It seemed there was some trouble back at their dispensary and they would need all hands on deck to solve the problem. Some new sort of disease going on with the Fairy Pokémon.

Once they acquired the Overseer's Mark, George and Orianna would be free to explore the surrounding routes at their leisure. Until then, Rory could guide them on the basics of catching Pokémon near the city grounds. Cypress shuddered as he recalled the Overseer of Hesperus City, a Fairy-Woman...
