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 on a mission to find some valuable artifacts in this area. Do you happen to know where I can find some by any chance, kid?"

she asked, flashing a sly smile as she gave you a bump with her backside.

Despite her playful demeanor, you could tell that she was serious about her mission, and you also knew better than to trust her completely.
