So… it was Rachel’s first time to travel to another region entirely asides from Unova. After she’d decided to go to this weird “invitational” event that was going to be held in the capital city of her mother’s homeland, Kalos, she knew that she couldn’t refuse. After all, it wasn’t every day that the prime star of the Unova theater district had decided to take a short break from all the acting. She knew that even if they were still in the middle of their current run with Miss Saigon, she’d decided to leave her role in the hands of the actress that played her part during the matinee showings—she only showed up whenever it was time for the high-profile gala nights. There was just one thing going all wrong about this, however…
After wandering around the area, she’d gotten herself lost. Now, normally she didn’t have such a bad sense of direction—but that only applied in the Unova region. In another region entirely, she was absolutely helpless! She didn’t realize that she’d stumbled upon the Badlands by accident, because some incompetent moron of a taxi driver had dropped her off in some part of the region that was definitely not Lumiose. Now that she was carting her luggage along, slogging through the terrifying heat, she could only blink and think of one thing: would she die out here due to dehydration? The Badlands looked and lived up to its reputation; casting a heat haze all around… causing her disorientation to just worsen.
“GAH! Where the hell did that driver leave me?! Didn’t even bother taking me to the city! Now that’s just rude, treating the star of Unova that way!” she shouted, echoing all around her before stamping on the ground and throwing a short fit. After muttering some dark things and grumbling, she then decided to just go through the place where she was—who knows if she was going to be able to find that “City of Bright Lights” today?

As Rachel began hauling her rather large assortment of luggage, she didn’t realize that she had already wandered deep into the Badlands, trying to look for someone who could point her to the exit. The bad thing about this was that she’d been dropped off in the “middle of nowhere” which was actually the part of the Badlands that hadn’t been chartered yet, so there was nothing but the desert view for miles around. Sighing, she then continued to drag her luggage around when she felt the wheels hit something—and very nearly caused the rest of the carefully-balanced pile of bags above it to tip over and come crashing to the dirt. Hissing as she then quickly spun around and attempted to balance out the stroller bag that had run over something, she caught sight of the offending object, and yanked it out in order to be able to check out just what the heck it was.
A palm-sized stone that had something like craters marking the interior part of its surface stared back at her; and honestly, she didn’t know what it was called—or what it was used for. “Stupid rock…” she muttered darkly, winding up her arm and taking aim, before chucking it as far as she could into the area. “Leave my luggage alone!” she shouted as it landed somewhere distant out of her field of vision. “Ruining people’s luggage bags, why don’t you…” she hissed as she then piled on all of the baggage up again, before continuing to haul it across the deserted area, trying to look for a sign, or any single clue, that would point her to the location of Lumiose and the hotel where she was supposed to be checking into in a few hours!
Dig Dig Dig . . . What's this?! Congratulations, You've found a RARE BONE ! A bone that is extremely valuable for Pokémon archeology. It can be sold for a high price to shops.

As Rachel continued to hike through the desolation that was known as the Badlands, she could only shake her head as she remembered how she was literally sweet-talked into riding that particular taxi upon arriving at the Kalos region’s national airport. Some driver who knows the entire region like the back of his hand, my ass, she thought to herself with a scowl on her face as she dwelt on that little fiasco that had gotten her right into this very piece of trouble. After ten minutes of continuous hounding in French about whether or not he could get her to Lumiose, and the subsequent realization that he could not—as opposed to what he was saying earlier, and it was clearly a contradiction of views—she’d finally snapped and yelled at the taxi driver himself. The two had gotten into quite the argument; one that could rival any petty lover’s quarrel—but this one was just borderline extreme! After finally getting fed up with what had happened, the taxi driver decided to retaliate in the worst way possible: by dropping her off in the middle of nowhere.
That happened to be where she was located right now. She continued to fume about the disastrous luck she had with her own sense of direction, and very nearly missed the bone that was lying exposed in her path—but instead felt a sudden jolt run up her arm, before turning around in time to see the pile of luggage finally fall to the ground. That just happened to be the last straw; before she finally snapped and punted her luggage aside, to reveal the offender: a bone that looked like it had seen better days. “Have I wandered into a junk yard or something… or have I walked into a cemetery…” she muttered as she then critically glowered at the bone—before sending it flying with a kick; watching it vanish into the distance. Grumbling, she then set out to rearrange her luggage back atop her stroller, before lugging the weird mass again through the area. Why did she have to step on a bone, of all things? That was genuine, certified creepy.

After managing to stack up the fallen pieces of luggage and precariously balance them all again (with some semblance of order) Rachel continued the trek across the desolate stretch of land. She didn’t know that it was called “the Badlands”, all she knew was that the taxi driver had gotten her into this rather annoying pickle, and it was up to her now to get herself out of it. She was now cursing in the back of her mind for not packing along some “emergency rations” if ever something like this came up—but who knew that she’d get the monkey wrench, the “one in a million” chance of bad luck actually smacking her in the face right now. Man, if Walter was here, he’d be seriously laughing his ass off at my predicament. Knowing him? He’d always seize the chance to mock me whenever I mess up… she mused to herself, feeling another twinge of annoyance pass over her face as she suddenly had a mental image of that blonde-haired, crimson-eyed, glitzy star actor leering down at her derisively.
Shoving the rather demoralizing “mental image” out of her head, she then continued to inch on ever-slowly, making sure not to trip over or bump into any obstacles that were in her path. As of the past few minutes, she’d been walking in a straight line; but with the heat haze effectively disorienting her, she had no idea if she was still walking in a straight line. After several more minutes had passed, she then forced herself to blink; was she seeing things in the haze? What were they again? Mi…rages, or something? I don’t know, but I remember Walter telling me about these weird things that can play tricks with your eyes… she continued thinking to herself—very nearly stepping on the Old Amber that was right in her path! As she looked down; she saw that there was this roundish object glimmering up at her—she then forced herself to rub her eyes in order to be able to clear the cobwebs—and saw that there really was something right there at her feet. Stopping for a few moments to crouch under the shadows of her towering pile of luggage, she then picked it up; and began turning it around this way and that.
“You look…interesting, to say the least. At the best you’d be a fine conversational piece…” she said to herself, examining the smooth, round surface of the fossil that had something seemingly trapped inside it. She then tucked it under her arms, and went on her way…
