Her eyes flicked over him again, reevaluating him. A Gyarados? Really? Sure she wasn’t one to discriminate, but the boy didn’t strike her as the type. Especially with the two strands of hair that seemed to reach for the sky, defying the laws of physics. [i]Huh. I guess appearances really can’t be trusted,[/i] Korie thought with a frown. The boy moved away from her, looking around the lab as she continued studying him with a small frown. Soon enough an aide entered, returning with two Pokedexes in hand. The boy with the Swablu motioned the aide over and whispered something into his ear, and Korie watched curiously as the aide’s eyes flicked to her with surprise and then anger. Her curiosity morphed into surprise when the aide marched over and started talking about courtesy and politeness and the legality of blackmail. [color=palevioletred]“Excuse me?”[/color] Korie asked when the aide finally took a breather during his spiel, eyes wide. [color=palevioletred]“I—What?”[/color] “Threatening the young man over there!” the aide said, pointing a finger at the man. Korie looked at where he was pointing, seeing no one. [color=palevioletred]“Um?”[/color] she asked, thoroughly flummoxed now. What in Arceus’ name was happening? [hr] [color=palevioletred]“HEY!”[/color] Korie shouted, kicking up dust as she skidded to a half in front of the boy with the hair and the Swablu. [color=palevioletred]“You! What did you tell that aide?”[/color] she demanded, crossing her arms. [color=palevioletred]“He gave me a lecture about the consequences of blackmail and then accused me of stealing something! I didn’t even get a chance to talk to Professor Mangrove!”[/color] Korie paused to take a breath, panting as cogs slid into life inside her head, connecting the pieces. [color=palevioletred]“Arceus — you stole the Pokeball, didn’t you?”[/color] she asked, eyes wide in realization as she looked at the smug-looking boy. [color=palevioletred]“You used me to distract the aide while you snagged a Pokeball — that’s why you set the aide on me,”[/color] Korie surmised, pausing to process it all before whipping her eyes up to glare at the boy. [color=palevioletred]“We’re going back right now. You’re going to return that Pokeball, and I’m going to get my meeting with Mangrove, you hear me?”[/color] [hr] [hider=Log] [b]Inventory:[/b][list][*]Collapsible Bike [*]Laptop [*]Smartphone [*]Wallet [*]Pokedex [/list] [b]Pokemon:[/b][list][*]Daigh “Dei” ♂ — Charmander (5) [/list][/hider] [@rockatiel] [hr]
