...[color=LightSlateGray]“I’ll leave it to you then,”[/color] Dana said as the Meowstic came into view. Her Duskull slid into the ground as Dana walked towards the Meowstic, who finally looked over, sensing her approach. However, in looking at Dana, it failed to notice her Duskull until the ghost-type was poised to attack; her Duskull’s Confuse Ray hit square-on as the ghost-type drifted into view, readying its Shadow Sneak.

Meowstic stumbled backward a bit in confusion but recovered quickly. In a fit of rage, he unleashed a nasty Psyshock as his counter attack. The attack came in so quickly that Duskull was unable to avoid it. Meowstic's ferocious tenacity would carry him through an otherwise even match-up. The end result...

[b]Luxury Hotel in Mexico City...[/b]
It happened in the middle of the night. Cameras caught the whole thing...

The first sign of foul play was the hotel manager making a call to all staff in order to hold an emergency meeting, including security personnel. As if his order wasn't strange enough, many workers recount a slightly distant undertone to his voice, as if he wasn't all there in the head. When interviewed by the police later that night, the manager swore that he had no recollection of making any such request. In fact, he couldn't remember anything leading up to that moment. 

Once everyone was gathered in the lobby, a fine mist like substance began to fill the air. One after the other, they all fainted. Not ten seconds after the last person fell to the ground, a figure in all black (including a ski mask) emerged from underneath the front desk. This person then ran to a side entrance to open a door. This allowed three more figures in all black to enter, but they were not alone. They were followed by several Rattatta and Zubat, as well as a few other Pokemon (namely: a Koffing, a Muk, and a couple Ekans). The first figure (the one who was already inside) then gave them all master keys to each room. Keys in hand, they ran off with pace and precision, followed by their Pokemon, while the first figure stayed behind with the sleeping hotel workers. 

Over the course of the next thirty minutes, they ran the halls, each one of them carrying a large black bag. They would open the doors, allowing their Rattatta and Zubat to expertly scurry into and out of rooms. They did this until their bags were full. When finished, they ran back downstairs to meet up and make their escape. The last one out the door ([i]the first perp[/i]) was followed by a Drowsey and a Gloom. He/she made sure to wave at the camera on the way out...
