Hrm. It was dawn when you arrived at Tranquil Shores... and then you swam to the Aqueous Ruins... and then came back... and then walked all the way to Hunter's Cove... and then flew here... um, maybe mid-to-late afternoon? How you have not died from thirst/hunger/sleep deprivation is anyone's guess.

You decide to go to the dining hall next.
"Right this way," Sister Catharti says.
She takes you through another winding assortment of corridors that eventually bring you into a large room with rows of long tables.
"Dinner won't be for a couple more hours, but there are some small edibles to tide you over in the meantime," Sister Catharti says, gesturing at a table of finger sandwiches and other goods. "All of the Prophets dine at the same time. Dinner will likely be your first opportunity to catch a glimpse of the High Priest and High Priestess, who dine at the table at the front of the room."

hmm...
"I'm curious, just who are the high priest and high priestess exactly? I've heard them be called such, but their identities always seem to be in mystery."
If it's some cryptic answer I get, let's have a look at the living quarters next after I get a snack.
BTPOKE'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!
LOCATION: • scarred wasteland MODE: • classic CATCHES: • n/a
• ROUND ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX •
You ask about the High Priest and High Priestess.
"The High Priest and High Priestess are two most splendid and wonderful Wobbuffet," Sister Catharti says, sighing wistfully. "They founded the Prophets of Arceus many years ago. Without their compassion, thoughtfulness, charisma, beauty, charm, empathy, intelligence, physical strength, ingenuity, dedication, vigilance, loyalty, innovativeness and above-average body odour, our organization would be nothing. Being a Prophet of Arceus can be hard work, and requires many hours of back-breaking chores each day, but it's worth it to please the High Priest and High Priestess and, by extension, Arceus Himself, who watches over us."
You then ask to see the living quarters. (So much for being famished!) Sister Catharti leads you out of the dining hall and down a long corridor that ends with three doors, one marked "Male," another marked "Genderless," and a third marked "Female."
"The living quarters are divided by gender," Sister Catharti explains. "Judas, you will reside in the female living quarters. Peter and Pontius Pilate, you will reside in the male living quarters. You are forbidden from setting foot in any quarters besides your own. As I cannot bring you into the male living quarters, we will need to locate a Prophet who can. I see someone right now."
You look over and see the Noivern you encountered at the radio tower strolling down the corridor, his head buried in some old scrolls.
"Brother Chiro, we have some new initiates," Sister Catharti explains. "This is Sister Judas, Brother Peter and Brother Pontius Pilate."
"A Jynx named Judas?" Brother Chiro says as he approaches. "I always thought of that as a male name. Most peculiar."
"I was wondering if you could show Peter and Pontius Pilate where they will be sleeping," Sister Catharti says.
Brother Chiro complies and leads Peter and Po—er, Bulbob and Senic into the male living quarters, while Sister Catharti leads you into the female living quarters. You find yourself a hallway with doors on either side where various female Pokemon are moving about. You keep your face lowered. What a tremendously awkward situation. Sister Catharti stops at the end of the hallway and opens a door. You crane your neck and peer into in a cramped little room with rickety furniture, a lumpy bed and moth-eaten curtains and sheets. You feel quite a draft coming in from the window.
"This is where you will be sleeping," Sister Catharti says. "Lights out is at 9pm sharp. Wake up is at 5am sharp. As we have a little time before dinner, I will acquaint you with your chore schedule now."
Sister Catharti grabs a piece of paper tacked to the wall. It details all the chores you will need to be doing during your time here. It's quite a long list.
"As a newcomer, your chores will be the most rigorous," Sister Catharti explains. "I will let you choose your first task, which you will begin right now: you will either report to the kitchens or the library for some work. Which do you pick? Remember, Pokemon who do not finish their chores by dinner do not get to eat."

Nah, I'm not treating hunger/thirst/sleepiness as actual things that affect you, otherwise you would be dead right now. :3 You could truthfully miss dinner and still be completely fine, but they won't let you do anything until you complete the chores.

You decide to head to the library. Sister Catharti gives you some directions and you embark, winding through the various passages of this gigantic friggin' maze of a cathedral. Eventually, you come upon the library, a cavernous series of rooms with shelves of books stretching up to the ceiling. A wizened old Bibarel greets you when you arrive.
"Oh, hello," he says. "My name is Brother Castor. You don't have a cloak on you, so I can only assume you are a new initiate here for your first exposure to the library. Welcome."
Brother Castor then gives you a long and rambly tour of the library. When he's finally done, he hands you a stack of books.
"We're putting these books on display," he explains, "but they need to be arranged in order of call number."
He gives you eight books about Arceus. On each spine is a call number:
I Have a Personal Relationship With Arceus (And You Can Too!) (BY2045.S28 2009)
Arceus and All His Various Teachings You Need to Follow or Else, Like Seriously You Guys, We Mean It (BZ150.A2 1978)

Knock Knock, Who's There, It's Arceus: 101 Arceus Jokes (BY581.C28 1998)
The One True Authoritative Arceus Cookbook (BZ15.5.A2 1980)
It's a Delibird, It's a Masquerain, No, It's Arceusman: A Graphic Novel (BZ150.A2.A1 1978)
"Once you have them in the proper order, just set them on the display shelf," Brother Castor says, gesturing to a shelf by the door before walking away.

well, after looking this up on the internet, I think I got it
1. A is for Arceus: The Arceus Alphabet for Kids (B2046.C28 2000), assuming that the single B is before all of the BYs, and BZs
2. Knock Knock, Who's There, It's Arceus: 101 Arceus Jokes (BY581.C28 1998), because 581 is before 2045
3. I Have a Personal Relationship With Arceus (And You Can Too!) (BY2045.S28 2009), because S28 is before S29
4. Harkeus, O Arceus: The Arceus Hymnal (BY2045.Q29 2009), and that's the last of the BY series
5. The One True Authoritative Arceus Cookbook (BZ15.5.A2 1980)
6. A Step-by-Step Guide to Committing Ritual Sacrifices to Please Arceus (BZ15.A46 2009)
7. Arceus and All His Various Teachings You Need to Follow or Else, Like Seriously You Guys, We Mean It (BZ150.A2 1978)
8. It's a Delibird, It's a Masquerain, No, It's Arceusman: A Graphic Novel (BZ150.A2.A1 1978)
That is an interesting yet confusing system.
Yeah, in two months I'll have finished the coursework for my MLIS. I thought it would be fun to inflict a little bit of this on someone.

You get to work trying to order the books. It takes quite a lot of time, but eventually you place them on the shelf in what you believe to be the proper order. Brother Castor comes by to examine your work.
"You have made two mistakes. You will need to correct it before the chore can be considered complete," he says before returning to his work.
Suddenly, from somewhere far below, you hear a distant roar. You look up at Brother Castor. If he heard the sound, he doesn't seem to be letting on. You turn back to the books but then hear the roar again. It sounds almost anguished.

"I hate this place," Senic mutters. "Granted, they feed us well, but I just spent the past hour shoveling coal. I'm an invertebrate! Do you know how hard physical labour is for me? So, any sign of Chie? Or the antidote Professor Jellybottom wants us to find?"
Before you can reply, you see two figures enter the dining hall and take a seat at the big table at the head of the room.
You figure you have a pretty good idea who they are.

Before you can respond, the High Priest and High Priestess stand up. The High Priest bangs a cup against a goblet.
"Excuse me," the High Priest says. "We apologize for interrupting you while you eat, but we have an announcement to make."
"You may recall that we told you a few nights ago that we have an extra-special surprise for tomorrow morning's sermon," the High Priestess says. "Well, as much as we love surprises, we find them oh-so-difficult to keep secret. The anticipation has just been eating us alive."
"As a result, we're going to let the Delcatty out of the bag," the High Priest says. "Now, many of you will know that we're, ah, entertaining a special guest in the dungeons right now—a particularly insolent Latios. You may have heard the awful racket he was making earlier. Well, this guest will be making an appearance at tomorrow's sermon..."

aaaaand that's exactly what I figured.
"Well, there's one thing to consider. We have the ability to easily let in a zombie. I still have rosalinda's pokeball. Thing is, though, we'll need to get some more information out of these people, get to know beforehand how they would actually react to a zombie on the grounds."
"for now, though, let's go ahead and eat before we start asking around. ask what our beliefs have to do with the zombies, but try to be discreet about it."

You start eating. As it turns out, the Prophets' food turns out to be pretty delicious and a nice change of pace from the whole lotta nothing you've been eating since starting out on your Safari trek. It isn't long before you've scarfed down three whole helpings of everything. You pat your Jynx tummy contentedly. Looking around, you see that all the Prophets have finished eating and are conversing casually. You look over at two Fire-type Pokemon sitting right next to you.
From what you can hear, they seem to be engaged in a dry and esoteric conversation about ancient scriptures or something like that. You start thinking of ways you can discreetly steer the conversation toward the zombies.
"Soooo... what you do you guys believe about the zombies?" Senic blurts out, stopping the conversation dead.
Bulbob winces. That was not a particularly graceful segue.
"I beg your pardon?" Monferno asks.
"Er... you know, the zombies!" Senic says, laughing nervously. "The living dead? Those pasty dudes skulking around the Safari Zone biting folks and stuff like that?"
"I understand what you are referring to," Monferno says, "but I don't understand your question."
"Well, we're new, see, and we just don't really know the details of the whole zombie thing," Senic says. "Someone mentioned the zombies were made by Arceus?"
"Yes," Magmar says. "The zombies are a blessing provided by Arceus intended to cleanse the Safari Zone of sinners."
"So you're cool with the zombies?" Senic asks. "If, say, a zombie horde broke in here and started chewing everybody up, you'd be fine with that?"
"A zombie horde would never infiltrate the Church," Monferno says. "We are righteous Pokemon who follow Arceus's teaching. As a result, the zombies would not attack us."
"But you have guards stationed out front, don't you?" Senic asks.
"Only to protect us from wicked Pokemon who might try to do us harm," Magmar replies. "The guards do not protect us from the zombies, as there is no need. Arceus has spared us so far and will continue to do so. The zombies are a threat to everyone else, but not to us."

not very discreet, senic, but it did a good job of giving us the info we need.
That makes this all the more stupid and dangerous. If a zombie were to get in, either no one would stop it until it's too late, or everyone would panic and stop believing in the priest and priestess.
we need to plan for this, though. Bulbob, before this all goes down, we'll need to get you back into your pokeball. Senic is immune to zombieism, and I am prepared, but you're vulnerable. So on our way back to the rooms, we'll need to find a spot where I can do that.
One thing we need to know, though, is where my pack went. I'll ask around to see if anyone knows where confiscated goods go.

You formulate a plan. You also ask Monferno and Magmar where the confiscated items are taken.
"All confiscated items are placed in a locked room in the Church steeple," Monferno explains.
"The High Priest and High Priestess also use that room to store valuables they don't want anyone laying a finger on," Magmar adds.
You and your party members get up and leave the dining room before any of the other Prophets. Taking advantage of the momentary emptiness of the hallways, you make sure the coast is clear before slyly recalling Bulbob to his Pokeball. Not long thereafter, the other Prophets emerge from the dining hall and begin making their way toward the living quarters. You and Senic start following the foot traffic in that direction.

Is she also new? She looks to be quite ill. Gardevoir, are you okay? Do you need someone to accompany you to the infirmary before curfew?"
Mouth agape, Rosalinda starts tottering toward Dedenne.

You warn Dedenne about the zombie standing right in front of her.
"You're new, so you don't entirely understand the mysterious workings of Arceus," Dedenne says. "I forgive you for your ignorance, but you must understand that this cannot be a zombie. Arceus would never allow a zombie to infiltrate our Church and do us harm. Gardevoir, let me take you to the infirmary."
Dedenne takes a step toward Rosalinda, who leans over and grabs onto the little rodent. Rosalinda then sinks her teeth into Dedenne, who lets out a scream. Drawn by the commotion, a dozen other Prophets flock to the doorway and watch as Rosalinda continues to attack Dedenne.

You shout at the Pokemon standing in the doorway, who all seem positively gobsmacked.
"How did a zombie get in here? Why would it attack Peromy?" a Venonat asks.
"Peromy must have secretly been a wicked Pokemon," a Gurdurr replies. "That is why she is being attacked. The rest of us will be safe."
"But let's maybe close the door just in case," Venonat mutters quietly and quickly.
"Er, we should probably do that, yes," Gurdurr replies.
Gurdurr pulls you from the room and closes the door. She maintains a strong grip on the handle to prevent it from being opened. You hear Dedenne scratching at the door from inside your room.
"Please, let me out!" Dedenne cries through the closed door. "I'm not wicked! You must believe me! I beg you!"
"Don't lie to us, Peromy!" Gurdurr sneers. "Arceus has brought this zombie into our hallowed halls to punish you!"
"I'll go fetch the High Priestess to help us get rid of these zombies," Venonat says before scurrying away.
The rest of the female Prophets stand guard by the door.

perception check: how many prophets are currently in the hallway?
About a dozen by the door, maybe like forty in the hallway and rooms nearby who are being drawn by the commotion.
EMERALD_GEN.3'S SAFARI ADVENTCHA!

• great ball x2
• ultra ball x1CATCHES: • n/a
• ROUND ONE •
Bright-eyed and eager to get rolling, you and your teammates begin your Safari Adventcha at the base of a towering landform. Craning your neck upward, you gaze at the great profusion of rock known as Trolgar Mountain. Its slopes are jagged and its upper summit is obscured in cloud cover. You can only imagine what kind of shenanigans lie ahead of you.
You examine your immediate surroundings see a handful Shinx frolicking some fifty feet away. A Pansage watches them from behind a boulder.
The weather looks a little grim. You think it might rain soon.
