You find Rachta the Tepig at the Jeek and Zundy Leisure Centre, where he's playing a board game called Vertigo War with two other Pokémon, a Pachirisu that takes his time making every move and a Zorua that just wants him to hurry up already. From what you can tell, Rachta has a pretty big pouch with him, carrying all sorts of gaming gear and other belongings. From what you can tell, he definitely intends on spending a lot of time here today.

You approach him, politely waiting until it's the indecisive Pachirisu's turn so you have a moment to speak to Racha while he waits. You introduce yourself to him, and he wonders for a bit about why you're talking to specifically him.

"Huh, Carly?" he asks, wondering if he's heard that name before. "Don't think we've ever met. How are you, I guess?"

"Come on, Chasey," the Zorua complains to the Pachirisu. "I'm not getting younger here!"

You ask Rachta about the Stalkers, and if he knows anything about them. He seems surprised you're specifically asking him about that, but he shrugs and decides to spill what he knows.

"Yeah, they're creepy, huh?" he asks you, wondering if they make you feel anxious as well. "Sometimes I wonder if my teachers are actually Stalkers! Or maybe that weird librarian, Bencho. He's always whispering weird things, talking to himself, stuff like that. I mean, he's always done that, but I wonder."

He reaches for his bag, but a few of his belongings spill in the process, scattering playing cards, dice, and metal gaming tokens. He groans as he quickly to tries to gather them up and clean up the mess. However, among these scattered gaming items, you notice something unusual. It appears to be a toy Igglybuff, only it looks badly scratched and damaged. Normally, this wouldn't bother you, but you feel a faint dark presence emanating from it...

Rachta sees you eyeing the Igglybuff, wondering why you've taken a particular interest in that item specifically.

"I know, it's kind of weird, isn't it?" he asks you and smiles, looking at the mauled figurine. "I found it the other day. Bet some kid got angry and started throwing it or something. Well, finders keepers!"

You try to inquire further about it, trying to convince Rachta to allow you to have it. Something seems wrong with it, but you imagine Rachta can't tell the difference between it and any other regular toy.

"Huh, you want this?" Rachta asks, looking at you strangely. "Why? Well, I found it, I'd rather keep it. I'm sure you can go buy a brand new one! Besides, I need it to replace one of the Vertigo War gaming pieces I lost the other day."

After the Pachirisu finishes his turn and Rachta is next up to go, he goes back to playing his game, leaving you convinced that you're going to need someone else to convince Rachta to part with what he's improvised as a gaming piece...
