Premise

While visiting Lumina, the main character encounters Niccolo in "Heatbreaker Jessica's" Gem Shop. The cunning merchant claims that he wants to go to Mindas Ruins since he heard a rumor about a certain Flowerling using psychokinesis. Niccolo is determined to prove that such skill doesn't exist so he wants to meet this magical creature. The duo decides to venture into the ruins until they cross path with a male Flowerling praising the virtues of psychokinesis. Niccolo tells the main character that if they can catch him, they can put it on display and make a fortune out of it. The merchant tries to nab the creature, but it teleports away after running around in circles for a short while. Disheartened, Niccolo ask his acolyte to get out of the ruins. After making they way back to the entrance, Niccolo claims that the Flowerling couldn't use psychokinesis and that's the reason he ran away.
