Maxwell king » OOC: super keen! Do we want to try all of the options? Midnightive Max had been relaxing in the Pokemon Center of Cherrygrove City during the wild weather outbreak, he was feeling rather agitated being confined in the building with many others taking shelter indoors as well. Max put on a fresh set of clothes, exactly the same as what he was previously wearing, however these ones weren't soaked wet from being outdoors in the wild weather.
After being outdoors for quite a while had left Max feeling the need to quench his thirst as he retrieved a cup of water, as Max took a sip of the water he cringed as he noticed that it did not taste like normal, purified water. Something was definitely wrong with the water, so Max wanted to find out as he went and spoke to Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy explained to Max that the drinking water had recently become contaminated, however she was not sure how it had come to happen. Max's curious mind was edging him towards investigating the cause of the local water contamination, however he wasn't too sure where to start looking for clues having only very recently arrived in Cherrygrove City, maybe one of the many people indoors might be willing to lend him a helping hand on this investigation?

Pixie ran in from the route 27 she bee lined for the Pokemon centre she wanted to heal her Rattata. That she had caught moments ago, She pushed her way to the front desk and asked Nurse Joey to heal her little rat Pokemon. She was told the sad news that it was going to take at least a night to heal it so she went and sat down quietly looking down at her Pokeball with Serqet in it. She was glad she was able to keep at least one pokemon healthy.
Being so deep her in thoughts, the sound other voice startled her and she whipped her head around to see a young boy standing in the middle of the Pokemon centre. She made her way towards him and over heard there conversation about the bad waters. "I can help, My Rattata is in here for a day anyway. She said somewhat glumly. "Maybe, We would do well, asking the locals? They have to know something!"

Maxwell king Max was rather surprised that someone had responded so quickly to his barracking for some support in finding the solution to the local water pollution issue. To be completely honest, Max was expecting his accomplice to be a young kid, eager as ever to do anything within his or her powers to help out, much to surprise the person who had appeared was the complete opposite! As Maxwell turned he noticed a female with shoulder length pink hair, she was well proportioned and a few inches shorter than him, from her appearance alone Max deduced that she was slightly young than he was.
"Nice to see someone with as much energy as Me for once!"
Max smiled and adjusted his hair before holding out his hand for the pink haired girl to shake, the male young adult's track record with women was rather embarrassing despite his appearance, social skills just weren't his forte. As Maxwell looked out the window of the Pokemon Center he noticed that the wild weather had at least calmed down, a prime time for this new prosperous pair to go all Sherlock Holmes on the local water pollution problem.
"The name's Maxwell, what's yours?"
Asking some locals for any possible information was certainly a fair starting point for the new pairs expedition. Almost like a light bulb going off in his head, Max had an idea, maybe the kind old man known commonly as Guide Gent had some vital information to share.
"Old Guide Gent out front seems friendly enough, maybe he has some information we can work with?"

Pixie pale skinned face turned a nice shade of crimson when she was complemented, on having the same kind of energy at him. She never really thought about it before, but she loved to help and would do anything to do so. She noticed him sorting out his hair and looked down and brushed down her skirt a few times to at least some what presentable.
"maxwell, What a nice name. I am Pixie"
She looked down at this hand and threw her hand and gave it a good awkward grip. She gave it a quick shake. She listened to him slowly nodding and agreeing. She remembered seeing a new old looking man standing outside his house, he was so willing to help. She turned and started to walk out the Pokemon centre just hoping he'd follow if not she'd do this quest on her own. She found the old man and smile warmly.
"Excuse me sir, do you know anything about the water?"

" I swear I had more Running Shoes than this... Just where in tarnartion have they all gone... Oh?!" Letting out bit of a startled surprise, the elderly gentleman known as the Guide Gent swivelled around to look at Pixie who greeted him. " Phew... Makin' an old man like me jump like that." Breathing in a paced manner before he calmed down, he nodded his head and smiled, also greeting Maxwell as he caught up. " Hahaha! It's a joke. I'm fine. Although, that was quite the jump. Fancy some tea and scones, you young couple? No? A tour?!" Cutting in before Pixie could explain what they were after, he seemed to be about ready to march off on a guided tour of the city. " Now good youngsters, let us begin our tour by heading..." Stopping as he realised they weren't following, he returned back at a pace as he bothered to listen to Pixie's question. Hearing she had asked a question, he eventually got around to answering. " Huh? Whuzzat?! Tell you about me daughter? I don't have a daughter? Whuzzat... You need to borrow a mortar? No? Oh! THE WATER! Right you are. Haha." Whether senility was setting in or not was up for debate but the Guide Gent certainly had some juicy gossip on what exactly what was affecting the water. " Well! I'll tell you kids what. It's all a bit hush hush but this new fangled company that appeared up along Route 30 seems to have a COMPLETE and UTTER disregard for the environment. I don't know what in the blazes they are doing but the amount of gunky muck that pumps out of their waste pipes... Good grief! To THINK Pokemon and people alike used to drink from there! EURGH!" Getting a little squeamish at the thought, he squirmed a little recalling what he had seen on one of his tours. " I'd be happy to give you a tour up that way but i'd rather not come into contact with that foul mess." Pulling a glum expression, he decided a verbal tour of where they needed to head would be an ideal substitute. " Lookie here. If you enter into route 30, find a nice beautiful stream. KEEEEEEEP followin' it and it won't be long before you notice just how disgusting it gets. At that point I think the river diverges so best to follow the source back to that shady company I was talkin' about. They own this factory or chemical plant or something." Leaning in closer as if they were being listened to, his excitable voice lowered to a hushed tone. " Between you and me... I think they've got the Cherrygrove government in their pocket. We've all made complaints and protests but the problem doesn't go away." Leaning back out, he laughed heartily as it to ward off any suspicion. He was either incredibly paranoid or there was some merit to his words. That or the senility again. "You know what? You two are good kids. Listenin' to me ramble away. Have some candy. I hear Rage Candy Bars are ALL THE RAGE these days, haw haw! Only got one but i'm sure a sweet, young couple such as yourselves don't mind sharing. Bless." Handing them a bar he had in his pocket, he shuffled back onto his yard, muttering something about missing shoes. For listening to the Guide Gent's ramblings words of wisdom, he gifts you a RageCandyBar!There seems to be some sort of text on the backside though...Expiry date: End of Water Conservation quest.

Maxwell king » OOC: Moving on! MAx just doing his thing lol xd. Midnightive Pixie, a cute and very unique name, the name suited the appearance. Max froze when old Guide Gent referred to he and Pixie as a couple, the confident young man had only just met this girl and now people were already assuming they were a pair. While the old man was a very helpful guy, senility was surely starting to get to him.
While alot of Guide Gent's rambling was random, he did raise some very valid points, one in particular being the fact a new company may be the cause of the water contamination issue. Guide Gent's verbal tour was more than enough for Max to comprehend as he retrieved his map from his backpack. Guide Gent handed the RageCandyBar over to Max, the male young adult smiled thankfully towards the old man and then turned to Pixie and handed it over to her
"Here you go, I feel you will use this better than I ever could!"
Spending some time around Pixie was starting to alleviate the nerves that Max had previously been feeling. After watching old Guide Gent walk away Max turned his attention to the path ahead, their next destination was to locate the stream on Route 30 and begin following it,
"That old guy is top value, he certainly gave us some useful information! Shall we go looking for this stream now?"

Pixie was overwhelmed by the old man guides ramblings from real information she kind of just scanned the area in hopes to find something useful for her to understand. There was big she understood to her dismay, was they the crazy old man thought they were couple! Pixie turned a funny shade of crimson, and turned away from the guide and Maxwell while they continued to talk.
Turning back at the sound of Maxwell talking, and when her checks had decided not to be on fire. She reached over and gently took the package from him and swung her backpack around and gently stuffing it into a safe spot at the back.
"ok, Maxwell if you're sure"
swinging her backpack back around to her back, she leaned over Maxwell's shoulder to see the directions to the river. She scanned all over the place to find Cherrygrove on the map. She was never really any good at map reading, her mother tried to teach it to her when she was little in hopes to play some games with her. But while she can now read a map it takes a good hot minute to find where she's starting from.
"Oh that's a pretty easy trip by the sounds of it, I guess we should get moving."
Before leaving the town Pixie couldn't help but notice there was a mother looking really disheartened at her son. Pixie rolled her eyes, the kid seemed like a brat anyway but she couldn't just leave them knowing there was a problem. She walked over leaving Maxwell, hoping he'd follow her over.
"are you ok miss?"

Having caused quite the commotion for some time, it seems the disturbance had been enough to distract Pixie and Maxwell onto the scene, putting a halt to their investigations into the contaminated waters. Getting closer and closer, it seemed like a long suffering lady who was looking after a young boy was desperately trying to get him to calm down. " WAAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAAAH!" " ...Please, please, please will you calm down! If you don't tell me what's wrong, I won't know how to help." Having knelt down to get on the little boy's level, he rather moodily shuffled from side to side before crossing his arms and making known his demands. " THIRSTY!" Pulling a perplexed face, the lady patted her handbag. As she did, the vocal youth boomed off some more. " THIRSTY THIRSTY THIRSTY!" Distracted from her search, she looked back up and attempted to talk with him. " I'm sorry but I don't have anything to drink on me. I'm not sure where... Oh! Hello!" Kneeling up to greet the arrival of Max and Pixie, the lady seemed grateful for someone intervening. This was a stressful job, babysitting. " I am terribly sorry for the noise. He's just very thirsty it seems." " DRINK! NOW!" Bowing her head in apology and ignoring the boy's tantrums, she looked back up and very much had had an expression on her face as if she wanted to put forward a request. It was only when the boy kicked off one of his shoes that she decided she would ask for some help. " Oh... Please!" She tried to assuage the young boy. " I am terribly sorry to trouble you both but may I request a favour of you both? We're visiting on a day trip from New Bark Town and we're sadly unfamiliar with the area. I would get him something to drink but I don't know where the Pokemart is... If I gave him some money, could you possibly get something to drink? I'd be indebted to you both." Digging into her handbag and retrieved a fancy looking purse, she pulled out 300 pokedollars in loose change. " Here. Anything will do." She said with a grateful smile. After all, she simply wanted to sate the young boy's thirst to reign him in. Sadly, that didn't seem to be enough. Kicking up a storm, the young boy began to stomp around and yell at the top of his lungs. " NO! I WANT SODA POP! SODA POP! SODA POP! SODA POP!" Kneeling back down to calm the boy, she patted his head. " Yes, yes, Soda Pop... These nice people will get you something to drink." The nice lady hands you 300 to get the little tyke a drink from the local PokémartAlthough it looks like you're a little short for what the kid wants...

Maxwell king » OOC: Max just TRYING to do the gentleman's thing! Midnightive As Maxwell and Pixie ventured onto Route 30 to continue their quest together they happened to notice a lady seemingly having some trouble babysitting a child. Pixie rushed ahead of Max and gauged the situation at hand, although Max was generally a nice guy, Pixie was definitely the nice, level headed of the venturing pair.
It seemed as though the young boy was thirsty and wasn't quite about voicing his demands to have his thirst quenched. Max felt rather sorry for the lady that was babysitting the young boy, her mental resilience was something to be respected. The nice lady had a favour to ask of Pixie and Max, one that would be relatively easy to complete. Max looked down towards the young boy as he accepted the cash from the lady across from Pixie
"It's okay, I'll handle this one!"
Max had acted so rapidly that he had not given Pixie to give her case as to why she should be the one to retrieve the boy a drink. The weather had taken a certain turn as the seemingly never ending hail and thunderstorms had now switched to a heatwave style of day. Maxwell began running towards the path that he and Pixie had just followed to venture onto Route 30,
As Maxwell arrived back in Cherrygrove City he made tracks towards the local Pokémart, the heat outdoors had made him begin sweating, even despite the fact that he had only power-walked back to town. Max entered the blue-roofed Pokémart and browsed the fridge for the drink that the young boy had been requesting, it wasn't long before he noticed the Soda Pop. Max retrieved the Soda Pop from the refrigerator and noticed that the spare change that the nice lady had given to him was short of the price tag for the drink, Max wasn't worried though, he had enough change of his own to cover the difference. Max arrived at the counter as he smiled towards the shop assistant and handed the Soda Pop over to be scanned and then proceeded to hand over the sufficient monetary funds to pay for the ice cold drink.
After purchasing the Soda Pop from the Cherrygrove City Pokémart, Max returned to Route 30 and noticed Pixie, the nice lady and the young boy all in the same spot that they had been when he left to retrieve the drink, Max felt as though he had been gone for a fair amount of time, apparently that wasn't the case. Max smiled towards the young boy who now had a sparkle in his eyes as he noticed the bottle of Soda Pop,
"Here you go little one, hopefully it's the one you wanted!"

Pixie listened the the mother she did feel terrible for the poor lady, that kid seemed to be a really spoiled! She watched as Maxwell had taken the money and was already walking top speed towards the Pokemart. Standing with the lady and the son awkwardly, she kind of just waited for him to come back.
Though Maxwell was not gone for long, the kid had already started to complain again. pixie couldn't help but frown this kid was annoying, but she grabbed her bag and threw a pokeball into there. There stood Serqet her proud Bulbasaur. The kid seemed to be quiet for a bit as he looked over the bulb like Pokemon.
When she saw Maxwell in the distance she couldn't help but sigh with relief. "That was super kind of you Maxwell!" she noted.

Grabbing the soda pop hastily from Maxwell as he lowered down to present the bottle to him, it seemed the bratty child was as charming as ever. " FINALLY! GIMME!" Ripping off the lid and glugging some of the drink. He pulled it away from his lips as he began to smack his mouth together. " Ah thank you kind strangers. I hope that wasn't too much trouble. It's just been-OH?!" Cut off by a raucous interruption, it seemed as if the toddler wasn't too happy with the selection. " BLEURGH! THIS TASTES POOPY! I really HATE this flavour! URGH! Phooey!" Spitting out the excess taste which plagued his mouth, he rather angrily threw a tantrum and lobbed the remainder of the bottle in the stream. The sweet, fizzy beverage spilling out, it seemed to flow up stream along with the bottle itself. That was a good waste of 350 pokedollars. The minder in absolute horror, had her mouth agape as she couldn't quite form any words as to just how rude that was. Her eyes lifting up from the toddler's antics and back to Maxwell and Pixie, she was completely mortified. " Sirs, I-I-I'm... Goodness... I can't... I'm so sorry!" Looking back to the kid she was babysitting, it appeared that was the straw that broke the camerupt's back. " ASH! THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH! You have literally just thrown these stranger's kindness away! NAUGHTY! What do you say?!" Her sudden shift in tone was enough to get the young troublemaker in line. It was after all the first time she had ever reacted like this. " Ummm umm... We say..." Leering her eyes, she was not to be tested. " SORRY! WAHHHHHHH!" Nodding her head, she pinched his ear and dragged him along with her. " Just you wait until your parents hear about this, you little devil...!" With the noisy brat disappearing off, it left Pixie and Maxwell with a choice of what to do next. Surely they had exhausted a number of options at this point. The spoilt kid chucks away most of the Soda Pop!It goes rolling into the river stream... Tough break!
