During the night hours, you can see the Superplex Shopping Center has closed down for the night, but you find a way to sneak in through the back via a maintenance hovertruck garage that has been left open. After navigating through the concrete hallways, you find the janitorial door that leads to the rest of the mall and you slip through unnoticed.
You then head to the Surprises In Store gift and card shop. After about thirty minutes of sweeping through the store's many shelves of knick-knacks, candy and chocolate arrangements, jewelry, and other similar gift items, you don't find anything that grabs your attention or seems suspicious.
The next store you investigate, Timeless Masterpieces, is an expensive art and sculpture store with many paintings, craftwork, and figurines that are of exceptionally high quality, but with exceptionally high price tags as well. It seems clear only Pokémon that make a high income would shop at a store like this, but it does have quite a selection of art that these kinds of Pokémon would be interested in.
In the back of the store is the clothing area, which seems to also have custom-made apparel for all kinds of Pokémon shapes and sizes, but of course with expensive fabrics and designer fashions. While none of what you see grabs your interest, behind them all seems to be a high-grade Kexar Security door. While initially it doesn't seem strange at first, you take a closer look and it seems like the lock mechanism has been tampered with. While the door lock is still engaged, you can't help but notice there is scuffing by the keypad, which seems highly unusual given how impeccable the rest of the store and merchandise is. It seems like it was very recent, making you begin to wonder if perhaps the Stalkers are involved.
As you take a closer look, without knowing the login credentials or the passcode, someone on the team is going to have to hack into the system and perform an administrator override in order to disengage this lock. And unfortunately, you just don't have the know-how on how to do that...
Locked Door {Kexar Security Door: <Science>} has been noted in the Team Records.
As a last sweep through, you investigate the Celestial Jewelry store, which also has a large selection of extremely rare and precious gemstones, necklaces, platinum holowatches, earrings, and other similar jewelry items that come with prices that would easily wipe out several months worth of income for most Pokémon. However, despite admiring the jewelry, you don't see anything that raises any alarms or suspicion.
You decide to head out back the same way you came in as the dawn soon approaches.
