Desperately hoping that other pokemon could become organised to help too, she picks up $60 from the team inventory and sets out towards town for a quick shop before the mission.

BUY
- 1x [titanium ore]

Now that the team inventory had enough supplies to make an iron dagger, a titanium dagger, plus a couple of headbands as well as enough macroweed for the pure cloth, she figured that ought to be enough supplies for now.

Next, she goes to Bixas.
"Hey! Have you heard there is going to be a comedy show on, that Dimfred is running?" She tries to lighten the mood, but then gets down to it.
"It seems there is more I can learn from you, Bixas. Would you teach me how to rescue others? I need to rescue a friend, tonight."
Once she learns how to rescue, Lillian will set out with the intention to rescue Madder. Hopefully another pokemon with the skill will join in!
Lillian has avoided the followers of the Abyss...

Knowing time is of the essence, you quickly head to buy one nugget of [Titanium Ore], and then you head to Bixas. He certainly hasn't forgotten about you!

"You again!" Bixas exclaims, looking quite displeased as the Pinsir wears a scowl. "Don't tell me you're here for another battle, because...!"

"Hey!" you call back to him, lightening the mood with your smile. "Have you heard there is going to be a comedy show on that Dimfred is running?"

"What the...!? Dimfred?" he asks, looking baffled. "What's he got to... are you even listening to me!?"

"It's a comedy show, silly!" You laugh, playfully booping him between the eyes with your paw. "You know what those are, right? Why not watch it? You look like you could use a few laughs!"

He gets a little comically irked, especially considering the humbling you gave him earlier, but he decides not to get too caught up. There are other Pokémon watching and he quickly straightens himself up to not look like you're getting to him again.

"Of course I know what a comedy show is!" he exclaims, but quickly composing himself. "What, do you believe I might think I'm too snooty for that? Of course not, I know how to enjoy humor every once in a while! I'll be there! I'll prove I'm not some stuck-up twit!"

MISSION UPDATED: Spread the Word

You have a feeling a few chuckles would be good for him. He looks like he could use them.

"Good, because I need your help with something else," you approach him sincerely. "It seems there is more I can learn from you, Bixas. Would you teach me how to rescue others? I need to rescue a friend tonight."

"You!?" he exclaims before composing himself. "Well, it would be doing your friend a favor. If they're in trouble, then we need to work quickly."

He doesn't waste a whole lot of time and gets serious about it quickly, first giving you the rundown of what it means to conduct a search and rescue. He goes over the psychology behind it, giving you the details to understand and profile the captor, and then use that information and any evidence found to understand their mentality. A lot of it involves being very focused, being very alert, and not being too hasty. You learn it takes a lot of using all the senses, hearing, sight, feeling, and intuition.

He also goes through the fundamentals of tracking them down, keeping an eye out for signs, and using the surrounding environment to give yourself a clearer picture. From there, you're able to get a better idea of how to follow them down starting from where the captive was first apprehended.

Lillian has learned Rescue/Escape!

When you feel you have enough of a grasp on the concept, you take that knowledge to the place where Madder was last heading. You mention his plan was to speak to Papritz, and with that information, you start with Starplace Gems and you managed to get a lead on who the assailant was. In fact, you even discern it down to the point where you realize the Abyss Hunter in question is a Charmander.

You now have the lead you need to begin the search for Madder, and you now feel you're in pursuit.
