The trio traveled through fields, mountains and seas until they arrived in [[Kitakami]] to finally do what they were tasked for. They found a man and an [[Ogerpon (game)|ogre]] who were becoming famous around the region due to the masks the trio was ordered to retrieve. Munkidori managed to track down where the duo lived and then, Okidogi and Fezandipiti snuck into the [[Dreaded Den|the den]] they resided in while two were absent, however, as they managed to steal the masks, the man returned to the cave. The man quickly attacked and after a brief struggle, Okidogi and Fezandipiti managed to leave with just three: the [[Wellspring Mask]], the [[Hearthflame Mask]], and the [[Cornerstone Mask]], as the man managed to hold onto the remaining [[Teal Mask]], while left heavily injured.

Additionally, the Loyal Three appear to share a thematic tie to the number eight. This may be because the character ''8'' looks like a set of chains. Eight is also considered a lucky number in many Asian cultures, including Japanese, which aligns with the trio's naming convention and role. Notably, there are eight complete chains worn by the three: Okidogi has three in its scarf, Munkidori has one in its headband, and Fezandipiti has four in its belt. The group's shared base HP stat of 88 can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for やばい ''yabai'', which can mean "terrible" or "dangerous", referencing their true nature as greedy, vicious thieves. Conversely, 88 can also be read as goroawase for ぱちぱち ''pachipachi'', the sound of clapping. This could reference the trio's misinterpreted role as heroes in their story. {{ga|Pecharunt}}, often viewed as the leader of the Loyal Three, also shares the same base HP stat of 88; all of its other stats are 88 as well, except for it's Defense, which is 160, a multiple of 8. Pecharunt is also caught at [[level]] 88.
