"It's more than my zero crowns, Clay!"
Rei laughs to herself.

Tiki makes a few stops at some shops to stock up. She also goes to the Guild's 'Counting House' to turn in the note she got from the scary lady. Tiki wasn't to happy about this, the others might not agree either, but she had a feeling that some more money was gonna be needed. She just hopes they wont be too disappointing in using "dirty" money....
She then returns to the group, well stocked up, and ready to go.

All stocked up once again, the party marches on towards Cerulean Cape Town, with Tiki leading the group in a traveling song. It takes no more than a few hours to get there, making it around Noon when everyone arrives. Now all that's left is to decide what to do first. The Ground Leader led Sano and Rei to believe that the issue with the Guardian should be a priority, but isn't necessarily life-threatening at present (though escalation is a possibility if left alone for too long). Despite its small size, the port town of Cerulean is quite the busy place (at least around the pier). Sailors and dock workers are all busy doing something, and ships seem to be coming in and out of the harbor with some frequency.

Tiki takes in the smell of the nearby ocean. She spins, looks at her friends, and continues to walk backwards. "We are here, everyone! What do we wanna do first!? Look around? Do our mission stuff? Go to the beach!?!?!" Tiki cant seem to be still as she moves around excitedly.

Rei looks down at Tiki from atop Raido, trying to focus in on her hyper bf moving about the place.
"Perhaps the beach will be a reward after a job well done. Maybe we should do some information hunting first? We have to do some asking around about the poachers. I remember Lady Genevieve did say that Cerulean didn't have the resources to stop them but I'm betting the local authorities might at least have some info or at least something to go off of. Maybe we could split up for now, and someone could handle the soil collecting, and someone could find the diggers and talk to them, maybe make them stop before we even talk to the guardian, wouldn't that be wonderful? And then someone else can head to the local authorities. Does that sound good?"

It almost looks and feels like Tiki is being crushed under the weight of disappointment she is feeling. "Oooooookkaaaaayyyyy........I guess I feel like going to talk to the miners to stop upsetting the guardian then."

"I'm sorry Tiki, we'll all go when there's a good chance to, ok?"
Rei turns to Clay and Sano.
"There's only three tasks and four of us and I believe someone should go with Tiki to help her convince them. I'll go if neither of you like to, but I'd prefer if one of you went. If the last couple of days have proven, I'm not 'that' great at convincing people or pokemon of anything."

Clay wrinkles his nose. "I'm better with Pokémon than people, but I can back her up. Anything you didn't already say that we should know to tell them?" He glances over at Sano. "Unless you'd rather go since you talked to the Ground guy. But I gotta say I have no clue how you take these sample things he wanted us to get."

"I'm most comfortable with the soil, if that's alright. The conversation with the miners should hopefully be pretty easy, and Tiki is good at convincing people."

Tiki scratches her head. "Hmmm...Maybe Clay would be used better by going with Rei. I can go talk to the authorities then. Now quickly! So we can go to the beach!!" Tiki runs off quickly. She soon runs back to the group. Jogging in place, "...I've never been here. Where are they?"

"Alright Sano, we'll let you take that one."
Rei turns to Tiki.
"Well I don't think any of us have, so maybe it might be best to ask around?"

Tiki gives a salute, and runs off, again. First things first, ask local citizens of the location of the local authorities.

Sano bids the group good luck and pulls out the list, making a brief inventory of the locations.

SanoThe list's description of locations are rather vague, but with enough thought, they shouldn't be too hard to decipher. There are five locations listed, and you are provided with small scoops for collecting the samples; one for each tube. Oddly enough though, some of them have specific times of day listed. - Collect soil from around the roots on the North side of a tree that sits upon a hill, while the sunlight touches only the lower branches.
- Collect soil of a sandy consistency from around a lone rock.
- Collect the dried mud slung by a Pokemon that looks like a crab. Make sure it is no more than 3 hours old upon collection.
- Next, you must collect soil from a hidden grotto near the base of Mt. Moon while the moon shines directly overhead.
- Finally, take a sample of soil from the heart of the forest to the North of Cerulean.
TikiTiki is able to find some helpful citizens that point out the people she needs to talk to. Approaching one garners the following response: "Huh? What is it you need, Outsider?"

Rei turns to Clay as the others dodge responsibilities run off to do their tasks.
"I suppose that leaves you and me for the diggers."
She hopes off of Raido, beams a smile at Clay, and begins walking through the city and then west toward Mt Moon.

"Guess so!" Clay nods to Sano, waves at Tiki's rapidly-disappearing back, and turns to follow Rei. "Actually on familiar territory now. So, uh, do you know where exactly these diggers are? I mean, Mt. Moon's kind of... big."

"From how it sounded, they were digging through from this side to the other, so I would suspect going straight west and following any worn path they may be making on their back and forth is our best option. After all, if you were to pick a path to dig for a city, you'd pick something aligned with the town, right?"

Tiki wanders around until she is finally able to locate Team Clei. She happily runs over to join them. "Guysguysguys! I did my job! Have you found the miners yet!?"

Rei looks around in surprise.
"We still haven't even got there... Just how fast are you Tiki?"

Tiki beams. "Reallllllyyyyy fast!" She waves around a little paper. "I got some info on the poachers! There are rumors that they're operating out of the woodlands to the South and West from here; in the shadow of Mt. Moon...Whatever that means...But anyways, lets find us some miners!"
