-Crow comes up, feels the tension, and notices the scene-
Crow: "...What happened he-"
-Crow steps into a patch of moonlight and transforms into a Murkrow-
Murcrow: <-re.>
<...Er...>

-Straw is passing through an alley as a shortcut to North Boulevard from the inner plazas, when he is stopped by two Skiddo, a Litleo, and a Furfrou-
...Uh. Do you guys mind moving?
-None of them move-
...Okay then.
Catherine:<Creepy.>
Palutena:<Maybe they're about to mug us?>
Zangetsu:-unsheathes his blades- <I saw we fight them.>
-A loud cat-like screech is heard from the other side of the alley, and the group of Pokemon begin to move towards Straw and co. Upon moving, Straw sees a Bulbasaur with a black spot on its forehead, acting like a Murkrow-
There's another Bulbasaur... Wonder if it'll- GAH!
-Straw is tackled by the Furfrou and Litleo, the latter trying to pry his bag off of him-
Palutena:<Oh dear, it would appear we have a situation on our hands.> -grabs the Litleo with her ribbons, and tries to pull him off-
-Meanwhile, Catherine assaults the Furfrou with Flamethrower while Zangetsu fights the Skiddo, his blades pushing them back. Eventually, Straw is able to get free, but not without the Litleo sneaking up on him, and dashing off with his bag-
Hey! Catherine, stop him with Psychic!
-Catherine instead opts to smack the Litleo with her stick as he passes, sending it across the ground-
...Okay that works too.
-Straw goes and picks up his bag as the rest of the mons are driven off, including the Bulbasaur. As Straw looks over his bag, he notices that all of the food in it, as well as his Holo Caster, have been stolen-
Dammit.

-Leonard blinks at Murcrow from his position on the ground, but is perfectly willing to dismiss on the grounds that he's probably not seeing clearly right now.-
Leonard: Some bitch in a gas mask and a strange outfit was waiting for me... stole my Mega Ring and left me like this...
Herbert: ...Wait, really? I'm getting a weird sense of deja vu... anyway, that's not important right now. What's important is getting an ambulance here pronto.
-He starts dialling the emergency services with his Pokegear.-

After a while of mulling it over, it clicks in Remy's head where he's heard the name "Constantin" before.
Remy: Oh! Are you... Constantin Perilloux by any chance?
Constantin winces, before answering Remy's question.
Constantin: ...Indeed, that is my name. Am I right in guessing that you are Remy Beaumont-de Callone?
Remy: -Tilting head- How did you know...?
Constantin: The purple hair and cowlick were the dead giveaways, but the subtleties of your high cheekbones and pale eyes from your Grandmother's side also indicate your heritage.
Remy: Hmm...
Amber: Pear-ri-lew? That's a funny last name. Are you a member of a posh family like Rems here?
Remy and Constantin: -At the same time- Was.
The two blink and each other, before Constantin lets out a small laugh.
Constantin: Looks like were were having the same line of thought there, Monsieur Remy.
Remy: I heard you were all decadent idiots and that you in particular squandered the remains of the family fortune on a lie.
Constantin makes small humming sound as he ruffles Remy's hair.
Constantin: Sometimes, people make up things about others without really knowing anything just to make themselves feel more justified in their own actions. If I were a decadent, idiotic jerk would I have saved your friend here?
Remy: ...I guess if you put it like that, you're not so bad after all.
Amber: Not so bad? He's really cool for saving me like that!
Constantin: Anyway, I best be off. I have... plans that need attention. I guess I'll see you two little squirts around then?
Amber: -Hugs Constantin again- Hope to see you around Cons~
Remy: I guess~ Thank you again.
Constantin: -Smiling- It was my pleasure~
And with that, Constantin walks off, with Amber and Remy waving him away.
Cupid: <Hey! He was a pretty nice guy, wasn't he Emile?>
Emile: <Hmm... I don't know mon amie. He was certainly kind to Remy and Amber, but I can't help but to feel as if there is some sort of... facade he's wearing.>
Cupid ruffles up to Emile.
Cupid: <Aww, you worry too much~>
Emile: <I guess...>

Montu starts pulling at Pakhet.
Montu: <C'mon Pakhet! We gotta get goin'!>
Pakhet: <...Alright. It seems that we'll find out very soon what's wrong anyway.>

-Herbert finishes his call and pockets his Pokegear, looking back down at Leonard.-
Herbert: Okay, they'll be here in about ten minutes. Just try not to move, and don't-
-He is interrupted by Murcrow, and blinks.-
Herbert: Uh, okay... out of curiosity, did you happen to get a name?
Leonard: ...Of course not. Why would she give a name? She was quite clearly trying to avoid being identified... she had an Abomasnow, if that helps...

-Herbert blinks again.-
Herbert: ...Wait, you do? Who was it? And why do you never tell me about any of this stuff? One moment...
-He turns back to Leonard.-
Herbert: Uh... my Murkrow says he might know who attacked you, if it helps.
Leonard: ...I'd be a lot more interested in that information after I'm not in immediate danger of bleeding out.

-As Straw enters onto North boulevard, he finds his Holo Caster in a bush, covered in bits of food, dirt, and spit-
Palutena:<Look on the bright side. It's still functional.>
...It needs a good cleaning though.
-He heads into the hotel, wondering what the stray pokemon attack was about-

-Murcrow is about to mention that he's Titan's Murkrow before realizing that this would be a terrible idea-
Murcrow: <Well... have you heard of the Illusion Project? I think she's one of their admins, Shard.>
<She's an Ice Monotyper, wears a gas mask, talks like she's trying to disguise her voice, and I think she can use Obscura.>

-Herbert tilts his head at Murcrow.-
Herbert: ...Who the hell are the Illusion Project?
-The sound of sirens starts to become audible from down on street level.-
Herbert: Nevermind. At least we have a name and a pretty good description. Right now, though, we should clear out before we're labelled as suspects. You don't want to be caught at the scene of the crime, else you'll be collared for it. That happens in pretty much every cop show.
-He dashes out of the room, leaving the medical and legal procedures to take place offscreen.-

"I... See." said Duke, though he then stretches a bit "Talking about all of this reminds me... I was planning of bringing Lyuri somewhere here for a date..." he then gets rather pensive.
