Zo nods curtly at the librarian's question, a look of concern and puzzlement on his face. If he wanted to get that flashdrive without the librarian noticing, he needed the man up and moving away from the desk quick. As such, he needed a distraction. "Uhm... I don't mean to disturb you, sir, but... would you perhaps be capable of shedding light on a mystery I believe I've come across? I believe that I have come across a rather ancient looking book in one of the bookshelves, sitting quite out of place amongst the newer books. I couldn't quite tell what language it was written in, but it was quite clear to me that such an old book probably doesn't belong in the school library. I'd have brought it with me, but I daren't move it, as I didn't know in what state the book was in, and I didn't want to have it crumble to dust the moment I touched it." He points to the corner with bookshelves furthest from where they were currently located. "I could show you it right now, if you wish?"

The librarian seems very surprised, but quickly rises from his seat, walking out from behind the desk to follow Zo. “Yes, yes. Lead the way!”

Zo leans casually against the table, his right hand coincidentally right on top of the flash drive as he makes a grand sweeping gesture with his left arm, pointing to the bookcases. "Very well then, follow me!" He walks off, but not before taking the drive and sneaking it into his back pocket in a swift motion. Once he has reached his destination, he makes a great show of looking the shelves over as if searching for something, becoming more and more frantic as time went on, muttering things under his breath like "I could've sworn... How in the blazes..." and so on. Finally, he turns around to the librarian, worry and confusion apparent on his face. "It was here, I swear, really, the book stood right there. I ... I don't know what's happening. I'm losing my mind, it feels like... Sweet Uxie, I feel like I'm going mad..." he stops to 'think' for a moment, taking a deep breath as to regain his composure. "Maybe... maybe someone's playing a trick on me? Yeah, that must be it, right?" his voice is almost pleading when he asks this. "I know that there is at least one Zorua running around here, maybe it was simply an illusion... yeah, that's probably it... I'm sure to have wasted your time on this, sir."

The librarian, while staying calm and composed, obviously is completely buying Zo’s act. His eyes are focused on the boy while he searches. “Don’t worry. It’s completely alright. Illusions trick us all occasionally, after all. I’ll take another look myself soon, just in case. Did you need anything else?” He says, assuring the young man that he isn’t going crazy. Zo has gotten the flashdrive! Zo gains 1 TXP!

Zo shakes his head at the librarian's question. "No, I've gotten everything I need. Thanks and again, I'm sorry for wasting your time. Good day."
With that, he walks out of the library as fast as he can without drawing any untoward attention, heading straight to where he had agreed to meet with Trista.

When Zo gets to the Pokemon Center, its quite empty, aside from a single nurse and a grizzled looking young man with a bipedal blue pokemon by his side. The pokemon has small black ears and large white whiskers along with a scowl on its face and its arms crossed over two small seashells on its sides. “Xiao, has anything else come in about the poachers?” He asks gruffly. “Nothing yet. Maybe with all those new students around, they’ll stumble upon something.” The nurse replies calmly. “As long as its not spreading…” He trails off a bit before noticing Zo behind him. “Sorry.” He says before turning back to the nurse. “We’ll talk later.” He and his pokemon cooly walk out through the door while the nurse starts speaking to Zo. “Sorry about that! What can I do for you today?” You can roll Pokemon Edu with a DC of 5 to recognize that hot Dewott and Perception if you’d like to notice more details about this mysterious man.

“Alright, let me just check your Pokedex and I can do that for you.” After taking Zo’s pokedex, the woman disappears into the back and returns moments later with a pokeball. She hands both items back to Zo with a smile. “Here you go! Was there anything else you needed help with?”

Zo smiles and accepts the Pokéball. At the nurse's question, he shakes his head. "No, that's all." He begins to move away, before turning back, snapping his fingers. "Actually... I couldn't help overhearing you talk with that guy with the Dewott, about poachers in the area? Anything you could tell me about that?"

The nurse purses her lips and pauses for a moment before regaining her composure. “Oh that’s nothing to be concerned about. He’s a pokemon ranger and he’s conducting an investigation in the area. There’s not much you could do about it, except let any of the nurses here know if you come across any traps.”

Zo nods. "Very well. I shall keep my eye out. Good day."With that, he leaves the building, starting to move back to campus before he changes his mind, deciding to take a quick exploratory walk through town. Encounter Roll: HDGKkMBU1d100 1d100

In a more residential area of the town, Zo comes across two Pokemon huddled together. One looks to be a pool of purple goo while the other is a small, human-like Pokemon with a purple body. They stiffen at Zo’s appearance, clearly scared of him. There is a Poke Edu DC of 5 to recognize both the Tyrogue and Grimer.

The grimer makes threatening bubbling sounds at Zo, clearly showing how it feels about him and his attempts to placate it. The tyrogue tries to hide itself behind the grimer, but it doesn’t work so well. The tyrogue is still quite visible, it’s just also a bit gooey now. You failed to raise the disposition of the Tyrogue and Grimer.

Zo sighs, and slowly approaches the pair, palms still outstretched. "Listen, I really don't mean you any harm. I'm just passing through, and you guys looked cold is all."

As Zo approaches, the pokemon back away and make a few threatening noises. They don’t seem to want anything to do with Zo, or at least, they don’t want him to come any closer.

Zo raises his hand, backing off. "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll be going." With that, he very purposefully walks backwards and away from the pair, before turning around and taking another route. Encounter Roll: HODv58hQ1d100 1d100

Zo wanders around the town, but the only pokemon he’s able to come across are those belonging to someone else. It seems like the morning rush of people headed to their jobs has scared most of the wild pokemon back to their hiding places.

Zo slowly meanders his way back to the school, leisurely strolling back and towards the cafeteria.
