_______________________________
         Started from Twinleaf Town.
         Got Through Lake Verity
         Used a PC Box.
         Potion was obtained.
         Arrived in Jubilife City.
        Caught GOLDUCK (EVENING).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . .

Route 202

Dawn: "Professor Rowan's secret mission?! And the two of you together completed most of "This" Pokédex as well?! But I thought you had to catch the Pokémon for the information to register?" Dawn peered studying your every muscle. Sweat tear from your forehead as your eyes avoid all contact with Dawn's darning stare.

Y/N: "I would like if you don't go around passing this information around everyone's ears please. This Pokédex is a pretty special one of course." Your wary hands reach for the red device within Dawn's palm as if she was a ticking time bomb.

Dawn: "But if you're such a special guy that Professor Rowan entrust his life's work to, why haven't I ever seen you with Professor Rowan? Why would Professor Rowan give you a Pokémon when you're such an experience veteran? Wouldn't it be easy for you to catch your own Pokémon yourself? And you seemly acted as if you were such a newbie?!"

Y/N's Thoughts: "What am I kidding this isn't working... how irritating."

Action Replay: "The effective option in this scenario is to dispose of any witness or suspicion. With your current level of Pokémon, you have abundant quality of options to defeat and destroy the target. The efficient option however is to eliminate the target at route 219. With your GOLDUCK psychic abilities, you can orchestrate a simple and swift accident."

Y/N's Thoughts: "Unfortunately... It seems I have no choice." Your shallow eyes showed no signs of remorse as you glimpse at your oblivious Golduck. "However... That option would be boring." Your eyes reverts light once more, you couldn't help but smile over the thrill of being corner. You took Golduck's capsule and zap it with the capsule's blue beam, storing it inside.

Y/N: "Okay fine let me be little more reasonable, here's the thing. The Pokédex barley matter for the scheme of things, if it makes you feel better, your Pokédex value's the same amount of relevancy as mine. Go ahead take a look at yours, peep at the starling Pokémon Starly."

Dawn: "You're not trying to pull a fast one on me are you?"

Y/N: "Seriously give it a go! The Pokédex is in your hands after all." Dawn's eyes dart towards your Pokédex and back at you, until she given in with a sigh. She flip open her Pokédex, and beamed shook at the data."

Dawn: "The data?! They really are different!!"

Because they are weak individually, they form groups. However, they bicker if the group grows too big.

Dawn: "Not too much of a difference to believe in your story... But definitely a difference! ... Wait a minute."

"My research isn't the obsession of completing the Pokédex, My particularly studies does reflect in those boys."

Dawn's Thoughts: "Is that what the Professor meant?" Dawn closed the two Pokédex and took a deep breath. Dawn pouts as she crossed her arms and kick a small patch of grass. "Whether I want to believe him or not, this Pokédex clearly shows proof, I mean I literally watched the Professor give him this Pokédex, and he has been acting strange lately. Then again he caught a freaking Golduck!"  Dawn clench her fist and lower her head.

You observed Dawn's cute flustered sigh, until she given up, approaching you to hand your Pokédex back.

Dawn: "You win." The flustering blushing Dawn mumbled, avoiding eye contact with you.

Y/N: "Oh great! Then the loser has to do whatever the winning request at the moment right?!" You teased as you strolled passed Dawn.

Dawn: "Don't be such a bragging jerk! There were no such terms." Dawn shouts and rush in front of you, wavering her pointing index upon your chest.

Y/N: "Than a superiorly acknowledgment." You sarcastically request, poking her chest back with a grin. Dawn flustered red cheeks sprout out like an tomato until she sighed, quitting the battle she started.

Dawn: "Fine..." Dawn shrugs breaking space from you. Dawn pose her hands on her hips with a nod. "You're pretty slick hot shot, but don't think for a second you have it all figured out. You're good at catching Pokémon, but there's more to being a researcher than just filling the Pokédex, In Jubilife City, there's the Trainers' School, which... Well, you know." You scooped past Dawn making your way towards city ahead. "Hey! Wait up!"

Jubilife City

Making way into the modernized city, you survey your surroundings, you squeeze by many people who shoot past to their destinations. You pondering where to even start yourself.

Y/N's Thoughts: "Ah yes Jubilife City; "The City of Joy" Despite always being crowded It was always impressive given me a reason to return. Only this time it was inevitable."

Action Replay: "It should be highly anticipated expected that you will return to this destination, as The Pokétch Company, the developer and manufacturer of the Pokétch, Jubilife TV, Sinnoh's TV network, The Global Trade Station, The Global Terminal, The Global Wonder Station and the trainer's school are all located within this destination."

Y/N's Thoughts: "Anything else?" You sarcastically remark.

Dawn: "... So ... What do you think of the idea of us being traveling partners?" Dawn anxiously springs an idea thought out loud. I still a little bewildered to why the professor assigned such an extraordinary task. I can admit you're pretty good, but it does seem a bit overwhelming to be taking on such a duty. Look I might have been ahead of myself but we should share our experiences and complete both our objectives together."

Action Replay: "Actually there is! Mhmm, but don't worry about it." The eternal voice's sarcasm made you sigh with a shrug.

Y/N's Thoughts: "Oh fine you win. I guess I should start by obtaining my Pokétch."

Dawn: "So Y/N! Seemed like a good idea huh? Of course if you assist... I'm sure you'll be..." Apparently realizing Dawn was still holding you hostage within a conversation, you immediately clear your thoughts.

Y/N: "Huh?! Oh yeah... yeah... sure!"

Dawn: "Really! Well cool it's settled then!" Dawn blushes graciously fidgeting her fingers together.

Y/N's Thoughts: "She's still here? Eh ... Never mind I shouldn't worry about it. I'm pretty sure she's probably trying to tell me something else irrelevant."

Dawn: "Come on! Don't be shy now. Follow me!" Dawn gesture as she point at each direction. Right when you were gonna sigh and shrug from the feeling of being trapped in some sort of tutorial an odd man standing behind a lamp pose seemly defeating whatever attempts he had at blending in with the environment.

You and Dawn couldn't help but peer at the strange oblivious brown trench coat man, that glance suspiciously at each direction.

Y/N & Dawn: "That man... What is he doing?"

Dawn: "Umm... Hey? Everything's okay?!" Dawn shouts alarming the mysterious odd individual.

Mysterious Man: "WHAAAT?!" Dawn nods at the absurdity of the man pointing to himself as a reply before stepping forward to you and Dawn. With a moment of silence of staring the suspicious man broke the silence. "... How did you know?"

Dawn: "How could we not notice your presence?!"

Mysterious Man: "Not that... How did you unmask me as a member of the international Police?!"

Dawn bluntly stare at the policeman pale peering with a shrug.

Dawn: "Um... Yeah we didn't... Anyways we were only making conversation...

Mysterious Man ➙ Shady Man: "... Heh. You claim you were only making conversation. No! No! No! No! No! No!! I know better not to simply believe that! You recognized right away that I was someone extraordinary!"

Dawn: "I wonder how?!" Dawn sarcastically shouted.

Shady Man: "How? Simple! You spoke to me, is it not? Your power of observation is fearsome! Quite admirable, you are!"

Dawn: "Oh... I suppose... Well me and Y/N have to..."

Y/N: "I think the man is right."

Dawn: "You too?!"

Y/N's Thoughts: "Seriously?! Who the hell is this guy?!! I never seen this guy in any of my lives?!! Action I need an identification."

Action Replay: "That request is impracticable... due to Kouki never coming across with this particular individual through their travels."

Y/N's Thoughts: "You too action?! This guy is truly dangerous!! I must discover who this man's identity... But I doubt it'll be easy!"

Shady Man: "Sense my cover has been blown, let me introduce myself. I am a globe-trotting elite of the International Police. My name... Ah, no." The coated man paused and ponders, scratching his head. "I shall inform you only of my code name! My code name is Looker. It is what they all call me."

Y/N's Thoughts: "This guy is an absolute genius!! He even carefully sealed his identity before I had the opportunity! Such a complex strategy!! Looker is it?! Cunning, efficient, intelligent individual!"

Dawn: "You're some international spy or something and you almost gave your identity away? ..."

The international police twirl boastfully as he pose and flex with a smirk to show off his handsome face. Unaware that he was attracting bystanders, Dawn bluntly stare.

Looker: "Incidentally, is the saying, "Don't be a thief!" familiar to you?"

                                                         ┏━━━━━━━┓
              YES
➤ NO
┗━━━━━━━┛

Looker flopped onto the ground but immediately bounced back just as fast as his stumble. While you stare at the man as some legend would wouldn't back down without a proper battle, Dawn bluntly stare at him as if he was some scamming car's dealer.

Looker: "No? Whaaa No? No! You claim to not know it? How could that be?"

Dawn: "Let me guess you're supposedly have some line of connections to that statement? Was I supposed to hear that from some podcast of yours?"

Looker: "Hmm... Perhaps your mama has said it, but you have forgotten it, like usual?"

Dawn: "So you're just gonna ignore my question?!"

Looker: "Now listen, my friends. It is wrong to take what belongs to others. Unfortunately, there are apparently those who do not heed those words." The handsome detective close in and gesture his hand and begin whisper to the two of your ears. "Pss... In Sinnoh, in fact, there are criminals stealing the people of others. I have, therefore, been on the lookout for characters arousing my suspicion."

While Dawn made a reaction that build anxiety, your reaction wasn't exact. However you smirk.

Y/N's Thoughts: "Impressive he's already aware of their existence."

Action Replay: "It occurred that this awareness is due to the duties of his claim career."

Dawn: "SERIOUSLY?!! I mean... seriously?"

Looker: "Shh!!" With a finger to Looker's own lips, Dawn quietly nodded.

Dawn's thought's: "I see... so in the end he's just looking out for incident and on guard duty. I guess nothing's wrong with that, despite there being more efficient methods. Maybe I judge a bit too soon."

Looker: "Now... Chm..." Looker paralinguistic cough, then grab a hold of his note book with a pen. "Now... Incidentally, you are trainers, yes? ... If you so happen to come across suspicious individuals, you have the given right to defend yourself whatever means necessary. As well if you do happen to have the courage and generosity in stepping up when someone's in trouble, I'm humbly giving you permission to act."

Dawn: "Blah! I should have known! Now he's just carelessly sharing his duties!! I bet that's convenient!"

Looker: "What?! Me? I would never throw my responsibilities and duties upon children! I'm just keeping innocents aware... Here's proof, Incidentally, you are Trainers, yes? Perhaps you can make use of this?"

Y/N: "Wow thanks!"

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
       Y/N Received VS. Recorder! ▼
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Action Replay: "This item is a KEY ITEM."

Y/N's Thoughts: "What?! Now he's sharing with me KEY Items? I thought you would inform me Action?"

Action Replay: "Oddly, everything from this particular individual's actions, I am unable to comprehend."

Y/N's Thoughts: "What about this key item?"

Action Replay: "I am unable to identify this Key item due to my previous master Pokémon trainer Kouki never receiving this item during their own journey."

Y/N's Thoughts: "Interesting so I... I mean Kouki never met this particular person... Perhaps I can make something of a project of this guy?"

Looker study the strange survey eyes of yours that deeply observed the gift emotionlessly as if you were some spoil rotten wealthy child you receives gifts often, it also made the detective regret sharing such a popular device.

Looker: "Go on take care of it, you can't make good use of that thing just by staring at it."

Y/N: "THANK YOU MUCH!!"

Dawn: "Ehh?!"

Looker: "Ha..."

*Y/N put the Vs. Recorder in the ⚷ KEY ITEMS Pocket.*

Y/N: "Oh... What does this thing do exactly?" Your question made Looker flop upon the ground once more but with Dawn included.

Dawn: "Gee you thank him like you was a huge fan of the gear."

Y/N: "I did?" Dawn could only facepalm at your dumbfounded expression.

Looker continually suspiciously glance at his surroundings as if he was trying to lose someone trailing him.

Looker: "That Vs. Recorder, that record matches, and all you trainers all connected. At least that's what I heard from others... I heard it is quite popular now. You probably pick up that myself, I do not do Pokémon battling. It would be in better hands with you. Oh I do have a request actually... If you were to see me again, I ask that you do not talk to me, for I am on duty."

Looker pause at the silent facial response, he scratch his head and blush.

Looker: "... Actually, yes, yes, you may speak to me. You must in fact... Not because I am lonely, no, no! You must inform me of bad guys! You must inform me of any happenings!" The detective would cautiously survey his surroundings, before dramatically shifting around every corner as if he was in some spy film. While you stood there impressed but bewildered, Dawn peer at the man's stunts as if he was an open book.

Dawn: "... Working for the international police must be hard." Despite sounding sarcastic, Dawn really did believe in her own statement. Dawn reminding her self with a snap, she points to a school to the far left. "Oh Y/N, over here is the trainer's school. I saw your friend enter earlier. The real question is would he still be there... Y/N"

Y/N: "... Hmm... Huh? Oh yeah!"

Dawn's Thoughts: "Now that I think about it, was he even paying attention even before the detective left?"

Y/N: "Hey! Dawn you think you can do me a favor? Could you hand this town map to Barry!" You open the Parcel from your bag as if the package had your name on it. Dawn eyes sprout out at Barry's name.

Dawn: "Hey?!! You shouldn't open something that doesn't belong to... You?" Dawn watch you take a one of the two town maps that was inside the package. It was as if the boy ironically knew what was inside.

Y/N: "Mind as well after all there's two, who knows I might find some use for it... I guess."

Y/N's thoughts: "However when I obtained my pokétch, with the map features in the end it doesn't really matter."

Action Replay: "Wouldn't it be wise to obtain the town maps in the original path?"

Y/N's thoughts: "I dunno you tell me action? Should I follow the exact path as an empty loser?"

Action Replay: "Point taken..."

Y/N: "Hey! Let's not share too many insults about myself!"

Dawn: "What?!"

Y/N: "Huh?! You're still here?! Go on! Barry needs it more than me."

Dawn: "Geez! You can ask more nicely!! Anyways try not to be so bored to a point you talk to yourself, I'll keep you company when I get back."

Y/N: "That was mean... What was that for?"

Dawn: "Owwww!!! I'll be back no need worry!!" Dawn storm off to the school as you stare dumbfounded.

Y/N's Thoughts: "Fascinating... I can even shift her path differently too." You smile maliciously, I wonder what I can do to Barry?"

From after the detective Looker watches you from afar pondering.

Looker: "Just as I thought, he is quite odd...Yikes!" Looker duck and hid around the corner when you drift your sight at his direction. However it didn't seem as if you noticed anything. "And sharp too."
