There are even a few Hex Maniacs roaming around, you've heard stories about them never socializing with anyone, ever, at any point in time. So that comes off as a small shock.
You and your blonde traveling companion scout about for someone that isn't engaged in any partying activities so that they can point you into the direction of Sycamore's place of operations.
At least you lucked out, out of all four of the annoying tag-alongs that do nothing but dribble drabble on about friendship and overtly hammy optimism, you get stuck with the one whose demeanor is more or less, something to be treasure compared to everyone else's.
You think for a moment.
'I'd like it even better if she were more willing to open up...'
In midst of your train of thought, you realize that she's already way ahead of you, unaware that you stopped in the middle of the street to ponder shit.
"H-Hey, wait up!" clumsily, you make an effort for a hasty catch-up.
"Excuse me, but can you spare a few minutes?"
By the time you catch up to her, not only are you out of breath, but she's also conversing with another girl. Oddly enough, at face value you can clearly tell she's quite the opposite of the blonde.
And it may or may not be because of the donuts in her hair.
'But why is she so happy? Why the heck is she alone?'
This donut-haired maiden turns around and flashes the both of you a sickeningly sweet smile, "Oh, hello!~ I'm-...um, uh, Lily! I just moved here from the Unova region, I'm still settling in. This region is SUPER fun!~...but I'm still kinda homesick...O-Oh! I'm sorry, I rambled on again-DAMMIT! I keep doing that..."
A) "Do you know where Professor Sycamore's Lab is?"
B) "Why did you move?"
C) Ask if she's heard of any suspicious fabulous men running about.
