"Agreed." Shoko gladly takes Adrian's offer while taking in a breath of the fresh air. "We must contact the professor as soon as possible to transfer these to him," Shoko pulls out one of the many spheres that the inkay manifested from. "Or maybe those corporate researchers might want to poke their heads into this thing's nature. I find it no different in the end, though I suppose I'll call the professor first. Sound about right Mirk?"
Mirk playfully bops his nose against her cheek, affirming her decision. The pair wait for Adrian to take them back to land then turns to the others and asks, "Let's get a room shall we? Our wounds are not inconsequential."

Evie calls out Caravelle, and the Wailmer bobs up and down in the water happily - though she gives the new people a cautious look and needs a comforting hand to stay entirely calm. "I can give a lift too. Save some time."
Once they're all back on the shore and discussing things, Evie nods slowly. "The Prof'll want to know first. He'll probably get sarcastic if we talk to somebody before him. Who are these corporate guys, Dispatern?" She hadn't heard that anybody had been showing an interest - she assumes that if the others saw anybody it was before she and Cassandra came in. "Rest sounds good after that."

Yeah I agree with contacting the professor. We can probably make use of the Center's network to contact him and transfer what we found.Then yeah, resting up sounds like a really good idea. Karla says, rubbing a sore area on her side. She starts to head for the Center, eager to get the strange stuff sent away, and herself looked at.

"We need to report in regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter, so let's get our facts straight, shall we? We know that there was a Ghost-Typed Inkay seemingly in charge down there, and that the Red Shards animated/awoke a bunch of Ground-Type Koffing. What else do we know?"

Horace snaps out of his silence with his aura finally disappearing. He looks around shaking his head, "When did we leave the temple?" He asks inquisitively, "Either way contacting the professor should be our first priority. He is the one who hired us right? I didn't read the contract." After returning to land Horace quickly gets healed up before attempting to relax for the rest of the day.

"Oh don't forget the two barriers locking that chamber down. You know, the ones Shoko and Horace obliterated." Karla says, smirking at the thought of the Shoko-style investigation technique employed earlier.

"So that Inkay's not a mutant. Or not from this round, anyway." Evie looks puzzled. She might have been born in Sinnoh, but her parents weren't natives and she doesn't have all the same folklore in her background. "Anyone know stories about this happening before? A long time ago...?"

As soon as everyone is finally on land, Shoko immediately makes for the pokemon center. Along the way, she considers what to do with the various spheres. It would be dangerous if the Inkay got loose and attacked people. "The professor would probably like to know about this Inkay manipulating those shards." Shoko remained annoyed at losing a few of the shards she found. At least she retrieved a few of them, but she was still rather pissed off at the Inkay.
The pokemon center remained as her priority as she picked up the pace, slowing only to continue to hear her companions speak. She began planning her next steps already. "Drop them off for some healing. Maybe she has some better bandages for my side. Then we'll contact the professor. Deal with Inkay. Rest. Dammit Mirk that tickled. Rest." She wasn't in the mood to smile, but Mirk would not have it.
His tail continued to gently press at her ribs, with only enough pressure to cause Shoko to lose her stern look before she flicked his forehead. Mirk playfully launched his head backwards as if her gesture came with some force and let it fall back. He was now limp over her shoulder with his tongue out as if knocked out. "You aren't funny Mirk." He poked her with his tail again to remind her that yes, yes he was actually hilarious. And as much as she'd rather not acknowledge it, she wasn't as annoyed as she was earlier and unseen to her companions behind her, a slight smile began to form.

Once you reach the pokemon centre you all get proper medical attention, with the nurse saying she should force you all to have several days bedrest. Nonetheless you manage to contact Professor Rowan and relay what you've found.
"So the temple has been flooded again. I suppose that'll keep it safe for now. Did any of you think to capture on of the clay koffings?" The professor asks once you've explained the basic events.

"They fainted rather quickly when pressed... we didn't really have the chance. Plus we were pretty distracted by the Inkay." Karla says, though she is actually embarassed that they had neglected to even grab a fainted one.

"An Inkay made that undoubtedly difficult, Professor. We did at least manage this." Shoko displays the various spheres that the Inkay left behind that she brought back. "The inkay seems to be housed in these. It was quite an interesting specimen Professor. It exhibited various anomalies analogous to other pokemon influenced by the shards. It behaves aggressively so I suggest you prepare a containment unit should the Inkay awaken after recovering. It is currently unconscious, so it remains uncaptured. Can you provide transportation for this back to your lab or are your resources stretched thin at the moment?"
Shoko awaits his response but makes way for the rest of the team to talk to the professor first, should they have anything to add.

Cassandra shakes her head. "I was under the impression it was an investigative mission, not a collection mission. In the future, however, I shall make an effort to collect any strange or Chain-Affected Pokemon we encounter and send them to you whenever I get an opportunity."

"Also they exploded when they went down." Evie leans in over the shorter women's shoulders. Dryly, she adds, "Might still be some that didn't activate down there. Don't think most divers will risk a space that tight, though. Maybe if we run into another ruin." She's not sure where else they would find one, admittedly. For all that Sinnoh is practically carpeted in ancient ruins, this one seemed pretty unique.

The professor listens to your explanations with a nod.
"Of course circumstances in the field can render it impossible to achieve the best case scenario. But good work recovering the Inkay and the slivers of crystal - there'll be a helicopter there to transport them here within the hour. Feel free to accompany them or take a few days to relax. And in future Cassandra, mutated pokemon will always be valuable test subjects and as such should be treated as targets of opportunity - don't hurt yourself trying to acquire them, but please don't ignore them. It is for their own sake; the more we know about mutations the better we can treat the inevitable complications."

Cassandra nods curtly. "Noted, Professor. I'll be sure to trap as many as possible for study. What is the next mission to be?"

"Not sure these were mutants. More like constructs. They looked like balls of clay until the Inkay turned up... apart from the one funny man here put in the circle. That one woke up the Golett and the Sigilyph too." Which says something about the origins of Sigilyph, maybe. "Something weird about those ruins. We know anybody who knows about this stuff?"

Shoko nods before saying farewell to the professor. She waits until the other finish with the professor before turning to the group, "shall we return with the Inkay, it would allow us a quick return to continue our journey elsewhere. However, there may be more to see here; although that's not certain."

"I had a bit of a wander around before messing with the temple, I'm happy enough to move on. I know you guys didn't, so I don't mind staying a while longer."

Professor Rowan looks you each in the eye before nodding and smiling. "It is easy to offer criticisms after the fact and even easier to witness your own mistakes. But we should not forget that you succeeded at your task with no lasting harm caused to yourselves. This is certainly something to be celebrated and rewarded. I am transferring your reward to you now - please enjoy rest. Farewell."He says before ending the call. A few moments later your pokedexes beep - you've each received 8000P from the Professor. The next morning you are all free to pursue whatever goal you choose, though you've each received the same email. Greetings Professor Rowan has informed me that you and your friends have uncovered the most intriguing lead yet in the ongoing investigation of the Red Chain. Though I will be provided with a copy of his research, I find that I am eager to hear what occurred in your own words. If you are willing to meet with me, I am certain we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
Ceres of Dispatern Industries.

That's certainly a nice sum. Karla thinks when she sees the payment. She gos then to rest and relax for the rest of the day after that whole mess. The next morning she sees the email. This better not be any political BS. They're both on the same task force right? I suppose this might not be conflicting, but if it is I don't really want to be in the middle. Maybe I should avoid this... I guess I'll see what the others opt to do.
