"Too keep it simple, the sudden emergence of the Golden Apricorn, which contains powers so great that it is yet to be fully understood, has caused a battle between different groups of Pokemon for possession of this Apricorn." the Spewpa explains while tending to Wurmple.
"What would these 'groups' be Doc?"
"There are 3 factions controlling 3 different areas of Route 29. On the east side, which I assume you entered from, is controlled by the Electric rodents. The west side of the route is under the Birds. The most important one right now are the First-Route rodents. They control the central part of the Route, and most importantly, the small area of Route 46 above it. This area is where the Apricorn is believed to be held. However, the Apricorn still has not been found by the first-route rodents, as they are still struggling to locate it."
"So how do I go about ending this little problem?"
"I would suggest rubbing shoulders and forming an alliance with one of the factions. Then, you can help them take on the others, and when everyone is weakened down, you can stab them in the back and stop this madness."
"Alright, so which ones should I be buddies with?"
"Well, the First-Route rodents have control of the area where the Apricorn is suspected to be in, so they are under heavy fire, so they are very likely to accept your help. The Electric rodents however, are slowly becoming stronger and stronger and are gaining the upper hand in this triple threat. Though, they are the most cruel and ruthless among the 3 factions, and they are ruled by a power-hungry dictator. The Birds, although the weakest, are the most knowledgeable about the Apricorn, so you can definitely learn more about it from them."
