South Province (Area Three) first appeared in PASV07, as the location where and Arven arrived to search for the . After hearing that Nemona had been sighted in the area earlier the same day, they hurried off to find the Titan, not wanting to take the risk that she could defeat it first. They succeeded in locating the Titan , but when they tried attacking it, it escaped, using the terrain to its advantage to hide from them again and again. Figuring they needed a higher vantage point to effectively locate it, Violet told Arven to climb up a nearby watchtower. When Arven climbed up the tower, however, he was shocked to find an unconscious Nemona.
In PASV08, when Nemona regained consciousness, she revealed the reason why she had been unconscious. Earlier that day, she and had climbed the watchtower and found a , which had drained away some of Nemona's vitality. Scarlet had used Nemona's misfortune as a cover to attack Gimmighoul and collect its coins, leaving her to recover at the tower while she continued her travel to Artazon. Upon hearing that Arven and Violet were trying to take down a Titan Pokémon, Nemona eagerly joined in. Following a successful surprise attack on Klawf, the Stony Cliff Titan retreated to reenergize itself with Sweet Herba Mystica. After Klawf had been driven away, Arven used the herbs to make sandwiches for the three of them, with eating one of the sandwiches as well and gaining the ability to dash, much to Violet's delight.
