When you first arrive in Route 3, your Mom approaches:

You gain the Hoverboard.

When you pass by on the cliffs overhead, the scene plays out below:

• "Interrupted"? The whole operation has been ruined!

Shaft Boss

• There was a ... a kid.

Spyder Agent

• A kid?!

Shaft Boss

• But we did manage to dig up one part of the Ancient One.

Spyder Agent

• Hush! You know that's top secret. Alright, hand it over and scram!
