Vincent was back.
And the reason was quite simple: he was onto something. Something big. Over the past two weeks his expeditions had unearthed objects unlike anything he had ever seen before, sans perhaps his most gross finding ever in the form of an ancient spittoon. Two semi-similar stones of unknown origin that emanated strange wavelength emissions that Vincent could not quite identify with any of the tests he had so far run were the object of Vincent's fascination and time. Their unique traits did not seem to be like anything the Scientist had thus encountered. Even the technology in Vincent's secret projects were simply dwarfed by these mysterious stones.
And that was why Vincent needed to find more. The more stones he found, the more likely he could find some detail about whatever connection these stones had to the mysterious ruins and to each other. Were they a power source? were they somehow worshipped for their mysterious properties? How were the stones created and what was their purpose? there were so many questions that needed answering that Vincent felt almost like a blind man wandering in the abyss.
Vincent had returned to the very same spot in which he had found the first two stones, which appeared to have been left alone since his last (a fact for which he was exceedingly grateful for). Quietly setting up his equipment, Vincent had adjusted several settings to see if he could find the stones with greater ease and accuracy than before. Though nothing was set in stone (no pun intended) and he was keenly aware of the possibility that he could find nothing on this particular trip.
So, activating his scanning device, Vincent waited patiently for the sign of something, anything that might answer the mystery he had stumbled upon...

The scanner started to beep not long after vincent started, indicting that it had found something. As Vincent moved over and looked over the device, it began to take more detailed scans of the ground. gradually, a somewhat low resolution picture appeared on a monitor that Vincent held in his hands.
It wasn't much of an object: according to the scans the mass was not remotely resembling any of the stones that Vincent was looking for. It had no energy signature to being with. As the scan continued Vincent got a readout of the various materials in the object. Part copper, part iron, low percentage of gold. roughly 80% oxidized as well, meaning that whatever the item was it was nearly destroyed despite its value.
Physically, Vincent could see that it looked like some kind of ring: very large, roughly half a foot in diameter, ruling out a small piece of jewelry or anything of the sort. it shape did not indicate it was some kind of ancient plate, either. No, it seemed most likely to Vincent that this was in fact some kind of crown, likely from a bygone age. Perhaps that is what this room was: some kind of hidden treasurey. It might explain why so many artifacts lie in this specific spot as opposed to other ones.
Vincent decided to ignore this particular find: it wasn't wort the time digging up at this point. He needed to focus on finding another stone or something of a similar composition.

....Seriously?
As Vincent saw the scanner pick up something, he did indeed notice an energy source at first. For a moment he was even excited that it was something unique: something that he had not found before despite the unusually weak energy signature. Unfortunately, as the scan began to get more and more details, it turned out that something was amiss. It was not a single object that the scanner had picked up, but multiple. Several small objects including one that had an energy signature that it was emitting. Curiosity getting the better of Vincent, he did a closer inspection scan to figure out what it was.
And was sorely disappointed by what he found. It appeared to be a series of objects. Specifically, the following: an apple, a toy clown, a cowboy doll of some kind strapped to a mock rocket, and what appeared to be some kind of "Space man" toy that the scientist could not identify. He was a scientist after all, not a frikkin toymaker. It was one of the rare times that Vincent actually performed a faceplam, quietly running his hand along his face in frustration. What kind of idiot would leave that there? yeah, the scan indicated it was old, but there was still no reason for it to be here.
Resetting the device, Vincent resumed his scans in hopes of finding something he could use...

...What was that?
Vincents scanner let out an unusual beep unlike the previous ones: this beep had a very specific purpose: one that was designed to let him know of an item that, while not what he was looking for, was one of great value:
A fossil.
Fossils were an extremely rare find, and many professors, trainers and other sorts used the device that Vincent was currently using for the expressed purpose of finding them. The reason was simple: A fossil contained the data of ancient pokemon. Pokemon that, with the proper techniques, could be revivied. While pokemon had evolved a great deal in the millions of years of existence since these fossils lived, the pokemon of the far past were by no means outmatched: in fact, their power could be quite considerable if not downright frightening. While not particularly a specialist of fossils, Vincent knew of the process of reviving one, and theorized he could perhaps bring this pokemon back to life with minimal work if he needed to.
While it was not exactly what he was looking for, it felt extremely wrong to leave the fossil unfound. Doing so might be depriving a pokemon of life when it was perfectly in Vincent's power to provide it. With that in mind, Vincent spent the time properly exhuming the fossil before he elected to return to his lab for the time being.
[taking fossil and completing!]
