"Hmmmm...Maybe I need an Electric Type to do something to this wall...?" Yue ponders.

Poking and prodding at the wall, Yue finds a couple of things. One, the outline of a door. It's currently unable to be opened. Two, a small metal plate hidden inside the wall behind a movable brick.

Yue takes the egg from Hearth and send her in to try and open the door from the other side.

Hearth goes on through the wall, but comes back only a minute later, expressing there is no way to open it from the inside that it can find. Clearly there must be a way, but the poor Lampent couldn't find one.

"It's okay Hearth, you did your best." Yue says, giving the Lampent a pat on the head. She the returns her attention to the wall, running her hands over ever inch of it to try and find something else to interact with.

Rei gives a sly ‘Byeeee’ to Sabine as Yue drags her away. That’s a pin for later. But now Yue is trying to get through a wall the map says is the electric branch. She’s about to swear yue to secrecy and phase through, but it seems she’s got a little ghost of her own. Rei stays back for now.

Yue's roaming hands eventually find something new. A button, it seems. It is pressed in with a faint 'click!', but nothing else happens. Maybe there's more than one? Yue swears she hears a voice whisper 'no, to your left! -zzt!' when she tries to find another button. Following the voice's instructions (because it's better than searching at random), Yue does indeed find another button to the left of the first. With further instruction, Yue is eventually able to find all 5 buttons, which are spread out just far enough that she can't reach them all with one hand while holding them down. (The voice also told her the secret is to do just that: press all the buttons at once)
Rei merely gets to watch as Yue slowly puzzles out the 'entrance exam' for Electric Branch. At long last, the final button sequence is entered (there were three sets that Yue had to memorize, or it'd reset) and the door opens with a fain 'woosh!'.

Excited, Yue steps through the door to see what's on the other side.

On the other side is...just a hallway. A long, brightly lit hallway. Well, there's a door at the far end, so let's go!
10 minutes of walking later
Wow, that took awhile! Welp, at least this door is unlocked. Right? *Bzzt!* Yue's hand gets shocked when she grabs the doorknob. This causes her muscles to contract instinctively and she gets a nasty shock for about three seconds before the current shuts off. It doesn't hurt too bad, but now her arm is numb.
"Zzt~! That was fun, huh?" The voice says in Yue's ear again.

Rei just watched but Sol laughs at Yues antics and when she gets shocked.

"Okay, I have to admit you got me pretty good there..." Yue says, being a good sport about it even though she wasn't particularly happy with being shocked like that. She starts pinching her numb arm to try and get feeling back into it, before grabbing the now un-electrified handle and opening the door. "But you can't honestly expect me to just laugh off an electric shock, can you? If you had done something that wasn't painful, then I'd be laughing."

"Zzt~! But that's what makes it fun! It's shocking!" There is silence in the room, and one could swear they heard kricketots chirping. "Okay, that was bad, I'm sorry. Zzzt~."
A ghosty-girl Rei may be, but even she cannot see an invisible Pokemon. If ever a one there was. Instead, all it looks like is that Yue is holding a one-sided conversation with the air. The door opens into a much more normal room. Some people lounging about, some tinkering with strange things that Yue has never seen before (Poke Bots). There is a Pikachu and a Pachirisu racing one another around the room as well.

Yue actually snickers a bit at the pun, before stopping short when she sees the two adorable electric rodents. "Oh...Oh my goodness! They're so cute!" Yue says walking up to get a closer look.

Rei raises an eyebrow at Yue talking to ‘someone’ that seems to be helping her.
”Hey Yue, who ya talkin to?”
While she waits for a response, Rei takes a look around.

Being in the same room, Rei sees mostly the same things as Yue. The one thing she notices that Yue might not (by way of 'distraction via cute electric rodents') is that several people in the room are discreetly watching them. Doesn't seem to be any ill intent, just mild curiosity.

Yue slowly approaches the Pikachu and Pachirisu so as not to spook them. "Hello there~" She says with a gentle tone.

Rei approaches one of the onlookers and explains the situation for Yue, hoping to find someone to go over the branch with her.

As Yue approaches, the electric rodents zip just out of reach. When Yue takes a couple shuffling steps forward to reach out again, the repeat the action. Apparently, they want to play keep away. In the meantime, Yue has apparently not heard Rei's query concerning her conversation partner.
Based solely on appearances, Electric Branch seems to be the most tech-focused group within the Guild. There are many interesting objects that people are working on, and even what appears to be a metal Pokemon. The person Rei ends up talking to about the Branch merely hands her a list of things that the Electric Branch does. The list is quite narrow, but very technical. Rei has never even seen half of these words before. If this is how the majority of the branch is, it probably would not be a good fit for the hyperactive Yue.

"So that's your game, eh? Alright, game on!" Yue laughs, as she starts earnestly trying to catch them.

Rei thanks the person and takes the list back over to Yue, scratching her head.
