King Pescoro makes his debut appearance in the special "Song of the Sirenas". He appears when Marzel and Marisa arrive in the Sirenas' Palace, Pescoro confronts Marisa about how she was spotted near a human ship. Marisa confirms this and tells her father that she thinks it is time they tell the humans that they have changed.

When Marisa and Marzel then take Elena to met him for help against Shuriki. Pescoro refuses and tells them about how after the attacks stopped humans thought they were kidnapping Marisa after she used her ability to turn her tail into legs for the first time. He also states that this convinced him that humans will always hate Sirenas for the attacks on their ships and forbade all contacts with humans. Elena tells him now's their chance to show humans those days are over. Marisa agrees and goes with her.
When Prince Marzel notifies Pescoro and Camila that Marisa was in danger, He was convinced and the rest of the Sirenas to come to Elena's aid with intercepting Cristobal's yacht into the sea wall of the palace. After Elena defeats Shuriki for good, she has Cristobal locked up for his treason and forges a new alliance with the Sirenas.
In "The Tides of Change", Elena convinces Pescoro and Camila to agree to a peace treaty signing to officially signal the new friendship between the Sirenas and humans. However, Captain Daria has other ideas, and called upon Saloso and his Malandros to disrupt the ceremony, but only under the condition she turned off the coral alarms that protected Coronado from the Malandros. Though Saloso keeps his end of the bargain and disrupts the ceremony by having a Malandro disguise itself as a Sirena to convince the humans that the Sirenas were still dangerous, when Pescoro and her family return to Coronado, Saloso captures them, revealing he destroyed the coral alarms as well so his Malandros can now rule Coronado. However, Marisa escapes and warns Elena, and with Gabe and Mateo's support, Elena returns to Coronado to repair the coral alarms. Though the Malandros try to intervene, Elena succeeds, and the Malandros are forced to retreat, unable to bear the coral alarms' ringing, swearing revenge as Saloso is the last to flee. With Coronado safe and Daria forgiven for her part in disrupting the ceremony and trusting the Malandros, Pescoro and Camila sign the treaty and a new friendship is formed between the Sirenas and Avalor's human populance.
