Right as your hands are about to touch the egg, a sparkling barrier shimmers and stops you. Immediately, you hear a calm voice inside your head. "Greetings traveler. What is your purpose for journeying here? We have not had a visitor in a very long time."
Ziggy's eyes go a little wider and he looks around at the sound of the voice in his head "Ummmm..... Hello? I'm a musician traveling with my friends to Rainshadow City through the pass. Me, I'm on a journey to nowhere in particular to become a great musician. I heard the most beautiful voice I've ever heard sing, and a hand beckoned me here. Your hall of gems was beautiful! And I love the musical doors! Oh... uhh.... who are you?"

Tristan & Jonathan:
Paras and Cottonee dutifully follow Tristan as he searches, though aren't very helpful in finding much. But it doesn't matter. After taking a closer look at the rocks for the first time, Tristan notices they're dotted with shards - red, purple, and blue ones. Once he sees them for the first time, he starts spotting them everywhere. One shimmer even turned out to be a nugget, bigger than the one Jonathan found!

Amazingly, he managed to find a glass beer bottle, and a little farther down he found some foil left behind by a littering camper. On his way back to the group, on last thing caught his eye. Some light brown rock sticking out of group near the edge of the underground river. When he got closer to take a look, he could instantly tell what it was - a fossil!

Tristan spent an hour searching, and sustained some scratches due to his subpar survival skills. When he returns, Ziggy is surprisingly not back yet.

Ziggy:
"Who are we?" You swear you hear echoes of a hundred soft giggles. "My, we didn't expect this to be your first fairy grove. Not with music that contains such power. We are relieved. What luck." There's a small pause. "This room is made entirely of Moon Stone. Isn't it magnificent?"

Ziggy:
"It is a very ancient song. Remember it well, for you will teach it to our little one, and one day you will hear it again." The sparkling barrier between Ziggy's hands and the egg disappears.

Tristan can't believe his luck. He set out to find scrap -- literally -- and ended up with quite a few very valuable things to show for it! Putting away the valuables -- the shards, nugget, and the Pokemon fossil -- he sets to work making his home remedy for Bug Pokemon that strayed too close to his garden.

The beer bottle would do well enough, but the neck was a little narrow for his purposes. Using his trimming shears, he carefully etched a line around the base of the bottle's neck. This made it easier to snap off, rather than breaking it into a million tiny shards. Instructing Bella, he had her place a small portion of acid in the bottom of the bottle, and pulled out a few Pokepennies from his pocket. They were made of copper, and would have to do. He polished them a little, and wrapped the stack of them in chicken wire (that he sometimes used to hold in more unruly berry bushes) before dropping the bound cylinder into the portion of acid in the beer bottle.

Next, Tristan folded the foil into a slightly thicker sheet, after he wiped it clean. The aluminum would form a residue quickly, unlike zinc, but it would have to do. Adding more acid to the mixture, he threaded a second piece of chicken wire through the foil, and added it to the bottle, allowing it to stay near the top.

"Phoebe, here," he said. "Take these wires and hook them up to your device. This... it should work as a makeshift battery, hopefully charging up the machine you've got there before sputtering out. It's not much current, but I hope it'll do."

"Uh..wh...thank you! I'm honored!" Ziggy gingerly lifts the egg with a little bow, trying to look serious. "And I will teach it the song...uh...whatever it is..." Ziggy looked around again "How come you guys live inside the mountain? Is is because of all these crazy gems?"

Tristan & Jonathan:
#Jonathan, you can retroactively choose to do something during that hour if you'd like, including also searching around.

Phoebe was sitting knees crossed, hands on her knees in meditation. She opens one eye and looks at the battery you present her, then opens both eyes and lets out a little laugh. "You're clever, aren't you?" She leads you to her charging contraption, and you connect the wires. Amazingly, the acid begins to bubble and a little light on the device slowly comes on.

Phoebe shakes her head in disbelief. "To be honest, I didn't think this would work. Now we can charge this whole stack of batteries by tomorrow. Thank you," she says with a smile. "Maybe we should make camp here? It is getting late."

Ziggy:
"Oh, what a philosophical conundrum. Are we here because of the gems, or are the gems here because of us?" After more echoes of laughter, there's a pause. "The song is ancient, so old that its name has been lost to time. And with its name went it's true power. But we shouldn't spoil it...she'll tell you herself soon enough. Goodbye, Ziggy. Take care of our little one."

Every inch of the room glows brighter and brighter white, until Ziggy feels like he's completely blinded - and in a blink, he's back in the cavern, at the wall where he fist found the musical notes. But now all the gems are gone, and the stone is smooth like they were never there. In his hands is a pink Pokemon egg with small white stars.

Jonathan grumbles as he finally finishes heat cleaning off the bear spit from the kitchen utensils. Phyllis's flame licks at the pots and pans filled with water as they boil away the germs.

"This is what I get for not putting it away immediately..." The kitchen set whirs and collapses back into its more easily carried form.

As he finally puts the kitchen set away, he hears Tristan stomping his way back and then watches as he assembles an ingenious galvanic battery.

"What an idea!" Jonathan thinks for a minute and then rummages through his chemistry set.

"Here! The battery is going to work a lot better if you do this." He pulls out a filtration tube and fills it with Sodium Sulfate. "Use this to complete the circuit. You can't have a galvanic cell without a salt bridge!"

"Thanks, Jon!" Tristan says. "I just know a few home remedies. I'm no tech whiz."

Looking over to Phoebe, he nods. "I agree. My Pokémon could use the rest for sure. Barnaby's not feeling so hot," he says as he releases the Grotle from his Pokéball and begins massaging the wounds and tending to the newly-sprouted bushes on the Pokémon's back.

"Well, since we're setting down for the evening soon, do you guys want me to work on making any medicine or stuff like that?" He fiddles with his gear. "I tried to stock up before we left."
