"Thank you." Amelia said gently as she accepted the cup of water, smiling as she caught the lemon scent before drinking from it. When told to follow the older woman, she got up from her seat and did as she was told, keeping a bit behind Evelyn as they walked through the building. As they walked through the hall, Amelia couldn't help but look at all the other people who were hard at work for the League, a bit surprised at the how many there actually were. She had heard running such a thing took a lot of people but the closest thing she knew of were the Florasong music festivals but the committees for those seemed small by comparison.

When they arrived at the lab, the strong smell of coffee caused Amelia to gag for a second. It was a smell she was used to but not to such a degree, as it overpowered everything. It was like she was drinking a cup herself, though she knew better than to do so for her own health. By the time she recovered, she caught the man who seemed to be desperately in need of sleep mentioning her mentor. She was then addressed by the Champion, who's question caused the girl to blush a bit and look at the ground.
"N-no. I just... usually stay up late so... I slept in." She admitted in a quiet and nervous tone, wishing she still had her hoodie on to cover her face.

When the Professor asked his question though, the girl's head shot up, looking the man in the eye. Her expression changed to a serious one and when she spoke, there was a resolve in her tone that had previously been absent.
"I did choose to do this. Sensei gave me the option to come here and I gladly accepted. I will not let my parents keep me caged up forever and dictate my life for me!" She said. "I'll prove to them that my health won't hold me back and that I can do more then they think, with or without their approval. I'm not going back there and you can't make me!"

Amelia took her time to catch her breath as the secretary read her letter before giving her instructions to wait while they got the person in charge. Amelia took one of the seats that had been pointed out to her, taking off her backpack and the hooded shirt she had on, wearing a black tank top underneath. As she waited, she took some time to look around her and take in the majesty of the building she was in. She recognized many of the flowers they had, since they grew back home and the fountain in the center fascinated her.

When Evelyn arrived, she would find the young girl examining the fountain more closely. Amelia was so focused, she didn't notice the older woman until she spoke, causing her to jump as she turned to face rhe head of the League.
"I-it's nice to meet you." She said nervously while accepting the handshake. "I'm doing fine. A glass of water would be great, thank you."




"I'm late, I'm late, I'm so late!" A young girl muttered to herself as she ran through the streets of Grand Glory City. The girl made sure to pace herself, as she didn't want to collapse in the middle of the street due to her heart acting up. The last thing she wanted was to cause a scene, that was for certain. So, while she moved faster than what she normally would, she made sure that she slowed down for periods of time to keep herself healthy.

The girl had woken up later then she had planned, on account of her natural sleeping habit of staying up late and sleeping in from her time back home. One top of that, the unfamiliar city was so large and she found herself getting lost several times. It took all she had just to approach strangers to ask for help to find her destination. Even then, she found their directions confusing, which resulted in her being delayed longer. Eventually though, she did make it to the Pokemon League's administration building, pretty much bursting through the front door, where she placed her hands on her knees and caught her breath. She couldn't recall the last time she had ran so much and she could hear her heart pounding in her ears.

When approached by a member of staff, the girl would wordlessly hold out a letter for them to look at, explaining why she was there.










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.
"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." 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. "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."


"True, it's not helpful to us. But, we got plenty of pokemon here who listened and understood what Ledyba was saying." Amelia said, looking at her Ghosts and the pokemon everyone else had out. She wasn't going to order the other trainer's pokemon, but her own were fine. "So, Litwick, Shuppet, Pumpkaboo, Phantump, Driffloon, and Honedge. If someone here was brought up by Ledyba as the one that attacked them, can you move over to them?"

Her pokemon all let out cries of confirmation before every single one of them moved over to Annica, floating around the trainer Ledyba had brought up. While this wasn't the most damning evidence, Amelia did remember something the others had brought up earlier.

"I see. As I recall, you do possess a pokemon that can inflict status conditions. I know you said you left it behind but... could you have lied to us?" Amelia said, turning her attention to accused Trainer.


"If that is the case, then we're back to this being the result of some trainer attacking Ledyba. Now, there are many trainers here along the Route. It would be illogical for us to run around accusing them wildly of attacking Ledyba or of taking the water stone, assuming the two events are connected in some way. Instead, we need to see if our little friend here might know who attacked and burned them." Amelia said before turning to Eric. "Since they're your pokemon, would you mind treating them and seeing if you can get them to help us figure out who might have hurt them."


"It could have something to do with the case. It could have nothing. You need to eliminate all possibilities, do you not?" Amelia said to Leila in a friendly tone before turning back to Ledyba. "The fact is, we don't know of any pokemon on the Route that could burn Ledyba. It would make sense if it fought a trainer who had a pokemon like my Litwick but Eric said he was battling wild pokemon. However, there are no Fire-Types here."

Pausing for a second, Amelia closed her eyes and thought about it a bit further.
"However, there is a possibility. There is a move I remember hearing about. It's Water-Type and it can burn the targets. I can't remember what it's called but I know it's typically learned by more powerful pokemon. Like say... a Palpitoad or something of a similar level?" She said, trying to recall from her lessons and studies. She needed to try and remember the move. She had planned to use it incase she ever got a Frillish.


Phantump and Pumpkaboo quickly retreated once the two birds came flying in, laughing a bit as they returned to their trainer, who quickly grabbed them and held them close.
"No. Bad!" She said to them, somewhat sternly. "I'm fine with you scaring people, that's a harmless prank. But you do not play with other people's things without their permission, understood?"

The two little ghosts seemed surprised that their trainer was not taking their side but Amelia's other pokemon quickly chimed to help their trainer. In the end, the two turned towards the other three trainers and let out what sounded like regretful cries, though whether it was because they got in trouble or to apologize.

Still, Amelia was thankful for the little distraction was was not going to punish the two any further then making sure they didn't slip away from her. Glancing around at the evidence again, her eyes fell on Eric's Ledyba... then she quickly glanced at the list of pokemon on her pokedex again before looking back up at the Ledyba.
"Eric... how did you Ledyba get a burn when there are no pokemon on the Route capable of applying a burn to it? After all, you said you were battling wild pokemon. But all I see here are mostly Water, Grass, and Normal types. Not prime candidates of afflicting burns to pokemon." She said, glancing up at him. She could think of a plausible reason and it would make sense but why would he lie about it if that was the case.


Amelia sighed as Phnatump and Pumpkaboo ended up getting into a bit of trouble.
"Phantump, Pumpkaboo, no going through other people's stuff." She said, though she did find something odd about Annica stopping them. The bags should've been empty after all.

The two tiny ghosts looked at each other. They had been told not to go through the bag. But, they hadn't been told to leave the bags alone. So they floated away for now and gave Amelia the items they had found to their trainer, who smiled and gave them some pats on the head before the two little ones floated away again. Driffloon returned a short time later, and Amelia once again accept the items and fed one of the Oran Berries to it as a thanks, figuring it deserved the food. Once that was done, she turned back to the trainers.
"So, back on topic. Leila, something just occurred to me. You said Annica had many pokemon, but she only brought out Murkrow and Fletchling. Does that mean she only brought those two along with her today or does she have more on her that she hasn't brought out yet?" She asked.

Meanwhile, as Amelia had the trainer's attention, Phantump and Pumpkaboo had returned to the bags and began playing a game of catch with them. Words had been chosen poorly by their trainer and Annica.
