You head to the Southwarren Water Pumping Station in the far southeastern side of town, where this is the town's main source of clear drinking water. The building is pretty new and hasn't seen a whole lot of wear and tear. You can also tell that there used to be an old water pumping station here but it seems like it was torn down not that long ago and replaced by this new one. Judging from the looks of everything else in the area, you're hoping the town doesn't stop there and gets rid of some of these older, condemned buildings to replace them with new ones.

You search around the outside of the dark gray building and you notice there's gray pipes just about everywhere. Most of them are fairly large, but there's a whole network of them weaving in and out like a bowl of metal spaghetti. There also seem to be a lot of valves as well.

By one cluster of pipes, you find a piece of a ripped yellow leaf, snagged on one of the protruding spigots. Upon taking a closer look, you're pretty sure it belongs to a Pokémon. Who in particular, you're not sure, but you're quite sure it doesn't belong to a tree. You decide to wrestle the leaf out and you take it with you for Tashy's testing.

You then search in the interior. From the looks of things, not too many Pokémon work here. Every now and then there's a maintenance personnel, but most of the station seems to be automated and was already calibrated to function during the station's initial installment.

You also see even more gray pipes on the inside. They come out of the floor, the walls, the ceiling, and just about anywhere. You find plenty of other machines that you're not quite sure what they do, but you figure they keep the water running and purified to be sent throughout all of Southwarren.

Toward one gray cluster of pipes, you find something really odd. It looks like a strange, shaped rock. You take a closer look and it almost seems like it's the head of something. Wondering what this might be, you turn it over to fully inspect this strange object.

You turn it over, really not wanting to look at it again, but you're convinced some Stalker thought no one would ever notice this infernal, unholy thing hidden here. You decide to take it with you, though you take special care not to look at that face again.

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

You search through the rest of the water pumping station, but you don't really see too much else that raises any alarms. You decide to head back for now and prepare for tonight with the new things you have found today.
