Nomi could hardly contain her excitement as she crept quietly towards the abandoned old-fashioned hotel. There were minimal street lights during this section of Route 119, so Nomi had taken out her flashlight to ensure she wouldn't trip over any errant roots or pebbles. The building ahead of her was decrepit - it had clearly fallen into disarray over the years: it was now a mess of boarded up windows, moss and ivy growing over every exposed surface, cracked plaster, and crumbling brick.[break][break]
It was the perfect breeding ground for hungry ghosts.[break][break]
Beside Nomi, Valerian prowled watchfully - for once, his expression was not bored, but attentive. Something about this particular mission seemed to have activated the Sylveon's protective instincts. Or perhaps it wasn't the mission at all that was keeping Val on his toes - but rather, the man who stalked behind them, one .[break][break]
This was Nomi's first time working with the man - she'd insisted she didn't need any help with this particular task, but some higher up had, apparently, disagreed with her assessment. Either they didn't fully trust her and wanted her watched, or they simply did not want her to get hurt. Some of Nomi's fellow Rockets (like , and ) had her best interests at heart (for the most part) but the same could not necessarily be said for those she did not know quite as well. All the same, they had agreed to let her study the haunting at the hotel - as long as she took Felix with her.[break][break]
Well, it was an opportunity to network with someone else from the organization, that much was certain. Felix was an admin, which made him rather important, so it was in Nomi's best interest to show him just how capable she could be.[break][break]
Nomi came to an abrupt stop right outside the entrance to the hotel. "well, Felix, what do you think?" She asked in a friendly tone, head cocked cutely as she squinted at the hotel through the dim light, completely unphased by the creepy atmosphere. "I don't want to disrupt whatever's in there, so we ought to be as sneaky as possible."

Since becoming an Admin, Felix had taken over his responsibilities well enough. The actual administration part was almost second nature to him, same with the management aspect of the position. What he hadn't grown accustomed to was the obligation to become familiar with the other members of the organization.

It was frustrating, but it wasn't a complete waste of time, so when he was assigned to help supervise a young, sprouting researcher, he agreed without too much reservation.

So, here he was, clad in an outfit of black, following close behind with a face without explicit expressions. When she inquired of his thoughts, he only shrugged. "It's a haunted hotel."

And, when she announced her intentions, again, he only gave a short nod, stating his simple agreeance to the plan. "Sounds good."

A man of few words it seemed. Maybe he has social anxiety, Nomi considered. She smiled warmly at him - an encouraging expression - and decided it was obviously best for her to continue taking the lead.[break][break]
Nomi pressed forward, walking up to the front door. She jiggled the handle and found, to her slight surprise, that the door was unlocked. Maybe other researchers - or a pack of curious kids - had come through here once already? She looked back at Felix, and gave him a thumbs up. Then she opened the door and slipped inside as quietly as she could manage. She flicked off her flashlight so as not to alert anyone or anything inside of her presence and waited for her eyes to adjust to the darkness.[break][break]
Beside her, she could hear Valerian sniffing. It was eerily quiet inside the hotel, and the interior smelled like moldy curtains and damp wood. Nomi took a step forward but then paused. Down the hallway, she could see a warm, dim glow. A lamp? She squinted, trying to make it out. It bobbed away. It bobbed away. A lamp that moved?[break][break]
"How curious!" Nomi breathed excitedly, and hurried after it.[break]

Nah, Felix was just awkward. Small talk was a concept far beyond the likes of him, and even when specifically sent to garner relationships with his fellow rockets, it'd take more than a few seconds to get him up and running.

Trailing close behind, the admin gave another nod in response to her thumbs up and followed her inside the jaws of the decrepit hotel. Almost immediately after taking his first few steps inside, Felix fished out a poke ball from his pocket and sent out a Houndoom. The pokemon lazily smacked its jaws upon its release.

"...?"

Turning, he flicked his eyes back over to the scientist, only to witness her dash off down an adjacent hallway. What was she thinking?

"Careful," He tried to warn. Alas, there was no stopping a curious scientist.

Nomi wasn't careful, but she wasn't not careful, you know? She was just eager, and so she followed after the floating lamp with quick footfalls, paying little attention to whether or not Felix was following her. As she approached the source of the light, she could see that it was, in reality, a boisterous Lampent, bobbing up and down with enthusiasm.[break][break]
[break][break]
"Are you the one haunting this place?" She asked with a smile. Lampent were relatively harmless Pokémon; in fact, they were excellent to befriend for their handy ability to provide a little extra light in a pinch. Perhaps the "haunting" was merely the result of various pedestrians reporting lights moving around inside the abandoned hotel. Nomi felt a small pang of disappointment: after all, she'd been hoping for a bit more adventure.[break][break]
However, to her surprise, the Lampent began to rotate furiously, is if irritated by her question. Was it...trying to shake its head at her? She blinked, confused. All of a sudden, it took off at a much faster pace into one of the adjoining rooms. "Hey! Where are you going?" She asked, following after it. Valerian growled softly and leapt after his trainer.[break][break]
The room they entered was some kind of...lounge area? Common room? A cold fireplace stood solemnly in one corner, and a dusty collection of outdated furniture were illuminated by the eerie glow of the Lampent. In that furniture - two chairs and a couch - slumped...human figures? Teenagers, by the looks of it. Three of them, Nomi counted - one held a backpack in his lap, and there was a shut-off flashlight on the ground next to another, where it had seemingly slipped through her fingers.[break][break]
All three kids were deeply asleep.[break][break]
A prickle of genuine fear traveled down Nomi's spine, and for the first time that evening, she felt apprehensive. What exactly was going on here? She took out her notebook and began to record details about the scene, ever the scientist, even in the face of strange phenomena...

Heavy, deliberate footsteps pounded against the house's flooring. Each one echoed another piece of the annoyance Felix felt as he ran behind the woman's coattails, tailing her through the spiraling corridors of the house's interiors, paying no mind to its decorations, or any possible eyes that might be lurking through the walls.

When he'd finally caught up to her, it took all of his force to stamp down his speed into a simple trot.

"What's that?"

In stark contrast to the scientist, the rocket admin's voice held no indication of emotion, especially fear. It was just as dull as it had been when they first arrived.

"Hey," he called out this time, not to Nomi, but to the three lifeless figures. With a rough push forward, he maneuvered around her and began striding up to the laid-out living space, fingers cradling his side. One finger kept locked at his pokeball's, the other on his carry-on.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear to Nomi that the teens were relatively unharmed. That was a relief. And yet, it was highly curious that they were all so deeply asleep - as Nomi tried to piece together the story, she began to draw some conclusions: the teens must have come to the house to investigate the haunting, perhaps as a "dare", only to encounter something that had put all of them to sleep...[break][break]
Nomi suddenly realized what was going on.[break][break]
"You were trying to help them?" Nomi asked of the Lampent. It gyrated excitedly, which seemed like an affirmative to Nomi. She nodded, understanding. "The haunting was never your doing, was it? It wasn't a Ghost at all, in fact."[break][break]
Movement in the back of the room caught Nomi's eye, and she slid her notebook - covered in hastily scribbled notes - back into her pack. Valerian stepped in front of his mistress, eyes narrowed expectantly.[break][break]
Unsurprisingly, a Hypno manifested in front of the fireplace, eyes narrowed. It didn't seem happy that Nomi and Felix had crashed its gourmet meal.[break][break]
"You've had enough of their dreams, I think," Nomi declared, folding her arms. If the Hypno made any sudden movements, Val would be ready to attack.

Nomi had successfully unraveled the nearly-tragic tale without breaking a sweat. Pulling out the culprit from thin air, Felix only watched from over her shoulder, glaring down at the mysterious pokemon with a pointed stare.

He'd let her continue as she saw fit, dealing with the hypno in one way or another.

That was until the Hypno moved to attack, looking to defend his tasty little treat with a wave of PSYCHIC energy aimed right at the scientist.

Nomi may not have been prepared for the sudden wave of PSYCHIC energy, but Valerian was. The Sylveon put up a shimmering LIGHT SCREEN just in time, protecting the young scientist from the attack's full power. Nomi was knocked back slightly, but otherwise unharmed, mind clear.[break][break]
"Put an end to this," she snapped, her patience spent. Valerian leapt forward, tackling the Hypno to the ground, then screeched right into its face with a cacophonous fairy-powered HYPER VOICE. The Hypno bellowed in pain, trying to cover its ears, but couldn't escape Valerian's wrath. A follow-up MOONBLAST finished it off, and it promptly fainted. Val turned to look at Felix and Nomi, quite satisfied with himself.[break][break]
Freed from the HYPNOSIS, the teens began to wake up, blinking with confusion. It didn't take long for Nomi to explain the situation, passing herself off as a Slateport University student come to study the haunting at the old hotel for a project (which wasn't exactly a lie), and they groggily thanked her for helping them. If they noticed the intimidating figure of Felix in the background, they didn't say anything about him or try to address him. That was probably for the best, Nomi decided. She helped them gather their things. "Next time, be more careful!" She scolded them on their way out. The Lampent from earlier bobbed along after them, presumably to help see them out.[break][break]
Once they were alone with the unmoving Hypno, Nomi turned to Felix. "I guess we should capture it and take it back to the labs, for further study...and to stop it from feeding on anyone else, too, I suppose." She rummaged around for a stray Pokeball.[break][break]
"Sorry you had to get dragged along for all that. At least you got to see Val in action," she nodded towards her dutiful partner. Hopefully the Rocket admin would leave this little mission impressed with Nomi.

Nomi wrapped out the frayed ends of their mission without fail. After sweeping up the Hypno with decisive action, she handled and ushered the teenagers up and out of their seats, leaving them to them to their selves quicker than he would've thought.

Arms crossed over his chest, the admin gave the emptied room another gander. Without the hindrance of another soul, the beauty of it's ancient design could finally be properly appreciated.

"It's okay," he assured her, gaze more locked onto their surroundings than the scientist herself. And yet, he still noticed her rummaging for a spare pokeball in the corner of his eye. A fact he only revealed through fishing out one himself and handing it over. "Here."

"If that's all, I'm heading back. See you at HQ."
