I awoke in the room I'd rented for the night in the PMC. I got out of the comfortable bed and nudged Hau awake, then Robert.
Hau sprang to his feet while Robert sat up and rubbed his eyes. "You guys go on ahead with the trial. I'm gonna get some more shut-eye."
And with that, he collapsed back on the bed and immediately started snoring.
I looked at Hau and he shrugged. "Let's give the man some sleep."
We gathered our things, which included a black backpack the PMC had lying about. We got dressed and left the room and bumped into Lillie and Alex.
"Good morning." Lillie said happily while Alex just muttered, "Morn." I guess she's not a morning person.
As we left the PMC, I checked the time on my watch and saw that it was 8-O'clock.
Alex perked up when the sun hit her face. "Ugh, too bright."
We all walked to the entrance to Verdant Cavern. Alex then stopped.
"I'll do the trial later," she said. "I wanna train more, especially with my new Abra."
"Well then," I said. "See you later. Meet you back up when we're all done with our trials?"
She nodded. "I'll tell Rob if I see him."
She walked off as Lillie also bade her farewell and Hau just sighed in relief.
We then entered Verdant Cavern. Once inside we saw a guy I assumed was in his late teens, if not 20. He had pale pink hair and was wearing school clothes.
"Greetings," he said, noticing us and walked towards us. "Captain Ilima here."
I had a feeling that was going to be his common greeting.
"I assume you all will attempt the Normal Trial?" He asked.
"Just me and Zeno here," Hau said. "Lillie isn't a trainer."
Ilima smiled. "Well then, are you both ready to attempt the Normal Trial?"
I nodded while Hau said, "Let's do this."
Ilima nodded. "Your mission is to find the Pokemon that represents the Totem. Note that this is the Normal Trial, so the Pokemon will be a normal type."
Hau and I nodded and we set off further into Verdant Cavern.
I turned my head to Hau. "So, any idea of the Totem?'
Hau concentrated, then looked at me. "I'm pretty sure the Totem is a Gumshoos, but I've also heard of a Raticate."
I stopped. "Mind getting Rotom out of my pack?"
Hau opened my backpack and began rummaging through it. "When did you get Rotom back from Lillie?"
"When I got the backpack." I said. "She said Nebby was being squished by him, so she was relieved."
