Meanwhile... Rouge wasn't able to locate any jewels to steal or find any missions with Team Dark, so she decided to take a stroll in the nighttime. Being a bat, she enjoyed the darkness and the calmness that it brought. As she was walking, she noticed you and quickly curled into a ball and rolled towards you. Once she unfurled and stood up, she introduced herself.

"Hey there, name's Rouge. I'm planning to find some valuable artifacts in this area. You can help by tellin' me where they might be! ...C'mon, it's for a good cause!"

she asked, flashing a sly smile as she bent down to your height and got closer, invertedly giving you a jab in the shoulder. She then puts an arm around your neck and smiled.
