I coulda' sworn we just passed this store...
Allie consulted the map of Port Barley again. She had been walking around with her two augmentative pokemon for over an hour and had still not discovered where the Pokemon Center was. This was pathetic, even Allie could admit that in her mind, but she blamed the fact that the people that ran this place didn't put the Pokemon Center in a clear place. Of course, it was, but she probably just missed it.
Astrid was teasing Valerie; poking her hard and darting out of the way right before the poor Natu turned around. Valerie squeaked and ran around, trying to find her assaulter.
"Valerie," Allie picked her Natu up and put her on her shoulder. Then, she picked up Astrid and put the Sewaddle on the other shoulder. "Calm down, kay?"
Suddenly, a screech cut through the air and a blue and red furry pokemon darted in front of Allie. Before she could register what was in front of her, the pokemon leaped on Allie's head, making loud, screeching noises.
Valerie freaked out again and dashed away from the attacker. Astrid leaped off, glared at it for wasting her time, and fired a String Shot at it.
The pokemon fell off Allie, and she saw it was a tall, thin Weavile. The disgruntled pokemon tried to claw the web off his face and glared at Astrid.
"Hey-Weavile!"
The store owner ran up to the Weavile and helped him get the web off. "Sorry," he apologized. "There's been somethin' stealing from the shops, so I got my cousin to let me borrow his Weavile to use as a guard."
Allie nodded, already trying to get far away from the Weavile, who was still glaring at Allie.
"...So anyway, I have to apologize. Here, have something from my store!"
"What?" Allie shook her head. "Sorry, I really couldn't..."
"I insist!" The shopowner took something from his shelf and gave it to her. Allie looked down and saw it was a shiny Pokeball keychain. "No, I really coul-"
The store owner already shoved the keychain in her hands and waved her off. Shrugging and sighing, Alli put it on her bag and went to go find the Pokemon Center.

After Allie finally tumbled into the Pokemon Center, she had already heard a lot about this thief, and had been already been attacked by another guard pokemon. (Good thing this store owner didn't offer her a tacky souvenir.) She healed her pokemon and walked back out. Valerie started complaining, and Allie sighed.
"Ok, we'll go get something to eat."
Allie spotted a cafe, and ordered some poffins and a sandwich. While the trio was eating, Allie looked through her bag and made sure her stuff was still there.
Astrid got a mischievous look on her face, and snuck up behind Valerie. Shen she was right behind her, Astrid leaped in the air, screaming.
Valerie screamed with her and ran off faster than Allie thought was possible on those tiny legs. Scooping up a still snickering Astrid, Allie ran after her. Valerie finally ran out of steam at the docks. Allie caught up to her and scolded the Natu.
"Valerie, you can't keep doing that. What if you got lost?"
Valerie shrugged and leaped on Allie's shoulder. Seeing that the problem was resolved, Allie walked along the road, looking at the services that the shop owners provided. Allie was even more impressed at a man who claimed he could not only identify pokemon footprints, but could also read your pokemon's bond with the trainer by just studying the print.
"Huh, cool. I would like him to do that to us."
The man was attracting quite a crowd, and Allie got in line. When it was finally her turn, Allie reached into her bag for her money.
Only to find she didn't have her bag.
Allie gasped. She must have left it at the cafe-and what if someone stole it?
Allie sprinted back to the cafe. She sat at table five; and her bag wasn't there. She looked at all the tables, and asked the waiter, but all he could say was that he didn't see it and assumed Allie took it with her. In panic, Allie ran around the entire block, trying to find it. After a long time, she faced her pokemon.
"What am I going to do?!"
