Mildred found one crisp, bright note that must have been placed there earlier today. In a barely legible scrawl, it read:

[center]Mission type: Rescue
Client: Nate the Fennekin
Location: Quake Path
Reward:  5 Geo Pebbles, Protein, $1000
Difficulty: 1
Description: My best friend,  Kate the Cyndaquil, and I went into Quake Path on a dare. There, a big Pokemon started chasing us, and we got separated! I made it out, but Kate might still be in there. Please hurry; that big Pokemon might do terrible things if it catches her![/center]

After a little searching, Mildred also found a sightly faded note behind some of the newer ones. In much neater handwriting, it read:

[center]Mission type: Retrieval
Client: Bill the Nidorino
Location: Quake Path
Reward: Heal Seed, Calcium, $1000
Difficulty: 1
Description: My son, Will the Rattata, lost his Pecha Scarf deep in Quake Path. Without that scarf, I can't hug or play with my son for fear of poisoning him with my Poison Point! Please bring his scarf back soon![/center]

[color=a187be]"These might be a little tough for a team of two beginners,"[/color] Mildred commented, pointing out both notices to Celina and Trevor. [color=a187be]"But I'm afraid they're the best we have at the moment. You can take one of these assignments if you think you're ready, or you can wait for something a little easier to come along."[/color] The Smeargle secretly hoped Team Solar Eclipse would choose to wait. That way, she would definitely have time to inform her superiors of her unsettling hunches about this team.
