You arrive at Marche's house and knock on her front door. It takes a little while before the Zoroark opens it, but she opens the door slowly and gently. You introduce yourself to her.

"Oh," she slightly smiles. "Hello there."

You inquire Marche about the Stalkers and explain what you're trying to do. She nods, looking a little shy, but she understands your position.

"From one dark Pokémon to another, I think you know what it feels like to have Pokémon suspect you of every bad thing in the world," Marche opens up to you. "It's not that I don't like the other Pokémon here, is just whenever something goes wrong or they suspect someone of doing something bad, it's the dark Pokémon that get accused first. I'm sure an Umbreon like you has seen plenty of it in your lifetime."

"I'm just an engineer," Marche tells you. "It's not witchcraft like some Pokémon believe. You just leverage gravity, energy, and motion to make things work, and you come up with ways to make life easier. That's all. I've never killed anyone. Why would I? You don't seem like the kind that would kill anyone either."

"I should have talked to Adis," Marche explains further. "But I waited too long and now he's gone. Instead of sitting here, keeping to myself, I should have helped him and not feel like I needed to hide myself away because of who I am and what I am. Trinka had the right idea. Everyone loves her and she was so open to being a caring and helpful Pokémon. I should have been more like that when Adis was still around. Maybe he could have trusted me, too..."

"I'm afraid I can't help right now, but I'll be on the lookout," Marche tells you. "I'm not sure if you've realized it, but there's something about the Stalkers that is triggered at night. By day, they act normal and like nothing ever happened. But at night, they're out killing other Pokémon. I haven't gotten to the rhyme or reason when they decide to strike when they do, but chances are they wait until someone is alone and vulnerable. I know because I think they were in my yard the other night, but by the time I went downstairs and headed out the back door, they had already bolted out of there and I didn't see where they had run off to. I don't know what they want with me, but I've had to tripwire and booby trap the front and back doors at night."

"Well, thanks for listening to me, Laura," Marche tells you with a smile. "Whew, I... hope I didn't ramble on too much, but you seem like such a nice, friendly Umbreon. I haven't had friends for a while and before meeting you, I didn't think it was ever going to be possible again, but you've reminded me of a feeling I've missed for a long time. Thank you so much."
