They move to faraway Nevergreen City where they plan to open a new shop, but they eventually lose all the money they saved up while getting by, presumably by 3 naughty street kids named Callie, Gertie, and Eugene.
Along the way, they encounter some of the island's inhabitants, like Cornelius the crocodile, the tiger siblings Sasha and George, and a mother rhino named Iris all while trying to evade Saiwa and his monkey army.
He then reveals that once he found out about Aratuah's death and saw how foolish and frightened Boris was, he knew everyone would drown in fear before the ocean swallowed the island.
Wanting to fix things, Elmer goes back to the island to Boris and helps him find the courage to jump into the summit's fire and inhale it.
