You decide to head to the large, black building that is owned by Lockland Distribution. Here, most of the finished goods and raw materials that the entire industrial town produces gets packed into the trucks that are here and get hauled off to other towns.

It seems activity here isn't as bustling as it used to be, however. A lot of the trucks look like they've been idle for weeks and it doesn't seem like all that much is being exported at a time like this. Still the facility has been functioning and while you check out the outside, it seems like the condition of the building is in relatively good shape. You figure if it weren't for the Stalkers, this place really wouldn't be having problems doing business.

While checking around the exterior, you find what looks like a very oddly shaped rock. When you take a closer look, it seems like it was carved and stashed away here. You turn it over and you're suddenly greeted with the horrifying, undead face of decapitated Nidoking, who gives you the sudden halluċ̛̝̼̟̮̓͗̂̈̐ͧ̒̆͟ination that he's screa̪̦̱̮ͯͧ̍ͭ̏̿̇ͩ̕͟ming and his mo̧͂̑̈̽̀̾͆͗ͯ͟͏͏̵͕̗͍̪͉̩uth is rea̪̦̱̮ͯͧ̍ͭ̏̿̇ͩ̕͟ching for yo̧͂̑̈̽̀̾͆͗ͯ͟͏͏̵͕̗͍̪͉̩ur faċ̛̝̼̟̮̓͗̂̈̐ͧ̒̆͟e.

Trying to look away and steel yourself, you really don't feel like handling this macabre thing, but you know it doesn't belong here and it likely something one of the Stalkers tried to hide and stash away for later. You figure there's a reason why this thing exists in the first place, so you psyche yourself up and take it with you.

Item [Nidoking Head] #Disturbing Presence# (1 Sanity Damage) has been added to the Team Inventory.

As you try to catch your breath and get your heart rate to calm down, you decide to head into the main building itself, where here, most of the work done is sorting, bookkeeping, checking shipment manifests, and making sure the right shipments go to the right customers and that all orders are verified and validated before going out. It seems like a lot of the work is done by computer, which is good because you imagine trying to do this with only paper would be painfully complicated and loopy.

While searching around, you notice a small tuft of lavender-colored fur snagged underneath a wooden create. You imagine the crate might have landed on some Pokémon's foot and as a result, yanked this clump of fur out when the Pokémon pulled it away. It makes you wince just thinking about how that must have been a really nasty pinch, but still, you wonder if there's a chance there could be some connection to this and a plausible Stalker.

You decide to take the sample with you for Tashy's testing.

Pokémon Sample [Lavender Fur] was added to the Team Inventory.

You check out the rest of the offices and filing areas, but you don't really find anything that seems weird or unordinary around here. As before, it seems like a good number of staff personnel are missing, but you already know why that is.

You decide to head back to base and prepare for tonight.
