"Not until you answer the question, he has to have said or done something" the cop said, tapping his fingers on the table.

"He said I wasn't allowed to attack the pokemon, but the thing is, they started it. I was just defending myself." Mio said, shrugging. "But that man didn't understand, and he wrongly accused me, so I attacked him."

"Tonni?!" Ashley shouted. "Dusty! Dig under and pull him out! Hurry!" The Trapinch seemed hesitant, but obeyed anyway.

"The thing is, the Pokemon there are all wild, and the game is to try to capture them without your Pokemon, the point is you aren't supposed to battle the Pokemon in that area" the officer explained to her. "So, why did you think it was okay to attack the man, he was just letting you off with a warning" the cop asked her.

"Cause he blamed me for attacking them. It was self defense." Mio said pointedly.

Tonni popped out of the snow a few seconds later, Dusty with him "sorry, I didn't realize how deep the snow is" Tonni apologized. He sent out his Tropius, giving it a Yache berry. "That should help" with the berry, the Tropius could easily carry the two kids through the snow. Tonni climbed onto its back, holding a hand out for Ashley. "Come on, Troppi is tall enough to carry us" Tonni told her.

"He wasn't blaming you, he was reminding you of the rules, when a Pokemon attacks, you throw mud or bait" he told her.

Ashley climbed on, holding Dusty close.

The tropius brought them to the top of acuity lakefront, Tonni returned Troppi to his ball. "I just realized, maybe it would be better to wait, there's 5 Pokemon between the two of us, and over 300 in there, not to mention probably stronger" Tonni said "plus, if they catch us, they'll lock us up!" Tonni said, starting to panic.

"You're forgetting something," Ashley said. "Me and Dusty don't like to lose," she added with a mischievous smile. "Dusty can dig us under. All we need to do is figure out where they're keeping Quaggy,"
