[The video turns on to what seems to be somewhere on Route 30, though not too far from the exit of Cherrygrove.

And although Kaito is correct, just a little more details and he'll get his hands on these sweet picarats. The Professor's smile is a clear indication that he's close to the answer.]
And what would that man do when the sun sets, my boy?

Go through the magnifying glass room. The sun can't fry him if it's not out.

It's great to see another enjoying riddles as well. Do you happen to know any to tell me? I would like a good challenge now and then.

You want one from me? It might be a little tough; you sure you're up for it?

Haha, I think I could go for it. It has been a challenge since I last got one. Let's see if you can stump me, my boy.

What gets wetter the more it dries?

The answer is a towel, correct, my boy? The more it dries our hands and our counters, the more wet it becomes.

Another puzzle solved. That was a wonderful riddle. Would you happen to know any more?

I've got a few. What about this one:
Times are hard in a small rural town. Business is slowing and people are moving out. It just so happens that there are two horse dealerships in town. Unfortunately, there's only enough people to support one of the dealerships. So the two owners meet and decide that one of them must leave town, and since neither of them want to leave they, devise a competition to see who gets to stay. It's decided that they will race their horses across town. They don't want to damage their horses, so they change the race rule so that whoever's horse crosses the finish post LAST wins the race and gets to stay in town.
The next day, they set off. Both are going as slow as possible and taking rests and are nowhere near finishing. After a few hours, a wise old man tells them to dismount and gives them some advice, after which the two sprint back to the horses and gallop towards the finish line as fast as they can ( ... )

"As fast as they can"..."The race rules were not changed"..."Finish post LAST wins the race"... Did they race backwards? No no no, that's not logical. It was something the man said to change everything. What could an old man tell him to get back on their horses and speed away? Something about gold, perhaps? No, that wouldn't be it. And didn't they say they didn't want to damage their horses? Wait...the horses? If they both raced as fast as they can after mounting the ho- Aha! Consider this puzzle solved!]
When the two men has gotten off their horses and listened to the wise old man, they were instructed to get on their opponent's horses instead of their own. This would ensure that whoever gets past the finish line first, their own horse will cross last.

I do have to admit, it had me stumped for a while.
It seems you know quite a lot riddles, my boy. I am glad that others share my interest in them.
