@Sary Alright.

Andy wiped his mouth, and coughed a bit, before deciding to still walk about in the scene of the kidnapping, just to inspect it.

He notices Tilly. Oh god. It's Jani's creepy sister... wait, it's Jani's creepy sister!

He approaches her. Excuse me, ma'am?

Well, it's not unreasonable that he would be back by now. (I say to Marlon.) Especially if he turned into a very fast Pokémon when he went to look for his money purse.

Should we go look for him? (Marsha asks.)

Yeah, I think looking for him would be a safe bet.

*noticing Marlon's angle, Jani gets the message* ...well, if you need a digger, y'know... *and with a sigh, she looks back at the sparrers*


*Lilly, meanwhile, is pretty receptive to Andy* Hey! You're Jani's friend from last night, right? *even she can tell Andy's out of sorts, so she asks* Something wrong?

Well, let's go. (Delilah says, getting up.) I certainly hope nothing's happened to him.

(We get up to start to leave, but almost as soon as we do, I notice a very shocked and nervous Krokorok walking in our direction (not directly toward us, just in our direction), and I also notice what she is (still) carrying.)

Hey... (I remark.) Is that Krokorok carrying Benji's money purse?

Hello miss, why do you have our friend's money purse?

Andy responded. Yeah, I'm fine. You can dig, right? Of course you can. I need you to help me dig up in the North End of town. Also, at some point we need to report the kidnapping of a Lanturn. That can wait a bit though.

Wait, a Lanturn got kidnapped?! *Lilly responds, surprised* I'll have to tell the chief! But...they're meeting up with mom in an hour anyway...

*realizing the gravity of the situation, Lilly adds* I can dig, at least for a little while. Everyone's going to be at that meeting, so if I can't find anything, I'll have to bail...

Did ya steal it from my brother? (Marsha asks, sounding a little angry.)

(The Krokorok jumps at the sight of Marlon and Marsha approaching her.) N-No...oh, please don't yell at me, I-I'm Dinah...and I can't take people yelling at me right now...I just watched someone get kidnapped like I've been hearing about going on around here...

Kidnapped?! (Delilah cries.)

Oh no, not again... (I say.)

(Marsha doesn't say a word; instead her jaw drops and she grabs Marlon's hand tightly.)

Did you see who did it?

Want happened...? (I ask the Krokorok.) What Pokémon was the person who got kidnapped?

He was a Lanturn... (says Dinah.) He was riding in a metal cart, he asked me to find this money purse, and then...

(She buries her face in her claws, nearly knocking the small glasses she is wearing off her face.) Then an Onix came out of the ground and snatched him...I certainly hope he's okay and the Onix didn't grab him intending to eat him...

But Benji isn't a... (Then I realize...) Yeah, he was a Lanturn...he turned into one...

(Marsha grabs her head-fins and drops down onto the ground.) No no no no NO! Not again...! That's the second time over these past two weeks someone's put him up somewhere! WHY DOES ALWAYS HAPPEN?!

(I drop to the ground as well, lightly rubbing her head fins and back to soothe her:)

Listen, Marsh, we will find him...if whoever has him doesn't give him up easily then we'll team up and battle couple them into giving Benji up. What do you say?

(I lightly kiss her cheek while still rubbing her back and head fins.)

(Marsha calms down a little after Marlon reassures her, though she is still visibly upset as she stands back up.)

Can't let it drive me crazy...even though I'm worried sick about him... (Marsha quietly mutters to herself.)

He...turned into a Lanturn? (Dinah repeats.) Is he a Ditto or something?

Yes, he is. (Delilah says.) And the fact that this much time has passed and he hasn't simply taken a different form, escaped and come back to us worries me...

Oh dear...I hope he wasn't actually eaten... (Dinah says. She shudders.)

I'm sure he wasn't... (I say.) These kidnappers don't sound that barbaric from what I've heard about them...but yeah...the fact that he hasn't come back already has me concerned. Do you think he might be near Finley and Mila, Marlon? (I ask.)

Just, come with me.

*Lilly follows Andy along briskly, until supposedly we get to the site. This clearly isn't where the kidnapping happened, as there is no sign of the Onix's disturbance of dirt. This prompts Lilly to ask* Uh...what are we looking for? I don't see anything out of the ordinary here...just the same exit/entrance ramp that's always here...

(Marsha takes Marlon's hand and leans against him, still looking very worried.)

Man, I am comin' unglued... (Marsha says.) At least Manaphy was easy ta reason with, I don't think these guys are gonna give up him and everyone else so easily...but I know the best thing I need ta do is keep calm...keep calm...keep calm...

What do we need to do now? (I ask no one in particular.)

(I say to Goobert after saying that:)

We've really gotta get to the City Hall as soon as we can.

Andy shrugged. Look, this place has an abnormally low amount of electricity. I believe the reason could be that someone's intentionally blocking it, to hide a surplus of electricity. It's not proven, but it's possible.

(Delilah and I stand up.) Well, let's head to the City Hall, then. It's still a bit early, but I'm sure we can do something to kill time while we wait...

I think they said something about a clock around here somewhere....

Looks to be half past eight.

So, thirty minutes then? (I say.) That's not too long of a wait. I mean, some of our time will be taken up walking to it, even.

(I notice Dinah still following us.) What's up?

I just figured that I should follow you since I saw his kidnapping happen and you all seem to know a lot about what's going on... (she says.) Besides, I still have your friend's money purse...
