“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.

"Eh? It's over already? It didn't take me all [i]that[i] long to capture Moss...... did it?"

He wondered for a moment if he should go inside the cave to make sure Darius hadn't gone on a murderous rampage and killed the telepath, but all the bats were beginning to return so he decided against it.

"Well, I guess that solves one problem. Now it's time to get back to the previous problem...... that is, you were attacking everything that even remotely sounded like a telepath. Not only that, but you attacked my Vulpix, and she isn't even the least bit psychic." Scott folded up his arms and tilted his head to one side.

"Protocol says I should arrest you and change you with a couple counts of assault and a couple counts of assault with a deadly weapon...... but then, I could probably charge whoever the telepath was with something too considering this was all its fault. I really hope you didn't strangle it or use some kind of hidden knife or anything to kill it."

He paused for a moment to consider a new idea, and then said, "But if I try to arrest you, I know you'll either run or fight back, and I don't have any kind of magical restricting moves like Amber and Nikila do...... so I suppose I'll just have to fine you instead. I believe each count of assault has up to a $750 fine and each count of assault with a weapon is $1000...... and you attacked both me and Amber and that Girafarig with your Charmeleon, so that's three counts of assault, and you attacked Ruby and...... something else with both your Charmeleon and your sword, so that's another two counts using a weapon...... so you're looking at up to $4250 in fines. Although, since you seem to like cookies so much, I suppose if you bought four thousand cookies I'd let you go. Hey, are you even listening to me?!?!"
