They don't see him on this floor.
Sam: Excuse me miss; where did Dr. Rockwell go?
Clerk: Not sure; let me give him a call...[Dials a number]...hi, Dr. Rockwell. Two boys are asking me where you went...Ok; bye. He's upstairs in an "Employees Only" lab. He says he's still working on your fossil; it should be done in another four hours.
Sam: Oh, well I guess these things take time. Hey Wally, do you think we should investigate the saloon while we wait?

The two exit the museum and walk to the saloon nearby. At the door, they meet a bouncer.
Bouncer: Hello, you two! You seem a bit young for saloons, but I'll let the tapper treat you how he may. But I'm gonna need to take any Pokemon and weapons you have on you first. You'll get 'em back, but we don't want that sorta trouble if people start acting up in here. Good with that?

Wally: Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Do they sell any sweets in there?

Retcon:
Wally: Ah. Well, I don't want to chance it. I have to keep my blood sugar up. My friend and I will head to the store and get me a chocolate bar and then we'll come back.
Wally and Sam head to the Poké Mart, but they don't go inside. Instead, they head around to the back, where Wally releases Tynamo and puts the little electric Pokémon into his inside jacket pocket. Then he and Sam return to the bouncer.
Wally: Okay, we're ready. We don't have any weapons, so here's all of our Poké Balls.
Wally turns in his Poké Balls, including Tynamo's empty ball, and then heads inside. The first thing Wally does is head up to the counter and ask about Leftovers.

[Sam (Telepathically): That bald guy by us is eying that young woman, thinking "Damn; that chick has quite a toned ass; I'd like to pinch it to see how much!" Meanwhile, she's thinking, "Wow; that guy looks like he's been working out a lot! Unfortunately, he smells like it, too!" Also, I agree.

Wally [thinking]: Okay, quick, scan her surface thoughts for a name. Any name of significance.

Sam (Telepathically): Her name is Crystal, and she's over here in Ore to study the rise and fall of Team Cypher. She's not much of a bar crawler, but this is the closest Raroon has to a restaurant.

Wally (thinking): Thanks, but I meant a name significant to her, like a sister or a friend. Hurry, buddy.

Sam (Telepathically): Professor Samuel Oak of Kanto is coming up in her thoughts. Also some crook called Mirror B.

Wally (thinking): That's good enough. Follow me and play along.
Wally approaches the young lady.
Wally: Hi, Crystal? I'm Wally. This is Sam. Professor Oak sent us. You're needed outside. If you'll follow me, please.
Wally holds out a hand to help her out of her chair.

Crystal: Hmm; he never told me about you two, but I guess we can talk.
Bouncer: Going so soon? Here's your Pokemon back.
[Outside]
Crystal: So what did you two want with me?

Wally: Okay, first of all, I'm sorry. I lied. Professor Oak didn't send us. The reason we know your name, and the fact that Oak has ties to you, is that my friend Sam here is psychic. We wanted to get you out here to warn you about the guy inside, the one you thought looked buff but smelled awful. He's making plans to possibly assault you. We don't want anything from you and we'll part ways here. I just wanted to make sure you knew so you could plan accordingly. Maybe you can tell the bouncer, there, to keep one eye on you or something. I dunno. It's up to you. Anyway, we're heading back in now but, like I said, we don't have to interact again in there. Okay? Have a great night. Sorry if we put you out any.
Wally heads back in to talk to the tapper about the vandalism of the Poké Mart.

Crystal: Thanks, although if it wasn't for you two knowing my name, I'd question whether Sam is really psychic or he just knows how hormones and alcohol work! Still, thanks. Let me do some things out here, and then I might come back in.
[Back inside]
Tapper: I don't know anything about vandalism of the Poke Mart, but I can't speak for my patrons here. But whatever's up, remember that alcohol doesn't program people into delinquents; it can only disinhibit people's natural urges. But no; this pro-booze sentiment doesn't mean I'll sell you minors some!

Wally: That's okay. I never touch the stuff myself. Thanks again for talking with us. We'll find an empty table. If any Leftovers come available, gimme a wave, would ya?
Wally leaves $5 on the bar and heads to sit down.
Wally: Alright, Sam. Just start scanning surface thoughts. Work your way from one side of the room and back. Keep going like that, just back and forth. Go slow. Take your time. Don't strain yourself. Maybe you'll pick up something to do with the poo on the Mart's wall.

Sam walks around the saloon. He gets some funny looks from people, but most don't seem to know he's a psychic. He comes back to Wally with a possible lead.
Sam [Telepathically]: That bald-headed guy over at the card table has some nasty thoughts about the Mart. He thinks the good beer is too expensive there, and that this saloon doesn't have his favorites!
