    Mareep and Yanma look surprised but pleased when you agree to join. You ask about the theft.



    "This is the only one that I've heard of," Mareep says. "I wonder if—oh, look, it's some Kanga—"

    Before Mareep can finish, something hard and strong collides with the back of your head. You fall to the ground in a daze and, after a moment, you look up to see what attacked you. One of the Kangaskhan from the storage facility is standing over you with her arms folded. It appears she's brought back-up.




    "Nice try, Mr. Zorleaf," she spits. "The Old Village just got back to us. Turns out there's no such thing as the Old Village Committee for Education, Preservation and Exploration and nobody was sent to check on the Old Village materials. Thought you could steal some rare books or artifacts, huh? Not gonna happen."

    The horde of Kangaskhan advance upon Rorschach. The Miltank workers and picketers look on in surprise.

    HOW DO YOU PROCEED?

    Ack, the concussion was uncalled for! Of course you were told it didn't exist, and that nobody was sent. That was all part of the security test! How you reacted to that information was how we were going to judge how good a job you were doing. i must say that smacking me about without warning is a bit harsh, but the amount of you that have come here after me, who is left guarding the books now?

    Rors, if any of them try anything like that again, Dark Pulse them.

    The Kangaskhan start scratching their heads as you give your reply.




    "So... so he's legit?" one of the Kangaskhan in the back row inquires.

    "Of course not!" the main Kangaskhan growls. "He's full of bunk! You can't seriously believe him, can you?"

    "Well... sort of," another says. "It's not the craziest thing in the world, is it? Those Old Village folks are smart and sneaky. Maybe this is part of some test? I don't want to lose my job because I beat up their security officer and his Hydreigon!"

    "Yeah, same here! You think this little tyke is cheap to feed?" yet another Kangaskhan asks, pointing at the joey in her pouch. "I need this job! It's worth it for the comprehensive dental plan alone!"

    "Okay, fine," the main Kangaskhan says, rolling her eyes, "but we're not gonna let him get away just in case he is a crook. Mr. Zorleaf, would you please come with us? We'll go back to the storage facility and get the Old Village Police Department to swing by and perhaps they can sort this whole mess out. We'll have to put you in a secure area until they arrive. Shouldn't take too long."

    I understand ladies, but I think I may be on to something here. If one of you wishes to accompany me then that's fine, but I think these protesters may know something about thefts in the area.

    Mareep, you were in the middle of saying something?

    You rebuff the Kangaskhan's attempt to bring you back to the storage facility, which only incites her ire. Some of the other Kangaskhan snicker. Apparently she's not used to having her authority questioned. She stands there glaring at you as you continue speaking with Mareep.



    "Well, I don't know anything about the transistor theft other than we didn't do it, to be honest," Mareep says, "but since you're sympathetic with the Pokemon Provenance Patrol, I was wondering if you wanted to come to our general membership meeting tonight? The info is on the pamphlet we gave you. The meeting ought to be very informative and we serve delicious refreshm—"

    "Sir, we're not going to stand here or follow you around like a bodyguard," Kangaskhan blurts out all of a sudden, unable to take it anymore. Her fellow Kangaskhan exchange amused whispers. "You've talked us down from beating the manicotti out of you, but we'd really like you to return to the facility with us until the Old Village Police Department can come and sort out who you really are."

    Ugh. Some folks are just annoying.

    "Well I'm not going to sit back and wait for the Old Village Police Force to get here. Do you know how long it will take? Too long I imagine. It's your choice. Mareep, I will of course be happy to attend your meeting."

    I'm going to have a read of the pamphlet as well.

    You fire a reply back at Kangaskhan and pull out the Pokemon Provenance Patrol's information pamphlet to give it a quick read. However, Kangaskhan snatches it clear out of your hand.




    "My choice, you say?" she asks, seething. "Fine, then you're coming with me. Either you're a thief and an impostor or you're the real deal and we'll have to work out a new way for you to conduct your security tests in the future. Ladies, tend to the Hydreigon."

    She grabs you by the wrist and begins dragging you back toward the storage facility. The other Kangaskhan start doing the same to Rorschach.

    Rorschach, Draco Meteor!
    Tandoori, come out and use Vacuum Wave on as many Kanga's as you can to free up Rors.

    As soon as Rors is free, we'll both jump on his back and fly up as high as necessary to get out of reach of the Kangas, and give enough room to dodge any beams they shoot up.

    Time to get feisty! You shout commands to Rorschach while grabbing Tandoori's Pokeball with your free hand. With a flash of light, your Blaziken takes to the field and flexes his muscles.

    "I knew it!" Kangaskhan shouts. "Impostor! You're as much of a security officer as I am a Psyduck!"

    Tandoori lets out waves of negative energy that fleetingly stun a few of the Kangaskhan. Meanwhile, Rorschach looks skyward and a meteor appears among the clouds. It shoots downward with tremendous speed, striking a few more Kangaskhan and knocking them to the ground. The damage is split evenly between the three of them. With that, Rorschach manages to escape their clutches and you try to hop upon his back, but the Kangaskhan clutching your wrist refuses to let go.

    Meanwhile, the attacked Kangaskhan regroup. They set their sights on Tandoori, who's also trying to mount Rorschach, but before he can do so successfully he's assaulted with nine Thunderbolts. Nine! Paralysis rips through his body. He collapses in a heap on the ground.

    As this goes on, the Pokemon Provenance Patrol look on in shock. They gulp.



    They then turn tail and begin sprinting away.

    Stop it!

    All right, I'm not a security officer, I admit it! I just need to do some research, and it was the only way I could think of to look at the books. But just look for a second, look how easy it was. Look at the fact that you've left the facility unguarded! There's something else going on here, with protests going on and the like. I can help you.

    You make a case for yourself.

    "Doesn't change the fact that you tried to defraud us into letting you gain access to a secure facility!" the Kangaskhan holding your wrist snarls. "That is a crime and when the Old Village Police—"

    "Oh, Nina, give it a rest," one of the other Kangaskhan says. "Weren't you just saying the other day how it's unfair that Pokemon trainers can't use the library books for research while the renovations are going on? He screwed up, clearly, but let's cut him some slack."

    "Some slack?" Nina repeats. "So you're saying he should go without punishment? Even though he attacked you?"

    "I think he was just trying to defend himself."

    "But—"

    "Listen, I'm tired and don't want to battle anymore. We're probably also disturbing the construction crew and we don't want the wrath of Chadwick W. Audino upon us," the other Kangaskhan replies. "He seems like a good kid and if he wants to do some research, let's just break the rules this one time and keep a close eye on him while he peruses the books so he can't try any funny business. Nobody has to know. And then we can be done with this nonsense."

    Nina looks livid. She does absolutely nothing for a few moments while her subordinates stare her down. Eventually, she lets go of your wrist and begins tromping back toward the storage facility. Looks like you're free to do what you want.

    OMG, thank you so much. I am sorry for attacking all of you, I hope there's no hard feelings!

    I'll recall Rors and Tandoori and accompany the Kangaskhan's back to the facility.

    Is Nina going to be ok with this? Is there some way I can apologise to her properly?

    "She gets like that sometimes," Kangaskhan replies, shrugging. "I'm she realizes she was overreacting. Just tread carefully around her and I don't think she'll get in your way. Apologize if you want, but she might still bite your head off. Figuratively, of course."

    When you get back to the facility, Nina is waiting at the door with her arms folded.



    "I'll be monitoring you closely while you do your research," she grunts. "Any funny business and I'm chucking you out, got it? Now, what exactly are you researching?"

    I'm looking for any past, or currently known locations for the legendary golem Registeel. I know that Regice was spotted on Ffefni Mountain, and Regirock was found in Crush Quarry, both of which are understandable as homes for them, but Registeel is something more difficult to assume a location for. So.. books on Legendary Pokemon perhaps, and maybe some kind of map of the Safari Zone?

    A satisfied smile curves across Nina's face when you tell her you're looking for information on Registeel.



    "Right this way, then," she says briskly.

    Nina leads you into the facility and down a narrow corridor lined with storage lockers. You walk for a moment in silence until she stops abruptly at one of the lockers. The letters "O.V.P.L.M." stamped on the front. With a grunt, Nina heaves the locker open and you step inside. The interior is actually quite massive and haphazard, filled with scattered stacks of books and crates and varying sizes. The ceiling is low and a few bare bulbs illuminate the room.

    You keep following Nina, winding down a tight pat between various stacks and crates. She leads you to one of the room's back corners.

    "This is the Old Village's collection on books related to Legendary Pokemon," Nina explains. "All the information you want should be here."

    Glancing around, you see various books spread out here and there. The closest are 492 Ways to Cook a Shaymin, Hungry Hungry Heatran, 010001000110010101101111011110000111100101110011, Suicune and Fifty Other Unpronounceable Words, Virizion: Pokemon or Cell Phone Company in Disguise?, Learn Mariachi with Jirachi and The Golem Chronicles.

    Nice place for the books. Better than my local library that's for sure. Hrmm.. as much as I'd love to read 010001000110010101101111011110000111100101110011 and get some insight, I know that pokemon isn't available otherwise I would be right in there. So I will have a look at The Golem Chronicles.

    I should probably have a quick look at the first two chapters, I'll peruse the pages for anything important, then skip to Chapter Three: Registeel.

    You spends a few minutes skimming the first two chapters. Nothing in particular jumps out at you. The book gives a good deal of general information about Regirock and Regice, including physical specifications, diet, behaviour and battle information. You can tell the book has been published fairly recently as it even lists Ayeun and Mike Mysterio as the only known trainers to ever capture them. Both chapters end by stating that it is unlikely Regirock and Regice will ever regenerate and reappear in the Safari Zone.

    You then flip to the third chapter. It provides the same sort of information about Registeel and there's nothing here that you couldn't find on Bulbapedia. However, the chapter ends rather differently than the previous ones:

    Unlike its counterparts, Registeel has never been captured or even spotted in the Safari Zone within living memory. Due to the devastating events that concluded the Golem Wars, its body was never fully salvaged. Only two parts were ever found. Though attempts have been made to locate the remaining parts, all have proved unsuccessful. (see: Chapter Five)

    Suddenly, you hear a gentle rattling noise. You try to determine the source and glance at Nina, who appears to be doing the same thing. However, within seconds, all goes silent once more.

    Not good. Skip to the Golem Wars, but the shaking is a little off putting. I'll keep my guard up, and Tandoori's pokeball close to hand. I know he's still recharging, but he's more likely to fit inside this little building that the other two.

    Ready to attack anything that might leap out from the stacks, you skip ahead to the chapter about the Golem Wars. It's quite long and looks pretty boring, but fortunately it's prefaced with a brief synopsis. You read it over.

    While most Legendary trios live in harmony with one another, directing their efforts toward mutual goals, the same cannot be said of the Legendary golems. Centuries ago, a powerful enmity existed between Regirock and Regice. The two golems grew territorial and wished to increase the scope of their respective domains to encompass the entirety of the Safari Zone. Regirock desired to expand Trolgar Mountain, paving over the oceans and surrounding plains with rocky terrain. Regice longed to expand Ffeffni Mountain, plunging the entire Safari Zone in a state of perpetual winter. Their battles, which comprised the period known as the Golem Wars, lasted for decades and caused significant damage to the Safari Zone.

    Powerless to stop them, the inhabitants of the Safari Zone turned to Registeel to end the dispute, though neither Regirock nor Regice would listen to their counterpart. Registeel implored them to summon Regigigas so that the Colossol Pokemon might arbitrate their disagreement, but neither Regirock nor Regice would consent to such terms. Eventually, the conflict came to a head during the final and most violent battle of the Golem Wars, which occurred in what was then a prominent and fertile valley. The battling powers of Rock and Ice had decimated nearly all of the surrounding area, irreparably damaging the valley's lush environment. Realizing that its counterparts were on the cusp of destroying the Safari Zone itself, Registeel drew their attention away from the battle by generating the most powerful, self-destructive Explosion in its arsenal. The attack blew the pieces of Registeel's body across the Safari Zone. Wracked with grief over Registeel's passing, Regirock and Regice declared armistice and fled to Trolgar and Ffeffni respectively to wait out their days. Centuries later, the valley—now known as the Scarred Wastelands—shows no signs of recovery and remains an inhospitable wasteland.

    The Golem Wars have long since concluded but there is no evidence Registeel will ever return. Only two pieces of Registeel's body have been located, though neither is functional. One lies in the possession of private collector C.W.A. while the other is safely stored within the Old Village Public Library and Museum for public exhibition. Though Regirock and Regice have been captured and removed from the Safari Zone, they will never regenerate unless Registeel is also caught, which at present would seem to be an impossibility.


    Suddenly, the rattling noise resumes, this time a little louder. You and Nina attempt to discern the source of the noise and you raise your Pokeball defensively, but the rattling once again comes to an end.

    HOW DO YOU PROCEED?

    You skip ahead to the chapter labelled Myths, though it seems to be more of a brief addendum than a chapter in itself.

    Perhaps because of their fascinating history, the Legendary golems attract much speculation and three myths have entered public circulation. However, given the lack of confirmation and the dubious sources from which these myths take their shape, experts on the subject believe "rumours" may be a more accurate term.

    The first rumour comes from a Dunsparce from the Old Village who, while making breakfast one morning, found Registeel's likeness burnt into his piece of toast. He claims his toast contains the living reincarnation of Registeel, but his children insist he is "just full of bunk." The Dunsparce offered to sell his toast to the Head Curator of the Old Village Public Library and Museum for what he claimed to be a rather reasonable price, but the Head Curator denied the offer. Her official statement on the matter was, "No, that's stupid."

    The second rumour comes from a Flaaffy from Skyline Terrace who claims that if she stares into a mirror and says the words "Bloody Golem" three times over all of the Legendary golems will jump out and give her a high-five. When asked whether she was making it up, she claimed that to be preposterous. When asked to substantiate her claim, she changed the subject and started talking about the weather.

    Finally, the third and most dubious rumour comes without a source. It describes the creation of facsimile golems known as Regimitations. According to this rumour, if one can build artificial golems from the proper materials and imbibe them with the precise amount of current and electronic frequency, these artificial golems can then be brought to life with all the abilities of their counterparts. While a few experts are quite concerned about this rumour as the Regimitations, if real, could be quite powerful—and, moreover, may even be used to summon Regigigas—it, like all the others, lacks any sort of confirmation.


    The rattling then resumes and it's quite loud this time. You glance down at the crate labelled "VALUABLE" and see that it's shaking about.

    HOW DO YOU PROCEED?

    Mental note that Skyline Terrace and Old Village might be good places to look for Registeel's remains (along with the Nevshard Badlands), but for now.

    "Nina, that rattling is coming from inside this box."

    The crate continues to rattle and Nina looks perplexed.



    "I'm not sure what could be inside of it," Nina says. "As far as I know, none of the museum artifacts are supposed to, uh, move like that. I'd open it, but that might be dangerous. I'll go to the front office and see if I can find the document that lists everything that was shipped to us. Maybe I can figure out what's inside. You wait here. And don't touch anything!"

    With that, Nina hurries away. The rattling continues.

    Lets wait until Nina has gone from the room, then..

    "Hey, if you're in that box rattling around and you can hear and understand me listen up. It's just me and you in here now, and I'm not going to hurt you or anything. So if you want to come out, you can. But if Nina (that's the moody Kangaskhan that's just left) catches you, then you're going to be in a whole world of pain, trust me I know (she punched me!).

    Unless you're not a pokemon rattling around in the box, in which case the worst I'm doing is talking to myself, and I do that most of the time anyway."

    Once Nina has left the room, you speak to the thing inside the crate. The rattling stops while you talk and you can only assume that whatever's inside is listening to you. When you're finished speaking the rattling resumes and it's accompanied by a loud knocking noise. It sounds like the thing inside the crate is trying to bust free. However, since the crate looks to be nailed shut, you're not sure how successful it will be.

    OK, woah there. The crate is sealed. Don't try bursting out until we know you're safe. You can obviously hear me, so can you speak to me through the box?

The area is deserted except for a distant pack of cats sauntering up the street in your direction. They don't seem to have noticed you just yet.

    You're not sure what you're conversing with so you tell the thing inside the crate not to break out just yet. You then ask whether it can speak to you. You pause and wait for a reply, but one doesn't come. Guess that's a no.

    Urgh, though it does sound tempting to have a little chat with the crew, they might be up to no good after all, who knows.

    I guess I'll just go check out one of the houses!
    If Veggies is out, I better recall him, he's not so good in fitting into spaces that narrow and would make a lot of noises, scaring Pokémon away.
    Anyway, the other two should be aware and look out for potential poison and normal types.

    (Now that I think about it, searching for a normal type at the Old Village wasn't my best idea yet xD)

    Recalling Venusaur for now, you wind up one of the garden paths toward a derelict mansion. You open the door, step inside and find yourself in a mildewed Victorian-style drawing room. You inhale through your nose and realize everything smells like, well, like urine. Lovely. Absolutely lovely.

    The room seems to be empty. There's a set of stairs leading up to a floor above and a doorway leading to another room. Both paths look like they'll take you into darkness.

    Carlos, you might as well send out a weak flash, to ensure we see a little bit, afterwards, we'll go for the stairs!

    You issue a command to Carlos. Your charming Slowpoke tilts his head and takes a second to process your instruction before lighting a brilliant Flash. Ahh! Much better! With that, you take the stairs up to the next level. When you reach the landing, you find yourself staring down a long hallway lined with doors. Your stomach lurches as you glance down at the floor and realize every inch is positively covered with Bugs.

    Oh god no, this is like literally starting to get all the nasty things together. DON'T LOOK CARLOS! DON'T LOOOOK! WE GONNA MAKE A RUN FOR IT! Not even going to step into one of these doors, I just want to know what's at the end. If there's nothing at all, we might as well just head for one of the doors! Also, Erandal'e, don't forget to keep an eye out for the ceiling. Who knows what's going to lurk there.

    You take a step forward but there's nowhere for you to step that is not already occupied by a Spinarak. As a result, your foot comes down on one of the green Bugs, which lets out a ear-splitting squeal. Quick as can be, the Spinarak extracts itself from the underside of your shoe and sprays a String Shot around your ankles. With your legs bound together, you wobble for a second and then crash to the ground. You land on a bunch more more Spinarak which get to work covering the rest of you in string.



    Welp, at least you're off to an eventful start.

    Well. Shit.
    "I'm sorry for stepping onto you- uhm, Spinarak I guess? We are just passing by."

    Also, Carlos, prepare for a big and flashy escape, while Erandal will set me free with a wing attack. If we have to run because the Spinarak are immune to reason or just don't want to talk, I want you, Carlos, to unleash a strong flash, when Erandal'e set me free I'll recall Carlos, because he's more the slow-kinda-guy.
    BACK TO THA CHO... STAIRCASE!

    You try to appeal to the Spinarak's sense of reason, but they aren't listening. They bind your arms to your body with string, leaving your Pokemon to help you make a successful getaway. Carlos dazes them with a Flash while Erandal'e slices and dices your bindings with his wing, allowing you to wiggle free. You pull yourself up and make a break for the stairs. You can hear the creepy critters chasing after you.

    Shoot! I need something that only inhibits caves and dark places, so I won't come around staying in that house. I'll run down the stair case and go for the door way we saw earlier.

    With Carlos continuing to light the way, you hurry through the doorway and find yourself in a dusty old kitchen. An upturned table with three legs lies near a wall while the counter is covered in mould and Pokemon droppings. You can still hear the Spinarak hurrying down the steps in the other room and there doesn't seem to be anywhere here to hide. You see another doorway on the opposite side of the room leading elsewhere and a short door with a heavy latch that seems to lead into a basement or pantry of some sort.
