...explore the junk pile, that is.
Why something like this would ever be here was more interesting than a fair amount of things around the house- especially that bush Erna was investigating. That was likely just there because of how old this house was. But this pile of junk... it seemed more deliberate.
You began to sift through it. At first, the trash heap lived up to its name. Nothing but junk. An old rotten sock of questionable proportions, a broken frame for something with nothing inside... the whole thing smelled something awful, too, yet none of it rubbed off on you as you continued to search it.
Another sock, this one made for some other type of foot. It looked nothing like the other, and was made of some kind of straw instead of any kind of thread, so you assumed it was part of a separated pair. Surely you'd find both soon.
Instead, however, you just continued. Piece of junk after piece of junk. But as you began to dig deeper, the assortment of strange objects became... noticeably extraordinary.
An empty casing colored purple and white. A broken belt with some notches on it for spheres...?
These things didn't look fitted to Pokemon size. Nor did their material feel similar to anything else. You ran a finger down the side of the casing especially. Not stone, not glass, not wood...
"Indie? I thought you'd be upstairs by now, what's..."
By the time you'd turned to look Erna in the face she was already by your side. Staring right at your finding.
She put a paw to her chin and mulled it over for just a moment.
"I've never seen somethin' like this...!" It wasn't long before she snatched it out of your hand and started peeping into the little hole in its front, shaking it up and down, weighing it in her hand...
"Wow, you've got the right idea! There's got t' be cooler stuff in here than over there-"
Erna didn't finish her sentence. She just dove right into the pile, plowing through the heap faster than you could ever do yourself, tossing interesting object after interesting object out at the wall! "Hey!! Erna-"
You caught something before it could hit the wall behind you. Your partner turned to look- "Indie?"
