Indeed. Clover, would you be able to provide us with an aerial view?

[ The faerie, still perched on Ori's horn, gives a quick nod and flits off to the sky above the village to do some recon. ]

Thank you, Professor. We shall take it from here.

[derailer]

"Oh, no! I'm the one who must offer my gratitude to you!"

One thing that is immediately obvious from an aerial view is that Magnezone—who can also fly—is hovering around the roof of the tall Galaxy Hall building that stands in the center of the main street you're on.

[hearthwarming]

[ Ori will watch Miss Clover and wait dutifully for a little faerie flight report! And pick scoop Whimsicott up into her arms in the meanwhile, because she has a feeling they would run off to cause mischief... ]

[inklongdry]

[ Clover does indeed zip back to report, doing her best pantomime impression of Magnezone and pointing at the building in question. It's very cute. ]

It seems we've our first quarry. Do you think we'd be better served by leading it away or confronting it where it is?

[hearthwarming]

[ Miss Clover is ALWAYS so cute... But Ori hums, thoughtfully. ]

I think we ought to at least lead it closer to the ground...

[ She glances at Sirfetch'd, with his lil' shield and lil' leek sword. That's a melee fighter if she ever saw one... ]

[inklongdry]

[ He glances over at his Pokemon. ]

Ah, yes, a good plan. Let's see what we can do.

[derailer]

Your Pokemon are ready to help!

The Professor suggests, "Well, perhaps if you were to attract its attention somehow?"

[hearthwarming]

[ Almost as if on cue, Whimsicott starts wriggling around in Ori's arms. ]

Hm? You want to help, Whimsicott? Okay, be careful!

[ It leaps out of her arms and then goes to blast Magnezone with Gust!

Before it will try to bounce back behind Sirfetch'd or something because it's just a lil Grass/Fairy type, help ]

[derailer]

The Gust barely affects Magnezone, but it does wobble a little in midair. It turns around, not being able to identify the source.

[inklongdry]

[ Well... Arthur just puts his fingers to his lips and whistles. Very loud. ]

Oi! You're looking for us!

[ He'll get the hang of this pokemon thing eventually. ]

[hearthwarming]

[ Oh, well, that was a wash. She briefly wonders what would happen if she tried to use Wild Shape in here... would it just turn her into a Pokemon, if anything...?

But oh! Arthur's whistle is very loud indeed! Tynamo and Whimsicott follow suit, and offer their own little Pokemon cries. ]

[derailer]

Aha! Magnezone pings onto the group, and floats down.

But also, it assumes you're provoking it into a battle, so its magnets spin with an electronic cry! It's ready to attack! You will have to roll to defeat it!

[hearthwarming]

[ Oh, this is so much more scary than back in the simulator room!?!?! Ori gasps, and so does Whimsicott (in its own little way), and it also cries out in a very damsel-y way!

Arthur is coming in with the actual roll, Team Whimsicori (and Tynamo) are just here to provide the spice of life! ]

[inklongdry]

[ SIRFETCH'D TO THE RESCUE (with an 11 roll). It jumps between Whimsicott and the approaching Magnezone with its shield held up, ready to defend against any oncoming attack!

It will then follow up with a Brick Break in retaliation! ]

[derailer]

It's super effective! Magnezone reels from the hit, wobbling in the air, and the force makes it recognize that it was foolish to be aggressive in the first place. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. It droops down close to the ground, not showing any more signs of fighting.

[inklongdry]

[ Sirfetch'd is definitely doing that thing that sword fighters do when they've won, and is holding its leek sword out at Magnezone, point first. Like ha ha, I have bested you!

Arthur reaches over and pats the Pokemon on the head. ]

You did well my friend. I think we've taken the fight right out of it.

[hearthwarming]

Sirfetch'd...!

[ Whimsicott squeals and bounces happily! Sirfetch'd is a hero!

Ori, meanwhile, tilts her head. ]

Ah, you're right, it... Gave up?

[ She looks to see if the Professor is around. What now? ]

[derailer]

He claps. "Good show! I can take care of it from here. If you could bring the others back here when you find them, that would be splendid! I can't thank you enough!"

[inklongdry]

'Tis our pleasure.

[ He gives the professor a small bow, then turns back to Ori et al. ]

Let us resume our search then. Clover?

[ Once again Clover takes to the sky to scope out the place! ]

[derailer]

There's nothing that pops out to Clover quite as immediately as Magnezone did. There's a Pokemon—! Wait, that's a Graveler. Not one of the ones on the list. Other Pokemon are working the fields, but none fit the description. There are some shops, a training ground, residences with laundry hanging out behind them—along with a strange statue...? A back gate to the walled village leads out towards a peaceful beach, but Clover would have to fly over there to see anything on it.

[hearthwarming]

[ Ori scoops Whimsicott back up into her arms, and once Clover returns with her report... ]

Hmm... Should we investigate the strange statue? They're usually a good place to start, in my experience...

[inklongdry]

'Tis as good a place as any to start.

[ They will head for the statue then! ]

[derailer]

You squeeze through the buildings to see it. Looking at it in person, and not from an aerial view, it looks really, really, really similar to what Probopass looked like in the Pokedex photo.

[hearthwarming]

Oh...? It looks like Probopass! Let's take a closer look. Stay on your guard in case there are traps, okay, everyone?

[ So many rigged statues in her lifetime... But yes, she will examine the statue more closely! ]

[inklongdry]

[ Arthur follows along, Joltik on one shoulder and Sirfetch'd marching in front. Clover flutters along behind him. ]

Oh! It does, doesn't it? Hiding in plain sight.

[ Sirfetch'd reaches up to poke it a little with its leek sword. ]
