A strong gust of wind came and blew the cover off of Kira's canvas, showing that the painting was an almost perfect image of the playground except for that one spot on the tree's branches. It almost looked like a target...

Auris, hearing the cover flying away, investigated where it came from. She looked at the painting it, scanning it before looking to where the target was referencing. She plugged a chip into her neck, changing her type. She climbed into the tree in the painting, checking out the branches for any clues.

In the tree's branches, shaped and colored like the three's leaves was the clue.

It read, when held up to the sunlight, "You've found the Second Clue! The second clue is that the 'Treasure of Wonders' is something, that when broken, is rarely fixed back to the way it was but can be fixed with mountainous effort.
The next clue can be found where Pokemon Trainers go to advance in their journey.
Sincerely, Kaitou Midnight."

"Auris, did you find the clue?" Luca asked. She noticed that Auris's aura changed in color every time that she put one of those sticks in her neck. Luca decided to pester her about it later...

Kira turned around when she heard this. The cop girl found the clue because of her painting, and to think that the spies from earlier wanted to change it, she thought in her head.
Kira took her belongings and made a quiet trip back to her house to put her stuff away and to "change her look".

"Where trainers go to advance their journey" Auris spoke in a chilled voice. "Now, that most likely would be the Pokemon gym" She hissed, her voice still monotone, but with a slight hint of natural sass in her voice.

"We finally have a lead! Say Auris, do you have an idea what the 'Treasure of Wonders' is?" Luca said to the human machine as they set off for the Pokemon Gym.

"In Kalos, we're S-class. The best of the best." Lux said.
"Lysandre Labs made us. The scientists are super smart." Mio said in admiration.
"I wonder what time the competition is..." Nia said softly.
"Better be soon! I'm psyched!" Talon said.

"I'll scan my database, but that'll take some time to figure out, let's just keep searching for more clues for now" Auris told Luca. "Though I've got to say, I'd love to face Kaito in battle, I'm not sure he's very strong, since he doesn't do anything in person" Auris said somewhat loudly, her tony with a hint of mocking.

"We should probably tell you, since you aren't from around here, the single categories and team categories are judged differently" Ludo said.

"Singles are judged by abilities, performance, style, and how well they completed their act" Oreo chirped, looking through her backpack.

"Teams are judged the same as singles, but with added cooperation and synchronization, meaning they'll judge you on how your team cooperates with each other" Belle told them

"The hybrid grading system is much more strict here, because there's a lot more of us, we have about 4 current S-Class hybrids, and one more that might qualify" Ludo told them. "The judges are a Frosslass hybrid, Machamp hybrid, and a Rotom hybrid, Lassie, the Frosslass is a B-Class, Mach, the Machamp, is A-Class like me, but I rank higher than him, and the Rotom, I don't know her name, is also an A-Class, much higher than me" Ludo told them.

"I'm only a C-Class, so I'm mostly a recreational hybrid rather than one who fights" Belle told them, fidgeting with her flowers. "I'm an upper B-class, for some reason, but I'm not a great fighter, I'm only B-class because I'm a more advanced specimen" Oreo told them.

"Cool." Lux said, sounding bored.
"So, when's the competition?" Mio asked.

"Not too long now" Ludo said. "Maybe in 15 minutes to half an hour" Belle said, looking at the clock.
