The Rockruff would blink in surprise as the flash seemed to break out of whatever was causing them to act so aggressively. The small dog-like Pokemon would look at the group of other Pokemon surrounding them in confusion, though once their eyes wandered to Purple, they began to bark. Not in a rage, but...in worry. "Ruff! Ruff! Rockruff! <Human! Get out! It's too dangerous to stay!>" the Rockruff would try to communicate...before it buckled and yelped in pain. The trance may've been broken, but they were still in a very weakened state right now.
As for the Eevee, they would...gently, but weakly approach N and sniff out the treats he laid out. After a bit, they would munch them off of N's hands silently, appraising the taste. And then...the Eevee hummed happily. "Vee~! Eevee! <Mmm~! Yummy!>" the Pokemon said, loafing down on the ground a bit to seemingly rest. "Vee, Eevee. Ee, eevee... <Thanks, human. But, I can't help you much there...>" Eevee began to talk to N. "Vee, Eevee, Eev! <I was just playing with my friends a minute ago, and then boom, suddenly I'm here and hurting!>" Eevee explained. "Eevee... <Can't remember anything in between...>"
"Coal. Coalossal? <OK, lad. We hear ye, but...who do ye mean by 'he who controls the forest'?>" Gloria's Coalossal questioned the Shinx. Shinx's ears drooped a bit. "Shinx...Shinx. Shinx! <I dunno...all I know is that he's super strong. And he really hates humans!>" Shinx replied, though...after a bit of thinking, his ears perk up again. "Shinx! Shinx, Shi...Shinx. Shinx! <Oh! I remember a couple of Pokemon saying that there were a couple of really bad humans who came here and hurt him really badly...or that's what they said. Maybe that's why they hate humans so much?>" Shinx added.
"<...HMMM.>" A booming voice echoed in Gloria's head, who had been silently trying to tend to Shinx for the moment. ("What'cha thinkin' there, Eterna?") Gloria thought back. "<I'VE AN...IDEA, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN IT. ASK THE CHILD IF THEY ARE AWARE OF ANY OTHER WAYS THIS CREATURE IS NAMED AS, AS WELL AS WHERE WE COULD POSSIBLY FIND IT. I AM AWARE IT IS A LONG SHOT CONSIDERING WHO WE'RE ASKING, BUT IT WOULD PROVIDE US FURTHER CLUES AS TO WHO THEY MAY BE.>" Eternatus suggested, causing Gloria to hum and nod. ("Sure, that sounds like a good question to make.") she thought back. "Hey, little guy. Do you know any other ways this forest guy's called? Maaaaybe where he could be?" Gloria tried asking Shinx, to which the Pokemon tilted his head a bit, scrunching their face up in thought.
After a bit, the Rockruff would chime in. "Ruff! Ruff, ruff! <Oh! I heard some call them the Tree of Life, whatever that means!>" they would reply. Soon after, the loafing Eevee would point her tail to an entrance to a deeper part of the cave. "Vee, Eevee...Ee, Eevee! <I think if you go there, you might find them after a bit of walking...but be careful, he's really, really strong!"> they would add.
Gloria would look over the entrance, with a flash of worry in her gaze. "<...ARE YOU THINKING OF MEETING WITH THIS 'TREE OF LIFE'?>" Eternatus would ask, to which Gloria would nod. ("Yeah...somethin' tells me I should get to the bottom of this, otherwise it's gonna nag at me until I solve it.") Gloria would think back. "<...FINE BY ME. I AM QUITE CURIOUS ABOUT THIS CREATURE MYSELF...>" Eternatus would say with a low chuckle.
After that, the Galarian Trainer would settle Shinx down and move towards the entrance. Then, she would turn to face the two accompanying Trainers, offering an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I know this ain't exactly what we came here for, but...I gotta get to the bottom of this mystery. It's gonna bother me if I don't, but...you don't have to follow me if you don't want to." Gloria would say. "I would appreciate a helping hand or two, but I am not gonna force anyone. You still with me?" Gloria would ask, waiting for N's and Purple's answers.
