I'm planning on exploring, we have Nixie now she can interview some water mons.

47 Azure Water Tower exterior

You dive into the Silverbay Coast and head toward the luxurious Azure Waters Tower.

Down here, even the area around the aquatic apartment building is kept pristine, clean, and devoid of any unsightly refuse or debris. At first, you never would have thought there would be underwater landscaping, but it was totally done here and instead of looking like a shabby underwater reef, it looks more like a luxurious aquarium for very lucky and spoiled fish.

As you can tell from a first glance, the gleaming white apartment building may be smaller than most others in Silvercoal City, but it's luxurious and as you imagine, immensely expensive. Regardless, as you can see, this is a beautiful paradise for water Pokémon and if they have the money for it, they would definitely love it.

As you paddle and swim around the exterior of the building, you don't really see too much that would cause any alarm. However, when you get to the back of the building, it seems there are very beautiful aquatic ornaments that gleam and shine from the slight rays of sunshine that reach the ocean floor.

One object you see that could be mistaken for one of these ornaments seems to be broken at a first glance. It seems unusual, but you paddle down to take a closer look only to discover it isn't an ornament at all. Instead, when you pick it up, you realize it's not attached to anything and seems like it's something the landscapers or groundskeeper must have missed or haven't discovered yet. As you can see, it seems to be a broken charm of sorts, which seems unusual down here.

As you take a closer look, the charm seems to be a clear gem that's about half opaque. You can feel a sense of empowerment in it, but you have a sense this power has been greatly diminished with the charm broken like this. You decide to take it with you to see if you can find the rest of it and see if there's some way to put it back together.

Item [Shattered Charm Half 1/2] has been added to the Team Inventory.

After doing one last check around, it doesn't seem like anything else around here catches your eye, so you decide to head back up to the surface.

[Caite-chan]

I stumble back rubbing my face trying to make the pain go away. I felt the touch of another and after a few more minutes I blinked a couple of times.

"I thank you for the aid. It happened so fast it's a bit of a blur right now. If I can return the favor in some way....let me know."

I go to leave only to stop and look back.

"Sitting still isn't best so I'm off to search more if you'd like to come along..."

I go to leave only to stop and look back.

"Sitting still isn't best so I'm off to search more if you'd like to come along..."

Search: (72) Electrical Substation (Abandoned)

You step onto the massive property which used to be responsible for Silvercoal City's electricity distribution. There are transformers, wires and structures all around, and at the far end, there is a large building. You elect to search the building first, so you hover across the dying grass and between much electrical equipment. You can tell by the state of everything around you that the station was abandoned long ago, before technology advanced enough for the current electrical distribution system.

As you approach the old-fashioned building, a few out-of-place boulders catch your eye. You wonder if it's of any significance, but ignore it for now, as scouring the building is your priority. As you scale the building, however, you find nothing. Most of the building's floors and ceilings have collapsed, and there are no functional computer networks for you to slide yourself digitally into. After finding nothing, you elect to slip out of the structure and focus on those boulders you caught sight of.

The closer you get to the boulders, the more out of place they seem. You note that the back half of the property, behind where the building rests, is surrounded by a rise in the land. It isn't too steep, but it does sit at a level above the top of the building. However, the boulders are placed nowhere near the cliff side, and you're sure that someone put them there intentionally.

You hover closer, but come to the conclusion that there's no way you'll be able to break them. It looks like a Steel type or a Fighting type could break it, which you keep in mind to tell your teammates. You can feel something odd when you're around those boulders, and you can't help but speculate that there's a trapdoor underneath them, or something else leading somewhere important. Whoever tried to conceal whatever lies deep into the ground, they didn't do a very good job by arming it only with two breakable boulders. Nevertheless, this only makes it easier for you.

Object {Obscuring Boulders: +Fighting-type+ / +Steel-type+} has been noted in the Team Records.

You take one last look to make sure there aren't any other ways in, and when you're satisfied that there aren't, you leave the area.

[Scytherwolf]

Guess I'll do an interview this time around. I'll ask Jerome the Scizor if he knows about anything strange going on.

[Morzone]

Alright, let's do some talking.

I'll interview 121 Nairek the Maractus, I don't think I'll mention philter directly though, just to be safe.

Interview Rapport: POSITIVE, INTIMIDATING

Intimidation +1 Interviewee weak to Poison

You approach Nairek while she's out at the Superplex Shopping Center West. She's alone, and her green arms are lined from shoulder to wrist with shopping bag handles. It becomes clear to you that they are not groceries she's got in those bags; she has just gone on a shopping spree. From this, you gather that she has money to blow. Her handbag, which looks extremely expensive, has a tacky key ring attached with words reading "Mustle's girl."

You introduce yourself, and she seems taken aback by your appearance. She looks puzzled and little disgusted.

"Can you not stand so close?" she questions, completely perplexed as to why you have approached her. You enquire about the Stalkers, and she just increases her bewildered and agitated expression. "What the frick would I know about those psychopaths? I don't know about you, but I don't look into the paranormal. I'm just not into that sort of nonsense." She looks rather unfazed by the subject, but you attribute that to a lack of interest.

She narrows her eyes at you, clearly viewing you as some kind of threat and is highly offended by your presence. "What are you, some kind of cop? Here to search me?" She drops the bags all at once, and as they slump to the ground, you hear a few things rustle around and clink together. She looks hugely inconvenienced and coats her face with a thick layer of annoyance. "Go on. Search me. I have nothing to hide, you nosy little Roserade."

When you make no move to touch her, she emits a noise signalling her expectation and runs her eyes over you again. "That's what I thought. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to return home to my handsome, rich and successful mate at our luxury apartment." She looks you up and down, almost hoping for a negative reaction to her overt boasting. She then scoops up all of the shopping bags and inclines her head while walking off as if she's looking down on everyone she passes.

Hmm, I'll go ahead and interview 63. Rabukan the Druddigon. Maybe I can pick up some new information.

Interview Rapport: POSITIVE, INTIMIDATING
+1 Shared type (Dragon)
Intimidation +1 Interviewee weak to Fairy

Rabukan is at the fire station when you manage to locate her, which you soon find out is her workplace. Her superior, a Muk who enthusiastically welcomed you to the station, retrieved her for you when you asked to see her. When she emerges from the firehouse, she grows a diplomatic smile and immediately shakes your wing in a friendly gesture.

"Welcome to Silvercoal's fire station! I'm Rabukan, as it seems you know, and that was Krum." She gestured behind her to the Poison type slinking away. "He's a good guy, but sometimes he's a bit too vigorous. It can be draining at Four A.M., but that's a firefighter's life! Anyway, what can I do for you?"

You explain who you are and what your mission in Silvercoal City is. She seems intrigued by you and your goal, and she nods her head with interest. "Well, people sure have been acting more paranoid since those Stalkers cropped up. I've been spending a bit more time indoors... I hear they have a higher chance to get you if you're wandering about a night. But a few Pokémon have been killed in their homes, so...I guess I have to be careful regardless of where I am at night. I haven't heard of a Stalker killing during the day...which is interesting, because, well...don't you think nocturnal Pokémon have a good chance of being Stalkers?" She brings her voice down to a whisper. "Think about it! They can see in the dark, they're fully awake... It would make sense, if you ask me. But that's just my opinion."

"Oh, and there's something else. I was visiting my friend Enassik, who works at the Anchor Broadcasting Tower a bit up north, and she mentioned that she found a key up in Topwire Broadcasting. She's a radio host for Baycircle, that radio station, so she doesn't normally go up that high. She said she was going to pick it up and return it to its owner, but...she said it had bad aura. It was all covered in mangled plants or something, which reminds me of that Stalker who leaves their victims with vines coming out of them. Pretty creepy stuff."

She gave a bit of a shrug. "There's nothing here at the firehouse, as you can see. I'd recommend looking for that key, personally. If you decide to go, good luck! I've got to get back to work so I'll see you around, Ciel."

Rabukan heads back into the firehouse, throwing you a single wave goodbye.
