Zoey had been enjoying the leisurely walk from Gochugaru Town to Cilantro City. It was mostly a lot of fields with sparse trees scattered about. Earlier today, she had seen a group of Vivillon fluttering overhead and a family of Rattata playing. The sun was hiding behind a few wispy clouds, making it not too bright but still warm. Dratini was slithering along the path beside her as they walked. As they crested the hill, she could see Cilantro City just ahead. She paused to admire the view of the city before looking down at her Pokemon, "Alright! Almost there now! Time to pick up the pace!" She smiled at Dratini who trilled out happily in reply. She set the pace at almost a jog as they headed closer still.

When they were nearing the first few buildings of the city, Zoey noticed the officer Jenny posting something to a tree nearby. She slowed before coming to stop. Curiosity getting the better of her, she walked closer to see what she was hanging up. Her eyes instantly took in the words MISSING, as they were stamped in big bold letters along the top. She scanned further down, spotting a Chikorita sketch. She gasped loudly, startling Officer Jenny in the process. Officer Jenny dropped a couple of the other posters she was holding. "I'm so sorry, I did not mean to startle you." Zoey leaned down to pick up the dropped posters, noticing that one was a Buneary, one a Roselia, and another a Honedge. "What's going on? Why are all of these Pokemon missing."

Officer Jenny took the offered posters from Zoey, "Oh, no worries. I shouldn't have been so focused that I did not hear you approaching. Several Pokemon have gone missing over the past couple weeks. I would blame Team Rocket except for the L card we keep finding. There have also been strange reports of trainers seeing some odd Pokemon around the city. I haven't seen anything myself, but my team and I will be patrolling the edges of the town later tonight."

Zoey nodded her head. This was a very puzzling situation. Who could be taking the Pokemon if not Team Rocket? And what were these strange Pokemon that were being seen? Zoey took a determined pose, "I'm sure you will catch whoever is taking them! Good luck with it!" She waved to the officer as she headed back towards the city. She would keep her eyes open for anything strange going on.

Jason Liger

"I ordered them two weeks ago!" The man said frustrated to the pokemart clerk "How am i supposed to run an organic center if you dont have the revive herb i need!"

"Usually you order tw..wenty five w..which is fine and w..we can get it in t..two weeks bu b..bu but-" the stuttering man was interupted

"Look I know I ordered ten times the usual amount but the people who are finding their pokemon are bringing them to me to make sure there is nothing wrong and word of my business has traveled throughout the region and people want to see what an organic pokecenter can do they think me to be a wack-o who cant heal simple ruffled pidove feathers! Which as you can imagine is quite bothersome but when serious cases come in i need that revive herb so please call me when you get the rest of my shipment i will take the usual twenty five for now" Jason said spinning on his heels and walking over and grabbing a couple dozen pokeballs. "These as well David" he said placing them on the counter. Which the man nodded and rung up the pokeballs and twenty-five revive herbs thrn told him the total which Jason promptly payed then heard the door bell ring as someone was walking into the pokemart jason grabbed his things apologized to David for being impatent and then thanked him and would walk past amy as she entered he smiled at her as one does when they pass a stranger. He then walked to the jenny who was hanging posters "Hey there Jenny any new leads on all these missing pokemon?" He asked mostly knowing the answer before she answered no. "That is a shame may you get your aid somehow"he said before rubbing her shoulder and starting towards his home and shop.

"Hmmm, where to go first?" Zoey wondered aloud. Her Dratini easily keeping up with her slow pace. She was taking her time, creating wish lists of things in her mind as she passed all the beautiful things in the shop windows. She knew she didn't need to go inside and spend her hard earned money, but the window shopping was always free. She noticed a rather well dressed man pass by her but thought nothing of it. She had encountered many types of people along her journey.

Zoey stopped at a nearby bench to rest, pulling her backpack onto her lap. She unzipped it, then looked through it slowly, taking stock of her inventory. "Hmmm, maybe we should head to the PokeMart first. We are getting low on Potions." Dratini trilled happily beside her, seeming to agree with her decision. She reached out to stroke the smooth skin of Draitini's head for a few minutes first. "Alright!" she exclaimed, standing up again. When she began walking, she set off towards the PokeMart.

It wasn't very far of a walk. She could see the building just ahead. A few steps later and she was stepping into the PokeMart. Her eyes instantly caught sight of the girl at the counter. She was in the process of paying for her goods. "Amy?" Zoey asked, her voice questioning but excitedly hopeful that it was her friend.

Bailey Flowe

Lily trilled from her arms as Bailey and Zale trekked along towards Cilantro City. It was such a beautiful day, it was only expected it would get ruined as she saw a poster hanging from a tree just outside the city. "Strange Pokemon huh? How exciting! I wonder what they're like." She met the gaze of Sale who was looking up at her with a grumpy face. With a laugh she bent down and scratched his neck where he liked it. "Oh you're fine Zale, every Pokemon is special, and we're going to find out how each one is unique and special and show it to the world. Like you. You like soaking in the sun and helping others instead of fighting and that's why we're such good friends. Lily here would rather be cuddled than floating in a lake getting constant water. " She nuzzled Lily's lilypad on her head. " Silly girl." She set her down and pulled out a water bottle and poured some on top of the Lotad.

Lily splashed around and trilled in it happily for a little while. Once satisfied, Bailey picked her back up and they moved onward into the city. Zale kept close to her legs, not wanting to move into the city. "Want to go back into your pokeball for now?"

"Saur." Zale confirmed.

One handed she tapped his pokeball on her waist and than adjusted Lily again as Zale disappeared in a flash of light back into his ball. "Okay, let's find the pokemart to restock on supplies and than find out what's going on with that poster. I'm sure officer Jenny will know what's going on."
