You find Areggi the Rotom who works as the manager for Indicative Hardware and Appliances at the shopping center. Business is a little slow and he doesn't seem all too happy about it even after all the hard work he puts in to make sure the store is well-stocked, features the latest high-tech gadgets and tools and has plenty of promotions to try and get people to at least take a look.

You approach Areggi and he seems happy at first, but then he realizes you're here to ask about the Stalkers and not actually buy anything. He sighs, and then his eyelids droop a bit over his beady blue eyes. He looks away and seems to recall something.

"So I visited Monty for lunch at the Silver Cloud," he tells you. "Monty. Not sure if you've ever met him before, but he's a Dartix. Yes, really charming chap. I wish he told me how expensive that place was and how he wasn't treating me even though he works there and extended the invitation to me. Word of advice. If they don't show the prices on the menu, RUN."

"I had to leave for a minute and take a walk around," Areggi explains. "Monty was on a rant about how they handle the food there and I was really wondering just why the blazes we were eating there if he wasn't too thrilled about neither working there nor the food they were preparing. He didn't say anything and then changed his mind to say they weren't all that bad, but I'm sure it had to be something along the lines where he got an employee discount. He wouldn't say that to my face, however."

"So while we waited for what seems like forever to get the bill, I was taking a stroll and I noticed they had security processor there," Aregii tells you, seemingly hooked into his own conversation given that there's not really much else he can do with a lack of customers around. "See, I like gizmos and gadgets. A Rotom like myself naturally enjoys these things, so I couldn't help but tinker with it. What I found was strange. There was some kind of fabric contained in it, which didn't make sense. Why? At first, I couldn't explain who would go through so much trouble to lock up a rag until I felt this... otherworldly presence coming out of it. Now that... I've never felt that before. I would have checked it out longer, but I had already been away from the table for fifteen minutes and I don't like leaving Monty alone for that long. Who knows what he'll do."

"Beyond that, well, nothing much save for what the newsfeeds tell me," Aregii replies. "Business has been grim, but I've seen worse. I haven't seen any Stalkers around and frankly, I'd rather not meet the lovely Pokémon responsible for all this. Especially considering how those encounters usually play out."

"Well, nice chatting with you, Lita," Aregii tells you, sighing as he needs to get back to work. "But next time, do me a favor and well... at least buy something. I swear I think you'd like the Firesnap DDX Holophone. The camera in that one is a hell of a lot better than anything else out there at the moment. Plus with 50 Zetabytes of memory, you'd never run out of space!"

You nod with a relaxed smile and then head out on your way.
