[@Joshua Tamashii] [color=3A87C5]‘Palpa…!’[/color] the Palpitoad blinked at Amelia about the idea that he might be washing away the Water Stone. He promptly stopped washing water everywhere, but regardless glared at the three trainers and called out at them. [color=3A87C5]‘Palpitoad!’[/color] [color=greenyellow]‘Wait, why must WE present our cases? If all three of us were occupied, why can’t mean that you weren’t-’[/color] the Bug Catcher randomly started asking Amelia. [color=paleturquoise]‘She wasn’t even on Route 2 at the time, blockhead,’[/color] the Lass said, sighing a bit, and the Bug Catcher halted his accusation. [color=paleturquoise]‘Okay, if we have to start somewhere, why don’t the one who found it missing start?’[/color] she continued, looking towards the Backpacker. [color=goldenrod]‘Uuuuuh… I mean, if I must…’[/color] the Backpacker said, looking somewhat worried for whatever reason. Palpitoad looks at the inquizically... but encounters the problem that he's unable to question the witnesses himself. As all three of them are the suspects, the only one around he could turn to was Amelia. [color=3A87C5]‘Palpitoad!’[/color] he tells to her, skips over, and gives her a small yellow stone. Attorney's Badge was submitted to evidence.

We came to Route 2 together.’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘We came across the Water Stone, but Palpitoad protected it.’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘I went with Annica, and checked the waters for rare rocks while she set up camp.’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘I can confirm Annica was with me the entire time, until I left.’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘I did so to check on the Palpitoad and the Water Stone, and found both to be gone.’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘Nothing else of note happened.’[/color][/hider] Leila submits her Pokémon, a Barboach, as evidence. She also submits her belongings.

She also submits her belongings.

I would have wanted to gift Amy a Water Stone for her Staryu...’[/color] [color=greenyellow]‘But I'm in no rush! I'll find her another one!’[/color][/hider] Eric submits his Pokémon, a Surskit and a Ledyba, as evidence. He also submits his belongings. … And now it was time for Amelia to cross-examine.
