As you easily realize, you see ApexMart is huge and remains open even at night. Despite the situation with the Stalkers, it seems like not much has changed about this large box mart store that still insists on doing business.

As you look up and down the aisles, you see plenty of different kinds of products for a large variety of Pokémon. While some are a bit more specialized toward Pokémon of certain types, sizes, shapes, and the like, there's definitely something for everyone here and it without a doubt, ApexMart is the central hub of retail when it comes to Southwarren. Because of this store, any other store trying to go into retail will struggle without a doubt. It just seems like this place has everything.

ApexMart has it all from produce, electronics, clothing, home goods, a pharmacy, and even an outdoor furniture area. Even at this time of night, there's still a few other shoppers in here with you. It also feels a little safer to be in here during the night than outside in the dark where the Stalkers might lurk.

While going through the dairy aisle of ApexMart's grocery area, you notice something shiny on the linoleum-tiled floor. It catches your eye and when you take a closer look, it seems to be a silver ring. While even though you're not a jewelry expert, it's definitely an item of value. You're not sure if someone lost it or what the story behind this is, but you decide to take it with you. You're pretty sure if you don't, someone else will if they see it.

Item [Silver Ring] has been added to the Team Inventory.

You continue your search inside the store, and while there are many tons of products to look at, you know you could spend all day and all night browsing each and every shelf. Still, you don't really find anything else on the inside that sticks out as being strangely unusual.

You then head outside back into the dark of the night, taking your search around the exterior of the store. As you search around the perimeter of the building, you have that longing of wanting to be back inside where the lights are on and it's definitely much more interesting, but still, you keep looking for anything that stands out.

When you get to the parking lot, you notice a small pile of trash and what appears to be a small puddle of blood here. As you take a closer look, it almost seems like someone went running through here and stepped on the sharp edge of a loose pop top to a can, which looks like it painfully dug a red scale out of their foot or leg. Still, despite taking that injury, it looks like they didn't stop and kept running. You can only imagine what for...

You decide to take the red scale, wondering if maybe the Pokémon was in fact a Stalker. Right now, it's a bit too dark to really get the whole story, but you're thinking maybe more answers will come out of this in time.

Pokémon Sample [Red Scale] has been added to the Team Inventory.

You make one last sweep around the ApexMart building, but you don't find anything else that stands out. Despite a long search, you feel you've done pretty well and you then head back to base.
