Theme Music is now mandatory

The city air is a refreshing breather from the dank pyramid... it would do an explorer good to take a break every once in a while. Whether here for business or pleasure, out here's definitely better than in there!

With the recent excavation going on, it seems that Professor Elm and his assistants have commandeered half the town in the name of science! The city scientists have set up in the Poke Center, close enough for research, yet far enough away to not be bothered by the inherent dangers of the unknown magical ruins.

With this final nonverbal rebuff, Reya is certain that something fishy is going on at Sprout Tower. It isn't like the monks to turn someone away and the yelling was also out of character. She decides on a visit to Falkner, he was in a better position than she to keep an eye on things and besides it was part of his job as Gym Leader. She makes a quick stop at the Pokecenter to heal up Sada before heading to the Gym. Hopefully the crowds had died down a bit.

Reya heads to the Violet Gym, which doesn't seem to have a lot of business today. Looks like news of the Pyramid is overtaking Falkner's reputation by a smidge.

The Gym itself is about three stories high, a circular tower on the edge of town. The low end of the tower is solid brick, while the top part is mostly iron bars with little support from the brick. The wind howls through the whole tower, and just entering the double-doors sends a rush of air out that almost knocks Reya over. Inside, it's apparent there's no roof, and the sun is right overhead, shining on everything in the brick tower. A bunch of tall oak trees line the inside as well, with rope ladders hanging off them for battles, presumably.

Falkner himself is seated at the base of a low tree in the center, with a Noctowl at his side. He looks up at Reya excitedly, but quickly changes his face to a straight one. Apparently he doesn't want to blow his cool facade.

That was Flakner, always trying to impress the young trainers doing the gym challenge. Reya starts with a small smile before getting down to business. "Thought you'd be busier on such a nice day. Guess the commotion at the Pyramid drew them away, huh? Have you heard anything suspicious about town? I've been investigating but..." recalling the grunt that got away, "I haven't had much luck."

Hmmm


Falkner sighs, and the Noctowl excitedly flaps at the girl, either because of her stoic aura or the prospect of a challenge. "Nope, not today. That Pyramid is such a hit nowadays... but whatever." Not like he's jealous or anything!

"Man, all kinds of characters have been showin' up since that thing came out. I don't know if it's Rockets or thugs or what, but they always seem to be around the tower. It's kinda always been like that, but I feel like it's been more frequent since they opened that pyramid up. I think the weirdest one was this guy a few days ago I saw going in, late at night, who was in this full robe getup, couldn't see an inch of 'em... talk about being anonymous." That sounds familiar.

"Now today, it's like they shut the place down! They won't even let me in, the leader, or even the Professor at the center! Of course, they'll let generic hoodie-dudes and cosplaying monks in. That place has always rubbed me the wrong way, but now it's just getting ridiculous."

Reya digests this latest bit of news. She hadn't noticed anything the last few days she had been in town but she had been prepping for the Pyramid. "Something does seem to be up at the Tower. I stumbled across a Rocket, and followed him. At first he seemed to be headed towards it but I've never been good at sneaking so he noticed and headed into the forest." She says sheepishly before glossing over the battle. "We fought but he managed to escape. He had to have run past the Tower but the monk outside said he hadn't noticed anyone before slamming the door in my face. Bem thinks he was lying." She falters with her tale complete. "I figured you ought to know, just in case..."

"Well of course he's lying!" That's some intense distaste for the monks. "Someone has to do something... see what's up there. I can't, they know my face. You should find someone that can get in there, unless you think you can... and just keep looking until you find it. Because there's something! I know there is!"

"Just keep an eye on them, maybe one of the explorers from the sight could sneak their way in." She stretches before heading out. "Guess I'll go check there now and see what else I can explore for the rest of the day. See ya around Falkner"

Falkner waves the girl goodbye. "Bring them down, whoever they are!"

The sun is dipping a little in the sky... a little past the afternoon. There's plenty of time left in the day to explore, it seems!

The suns has been down when Reya finally manages to get back to Violet with the ghosts. She is running on fumes at this point due to the rude awakening this morning. She leads them to easy sight of the tower, an easy task due to its height. "Alright just keep an eye on that building. You could snoop around inside if you want but try not to be seen. Be sure to pay extra attention to anyone with a big 'R' on there clothes." She says drawing it in the dust to be sure they get the point. "I'll be back at the Pyramid, but I'll try and get back here early tomorrow."
She stifles a yawn before waiting for any questioning looks.

The ghosts take the orders well! They look excited to feed. They phase into the building, and Reya is left alone. The sun's about to set...
