Amelia headed out towards the Palpitoad to ask it to calm down. The Palpitoad gave her a stern glare, and then laughed. After having laughed, it then pointed with a tiny shiny bit on its side at the three trainers stuck on a bridge with the water pouring around them.

[color=greenyellow]‘Wait, what? Us?’[/color] the Bug Catcher asked, looking confused.

[color=paleturquoise]‘We didn’t do anything! We even left behind the blasted Water Stone that it was guarding earlier!’[/color] the Lass said, frowning and nodding, looking convinced.

[color=goldenrod]‘Uuuh… actually…’[/color] the Backpacked started to say, with the other two looking somewhat stunned at her.

[color=3A87C5]‘Papapapapapapapa!’[/color] the Palpitoad laughed again, before blasting another shock-wave through the water to cause another wave to blast by the bridge and flood the route, forcing the three to hold on.

[color=greenyellow]‘What did you do!? We said to leave the Water Stone alone as to not anger the Palpitoad…!’[/color] the Bug Catcher said.

[color=goldenrod]‘Nothing! I didn’t do anything! I was just collecting rocks, [i]other rocks[/i] by the lakeside, and then I came back upon the site and the Water Stone was gone!’[/color] the Backpacker said with some desperation.

[color=paleturquoise]‘Between the time we made the agreement and when she found it missing, me and her were together the whole time…’[/color] the Lass said. [color=paleturquoise]‘… that means, it must have been you, who were alone!’[/color] she concluded, pointing at the Bug Catcher.

[color=greenyellow]‘What, ME!?’[/color] the Bug Catcher shook his head. [color=greenyellow]‘I’m a Bug Catcher, what use do I have of a Water Stone! I was busy training my bugs! I didn’t stop until suddenly there was flooding and I joined up with you two on the bridge!’[/color] He then got a thinking expression. [color=greenyellow]‘Now that I think about it, it doesn’t have to be any of us who stole it in person! Didn’t you have a Murkrow!?’[/color] he asked, pointing at the Lass. [color=greenyellow]‘That’s it! While she,’[/color] the Backpacker, [color=greenyellow]‘was distracted by picking rocks, you let your Murkrow out to fly and take the Water Stone, and then stealthily come back with none of us the wiser!’[/color]

[color=paleturquoise]‘I was just relaxing by the water! How is that story more likely than that you just went and took it!?’[/color] the Lass asked with a frown. [color=paleturquoise]‘That is, unless you…’[/color] the Lass glanced at the Backpacker… [color=paleturquoise]‘That is, unless you just simply lied about it being gone when you got there, and you picked it up on the spot!’[/color] 

[color=goldenrod]‘What!? No! I’d never do that!’[/color] the Backpacker tried, looking flustered. [color=goldenrod]‘I may be a collector of rocks, but I wouldn’t go so far as to steal to add to my collection! Collector’s honour!’[/color] she said, putting a hand on her heart.

[color=greenyellow]‘Really…?’[/color] 
[color=paleturquoise]‘Hmmn.’[/color]
[color=goldenrod]‘I-I’m telling you!’[/color] 

The three trainers were giving each other some serious side-eyes.

Uh. That aside.

What’s Amelia’s take on this?
