The player, as his assistant, should listen to the three suspect's story and conclude who the culprit is. After interacting with the three suspects, a Skwovet owned by one of the suspects comes.

Trivia[]
- Circhester is likely based on Bath, a city in the United Kingdom famous for its public baths (hence the name), which date back to the Roman era. This may explain why Falinks, a Pokémon with roots in ancient Rome's influence in Britain, can be found on the route leading to Circhester.
- A woman in Hotel Ionia, in the same room as several other Game Freak members, appears to be playing Pokémon GO on her phone.
