Finally, she asked a pretty simple question to Leila, who… utterly froze up. [color=goldenrod]‘Uh. I mean. Er. Mud Bomb. Muddy Water. Aqua Tail. And, uh…’[/color] Leila said, visibly sweating. [color=greenyellow]‘Waaaaaaaait,’[/color] Eric suddenly remarked, raising an eyebrow at her. [color=greenyellow]‘When we had that practice battle before, didn’t you command it to use Ear-’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘I’M SORRY!!!’[/color] Leila called out, and was suddenly lying on the ground in front of Amelia. [color=goldenrod]‘I was- I wanted to complete my team, because I wanted to have a Vaporeon on my team, so I sent Barboach to cause that earthquake… which successfully distracted the Palpitoad…’[/color] She then took a deep breath. [color=goldenrod]‘B-but I chickened out! Annica was right behind me, after all! If I went to pick it up, it’d be inevitable that at least one of the four of them saw! I didn’t even dare to look back at her a single time, just in case I looked suspicious! I swear, I didn’t actually steal it, I only, uh, I only plotted to do it! I’m so sorry…!’[/color] she cried, on her knees and seemingly telling the truth. Are there any new revelations to me made from this?

We came to Route 2 together.’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘We came across the Water Stone, but Palpitoad protected it.’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘I sent Barboach to cause an earthquake, but got too scared to take the stone!’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘I didn’t dare look back on Annica, in case I looked suspicious!’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘Any one of her multiple Pokémon could have been looking at me!’[/color] [color=goldenrod]‘I later checked on the Palpitoad and the Water Stone, but both were gone.’[/color][/hider] [hider=TESTIMONY: Lass Annica][center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/0a/Spr_Masters_Lass.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/kkQlKFu.png[/img][/url][/center] [color=paleturquoise]‘I went to set up camp for us for later, because we were going to spend time here.’[/color] [color=paleturquoise]‘I didn't do much else, just watched Leila nearby by the waterside.’[/color] [color=paleturquoise]‘There was this odd earthquake out at the water at one point, maybe a different Palpitoad?’[/color] [color=paleturquoise]‘Leila eventually left towards the site where we found the Water Stone and Palpitoad.’[/color] [color=paleturquoise]‘It was shortly after that Palpitoad started washing over the route with water.’[/color] [color=paleturquoise]‘Anyways, I don't particularly have a reason to want a Water Stone.’[/color][/hider] [hider=TESTIMONY: Bug Catcher Eric][center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6b/VSBug_Catcher_PE.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/a4txroy.png[/img][/url][/center] [color=greenyellow]‘Yeah, while those two were doing boring things, I went Pokémon hunting!’[/color] [color=greenyellow]‘I was battling the wild Pokémon of Route 2 the entire time!’[/color] [color=greenyellow]‘There was that weird earthquake at one time, and I saw Palpitoad depart to investigate.’[/color] [color=greenyellow]‘So there was a time there when the Water Stone was unguarded.’[/color] [color=greenyellow]‘… I was tempted.

It didn’t do a lot of damage, due to Escavalier’s significant defense. [color=7192de]‘You can take that, right, Escavalier? Go! Twineedle!’[/color] Lorette commanded, and the cavalry bug took off towards Roxanne! … REALLY slowly, it bounced over towards her, more than slowly enough for her to successfully get off a Harden! Still, arrive Escavalier eventually did, and chucked both of its lances at her, and- It basically didn’t do damage at all, Roxanne’s formidable defense and Harden combined. However, a secondary effect of the two lances came into effect, and… Roxanne was poisoned! [color=7192de]‘Excellent job, Escavalier! Now, just stay alive!’[/color] Lorette commanded, and Escavalier fell back… really slowly. Pulled by Magnet Pull, too. Roxanne’s health would be slowly decreasing… What will Basil do now?
