‘Sorry~’ Chime said to Erika saying they should feel silly for not trusting her. ‘I could tell you my name when there’s just the two of us~’
‘Oo, almost the champion, huh,’ Yoink noted, crossing her arms. Looking like she was considering something.
Erika went on to explain about the goggles she had. And that they maybe point towards…
‘Legendary…’ Yoink stared at her in shock.
‘… Pokémon…!?’ GW finished, as so did he, too.
‘Wooow~’ Chime called in, arms raised in amazement.
There was a moment of silence as Erika went on to tell them to please not tell anyone about that.
‘Yeah, no duh!’ Yoink sounded out.
‘If anyone even slightly shady hears about that, they’re gonna waste no time at all plotting how to steal them from you…’ GW said. Hush nodded to that, definitely agreeing. Erika continued what she was saying…
‘We’re not equipped to head for Rukh’s HQ,’ Hush replied quickly. ‘If he’s got a legendary Pokémon in there, then it is likely out of our reach and in a very secure position, possibly in a Pokéball for all we know. We’re not making it past the reception without getting the entirety of the cigs on us,’ she stated plainly.
‘So, we could examine what it is you’re seeing in the north-east. In fact, if it is something that could help us, then I say it would give us a stronger case that we’re worth being invested in if we’re bringing something legendary. So I would say going north-east first.’ So the leader of the group says.
‘Right, uh. But you’re not heading there alone. Right, what’s there, you have no idea about anything…’ GW said, as he started walking towards Erika while taking something out of his bag. It was a large folded piece of paper that he unfolded and held over to Erika. It was a map.
‘Pffth, paper,’ Yoink made a noise over there. ‘Things are supposed to be technology nowadays. Keep with the times.’
‘They’re not gonna be able to send a Porygon to hack my paper map, Yoink,’ GW replied, unimpressed. He then started pointing at the map.
‘Anyway, were here, Sunset Slums. The parts ruled by the cigs are Gemstone Skylines, Brighttown Boulevard, Evergreen Avenue and Safehouse Docks, and also parts of Foxhole Foundries and Steppingstone Streets. Sunset Slums, Afterthought Abodes and Tightrope Allies… all look like this, and we’re usually not bothered here,’ he gestured at the state of Sunset Slums.
‘But if you’re saying north-east, then that’s-’ he pointed. ‘- Lovesick Lane. It’s, uh. Lots of weird people there,’ he said.
‘Lots of people who believe in fairies~’ Chime chimed in.
‘Right. Most famous for Maledy’s Menagerie, which is a circus… and the participants of the circus are one of the teams doing just like we’re doing and robbing stores, and for them it’s to distribute money to the people of Lovesick Lane,’ GW said.
‘… Which they all then spend by going back to their circus,’ Yoink looked uneasy. ‘I swear, something feels off about the people there…’
‘Just because it’s magical doesn’t mean it’s distrustful~’ Chime called happily.
‘Right,’ Hush stepped forwards to also look at the map. ‘Besides, Lovesick Lane does feel like a place where one might find something mystical.’ She then pointed at a couple more places on the map. ‘Most factories are in Foxhole Foundries, warehouses in Safehouse Docks next to the actual docks. Rukh’s HQ is there, right between Gemstone Skyline and Brighttown Boulevard. Renaud’s gym is in south-east Brighttown Boulevard, and his influence spreads over Foxhole Foundries. We met you in Steppingstone Streets, then here in Gemstone Skylines we saw the fight between Daybreak and the Clovers, where Daybreak is a team of mercenaries hired by the noble families, and the Clovers are a team from Afterthought Abodes…’
‘Hey, by the way. Whatever happened to the friends you had, back in Steppingstone Streets?’ Yoink suddenly asked.
‘Given where they were, I would assume the cigs met up with them in front of the store. They’ve likely received the other side of the story by now,’ Hush said, very simply.
What does Erika do now?
Connected areas:
Route 12. A long, peaceful plain stretching far west towards Redcoast City.
Route 13. A route of eternal night, leading east towards Worldedge City.
Route 26. The calm waters north of Bigfjord City, leading towards Ironcliff Town.

Basil asked his question and awaited his answer… then he remembered said answer. As if he knew it all along. But as further affirmation…
The vision transported him out of the facility, through the walls, and he saw the grey, not particularly noteworthy building… completely surrounded by the billowing smoke, deep within the Industrial District of Worldedge City, among the city’s many factories and warehouses. Bottom section of the southern side of the city. This would be the front entrance of the facility.
There was a second entrance, which Basil was suddenly brought past routes to be shown. In Mt. Strength, there was a secret tunnel that went down, far down, until it was no longer Mt. Strength at all. There was an underground system of tunnels, and one path there led to an elevator surrounded by a small encampment. That elevator also led to the same facility.
Regardless of the path taken, there would be guards trying to oppose any sort of intrusion. These were bad guys. However, a note of caution was requested. For there are those who support the darkness of Isson, and should too many allies be called, then the bad guys would catch wind of it before any rescue operation could take place.
There was also a request which he remembered, despite never being told. Do not tell anyone what hides here in Ancient Stillwood. For that is exactly what it is doing there… hiding. From what, it couldn’t tell.
…
Basil could suddenly blink awake, back in the forest. In front of him was Uxie, whose eyes definitely hadn’t been closed a moment ago.
Anise also stood here, and judging by her gasp she was also just shown something. Regardless.
What would Basil do now?

Erika obtained Bigfjord City Map!
