"So...do we just walk down the whole river, or what?"
Greg listens.
Charles sighed and laid back, deciding to take a nap
He can hear the babble of the people in the city. Most of it is mundane; Trainers thinking about their Pokemon, husbands thinking about their wives, children working out simple math equations.
Off to the west-north-west, he can hear a girl happily singing a song in her head as she fishes.
Greg points and starts walking.
"That way."
Ray follows Greg, trusting his sixth sense.
Coming to the woman who was fishing by the river, Ray cried. "Are you the Master Gym Leader?" he asked in a loud, pleasant voice. Then, seeing how revealingly the woman was dressed, his eyes went to the grass. "Oh, ah..."
Greg reacts similarly, looking straight up, but doesn't say anything.
"Master Gym Leader?" The woman was amused. "No, I wouldn't say that. I'm a Gym Leader, but hardly the Master Gym Leader."
"Ah, yes..." Ray said, looking up and working hard to focus on her eyes and not turn bright red. "Well, we were sent by Gym Leader Brock... it's... it's concerning the artifact you have."
"Which artifact would that be?" She's looking at them now, more seriously than before.
Greg still isn't looking at her. "I think it was called...the Enigma Stone?"
"Yes, yes." Ray agreed. Don't look at anything but her eyes. Don't look at anything but her eyes. "Brock told us to come to you after a robbery."
"A robbery," she mused. "And why didn't he get the police?"
"He said he was worried about spies in the police."
She nodded.
"And why didn't he come down by himself?"
"He got injured in the attack."
Charles got up after his nap, bored. He walked up to the counter. "Is there anything I can do around town? Maybe make some money?"
Ray nodded. "He said the utmost secrecy was important and to keep team rocket from getting what you had."
Misty bit her lip. "And what did he want with me, then?"

"Any jobs?" The nurse looked down at him, curious. "Well, if you're interested, there have been reports of a dragon attack on the outskirts of town. I'd suggest staying away, but if you're interested, a reward has been put out for anyone who defeats the dragon."

Jackie walked forwards, hoping to locate Greg and Ray.
She didn't notice the whoosh whoosh of wings overhead until they were nearly on top of her, as two creatures landed behind her.
"He said to warn you that they were after the second stone."
"Whoa, there!" Jackie spun around and saw two pokemon getting ready to fight her. A snap decision told her that Pillow wouldn't be the best pokemon to use here on account of its type. "Go, Typhoon!" She released Typhoon from his pokeball.
Charles frowned. "...That may be hard to do while my Pokemon are here getting healed"
"I'm not certain of the details... but Team Rocket is trying to summon pokemon of unfathomable power. It would be disastrous for us all."
"The second stone..."
She sighed and turned back to face the river.
"Luckily for me, then, I don't have the stone any more."
The nurse looked at Charles.
"Perhaps you could borrow a Pokemon off someone," she said dryly. "Or else take one of your Pokemon back with you. I do not know; you are the one who asked for a job, not me."
"Do you know where it is?"
"Of course I know where it is!" She looked indignant. "I'm not that irresponsible, y'know! It's with someone who can take care of it a lot better than me."
