"I'm glad you were able to visit! We hope to see you again!....well, that probably won't happen. But anyway...I shouldn't do this, shouldn't show favoritism, but I wanted to give you something I found a few years ago. I don't know where it came from, but it's not a text, so you may have it. As a thanks for keeping the HOOLIGANS away and being such respectful guests."

Slaking hands you a Big Bullion! It's worth $50,000, partly because it has Sarimanok's seal stamped in it! Mr. Finder is gonna want a cut; after all, he was a guest here too.

"Goodbye now! I'll have the Guardians let you out near where you came in, though of course the Relic Stone is far away by now! Watch out for any lingering Onix. Just step this way...ready? Away you go!"

And in a flash of light, you return to reality. You suddenly feel the heavy weight of extra gravity again, and the airy feeling of Time running at a normal pace once more.

The Slakoth and Slowpoke are gone. The tunnels have all been rearranged - only the minerals look familiar. No sign of the Relic Stone or the path you came in on!

"Everyone get your Rock Smashers out," says Mr. Finder, summoning Raticate. "What am I smelling a path to? Larvesta for sure...what else?"

Just for posterity's sake, could Nathan hold on to the Big Bullion for now?  Someone has to, and he wants to examine that seal a little bit on the trip back.

"...if we're going near Larvesta, we're probably also going near where Carbink was.  If it's still there, I'll go talk to it when we arrive.  Keep it distracted, calm it down...whatever I have to do."
