He scampered forward with Nils and Clarissa as they retrieved the balls, his large ears on alert. Nils had let out something of a relieved sigh and inspected the pokeball that his new Igglybuff was in, barely able to see the pokemon through the translucent top. It seemed a little surprised, and... almost like it was pouting. It didn't seem too upset by this turn of events though, but even if it had been Nils would have found it hard to be sympathetic when the two little terrors had been bullying a helpless teenager. He turned to Clarissa to express some of that sentiment when he noticed that her attention was set on the cavern's far wall. He traced her gaze to it, surprised to see what looked like a painted map. A map of a very familiar region! [color=F27357]"Oh, whoa. It's Evig...!"[/color] Nils said, looking over the mural and noting all of the details he could. Turned out it was only half of Evig. He also had much the same idea as Clarissa to snap a photo, and his own phone (still with the flashlight enabled) floated up to take a few. Two of the marked places on the map were actually pretty close to Grand Glory... maybe Clarissa and Amelia wouldn't mind heading to one of them to check it out later. Nils went to take a step forward as though he wanted to touch the map, but at that time the punk had grabbed both trainers and was thanking them profusely. Nils patted the guy on the back a few times. [color=F27357]"Sure, sure, glad we could help."[/color] The punk really was terrified. Just what had those Igglybuff been doing to him before they got there? Or maybe it was a combination of getting lost in the crazy, unexpected tunnel network and then being pushed around by the little pokemon. Regardless, once the sound of other pokemon approaching reached the three humans and their own pokemon, they hustled out of the cavern. A part of Nils wanted to stay and confront these new threats, but Rau was his only fresh pokemon. Tors was badly hurt now, the Aron he'd yet to name was hurt, and the Igglybuff he'd just caught... well, he'd be a little too optimistic to rely on that one. Retreat it was. Nils spent the hurried trek back to the hole in the wall with the punk clinging onto him while Clarissa got her extra footage. He tried to soothe the other kid as best he could while Rau (who had neglected to return to his pokeball) spent the time on Nil's shoulder, alternating between hissing at the punk and pausing to try and see if anything was following them. Thankfully nothing was, and they made it back up to the actual sewer section of Grand Glory's underground soon enough. There, Nils extracted himself from the still nervous grip of the punk and shot the detective who'd been waiting for them a smile. [color=F27357]"You wouldn't believe what we had to go through, though,"[/color] he told Dudley. And then he added, [color=F27357]"We didn't see anyone else down there... but there were some weird pokemon that I think might be involved with your case?"[/color] Nils didn't know if catching the 'perpetrator' was going to be important to a private investigator, since his main job had been retrieving this kid. If not, maybe the man would just go to the police to investigate the other disappearances... realistically, a pair of new trainers probably shouldn't be the ones spearheading that kind of thing in the first place, however tempting it was to do so. The notification chime sounded from both of said trainers' phones then, displaying the text message from Amelia. Nils' own response back to the girl was much shorter than the one his companion had sent. In fact, it was only a single picture. The rotom phone floated up to take a candid shot of everyone in the dimly lit sewer room: Clarissa was in the back typing away on her own phone, the detective and the punk kid were in the middle ground talking, and in the foreground off to one side of the frame was Nils and his new Rattata, the only ones actually aware of the quick photo. Everyone in the pic looked varying levels of dirty and disheveled but otherwise alright, and Nils giving the camera a smile and thumbs up. Whether the thumbs up was in response to doing okay or still wanting to travel with Amelia or both went unanswered. Nils pocketed the phone after that, turning to Clarissa when she addressed him. [quote=Clarissa][color=violet]"Let's hurry back to Amelia at the Pokemon Center, Nils. Before we all get into any more trouble down here perhaps."[/color][/quote] [color=F27357]"No arguments here,"[/color] he said. [color=F27357]"But, eh, something tells me we'll probably get into trouble up there too."[/color] He'd already been smiling, but his expression brightened even more when he saw Clarissa's own attempt at it. He nodded, then looked back at Dudley and the kid they'd rescued. [color=F27357]"You've got everything handled here if we head out, detective? And if it'll help your, uh, business, I don't mind if you take all the credit for finding this guy."[/color] He did glance at Clarissa after saying so, not yet familiar enough with her to know if she felt the same. For Nils, he would rather stay out of the center of any potentially big stories like this one. He could only imagine what his parents would say if he started drawing anymore special attention to the family. Regardless, he was about ready to head back up top as well. After finally convincing Rau to return to his ball Nils prepared to lead the way out of the sewers. [color=F27357]"Let's get going!"[/color] [indent][/indent] [right][@Joshua Tamashii][@Crusader Lord][@Remram][/right]
