(Ah, sorry Dark Void. I forgot about your post)
The one thing Alex saw happening outside of town was someone walking out of one building at the edge of town with a crate. He didn't look around carefully or anything, but he was just walking all the way to the other building on the other side of town, giving in that one while carrying the load.
"There's been a number of hooded figures lately," the bartender said, wiping the counter at this time. "Showed up outta nowhere two days ago. They come by alot for a drink, but they don't talk much. I don't think they spend their nights at the inn, though."
"Hah! That Blastoise?" an Umbreon sneered, tossing a gold coin into the pot. "Just a silly con man. He doesn't live here. Showed up while I was selling my goods and wanted a bargain for that suit I had on display. So that bodyguard of his was a Vaporeon, eh? Wouldn't say anything but she had quite the atmosphere around her; makes you want to do something exciting. Call." Another three coins tossed into the pot. Everyone else doesn't raise and reveal their hands. "Straight flush," the Umbreon said, grinning, "I'll be taking this little pile, thank you. So anyway, she didn't bother to get a room in the inn. Just took the abandoned little shack right across from here."
The described place was the same spot that the Blastoise was found in. "Add one," the Umbreon said, tossing four in. "Well, I don't know about you, but doing any business with her could be trouble."
