As everyone came down, there was nothing but a deserted building. A note stated that the ranch has been closed for a long time, due to unpaid bills.


 * "As said, it'd be better to go to the Pokémon Center." Artus asked. He went to the place, where he spoke with some other people.
 * "Oh yes, the cave has been closed, as a tremors caused the rocks to block the exit." one of the visitors noted.
 * "Already some workers are trying to clear the path, but it'll take some time. You'll just have to wait a couple more days. But I hear that will even be postponed even more, since they seem to have some machinery lacking." one of the locals replied.
 * "Isn't there any other way around?" Artus asked.
 * "You could go Virpos City and take a boat around. It isn't recommended, though, since a lot of wild, angry Pokémon live in that part of the sea and will likely attack anyone approaching it."

There was nothing much else to say. Artus went to Stonefoot Cave. The workers outside of the cave where just relaxing.
 * "Stonefoot Cave is off-limits." one of the workers said.
 * "I know that. But a lot of people say that you miss a machine part to clear the exit."
 * "That much is true. I do not know what are the folks at Argent Town waiting. The machine part should've been delivered by now." the worker frowned. "If you want to help us, then go to that town and ask for the part."
