Amelia nodded after Smeargle's display of artistic talent and moved over to the Pokémon, kneeling down and gently patting it on the head if Annica or Smeargle let her.
"[color=a187be]Thank you very much Smeargle. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. You're very brave though and I hope things turn out better for you in the future[/color]." She said gently while her Pokémon all turned towards Ledyba and quickly surrounded it to prevent it from trying to run away if it got any smart ideas. Standing back up, Amelia turned towards Eric. "[color=a187be]Smeargle could've been the thief but that seems very unlikely. If you two know her Pokémon that well, then you can attest to whether or not it's this scared all the time. I would believe that it is and being that scared of everything does not lend well to one doing something as daring as stealing an evolution stone from a Pokémon that's likely stronger than it. On top of that, my friends surrounded Ledyba first. That leads be to believe that it said something that drew their suspicions towards it first. On top of that, Smeargle has, and I don't mean this as a joke, painted a clear picture of what it saw. If you're so confident Ledyba didn't steal the water stone, why not let us search it then. Or, we can have my Shuppet test it out. A simple Knock Off could clear you pokemon of any suspicion.[/color]"
