The hairs on the back of his neck stood up as he felt something odd; something actually heard him and it sure was hell wasn't the idol. [color=8882be]"Thank you for listening."[/color] Basil bowed his head to the idol, really, to whatever the heck was listening to him ramble on. 

There were two things that he wanted to do: first Basil, perhaps against his better judgement, went to approach the bug maniac to make some inquiries. Specifically, he wanted to ask about what the parasol lady said about Pinsirs being located on route 3 or at least the general area and some info about their behavior and where they would most likely congregate. 

The second thing was that Basil wanted to talk to the man with the stall outside the shrine. He simply inquired the nature of the spirits that aided the hero long ago, such as their abilities or if they had any attributes that stood out. 

If nothing of note happened, Basil would head north to explore the North Silent Forest.
