Seventeenth Move

[Action, Celadon City]

[Roy walks out of the gym triumphantly, a Rainbow Badge in his hand. He turns around and waves to the women who gathered outside the front door, all of them calling "good-bye, Roy" and "Come back soon!"

However, this means he isn't watching where he's going, and so something bounces off his leg. He turns around and looks...

...and sees an Eevee. A familiar looking one, at that.]

Hey...Elsie?

[At the sound of her name, the Eevee runs up and begans rubbing up against Roy's legs, looking utterly distraught.]

...no...

[Roy was at a loss for words...and for just about anything else. He sands there, frozen, for a while.]

To those who knew Brigadier General Maes Hughes: he has disappeared. I have his Eevee and his Alakazam. If you received any of his Pokémon, let me know so we can account for them.

Then, do you know whether or not he used a Gyarados and if it has any identifying markings?

The only time I saw that Gyarados used, its trainer was using a mask Though their voices did sound alike, slightly.

[Paying attention had been slightly problematic at the time.]

Then it doesn't sound like there's much in the way of evidence to go on. So why did you arrive at the conclusion that it was his?

I asked Joy if she could try and trace its origins. She was not completely certain, but that's as close as she could get. I could always ask one of my Psychic-types to ask it, if you need a more definitive answer.

I'd appreciate it. I want to account for all of his team members.

[paladinlost]

Of course. Please wait a moment.

[And by 'a moment' he apparently means twenty minutes.]

...Its trainer had dark hair and glasses, at least. My Lunatone has some trouble interpreting human names and could not communicate that particular information directly.

Then I daresay that it's likely him, after all. Take good care of it -- as far as I'm concerned, Hughes's men are my men, too.

Of course. I have experience with high-levelled Gyarados; it'll be extremely well-treated, I assure you. ...But do you happen to know if it has an unofficial name?

[Text]

[king_of_flames]

Afraid not. He never showed it to me.

I see. It'll stay 'Gyarados' for now, then.
