Finding it odd that several Pokémon have drawn suspicions about Yandil, you decide to pursue him and watch him at all times from the shadows. After the limited amount of information that Laura got from talking to him, you decided to take it a few steps further.

You quickly learn Yandil, in his late 30s, lives at (28) Sandwoods Apartments, which isn't suspicious considering there are many Pokémon that favor that particular complex for its much more reasonable rent charges. Meanwhile, he works at (7) Whitemill Manufacturing as an Engineer. This also isn't that out of the ordinary considering he spends a large amount of time designing the machines that process the cardboard and paper products that Whitemill is known for.

And while the type of work doesn't strike you as unusual, it's the way he works that's alarming. Yandil NEVER STOPS WORKING. He's up early and it seems he's at the plant until it completely shuts down for the night doing a double shift every single day. He takes his work home with him and doesn't stop until late at night. Meanwhile, his apartment, his desk, and his living area are a mess with papers everywhere and books stacked all over the place. If he can't work on machine design because he's at home, he'll do technical writing instead and spend hours on it. Just from watching him, you almost get the sense that he invents busywork for himself just to keep at it. Also, there is nothing interesting or colorful about his apartment. The walls are bare, the furniture is boring and is only functional, and it's as plain and as boring as it can possibly get. Not to mention it really could use a cleaning, which is something Yandil shows no care to do.

Yandil, as you discover, absolutely loathes Jeddi the Bewear, who you learn is lazy, careless, and often fools around when she's supposed to be working. These two absolutely can't stand each other and while Yandil calls Jedii a "fat, stupid slob," Jeddi calls him a "workaholic freak."

Jeddi is right in a way, however. Yandil is very complacent to Whitehill company protocol and is like a walking standard operating procedure encyclopedia. He insists on being a "protocol lawyer" at work and bothers everyone about their work habits. He's as Type A as one could possibly get and is likely one that would think "all work and no play would make Jack a very productive boy" instead. He also is extreme when it comes to things being done on time, if not drastically sooner "just because it's possible". Yandil is committed to routines as well, and is seemingly programmed by the clock to do exact things at exact hours like a machine.

As Yandil's rival, Jeddi knows exactly how to trigger Yandil's hate. Surprises and pranks. Just today, while you were watching from the shadows, she disconnected the computer at Yandil's workstation and Yandil threatened to kill her for it when it took him an extra twenty minutes to undo the disruption she caused. Jeddi also stole and ate Yandil's lunch from the refrigerator, but he decided to go without it today and make up the lost time that was caused by her antics with the computer.

Overall, something strikes you as oddly unusual about Yandil. A Pokémon shouldn't feel this drawn to being overworked, but Yandil somehow manages it and not fall horribly sick from the burnout. It's not normal and though it could be an outlier case, something else might be at work here.
