Interview Rapport: EXTREMELY POSITIVE
+2 Shared Pokémon types (Poison and Grass)

You introduce yourself to Vam the Oddish playing outside "Dami's Flowerbed" store. He seems content playing by himself, but he sees you and he smiles. It's almost like he already recognizes you as a friend.

"Hello, Sarah!" Vam replies to you with a youthful smile. "Nice to meet you!"

As you ask him about the situation regarding Serenity Town and the Stalkers, his youthful smile seems to take a hit and his optimism fades slightly, but he tries to brush it aside and offer his help.

"Yeah... mommy said there's a lot of bad things going on," Vam nodded, familiar with what you mentioned. "The teachers at school have been giving us all kinds of warnings, not to talk to strangers, you know, that kinda stuff."

He looks away for a minute, trying to recall some of the things he's seen that seem suspicious when you ask about them.

"You know, I was playing tag in the park with Rike and Kandi yesterday," Vam recalls and tells you. "And I dunno, I thought I saw something weird going on at the... oh, what's that building's name... I think... I think it's called the Freeroam Apartment Building. Yeah, I thought I saw someone put something in the wall or something. I was about to ask them if they wanted to play, but before I got a chance to get a good look at them, they started running off."

He thinks it over some more.

"I wanted to go and check but..." Vam tells you, feeling a bit ashamed, "Mommy would have been really angry if she found out I was snooping around strange places. But she wouldn't be angry with you if you go over there! Just be really careful!"

Shortly after, Vam's mother, Dami the Bellossom, steps out and sees Vam talking to you. She quickly races over, looking very disappointed.

"Oh Vam, what did I tell you about talking to strangers!?" Dami exclaims, looking really stressed. "You can't do this, there are bad Pokémon out there doing horrible things! Please, go inside, I was hoping we wouldn't have to talk about this again!"

Vam nods, looking ashamed.

"Yes, momma, I'm sorry," Vam replies to Dami. "Sarah is pretty nice though, she just wanted to be friends."

After Vam heads inside, Dami looks to you. She's not angry with you, but the look in her eyes clues you in she's very overwhelmed and stressed.

"Listen, I'm not sure why you needed to meet with my son, Vam..." Dami tells you, "but please, I'm worried sick about what's been going on around town, and it... makes it very hard to trust anyone. I would be... devastated if something happened to him. So please, I don't mean to trouble you or stop him from making friends, but right now... it's a really bad time for everyone. I hope you understand."
