Quest: Exploration 101 Participant(s): Jae Tsukuda "Hey, hey! Did you miss me? Then JaeTrickster is here!" The young streamer proudly declared as she stood at the entrance inside the Slate City Mines. However, she was wearing a yellow hard hat and carried a toolbox that contained a pickaxe, brushes, and other tools for mining, which Aki stared at her in disbelief over her strange getup. "Today, we'll do something different for today's vlog. I'm in Slate City's famous mine to do one thing: to mine stuff!" She quickly raised her toolbox in front of the camera and grinned, which Aki quietly sighed in dismay.
"I can't say how did I able to grab a mining kit for the sake of the person's anonymity, but I am excited to try my hand at mining with my own hands! And don't worry, I already have permission from my parents and I'll be careful there. So with that said, it's time for me to get some mining action!"
She then turned off her phone camera and turned to her Dark-type partner. "Alright, Aki. I'll be counting on you with the navigation. It's time we get some gems and shiny things!" Jae declared before she and Aki went into the mines to search for a spot.

Jae TsukudaA random event has occurred!Jae had to duck close to Aki's back thanks to an uncomfortably low ceiling at times; after all, these tunnels weren't meant to be traversed on the back of a Pokémon! She got to work on picking at a promising-looking vein in the Phase 1 Dig, and unearthed a Green Shard! These types of treasures were quite common here, but they were still valuable, as they could only be found by digging them up.

As Aki walked into the mines, Jae set up her head camera for her vlog. But before she could put it on, she accidentally had her head bumped onto a ceiling stalagmite, which Aki gasped in shock as she stopped walking and caught her head camera's strap when she dropped it.
"Don't worry, I'm okay," she reassured as she rubbed her forehead. "But maybe it's my turn to walk just to be safe. Just continue your work as a navigator, okay?"
Aki quietly nodded in agreement before Jae wore her camera around her head and continued walking while holding onto her Absol's reins. After a few minutes, she found herself in a dead-end as she pulled out her tools and turned on her camera before she started mining on the left side first with her partner guarding her for any signs of trouble. Eventually, she pulled something out of the wall as she flashed a wide smile.
"Yes! I found something shiny!" She then took a closer look at the item in question, which was a small Green Shard. "Hmm... It looks a bit uninteresting, but it's still shiny. I think I'll keep it for my accessories soon."
She then pocketed her new find inside her mining pouch before she continued to pick through the rocks.

Something Has Happened Congratulations! Jae TsukudaAnother shard! And it's another green one, too! A matching set, how nice. Looks like you're either very lucky or found the perfect spot!

After a few minutes of picking through the soil and rocks, she hit something hard, which she gasped in glee before she slowly dug through until...
"I got another green shiny thingy!" Jae declared as she raised the same shard above her as Aki stared at her in surprise. "Man! Not only did I find two shiny thingies in a few minutes, but I stuck green gold with this spot. Man, I love mining!"
She then turned on her phone camera and switch footage from her head cam as she aimed the front camera on her. "Okay, before you guys complain in the comments that they are just small shards or something, it's called progress. Maybe if I dig through the same spot, even more, I can get something more than a small green shiny thing. In any case, time to keep on digging!"
With her Absol still guarding and watching her, Jae continued picking and digging through the same spot out of excitement.

Something Has Happened What will you do? Jae TsukudaHmm... Seems like it was just luck. You dig for a while and the most you get is a fake gem. It looks shiny at first, but upon inspection, you can tell it's just an ordinary rock that happened to get pressurized in the earth in such a way to appear somewhat pretty, but not particularly valuable.

She then stopped digging once she felt something hard inside the soil again. "Ooh! It might be another green shiny thing!" Jae said as she quickly picked through the rocks and soil until she found and pulled out some sort of a gem. "AAAAAHHHH!!! I knew there's something from those little shiny things! We might make something out of it or better yet, sell it so we can buy more clothes for the contest!"
But as she showed it to her Absol, she stared at the supposed gem and once she sniffed it, she growled in dismay and nodded no to her trainer. "Huh? What's wrong, Aki?" She then took a closer look at it and after a few seconds, she gasped in shock and horror. "Hang on! This isn't a gem. It's just a rock that looks like one!" She groaned in dismay at this discovery. While she wasn't much of a science genius, she did know a bit about rocks from her studies. "I wish I can keep it and shrug it off, but I doubt I can do anything with an ordinary rock. Plus, it's fraud and I don't like it." She then tossed the rock away and grabbed Aki's reins as she sighed in dismay. "Come on, Aki. I think we're done in this spot."
With that, she followed Aki as they left the dead end and go to another one on the right side of where she was. Once there, she picked up her tools and started mining on that spot once more.

Something Has Happened Congratulations! Jae TsukudaYou dig and dig and finally, there's a spark! Upon looking at what caused the spark, you see that within the rock walls, there's something yellow within. Carefully excavating around it, you uncover a Fire Stone!

Being an eager Bidoof, she hit something hard again as she quickly took it out from the soil. To her surprise, it was a yellow stone with a fire symbol inside, which made her eyes sparkle at the sight of it. "I think I heard of this stone. It's supposed to evolve Pokemon whenever they touch it, right?"
This time, her Absol sniffed at the stone and nodded yes, which she then squealed in glee. "Awesome! Though I don't know what kind of Pokemon I should use with this, so let's appraise it to the mining guys later. I know I might not use it now, but it might be useful in the near future," Jae said as she placed the stone inside her bag. "Alright! I think there should be another one in the spot nearby. So let's go!"
She then moved herself to the left and started digging through it with her pickaxe.

Something Has Happened Congratulations! Jae TsukudaIt seems this area is good luck for you! Soon after prying into the rock on this side, an Orange Shard drops to the ground by your feet. You've certainly had a successful excursion.

Jae TsukudaNothing happened!All rolls were failed.The branch Jae was mining appears to have run dry; her picking had expanded the tunnel ever so slightly in all directions, but yielded nothing. A cacophony of footfalls echoed from the direction of the entrance to the offshoot she was working at; it was impossible to tell whether they were human or Pokémon. --- Green shards sent.

Jae Tsukuda Nothing happened!All rolls were failed.While the vein Jae was working on looked promising, she didn't unearth anything at first. However, there were signs that where she was digging were previously excavated with haste; those who previously worked there didn't do a thorough job at all. If she remained persistent, she was sure to find something valuable!
