The Rotom Pokedex tilts its head to one side quizically. "I'm not sure what you mean by that," it says. "If by 'on your side' you mean I'll tell you everything you need to know about Pokemon you encounter, then yes, I guess I am!"

"I am called Rotom, little boy!" Rotom replies. Looking around, it spots the frolicking green Pokemon outside and scans it with its camera for a moment before turning to you. The screen shows an image of the Pokemon before Rotom says: "Cradily, the Barnacle Pokemon. A Grass and Rock type. Cradily used to live in warm oceans and on beaches long ago. Its heavy body and suction cups prevented it from being washed away by rough weather."

Ira hums for a moment. "Alright, so you're a pokemon encyclopedia. Not sure why we need a ghost for that, but alright. You do anything else?"

"I got a camera function!" Rotom turns, snaps a picture of Ira, and turns back, the screen showing a high-definition picture of Ira's face.

"hm... I don't think it could hurt. It would be useful to have someone around that knows a lot about the local pokémon." Elise started to think out loud.
"Yup that's my brother's face alright." Elise said as the Rotom showed the picture of Ira.

Ira rolls his eyes a little, then nods. "Alright, I guess you're okay to come with us. Just... don't try anything funny, kay?"
Turning back to the professor. "Okay, anything else we need?"

Kukui rustles through another drawer before pulling out what look like three passports. "These mark you as official participants in the Island Challenge," he says. "As you win more victories in the Island Challenge, you'll get the insides stamped as proof of your wins." Hau, who has been standing by and watching this whole time, pulls out his own Trainer Passport and shows it to you; inside, you see the stamps proving his victories in the Island Challenge, as well as several others you don't recognize. Kukui continues: "If you want to catch Pokemon, I recommend Route 1; it's just north of the beach, you can't miss it."

"Whoa, whoa, hold on a minute, there, hero." Ira says, standing his ground, his sleeve popping out of Kane's grip. It hurts a little to dampen his mood, but Ira does have one more bit of business here.
"Anyway, Professor, if there's nothing else we need for the challenge, I was wondering if you could do me a favour?" He looks to the nearest window at the beach outside. "I've been looking for a dowsing rod - I hear this region's good for shard-hunting - and Hau said you might be able to point me in the right direction."

Kukui thinks for a moment or two, and then says "Yeah, there's a girl about your age- Acerola, I think- who lives on Ula'ula Island, in the southeast. I believe she has a few she'd be willing to part with."

Ira hums, recalling what he'd read about Alola. "Southeast... that's two islands over." He grimaces a little. "Not exactly a quick trip round the corner, but I suppose we'll get there eventually. In the meantime, I'll just... figure something out."

"Come on Ira!" Elise said as she grabbed her older brother's other arm to tug him along towards route 1.
"We'll find that rod eventually! Let's go!" She added after hearing her brother asking for one.

"If you want to go to Ula'ula, why not use a Ride Pokemon?" Hau chimes in. Then, realizing you don't know what he's talking about, he elaborates: "Ride Pokemon are Pokemon specially raised to transport people from one island to another, as well as help people get around the more rugged portions of the islands."

Ira nods. "Well, it's something to keep in mind. In the meantime, I get the distinct impression I'm wanted at Route 1."
He waves as he turns and walks out. "Thanks for the help, Professor. Unless you've tried to trick us, set us up or give us something dangerous, then I'll have to come back and deal with you." He continues as if simply stating a known fact. "Bye"
As he leves with his siblings, he turns toward Route 1. "Right, let's get catching."

"ugh... I apologize for my brother professor... He means well." Elise says after Ira left the room before following them towards route 1.

Kukui smiles and nods as he bids you farewell. He's clearly one cool customer, completely unfazed by Ira's eccentricities. Following Hau, you arrive at Route 1, which is... directly next to the beach. It winds lazily next to high cliffs, overlooking the ocean to the east. To the south, you see the beach, Hau'oli City, and a rough hill Hu identifies as Ten Carat Hill (there's no gold there.) The Route goes north to another beach and a small town. To the west, the hill slopes down into jungle terrain before opening up to Hau'oli City; your view of anything else is blocked by the jungles. There are a few people on the route. Most seem to be tourists, snapping pictures, but there are some who look like trainers, poking through the rougher parts of the route looking for Pokemon.

"Ira look! Trainers! They might lead us to some pokemon! Should we follow them? We should follow them! We should follow them right?! . . . Should we follow them?"
