Your first couple of nights in Po Town were uneventful. However, you were constantly stressed out about your money supply. Thank Arceus the rent was so cheap, but you still had to eat. On top of that, you had to make sure you stayed out of view from the boss; whoever that is.

You were walking to a nearby town when you felt like someone was following you. You turned around to see the silhouette of a tall figure walking behind you. The figure wasn't extremely close, so you kept on walking.

A couple days later, you noticed this figure would always walk behind you when you were walking away from and towards Po Town. You were fed up with it, so you decided to approach the figure.

"Hey! Do you have a problem or something?! Why are you always following me huh?" Your arms were crossed.

The figure kept walking towards you. You stepped back a couple times so that the figure, which now appeared to be a man in a black hoodie and black pants with the hood over his head, wasn't so close to you.

"U-um hello?" You said nervously.
???: "Ain't followin' ya princess." The figure said blankly.

'Does he know I'm a princess?! Does he know me?! Did my parents send him?! Or Nigel?! Or?!'

"Well it really seems like it. Do you live in Po Town too?"

The figure lifted his head some. You could now see that his eyes were a light silver color. He looked very tired, probably from stalking you so much.

The man laughed and pushed his shoulder past you.

"Hey!  I asked you a question! Rude!"

He ignored you.

'Ugh. Whatever. I don't even feel like job hunting anymore today. I'm just going to go back home and avoid this guy. Jerk.'

That night you heard a knock on your door. You stopped making the Cup O' Noodles and went to answer it.

Right when you were about to open the door, the door slammed open anyways. Grunt A or B? The male grunt that you're renting the house from barged in and shut the door behind him. He was breathing heavily and his eyes looked panicked.

"Wh-what's going-"
Grunt: "Ah shit Maisie, its bad yo. Real fuckin' bad."
"What's bad grunt?!"
"The boss man, he-he found out that someone's been livin' in Po. I dunno how yo, but he did. He's pissed. Did you run into him or somethin'?"
"No? I don't think so?"
"Shit. Well, he doesn't know where ya livin' and who let ya live here, so-so uh, don't say shit aight?"
"Aight."
"Cool cool. Ok-"
"But what if I need to leave my house? This town isn't that big, he's going to find me grunt!" You started panicking.

The grunt put his hands up to your mouth to shush you. He looked around silently to see if he heard anyone.

Grunt: "Maisie, chill dawg. Grunt and I will figure somethin' out. Don't worry. We might have ta' talk to the boss ourselves." He shuddered as he said the last sentence.

"Will he hurt you?" You said with a worried tone.
Grunt: "Maybe. But we like ya Maisie. Boss might too. I mean ya pretty cute and stuff. Plus, ya homeless like us without Po Town. He might understand and take pity on ya."

You looked down and started to worry about where you would have to go if you got kicked out of Po Town. Worst case scenario was calling your parents and begging them to get you a ticket back to Kalos. Tears of worry started to form in your eyes.

"No. I'll go talk to him." You said in a low voice.
Grunt: "Yo what?!? Maisie girl, boss ain't a nice dude. He'll crush someone as fragile as you dawg."
"I don't care. I'm not going to have other people get hurt for me and I'm definitely not letting someone else decide my future. I'm going in there to demand I stay here in Po Town."
Grunt: "Ya got balls Maisie. I'll tell ya that. Just, maybe calm down a bit before you go stompin' in there ok?"
"Oh right. Yeah that's probably a good idea. Haha"
