After the events at Oni Mountain, I make it back to Mossui Town and meet up with Carmine's grandparents at their home to prepare for the Festival of Masks at Kitakami Hall. I take on a game of Ogre Oustin', where I can get some good rewards for taking part, and encounter a mysterious Pokémon at the Festival of Masks.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

The first thing to do is check out the house, and this is where Carmine's grandparents live, and they give you a festival jinbei, and you then battle against Carmine. If you haven't beaten the main story, her team would be Level 16 to 19, but here, her team is Level 62 to 64. She leads off with Morpeko, it has a Focus Sash for its item and knows the move Lash Out, this move's power doubles when Morpeko's stats are lowered on that turn, and it has Seed Bomb to take on Ground-types. Swadloon has Sticky Web and Trailblaze, but it should be easy with a Fire-type, and her Mightyena has Fire Fang. Her final Pokémon is Sinistcha, this is what Poltchageist evolves into, Sinistcha has good Special Attack and Defense, and it knows the move Matcha Gotcha, this is an 80 power special Grass-type move which restores Sinistcha's HP based on half of the damage dealt to the target and has a 20% chance of burning the target, it is Giga Drain combined with Scald. If you haven't beaten the main story, she would have Poltchageist instead of Sinistcha, and her team doesn't hold items, Sinistcha has an Occa Berry to reduce the damage from Fire-types moves.
Then after that, time to visit Kitakami Hall, but before then, I decided to capture a Duskull at Infernal Pass, they only spawn at night, and you cannot control the time in Kitakami as the time of day is scripted, and Duskull never show up in the daytime. It is a defensive Ghost-type Pokémon that can evolve right away, but if you visit early on, Duskull will have a hard time, as Shadow Sneak is the best it can do for an attack. Its evolved form Dusclops is a great user of the Eviolite, but alternatively, you can trade it with a Reaper Cloth to evolve it into Dusknoir, which has higher Attack than Dusclops, and while it has a bit more Defense and Special Defense, Dusclops with the Eviolite outclasses Dusknoir, it is a decent Ghost-type to use. I do check the cave which has a Sandslash with a Rock Tera Type, and you can find the TM for Poltergeist, Dusknoir is a great user of the move, but it only works if the target is holding an item.
When you arrive at the Festival of Masks, you cannot ride Koraidon or Miraidon while attending, and there are a lot of stalls around there, but the main attraction is Ogre Oustin', you ride the Legendary Pokémon, but I did see that Stantler is used for the ride, but you don't ride a Stantler, you ride on your Legendary Pokémon ride. What you have to do is pop the balloons and put the berries in the basket, and Pokémon like Skwovet, Greedent, and Munchlax can eat the berries you have placed, and on higher levels, Snorlax can appear. Easy Mode has 3 stages, Normal Mode has 6 stages, and Hard Mode has 10 stages. For rewards, you can get Mochi, these are like the Vitamins which increase a Pokémon's EVs when used, and you can get the Fresh-Start Mochi, this resets a Pokémon's EVs down to zero, you can even get the rarer berries, like Enigma Berry, Custap Berry, and Kee Berry, and evolution items like Razor Fang, Reaper Cloth, and Prism Scale. For participating for the first time, you get an Exp. Charm, which increases the amount of experience Pokémon earn, for completing Normal Mode, you earn the Fairy Feather, which increases the power of Fairy-type moves by 20% when held, and if you complete Hard Mode, you get a Shiny Munchlax.
After that, we then see a mysterious creature wearing a mask, and we follow it, and it ends up dropping the mask, and despite the text box referring to the creature as Ogerpon, which you are not meant to know what it is called until the story back at Mossui Town, I don't remember if the community center receptionist had a Clefable with her on the first visit or if it happens starting from that point.
We obtain the Teal Mask and take it to Carmine's grandfather, who tells us the true story behind Ogerpon and the Loyal Three, which turns out to be different to what the people in Kitakami believe to be. Then after learning the story, Kieran is near the shop area, and the next signpost is at Paradise Barrens.
