So, Jason decided to ask the locals to learn about the village and its happenings. 

"If you're looking for fun, head towards the Entertainment District. It's at the top of the village and generally has something for everyone though if you're a trainer you'll probably like the Battle Square. Funnily enough, a wild Pokemon has been challenging and beating trainers there."

"Oh, if you're looking for information you can go to the Scholar District. There is a library and a lab where a pretty famous professor who researches the ecology of Pokemon works. It's also where the local Pokemon Breeders are located where they specifically breed a regional variant of Voltorb that went extinct in their original region a few hundred years ago. There is someone there who is interested in researching something about the Forest Deity."

"They're some Pokemon in the Agricultural District. We are mainly a self-reliant, so we grow our own crops, but every now and again Pokemon decide that they want to snack on them to the frustration of the farmers."

"The Market District doesn't really have a department store, but more like various stalls and storefronts. At the top of my head, there's a farmers' market where the local farmers sell their goods, some useful for trainers like yourself. A wacky craftsman from Frostford that will sell you some random stuff has a shop set up there. Of course, there are other stores, but half of the fun is the exploring!"

Of course, this information is all incomplete and would need to venture into the areas himself to learn more about them though this was a start.

What does he do?

King would not notice anything really strange about anything around the house other than the fact that it looked like it would keel over from a strong gust of wind. It was a wonder how this place hasn't been taken down yet given much of a safety hazard that this thing was. Even flying down, King would not have noticed that were was anything odd, save for a single magenta feather on the rotten wooden floor. The thing that King had marked had been inside, or maybe still inside.

Meanwhile with the Princess and Tristan team, they went down this oversized, dried out irrigation channel to see where in the fresh hell it could've led. They walked down for only a few minutes before Princess would stop in her tracks. It was not that she lost the scent, not really. Rather, she just looked confused as she looked around because the thing was that she could still follow King's trail. The issue was that it would've been impossible to follow the scent because it would mean having to go through solid earth. 

Princess was facing one of the walls of the channel. 

What does Tristan do?

Without a moment of hesitation, the Mimikyu slapped the button on the Pokeball and was absorbed into it. The Pokeball would begin to roll in her hand.

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!

Would you like to give a nickname to Mimikyu?[/center][/i][/color]

A few moments later after whatever celebration that Amelia may have had, she felt something... odd. Not from the Pokeball that contained from her newly acquired Mimikyu. No, in fact it was something that typically would not, should not be possible. For a split second, maybe even less, she felt an explosion of spectral energy wash over her though it seemed to be quickly cut off by something. Every hair on her body would've been standing and even Amelia, the ghost girl, would've felt chills creeping down her spine. Of course, only Amelia would be able to notice this given her unique abilities. 

What was odd about it is that Amelia's ability to sense this sort of thing had a limited range. She would have been able to gather that this was not happening anywhere in the city; such an occurrence would've actually been disastrous. If this was the case, it would mean that it was happening outside of the city and if that were the case, then it would mean that whatever this was it was powerful enough to trigger her sixth sense from a distance and as far as she knew was the only one aware of it.

For that split second, she would've been able to tell that the general direction that this energy came from between routes 1 and 4, towards Lake Charity. 

(From the DM: This is an optional dungeon. Once you enter, you cannot leave until you succeed in clearing whatever objective you find or fail. Do whatever you need to prepare if you wish to go through with it.)

[color=fff200]"Yeah, I could figure that out on my own. You didn't hide your nervousness when battling children very well."[/color] She said with a bit of a smirk in response to Faye's confession. It wasn't that hard to see when someone looked tense over battling with small children that barely had any idea what strategy was, but hey, at least she was decent enough that she could actually win. Well, that was a really low bar anyway.

Rosa just watched the interaction between Faye and her new companion, pretty amused that Mr. Hoots was actually a Mrs. Hoots. It wasn't really that surprising though. Who would expect preschoolers to properly check the sex of a Pokemon? They probably just said the first thing that came to their minds and stuck with it.  

When asked about what life is like on a ranch, Rosa just shrugged. [color=fff200]"Ehhhhh, it's fine, I guess. I tend to help out after school a bit though it's fun when we get to take care of the hatchlings. It's a bit far from here, considering we're off the beaten path, but once we get back on track it should only be a few minutes by foot."[/color] 

They were in the middle of a field after all. They would need to come back the way they came in order to get back on the route proper. Seeing as this was the case, Rosa shrugged again and said [color=fff200]"Eh, sure. Why not? We're heading back the same way anyway."[/color] 

With that, they made their way through the fields again until they were back on Route 1 proper. Eventually, they would find that the kids had indeed caught up to the Wooloo and was now safely just napping under a tree.

One of them asked, "Did you catch Mr. Hoots?"

[color=ed145b]"Oh, my brother gave me this little guy when I was selected to take part of the League. It's his Hydreigon's kid though he's a bit..."[/color] She glanced at the Deino chewing on the table before she loosened its jaw and pulled its head back. Its tongue popped out in a derpy manner as it seemed to stare into space though it was hard to tell due to its fur obscuring its eyes. 

Meanwhile the Growlithe happily received some head pats from Steph, instantly gaining its favor. When asked about where she obtained this fire puppy, Freya said,[color=ed145b]"Oh, there are some Growlithes back in the park by the Trainer's School. The park is typically used as a place to help new trainers learn how to catch Pokemon, among other things."[/color]

When asked about what people usually eat in this joint, she leaned out of her seat as if she was looking for something. [color=ed145b]"Oh, yeah, menus."[/color] Freya waved down a server who brought a really cheap looking menu that was stained in some sort of sauce and reeked of booze. 

Steph was handed a menu and really, it was standard fair pub food such as burgers and fish and chips though there was an entire section dedicated to curry, which in a way makes sense because that was Galar's favored dish and they were in a Galarian pub. Of course, the menu had a drinks section that both contained a list of beers, wines, and the like, but because they were both underaged, they were not allowed order these drinks, so they were only allowed to order only non-alcoholic drinks, including mocktails if they were so inclined. 

While Steph was looking at the menu, she'd hear a few conversations that may have been of interest to her.

"Hey, have you heard about some weird Pokemon coming out from the sewers at night?" 

"Yeah, no idea what's going on there. I wonder what the deal with that is though I'm sure as hell not exploring those sewers looking for it."

From another table, she could hear another interesting conversation. 

"I'm telling you, when I was hiking outside the city, I felt the fear of god in me. For some reason when I was heading closer to Lake Charity, every fiber in my being screamed at me to run. I've never felt this fearful in my life."

"Sounds like a you problem. Ever thought of getting a new hobby?"

"Screw you."

Before Steph could eavesdrop more, the server returned and asked, "Freya, miss. Any drinks first or are we ready to order?"
