[ Your phone goes off, and an alert notifies you that it's TIME FOR GAME START. There's a map with GPS pointer showing your location as well as a static pin to guide you to where you need to go. You eventually find yourself inside the Pokemon Daycare. There's a main lobby area (which you find yourself standing in) a front counter, and then behind that a second inside area that's clearly meant for workers only. Here, there's a very large incubator with eggs inside it.

It's very obviously only recently been finished: the inside is an immaculate but bare white. Aside from yourselves, there's only one other person in the room as well as a strange, red, zippy thing that keeps going around the room. He dabs at his bald head. ]

"Oh, I'm so grateful you've come! Mizz 'Strael said you all would be just the right crew to help me get this place up 'n running. My name's Professor Plum. This is Rotom."

[ He gestures to the zippy machine, which makes a crackling, buzzy noise and does a twirl in the air that would probably pass for a chipper hello, if you spoke Pokemon. From another doorway, a large Pink pokemon walks in. ]

"Ah! And there's my other helper. Please say hello to Chansey!"

[ Chansey says its name and waves. ]

"I don't know if Mizz Strael told you or not, but--this incubator is a prototype for a new invention of mine. If we're successful today, we'll be able to reduce the time it takes to hatch Pokemon from days or even weeks to just a few short hours--it'll revolutionize the Pokemon world! But if I'm going to be successful, I'm going to need your help. If you don't mind, I'd like for us to go ahead and get started."

[ Chansey produces the cart with the energy tubes again. This time, in addition to the previous rounds' colors, there are now THREE more colors available: PURPLE, GREEN, and ORANGE.

Professor Plum says, ]

"I've crafted up some more different serums for incubation powering. We still need to pick three again, but I'll leave it up to you which ones you want to use."

Trying them again? [IDK purple????]

Um, I'll take green, I guess.

[This is obviously the only way to proceed.]

[ Taking orange. ]

We are making some decisions, today.

Yyyyep.

[Another taste test it is.]

Hey, look at it this way - if we hadn't, you'd never have worked out Blue was for Booze for Babies, right?

This is true.

[ Purple is quite dry and mildly sweet. Drinking it your tongue will turn black.

Green is exceptionally bitter and quite dry with a spicy aftertaste. You may feel a little more energetic and friendly after consuming it.

Orange is... kind of weird. It starts off really sour but mellows out to be sweet, dry, and a little spicy. It leaves you feeling alert. ]

Well, this is a good balancer, at least.

[On the one hand, this may also be booze.

[On the other, it's gonna get hella diluted, right? And kids need energy.]

Yeah, why not. It'll cut the sweet shit right down--what happened to your mouth?

My mouth? [Patting his mouth.] I don't feel anything.

...This one's weird. But I feel more alert?

It looks like you been eating ink.

....alert could be good.

Huh. Well, I don't feel anything? So just like when you eat candy.

Maybe all three of these?

Hmm, maybe? This one starts...really sour, but then becomes sweet, dry and a little spicy.

This one's good for energy. And it'll help dial the sweet ones down a bit.

So two that's more of a mix and dial down the sweet. It should be balanced.

As much as these things can be.

One purple, green, and orange.

Congratulations! Your unit has managed to successfully complete all of your tasks for the round! The eggs are looking healthy and the machine hums along happily. You each receive ONE TICKET VOUCHER from Professor Plum for an item, redeemable at your leisure.
