Oh, and if you know anything else about the stalkers, anything at all will be helpful.

You find Torqueal outside his workplace by the front entrance of the Calstone Medical Offices. He's enjoying a cup of coffee and the afternoon sun when he sees you arrive. You introduce yourself to him and he nods politely.

"Greetings, Fir!" Torqueal smiles to you, waving to you with his free hand. "How are you?"

You ask about the strange object that he found recently. He nods, wondering a bit about how you found out about it, but he believes due to the fact he has been talking about it with other Pokémon, word must have gotten around.

"Yes, yes, let me show it to you," he smiles, reaching into his leather messenger bag. "It's quite the fascinating thing. Never have I see anything like it."

He takes out a circular white metal plate out of his leather bad. It has a kind of glow to it that seems to radiate a kind of holy strength and it's unlike anything you've seen before. He shows it to you, and then using his hand, he draws lines in the metal, and for a moment, they appear to be engravings but shortly after, they are filled once again, like drawing lines in a jar of honey.

"It's like metallic liquid, but it's not!" Torqueal tells you admirably, drawing squiggle lines. "There were times when I drew a line and it persisted, but when I drew another one, everything faded. It's like a puzzle or something like that."

"I've spent a good few hours looking into it, but I'm still not sure what exactly it is!" Torqueal tells you with a kind of sparkle in his eyes. "It's complicated and I just don't understand how it fully works. Now, I'm only a psychiatrist, but I did have my friend Turren look into it. He's more into the scientific fields. He ran tests on the metal, but he couldn't determine what kind of alloy this was, or at least that's what he told me. That makes it even more mysterious! He thinks I'm being a bit foolish for being interested in it and he even recommended I should just put it back where I found it, but I couldn't do that. There's just something so compelling about it."

He sighs with a gentle smile, but then he looks up to you.

"This mystery is beyond me," Torqueal tells you. "I could spend a hundred years with it and never figure it out. Unfortunately, I'm too busy to keep playing with it. Maybe you could do me a favor and take it? See if you can figure it out where I couldn't. You'd actually be doing me a favor by taking it and allowing me to focus on other things!"

He hands you the circular metallic plate, and as soon as you touch it, you sense an aura of holy strength coming from it. It helps boost your morale a bit.

Item [??? Seal: <???>] has been added to the Team Inventory.

"Oh, please let me know if you find anything about it!" Torqueal smiles to you. "I would love to know what this thing is really for if you ever find it out!"

You nod, and then inquire if you've heard anything else regarding the Stalkers. Despite the grim nature of the subject matter, he nods and tries to keep a positive aura.

"Yes," he nods. "There was something I found yesterday that bothered me. I was at the north side of the Greendash Park. It's a really nice place to take a walk. Usually the kids are out playing games after school and it's a great place to buy a snack or ice cream. Lately it's been very quiet though. The vendors aren't around as much anymore and a lot of the fields are empty. So, I was walking along the playing fields like I usually do and for a moment, I saw what I thought was a glove. It was underneath one of the bleachers. I thought someone must have left behind a glove by accident but..." he then swallows hard, "...when I went to go check, I looked and the hand was... still inside. Someone even preserved it in a plastic bag! Why would they do that!? I dropped it and left in a hurry. I tried to call the police station twice about it but the lines have been busy all the time."

He then takes a deep breath and sighs.

"Fir, if you could do me a favor... it might be a good idea to look into that," Torqueal tells you, trying to remain optimistic despite the grim finding he came across. "That... I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with the Stalkers. And I... I don't know whose hand that was."

"Well, hopefully you're able to find something that I can't," Torqueal tells you. "I'll admit, I'm not too good at handling the sight of blood. My father always wanted me to be a doctor but... well, I'm glad psychiatrists don't have to deal with blood, that's for sure!"

"Best of luck, Fir," he smiles to you as he prepares to go. "I hope things go well for you."
