[edit] Good Morning

Outlaws
The right of the 2 boards on the guild's first floor will list mission about Outlaw Pokémon. Outlaws are bad Pokémon which you will need to fight with to complete the mission. Sometimes you also have to retrieve an item they drop, so leave a space in your bag.

Loudred will wake you up like always. Go to the lobby and Chatot will ask you to follow him. You'll go to the bulletin board again, but this time he goes to the right one.
After explaining the outlaw missions to you, he'll summon Bidoof to give you a tour around Treasure Town.

[edit] Treasure Town

Main article: Treasure Town

After showing you some stuff, Bidoof will leave you to hang out in Treasure Town. Many of the functions there will not work just yet. Your partner will insist on going to the Kecleon Market. Go there (it's in the western part of Treasure Town). The Kecleon Market is a stand with 2 Kecleons standing there, a green one and a purple one. Buy items if you want, and leave the store. Once you do so, You'll see an Azurill and a Marill buying an Apple from the Kecleon brothers.

When they leave, Kecleon will explain that their mother has fallen sick and that they do the shopping for her. The duo will come back and say they have an extra Apple, which the green Kecleon will say is a gift. The young duo will leave, but Azurill will trip and drop an apple, which you will pick up. However, when you give it back to Azurill, the screen will flash black twice, and you will complain you are getting dizzy before the screen turns dark, flashes white, and a voice will scream "H-h-help!" before it retracts white. There will be a short cutscene, and you may head back to the guild.

However, you will then experience and find that a Drowzee is offering to help them look for an item they lost. However, the Drowzee wll bump you and you will have another vision in which you will see Drowzee threatening Azurill. Another cutscene will show, and you should finish up in treasure town and head for the guild.

Talk to Bidoof and tell him you are ready. An earthquake will occur and Bidoof will explain that Dugtrio is updating. When Dugtrio is done, than your partner will shiver. Drowzee is a wanted criminal!

You will head for Mt. Bristle.

A bit of a challenge. There are a large variety of Pokémon in this dungeon, and they are quite strong. One of them is Geodude, which can be fatal, especially against Fire and Electric types. Nidorina and Nidorino have fairly good stats, too, and Starly knows Quick Attack, which can get you fron 2 spaces away, and can be awful if you run into one when you have low HP or are on a low level.

After 9 floors, you will meet poor old Azurill, and - OMG!! - Drowzee!

[edit] Boss Battle: Drowzee

Name HP Tactics
Drowzee About 100 Put Drowzee to sleep or stun him using seeds or moves and then use your best moves against him. No big deal (as long as you know how to deal with him.)

When you (finally) defeat him, Magnezone will appear. He introduces himself as the leader of the Pokémon Police Force, and will take Drowzee away. In response to this, Drowzee will say something like "Aww..... ".

[edit] At the Guild Again

After you return to the Guild with Azurill, you'll meet Chatot. He'll say that Magnezone's reward arrived, and will reveal what it is... 3000 Poké!! Yay! But wait... Wigglytuff keeps 2700 Poké, so you only get... 300 Poké?! Chatot will say it's all part of the training, and then you will head off to dinner. But you are still wondering how you managed to find out about Drowzee...

At night, your partner will talk about things called time gears. Apparently they keep time running in that area, until they are removed from that place. Then, you and your partner will decide to go to sleep.

All is peaceful. Or is it?

Meanwhile, you will see a Grovyle in a forest. He will look around and see something ahead... it's a Time Gear. But it looks like Grovyle's going to steal it! That means that... time will stop in the forest! Oh dear, looks like things aren't as peaceful as they seem...
