As you can see from an initial glance, the Silvercoal News Stand and Bookstore was only very recently abandoned by Nesmer the Torterra, who obviously thought fleeing for his life was more important than worrying about a few newspapers and books. Ironically, you can tell exactly when the Stalkers decided to strike just based on the last newspaper that was stocked here, dated only a few months ago.

The building itself isn't very big and is part of the same unit as the neighboring lawfirm. You decide to start by looking about the perimeter, which doesn't seem to be in bad shape. It also doesn't have too much damage either. From what you can tell, Nesmer was earning enough income from locals who just wanted something to read, and as a result, it doesn't look like Nesmer had trouble keeping up with rent. Had it not been for the Stalkers, you're certain business would have continued as normal and Nesmer would definitely still be here. Where he now, you can't even begin to imagine.

While searching the inside, you come across plenty of rows and rows of recently-released, best seller books in the first isle. Sadly, it looks like some of it was shoplifted without Nesmer to watch over it. However, it seems thieves aren't all too much into reading or newspapers from months ago as not everything was taken. Pretty much all of the snacks and candy were stolen, but most of the other merchandise is still here.

One thing that stands out as unusual is an audio recording holotape. It seems like it was stashed away here only recently right besides a bunch of magazines, but hastily and not very orderly. It seemed as though either the Pokémon that put it here couldn't use their arm correctly or couldn't see what they were doing. There's no reason for a holotape to be next to a bunch of beauty and hovercraft enthusiast magazines.

You decide to play it and it sounds highly unusual, like a distorted robotic voice...

=Audio Recording 1= was noted in the Team Records.

You decide to take it with you to determine if you can figure out more.

After making one last sweep around the store and the rest of the building, it seems nothing else sticks out as being strange or suspicious. You decide to head back into the night streets and return back to base.
