Unlike other regions, Aevium features an Elite Eight rather than an Elite Four, making early preparation and team building highly recommended.

|---|---|---|---|
| Save Starly | Money, Shards | None | Easy |
| Missing Mother | Free Haircut, Poke Dollars | None | Medium |
| Wretched Music | Poke Dollars, AP Points | Nighttime Only | Hard |
| Rooftop Battle | Rare Candy, EXP | Level 20 Recommended | Hard |
Visit the Chrysola Hotel arcade to pick up an AP Membership Card. Collecting Achievement Points (AP) allows you to purchase incredible utility items, such as the XP All or EV-training cards, directly from the Gearen Laboratory.
The Missing Mother Walkthrough
The Missing Mother quest is one of the most narrative-heavy early side quests in East Gearen City. It introduces you to Sasha, a local salon worker whose mother, Rosa, has gone missing after a series of private appointments. To complete this quest successfully, you must investigate several apartment complexes across the city before tracking Rosa down to a remote location.
Accept the Request
Visit the Help Plaza board in East Gearen City and accept the Missing Mother request posted by Sasha. Head to the local Hair Salon to speak with her and initiate the search.
Investigate Aqua Apartments
Go to the Aqua Apartments and head up to the second floor. Speak to the female NPC wearing a pink dress. She reveals that Rosa completed her hair appointment but left quickly to visit the Velvet Apartments.
Search Velvet Apartments
Navigate to the Velvet Apartments and make your way to the third floor. Speak to the resident with long brown hair. She confirms Rosa was there but rushed out to her final appointment at the Emerald Apartments.
Visit Emerald Apartments & Oceana Pier
Enter the lobby of the Emerald Apartments. The receptionist informs you that Rosa accidentally left her hairbrush behind and mentioned heading down to Oceana Pier to take care of some urgent business.
Defeat Blackmailer Stella
Head to Oceana Pier and enter the storage facility. You will discover that Rosa runs a secret, free salon for the homeless population of Grand Dream City. Defeat Stella in a battle to stop her from blackmailing Rosa's operation.
| Apartment Location | Target Floor | Key Contact | Clue Provided |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aqua Apartments | Floor 2 | Pink Dress Resident | Rosa departed for Velvet Apartments |
| Velvet Apartments | Floor 3 | Brown Hair Resident | Rosa departed for Emerald Apartments |
| Emerald Apartments | Lobby | Front Desk Clerk | Rosa left hairbrush, went to Oceana Pier |
Stella uses a low-level team, but her Pokemon can catch you off guard if your party is weakened from traveling. Heal your team at the local Pokemon Center before entering the Oceana Pier storage facility.
Rorrim B & The Wretched Music Battle Strategy
Once night falls in East Gearen City (8:00 PM in-game time), a new request titled Wretched Music becomes available at the Help Plaza. The receptionist at the Chrysola Hotel complains of loud, bizarre music shaking the hotel's foundation from the basement. Investigating this disturbance leads to an encounter with the eccentric, music-loving trainer Rorrim B.
To resolve the situation peacefully, you must first battle Rorrim B and then assist him in finding two new members to join his dance troop.
| Rorrim B's Pokemon | Level | Primary Type | Strategy & Counters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Litleo | 8 | Fire / Normal | Use Water or Fighting-type moves like Double Kick. |
| Rockruff | 8 | Rock | Vulnerable to Grass, Water, Fighting, and Steel. |
| Passimian | 8 | Fighting | High physical attack. Use Flying or Psychic moves. |
To satisfy Rorrim B's requirements and get him to leave the hotel basement, locate these two aspiring dancers hidden within the Chrysola Hotel:
- The Aspiring Dancer: Found in one of the standard hotel rooms. She immediately expresses her desire to escape her boring routine and join the troop.
- The Bellhop: Located near the main lobby. He admits to feeling a deep, spiritual connection to Rorrim B's rhythmic beats and leaves his post to dance.
After recruiting both members, return to the hotel basement to watch their transformation. Rorrim B will happily depart, and the hotel receptionist will reward you. Claim your final payout at the Help Plaza counter.
Optional Encounters & Hidden Pokemon Locations
Taking the time to explore every alleyway and building in East Gearen City yields incredible rewards. Several rare Pokemon can be acquired through unique overworld interactions rather than traditional grass grinding.
Shuppet
- Location: Emerald Building (Floor 3)
- Condition: Nighttime only
- Strategy: Trigger the spooky overworld prompt, resist turning around, and battle the Ghost-type.
Voltorb
- Location: Gearen Alleyway Vendor
- Condition: Buy enough Poke Balls
- Strategy: Purchase standard Poke Balls from the specific alley vendor until he gifts you his hidden Voltorb.
Pichu
- Location: Help Plaza Reward
- Condition: Complete early requests
- Strategy: Highly recommended for its competitive egg moves like Fake Out and Icy Wind.
The Poke Ball salesman is located in one of the narrow southern alleyways of East Gearen City. Buying standard Poke Balls from him is a great way to stock up on capture resources while securing a fast Electric-type for your team.
East Gearen Exploration Checklist:
- Defeat the bridge toll-booth trainer to open up the northern path
- Collect the Blue Shard hidden in the trash cans of the southern alleyways
- Trigger the spooky night event on the third floor of the Emerald Building
- Purchase enough Poke Balls to receive the free Voltorb from the alley vendor
- Acquire the AP Membership Card from the Chrysola Hotel arcade
Rooftop Showdown: Battling Trainer Nove
For players looking to test their tactical limits, a wandering trainer named Nove awaits on the rooftop of the Chrysola Hotel. She challenges you to a high-stakes battle with a recommended level of 20. Because this fight sits slightly above the early-game level cap of 18, utilizing status conditions and clever typing is essential to secure victory.
| Nove's Pokemon | Level | Key Behaviors | Recommended Counter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockruff | 20 | Fast physical attacker | Combusken with Double Kick |
| Passimian | 20 | Heavy physical damage | Shuppet with Will-O-Wisp |
To defeat Nove, lead with a Pokemon capable of inflicting status conditions. A wild-caught Shuppet utilizing Will-O-Wisp is highly effective here, as burning Passimian cuts its massive physical attack power in half. Alternatively, utilizing Voltorb's Spark to land a paralysis can swing the speed advantage back in your favor, allowing your starter Pokemon to clean up the remaining threats.
Remember that Pokemon Rejuvenation enforces a strict level cap system. If your Pokemon exceed the current cap of 18 before defeating the first Gym Leader, they will disobey your commands in battle.
