The Green pouch was not Empty and did not belong to Omar. So Green’s contents are either the Bag of Rice or the Guardian Token clue, and Omar cannot have Green.

Neither Mina nor Axel chose the Blue pouch. So Blue must belong to either Omar or Natasha.

The Empty pouch was not the Blue or Yellow pouch. Therefore the Empty pouch is either Red or Green.

Axel did not choose the Red pouch. So Axel is either Blue, Green, or Yellow.

The Blue pouch did not contain the Guardian Token clue or the Flint Shard. So Blue’s contents, whatever its owner, must be the Bag of Rice or Empty.

Mina did not choose the Red or Green pouch. Combining this with the earlier Blue restriction for Mina, Mina cannot be Red, Green, or Blue, which forces Mina to be Yellow.

Natasha did not choose the Blue pouch. Since Blue is not allowed for Mina, Axel, or Natasha, Blue must belong to Omar.

Mina received the Flint Shard. Because Mina is Yellow, Yellow contains the Flint Shard. From earlier, Blue cannot contain the Flint Shard or the Guardian Token clue, so Blue must contain the Bag of Rice. That gives Omar the Bag of Rice.

Now place the remaining contents. The Empty pouch cannot be Blue or Yellow, and Green was stated to be not Empty. Therefore the Empty pouch must be Red, which forces Green to contain the Guardian Token clue.

Assign the remaining colors to people. We already have Mina as Yellow and Omar as Blue. The remaining colors are Red and Green for Axel and Natasha. Axel is not Red, so Axel must be Green, leaving Natasha as Red.

Answers

Mina chose the Yellow pouch and received the Flint Shard.
Omar chose the Blue pouch and received the Bag of Rice.
Axel chose the Green pouch and received the Guardian Token clue.
Natasha chose the Red pouch and received the Empty pouch.

Axel has the Guardian Token Clue.
