You head to the southeastern corner of Southwarren, where things get a little dingy and dirty here. The Copperplate Hotel adds to this dingy feeling, as the hotel's condition only continues to worsen. As you search around the outside, you see the whole building has begun to fall into disrepair and very few Pokémon hang out around it. You're also convinced that if anyone were to ever want to work with this property, they'd probably have to tear the whole building down and build something new.

You head inside and the interior is very creepy, especially at this nighttime hour. There is very little lighting, forcing you to have to use a headlamp to see your way around. The wood has rotted down quite a bit, the paint on the walls and ceiling is peeling down in strips, and there is dust, debris, cobwebs, and dirt everywhere. Most of the windows are also cracked or broken, and the only ones that aren't have been so caked over with dust and dirt that you can barely see out of them.

On the first floor, you find the lobby, which is large, vacant, and has plenty of dusty, dingy furniture that hasn't been used in decades. The ceramic tiled floor is coming apart and it looks like the indoor swimming pool hasn't been filled with water in a very long time.

You search the rooms, but all you really find are dusty beds, peeling wallpaper, and dirty carpets. None of them really seem to have anything useful that was left behind. You then make your way to the staff and service areas. The elevator seems to be fully dead and there's no way to restore power to it. Meanwhile, you notice something very strange about the door that leads to the basement levels.

It's slathered with occult-like markings, satanic-looking insignias, and shadowy, nefarious symbols. It's hard to make out the demonic scrawl raked deep into the metallic door, but you make out some words:

ThIS iS thE DooR tO HeLL. WhERE OnlY thE WoRsT oF thE woRsT EntEr HErE.

You try to open the door, but it won't budge. Seems like it's locked, and when you take a closer look at the macabre doorknob, you see what looks like a hellish emblem by the keyhole. The word "HeLl" is etched here with very demonic scrawl-like lettering.

Locked Door {The Door to Hell Locked: Hell Emblem} has been noted in the Team Records.

You decide to leave it alone and head to the upper floors. Most of the rooms up here are in the same, dusty, messy condition, only now there are holes in the floors and there are plenty of places where any heavy Pokémon could cause the floor to give out from underneath them.

When you get to the third floor, one room, Room 307, seems to have something unusual. The room is much darker than the others, where the furniture is black, the walls are a gothic motif, and the furnishings make it look like the room belongs to a witch or warlock. You find a centerpiece table that seems to have some kind of bizarre candle resting on it. It's a candle unlike anything you've seen before, and judging from the look of it, you're pretty sure it may not even work with a normal flame.

You decide to take the candle with you, feeling a strange, almost ghostly feeling coming from it.

Item [Unlit Candle of the Departed: Burning Icicle Flame] has been added to the Team Inventory.

You search throughout the rest of the abandoned hotel, but you don't find too much else besides more of the same dusty, dingy, forgotten hotel rooms that the other floors had.

You decide to head out and return to base with your findings.
