Should we expose the smuggling ring?

[Lychee]

So, for starters, while we have two options, we also have potentially two utopian relics. While Willow doesnt say she has one, or know she has one, we arent sure what her quest rewards will be. It's possible that the glint of a utopian item shown in the clairvoyance vision is an item that she will be more likely to give us after the quest.

"Willow... Willow the Miltank...

She has something of vital importance, connected with this relic of Utopia. You see a faint glimpse of shining light coming from a pouch she carries on her side. Inside, you see a piece of metal, a sudden radiance of reassurance before the vision fades, and you are pulled back into your resting body."
Was the glimpse of metal the sports shed key? Why wouldnt it just show us the utopian relic directly, by going to sandsheel? Or is it another relic she doesnt know she has?

So, basically, I'm going to assume there are TWO relics, and I think we need both items.

I'm a big fan of beating pokemon unconcious and taking items while they're passed out, so I'm actually thinking what if we do something like yes, bust the drug ring to get willows potential reward, and beat up our drug lord poke-pals to take their item too? If we dont find the utopian relic there, we can also search their houses. I mean, we have already searched pokemons houses and taken their stuff before.
It's not like the angel relic is going to evaporate, it'll just be harder to get.

Or, let the drug runners go free, assume they'll come good on their word and deliver both money and utopian relic to us (can we get a garuntee on that? Can we trust them? They're already lying to other pokemon - but for gameplay purposes let's assume they'll fulfill their promise). Then lie to willow and be like "oh it's not going to bother you anymore dont worry, anyway can I have that sack you keep at your hip?"

I mean, siding with the drug dealers seems easier.


If it has to be a binary choice, I say go with the option that gets us the utopian relic that we can see in front of us. Sandsheels deal.

But...maybe there is a different way?
