“Darius Dovakin, the rising trainer of dragons, has finally exited the woods of Furoh to take on the fields of Loch Ranch. A mysterious voice (yours truly) has taken residence in his mind, demanding that he solves a riddle: go to the darkest corner behind a lock that needs no key. Not even the wood fence surrounding the ranch would stop the dragon trainer from finding this fiend. One could only imagine the strong words he had in store for this mysterious telepath, er, I mean me.”

“Hey, I’m the only one who can hear you! You don’t have to keep repeating why I’m here over and over again! I get it!”

“Darius gazed in frustration over the foothills of Mt. Carello that made up the ranch. Green fields stretched for miles. A herd of stantler galloped over these hills, playing about in the morning sun. A flock of tailow flew overhead, searching for the ranchers that would spread out the feed. Amon all the scenery, Darius had an epiphany.”

“Wait…if you’re describing all this stuff and it’s happening now, that means you’re here! Show yourself!”

“Darius turned all around to find any pokemon that were watching him. What he found caused him to jump back. The blank pink eyes of an espurr looked right up to him. Darius had never encountered such a pokemon; it looked like something out of a horror movie. Clearly, he was scared.”

“I’m not scared! It caught me offguard, whatever it is.”

“Scared out of his mind.”

“SHUT UP!”

“Mighty Dovakin cowers to a little kitty cat. Perhaps he will cry.”

“ARRR THIS IS YOU!”

“Esp!”

“Darius drew his sword and pointed it to the espurr, convinced that the voice in his head was coming from the pokemon. Naturally, the espurr turned tail and fled, not wanting to find out what Darius was going to do with his sword. The dragon trainer gave chase, determined to finally end this madness…”

“Get out of my head, you scary- I mean, scaredy cat!”

Nessie was running across the field and up the steps of the Loch residence. She found her grandpa reading the paper, while her grandma was cooking a big breakfast for the staff. The girl entered the dining room, taking a moment to catch her breath.

“Gramps! Granny! There’s a man chasing our pokemon!”

“Ah, another rambunctious trainer trying to prove his might,” John Loch replied, barely looking up from the paper. “Grab your pokemon and sort him out. Get Molly to back you up.”

“But this guy has a sword and he keeps yelling at…nothing.”

John put down his paper; this certainly didn’t happen every day. He rubbed his mustache to ponder the situation.

“Should I call the police?” Nessie asked.

“That shouldn’t be necessary right now. Besides, Scott’s way closer. His number should be on my desk. See if he’s around.”

“And ask how he likes his eggs,” Virginia added.

"...... huh?"

"...... what?"

The two Rangers looked at each other, entirely confused.

"He said something about cookies. Does he have cookies? I want a cookie," Amber wondered.

"No, I think he thought we had cookies."

"Do you?"

"Of course not. You would have already sensed them and bitten me until I gave them to you, just like the previous three times I've tried hiding cookeis from you," Scott muttered.

"What was that?"

"Squawk squawk squawk squawk squawk."

"...... what?"

"Nothing. Let's just deal with this guy already. He clearly isn't in his right mind. And why does his Charmander keep waving at us? Is it just really friendly or is there something wrong with it too?"

"Ruby might have confused it."

"That makes sense...... I guess."

They and their Pokemon looked off in the direction their foe had gone. "Well, since he's still technically trespassing, I guess we can't just leave him be. I'd love it if he ran across some elite trainer's dragon though. That would be fun to watch," Amber said.

Thinking back to what had happened on Mt. Arasam a few weeks ago with the Mega Absol, Scott muttered, "No, it wouldn't be very fun to watch......" His shoulder instantly started hurting again, even though the injuries received that day had since healed.

"Hmm? Did you say something?"

"Yeah, I said you and Nikila should start tracking that guy already. I need to heal Ruby."

He returned Scarlet to her Pokeball, and then returned Ebony to his Pokeball as well- the small male Eevee had been hiding in a nearby bush, waiting for a chance to pickpocket the insane Trainer of whatever he might be able to use against Scott and Amber using Covet (other than the broadsword, since he couldn't lift it). He then picked up Ruby and rummaged through his bag for some Oran berries as Amber bent down to talk to her Electrike.

"I need you to track him for us. He shouldn't be very far ahead of us, so it shouldn't be hard."

The average-sized female Electrike nodded and set off on her way with her nose to the ground as her Trainer followed. Scott followed several paces behind, still holding Ruby.

"Looks like we might have to immobilize him so he doesn't keep wandering off. "
