Somehow, Archie's mother knew that the next time she'd see him that she would have to give him a spank for some reason.
Thankfully, Bravos was less inclined to follow too deeply in his trainer's antics and with some help from the Rotom that lived in the phone, it began to scan the pink goop. It then pinged and with its all too familiar robotic timbre read out an entry.
However, this seemed to have not gone under the notice of either Archie or Neil though the latter was dealing with this precocious little boy though it was obvious that the kid was not going to let up. On one hand, he knew that he should have just told the kid to go home or do something else, but for some reason he got the feeling that it would somehow be even more troublesome if Archie was left to his own devices.
"Okay, look, there is no feasible way that you can question that many people, but I can tell you that most of them are seasonal workers. They aren't here long, but we have core staff members that are here all year round. If there's anyone here that would likely be the thief, it would most likely be them. They know the inner workings of this place better than anyone else." He said as he lifted his hand and began to lift a finger while he listed each one of them off.
"There's Hurly, Robbie, Danny, Billy, and Bobby, and yes, those are actually their names. One of them should be manning the cameras right now and the rest of them are probably shearing some wool from the Mareep and Wooloo and milking some of the Miltanks. Who do you want to talk to first?"
What does Archie wish to do?

Well, it was less sea legs and more like lake legs though it certainly had less of a ring to it. Once she was back of terra firma she made her way to the docks and found a clearing...
Upon approaching the ticket stand, an elderly man would ask her for 50P, a rather meager sum for the rare privilege to travel from location to location comfortably. When she received a ticket, she would have to wait around with other people who were chatting with each other, or they were looking at the timetables impatiently though Evelyn would not need to wait long. A ferry arrived and people from their daily commute stepped off it one by one before she could enter.
Eventually, Evelyn could have her options of sitting outside and admire the mid-afternoon sky as the sun was just beginning to show signs that it was beginning its descent, or she could sit inside because lakes were prone to being windy around this time of day.
After a not so short period of time, she could see a town not too far off on the horizon. If she were to wait long, as if she had any choice at this point anyway, she would be rewarded. The ship would soon dock and...

Yeah, 3500P was not going to be enough to buy a Good Rod. The Bogan was, to put it delicately, broke, but at the very least she was not as broke as Clarissa.
When asked about what kind of Pokemon she'd be looking for in the park, Freya rubbed her chin in thought as she pondered. "Could be a Poliwag, but that doesn't really match the rumors. The lake is connected by a river to Lake Charity and Lake Charity is connected to a river of melt off from Route 8 and Mt. Ymir. It could really be anything."
As for asking whatever fisherman that were around, they were not much help except they all had a common thing to say: whatever it was, it was a timid Pokemon. That was probably why they were having trouble even finding it in the first place.
Anyway, once all of that was done Freya and Steph would go to one to the stand and rent one of those Swanna pedal boats for 250P because I am not a monster though it was probably still too much money for the privilege to ride in an oversized rubber duck, but these were meant for ripping off tourists anyway. They would pedal their way into the middle of the lake in the Swanna Boat and cast their rods.
Thankfully, luck was on Steph's side this time and Rupert was not going to get a new friend today. Steph felt the line on her rod tug and with all of her strength she reeled it in. What broke through the surface was a very green fish with a large black mark along its back highlighted by a white stripe.
Pokedex Entry #550-Patrat, the Mellow Pokemon. They live in frigid waters, forming schools and sharing food among themselves. When the time comes, they return to the river they were born in. Its ecology is starkly different from that of other Basculin, so theories that it's a totally different species have gained traction in recent years.
Freya looked at it with disbelief. "The heck is that thing doing here? It should be in one of the rivers and lakes by Route 8!"
What does Steph do?

The boy looked up at entourage that approached him and the girl kissing the earth. Clarissa introduced herself to him awkwardly. "Sup, call me Frankie." He responded calmly, understanding that this was certainly a weird looking situation. Frankie then glanced over to Valerian who questioned the appropriateness of poking passed out girls with sticks. "When you put it like that you make it sound like I'm the asshole here. I'm just checking to see if she's alive or not and I'm sure not going to touch a potential corpse."
This was then followed by Vivian groaning and slowly lifting herself off the ground. "See, alive although her pride is probably a foot in the grave." He commented to himself though his eyes were less focused on the crowd and more on a specific naughty ghost getting up to no good.
It then all happened so quickly; the Phantump shouted, Vivian's Pokemon came out in her defense, and Atlas went in guns, er, fist blazing. However, a flash of light came from a Pokeball and a little yellow lizard with sagging skin that resembled baggy pants threw a fist radiating cold energy and collided with Atlas' Fire Punch. The strange thing was that Atlas' felt like it could not throw all of its entire weight in that punch, as if it had been intimidated. A stream of steam flowed from between their fists.
The group's Rotom Phones read out the following entry.
Pokedex Entry #559-Scraggy, the Shedding Pokemon. It stretches its saggy skin up to its neck to protect itself. Among Scraggy, individuals with saggier skin apparently garner more respect.
However, at the same time Frankie's Rotom Phone hovered in front of him and read the entries of Atlas and Gawain though Frankie was more focused on the current situation at hand.
"Hey, hey, let's take it down a few notches, okay? We did some things that we aren't proud of, but I am sure that this can be resolved peacefully." He said in hopes to de-escalate the situation.
What does everyone do?
