(((pre-skip:))I wake up from my hour-long nap, and rip off two large sticks and start to use them as crutches. I hobble back, past the lake, past the bushes, and back behind the gates of the town. I limp-walk with my crutches and try to find a place where I could get some more information, and as I do, one of the makeshift crutches starts to bend, and I release some tension on it. I couldn't afford to have these break until I found someone who could help me heal. I go to the nearest healer I knew, and ask him for help. He puts a cast on me and I am told to rest for a few days.
After getting the cast, I hop to the building where they hand-wrote the news and handed them some paper and the evidence. They gave back the evidence after a quick inspection and told me that it was most likely an Absol and a Scrafty, Scraggy, or Haxorus. I nod, and take back the materials. I walk outside, and carefully make my way down the stairs, then sit down at a wall, but not for too long. I go to my house and sleep on the bed.
((post-skip:))After healing a bit, I take my own look at the evidence and determine it's a Haxorus scale and Absol fur. But which ones? There are many in Allure Town already. Was there any explanation? I think. I shake my head and get up from the bed, and exit my house. They could have been wilds. Their fur and scales just coming off from fighting one of the monsters... I think. I write down on a piece of paper, "If seen with these characteristics, please tell William Lennard at 233 Green Ave. Look for any Haxorus missing some scales from it's tusks, or a talon/claw. Also look out for an absol missing a few tufts of hair. These are suspects for a burglary of an artifact. Do not confront either, as they could be dangerous." I find something on the ground that was sticky, and post that note up on a wall where people could see it. I walk out of town, and get on my way back to the Foggy Plains, hopefully to find more evidence. I don't stop to rest, or even to eat a berry. I was making haste, since the possible burglars may have a chance in not being caught.
As I get there, a Sawk is right in front of me. There was no running or hiding from this one, I had to fight him. I used Feint Attack and Scratch in that order, and then dodged one attack, buck get grabbed and punched, then thrown down to the ground, and hit with a Karate Chop. I push him off and grab a rock and throw it at his forehead, and it hits. I take the moment while he's stunned to bolt out and into the fog.
I stumble around, tripping on a bush or two, and walking directly into a wall. I rub my face and look at the wall. What was a wall doing here? I ask myself as I walk around the wall. I see some papers, a few matches, and a box with the human's language on it. I look at the jumble of letters and it says "CAMEL." I put it in my backpack and grab whatever was on the table. A folder, a pencil, and a small link of round steel balls, like a chain. Maybe used to operate something. My backpack was full of books, metal objects, and something with a translucent material in the shape of a flattened rectangular prism. I zip up my bag and walk, searching for another possible hint or clue to this crime.
I find the floating altar again, and make a few quick looks around, making sure there were none of the strange pokemon that had the power to break bones and throw people great distances. I closely examine the altar, and once I found nothing, I examine the ground around the area, and find some footprints when I stick my face as close to the ground as possible. Absol footprints. I follow them for a while, and then remember that these criminals could be very dangerous. I go back to Allure Town, past the lake, and past the structure that I made, with confirmation of at least one of the species of Pokemon.
When I arrive, I look for anyone that could be interested in old human technologies. No one wanted any, yet. Maybe I would find someone later. I had to go confirm that it was an Absol that helped steal the relic and that I was on the brink of finding them, hopefully. I go to my house, and wait for a knock at the door, or someone bursting in saying "I saw them, I saw them! I know where they are and you can arrest them!" I chortle at the thought of someone doing that 2nd thing.
