The gang sat in Pipian's hostpital
room, huddled together talking,
"Well since everything has been said and done concerning
Mewtwo what are
we going to do now?" John asked.
"Good question," Tiki said.
"Well since ive been siting in a hospital bed
for awhile I was
thinking of something we could do, then I thought of
something," Pipian
started to say. "Ive always wanted to be a detective,
you know solve
crimes, and stuff. So I was thinking how about we become a
group of
Pokemon Detectives. What do you guys think?" Pipian
asked.
"I.... like it." Tiki said.
"Me too," Jamie said.
"Ditto," Score chimed in.
"Cool idea Pip," Jophn said.
"Then its settled, but we need a name."
TIki said.
"How about, until we think of something better,
The PODA. the POkemon
Detective Agency. How about that?" Jamie asked.
Once again evreyone agreed. "Well then
the first thing we need is a
place of business, and since we're here we might as well set up
our
office in Ceruleun." John said.
"But with what Im broke," Tiki said.
"Once again Ditto," Score said.
"Well I have a large Laramie Banl Account that
I could use for a
building, rental."
"Good, next we need to advertise," The
group looks to Pipian and
Jamie.
"I got a little bit of money," Pipian
said.
"Jamie?" Score asked.
"Oh dear... I have a large bank acount that I
was saving to buy a
house some day, but I suppose I could use it, we can always live
at our
place of business."
"Good deal, well ill go looking for a building
to rent then Ill go
and phone the top cities papers, and take out an add."
Tiki said.
"Im coming too." Jamie said, "Its my
money, I want a say in how its
spent."
"Fine with me, you guys chill here, unless you
want to come too
John?" Tiki asked.
"Thats ok, here ill give you the acocunt number
and ill call the
bank and tell them your on your way." John said,
handing Tiki a slip of
paper with a number on it.
"Cool lets go Jamie." Tiki said.
They walked off for a fun filled day of building
shopping. They went
to the bank and emptied Johns account, then they got a paper and
found a
few places for rent. After looking at four buildings they
found one
they liked, with five possible bedrooms, other rooms that there
pokmemon
could go into. A large lobby type place and plenty of
storage. They
got papers drawn up and signed and payed the first 2 months
of rent.
They decided to keep some of Johns money for furniture and other
neccesaties.. they hoped business would pick up before two months
expired.
Next they went to the newspaper, and ordered an add
for every notable
city or town in the country (all places from game, but not from
show).
Bye now it was dinner time, "Im starving," Jamie said.
"Me too lets get some carry out." Tiki
suggested.
"Okay chinese food." Jamie replied.
They found a place with carry out and got some for
everyone. They
walked back to the hospital with food and good news, tommorow it
was
time to buy furniture and move into their new home.

Score sat in an uncomfortable hospital chair
fumbling with some
chop sticks. He almost had a piece of ginger beef to his mouth
when his
index finger slipped and the ginger beef went flying right into
Jamie's
eye. "Ow!" yelled Jamie, "Thanks a lot!"
"Uh, can I have my ginger beef back?" asked Score.
"I'll give you some ginger beef!" threatened Jamie,
wielding a
chopstick and stomping toward Score.
Tiki stopped her and she sat back down, wiping teriaky sauce
from her eye. "So," said Score, "what are you each
going to put in your
rooms in our headquaters?"
"Whoooaaa," said Pipian, "Headquarters. It even
sounds
important."
"I call the room with the best view!" shouted Score.
"You can't call the room with the best view!" said
Tiki, "You
must be within seeing distance of the room, and you must specify
the
room, not what you think of it."
"Huh?" said Score, confused, "What are you talking
about?"
"It's the rules of dibs," explained John, "You
can't just go
breaking the rules of dibs."
Score put down his plate and chopsticks and rose to his feet.
"Fine," he said, "I'm gonna go call my room!"
He bolted out the door of
Pipian's room, down the hall and out the door of the hospital.
Tiki,
Jamie, and John jumped up and followed him. Pipian yelled for
them to
come back, realizing he was going to get the crappy room.
A few minutes later, Score was at the PODAHQ, holding on to a
window ledge. He had wall kicked his way to the second floor and
was
trying to get the window open without falling. He threw open the
window
with one big push and pulled himself in. The room was dusty, but
large.
"Hmm, no," said Score, to himself.
He stepped out into the second story hall and looked down the
stairs. "Roomy." He turned around and noticed a bunch
of rooms down the
hall. He ran to the end of the hall and opened the door on the
right.
The room was massive, with a high ceiling and a massive green
house
window. The window faced east, and Score could see the sea speard
out
before him. To the north, there was a balcony that hung over a
small
grove of trees. "I call this room."
After putting a piece of string around the door knob, Score
explored the room directly across the hall. The room has as big
as his,
and had a green house window facing the east, where the sun was
setting
over Mt. Moon. Just then, Jamie burst into the room. "I call
it!" she
yelled.
Tiki and John had picked their own rooms down the hall. Each
also chose a room beside his or her own for their Pokémon.
"Well, I guess Pipian gets those ones," said Score,
gesturing
to the one he had entered through, and the one beside it.
After securing their rooms, the group walked back to the
hospital. As they entered Pipian's hospital room, they saw
something
amazing.
Continued By: Tiki
.
Pipian was not in his room instead
there was a note, "Have gone
to get food," (OKAY not really amazing but I couldnt
think of anything
amazing.) The group sat down and in about fifteen minutes
Pipian came
back with some cafeteria food, he was using a cane but hell
he was
walking. "Hey guys, I suppose I got the shit
room??" He asked.
"Yep," Score said
grabbing a soggy french fry. "now we need to
buy furniture and stuff." he said.
"Yes we do, but we cant spend
too much, we need to buy stuff for
the business and plenty of food and living supplies." Tiki
said. "In
fact we better go buy some stuff soon. But tommorow its too
late.
Lets just sleep at the pokecenter and go shopping tommorow."
They all agreed. They said
good night to pipian and went to the
pokecenter. They checked in and left their pokemon to be
taken care
of. Then they went into their rooms, and got ready for
sleep and
settled down to go to sleep.
That night Tiki had another
dream. He dreamt of himself and his
friends standing and laughing. Then Tiki's eyes turned
black and he
gained a menacing smile. He then grabed a sword and
proceeded to kill
all his fellow comrades.
Tiki woke up in a cold sweet, this must
have been what that angel
person was talking about when tiki died. He still had that
monster in
him. And he didnt know how to get rid of it. He
couldnt get back ti
sleep so he merely lay there and thought, thought about their new
jobs
their old adventures, but mostly he thought about Jamie, and what
hed
done to her and if shed ever forgive him.
The next day the group went
shopping. Each person got a bed and
dresser for their room. They got some chairs for places
like the
living room. They got waiting room chairs, and some filling
cabinets.
They got one computer for the office, and two tvs. Then
they got a
phone for each room. They went to the phone company and
bought some
phone service then some cable TV. Then they got things like
refrigerators, and other non installed things. And they
also got food
for them and their pokemon. Plus a few large bean bags for
everyones
pokemopn to share and sleep on.
In the end they had a mere 150
bucks left. "We better get some
business soon." John said. As the group stood in the
lobby of HQ.

"Well, I'm gonna go arrange my
furniture," said Jamie. "Tell me if you solve
any cases while I'm gone."
As she entered her room, Jamie took a moment to take
in the sights.
"Magnemite, Nidorino, go!" She tossed her
two Pokéballs across the room, and
her respective Pokémon leapt out.
Caterpie was already crawling across the wall,
cooing contently.
Jamie took a look at her jumble of furniture.
"Hey, you two. Give me a hand
here."
Using their various abilities, Jamie's Pokémon
helped her relocate the
furniture to more appropriate locations. When all was done, the
trio collapsed
on the bed. Caterpie crawled up the bed and onto Jamie's
shoulder.
As Jamie cuddled her baby Pokémon, she suddenly
stopped to think. "Don't
Caterpie evolve very early in their life cycle?"
Caterpie simply stared blankly at its owner.
"Ah, never mind. We'd better head back
downstairs, so they don't leave
without us."

Inside his room, John wondered , "Why did I
buy a bed? I have a hammock
and didn't need to waste this money." Upon hearing this, all
his Pokémon
leaped on the bed, claiming their spots. John sweatdropped.
"Sorry guys,
but I'm getting a refund. You'll have to settle for the floor or
a
blanket. John ducked to avoid a Bonemerang, but was tagged on the
rebound. "Ouch! Malice, you Marowak moron! Return!" a
while later, John
was finished, and his room could be described as "early
Robinson Caruso"
as Score put it. Still, John was happy with it.
"Now, to get a refund."
One half-hour later...
"Damn salesmen. Catching a Legendary Bird is easier than
striking a deal
that doesn't rip you off. Not that I ever caught a Legendary
Bird, of
course." Their cash supply had jumped to an even thousand,
which means
John lost 500 in the deal. "Now, all we need is a
case."
"How about that phone call we got a while ago?" asked
Pipian.
"Forget it, whoever was on the phone gave us too little info
to even
warrent a look." replied Tiki.

*I have an overhead view pic of score's room at
http://mew.upnetwork.com/pw/scoresroom.bmp*
Score stood in his new room. "Kickass," he muttered to
himself.
He let Roo, his Kangaskhan, Spanky, his Pidgeotto, Senor, his
Ninetails, and Horny, his Rhyhorn, out of their balls and let
them roam
around the room.
"Kangas, kangaskhan?" *Where am I supposed to sleep?*
"Pidgeeeeooo!" *Just a sec*
Score put a Powerman 5000 CD into his CD player. Half a dozen
speakers positioned strategicly around the room started pumping
out
"When World's Collide".
"Niiiine" *Here we go again"
"Horn! Rhyhorn!" *How can he listen to this crap?*
Spanky flew back into the room with what looked like a old net.
"What do you got there Spanky?" asked Score. Spanky
dropped the net,
and Score untangled it to reveal a hammock.
"Come back you stupid bird!" yelled John as he
barrelled down
the hall, "Gimme back my hammock!"
Spanky grabbed the hammock from Score and flew around the room
with it. John grabbed madly at the hammock, while Spanky and the
other
Pokémon laughed their asses off. Score stood back, muffling a
laugh.
Five minutes later, John had recovered his hammock and had it
back in place. Score walked outside the PODAHQ and bought a paper
from
a vendor. Glancing through the headlines, he noticed something
about a
church fire and an ongoing investigation. He jogged up the stairs
to
Tiki's room and tossed him the paper. "Whaddya think? We've
got nothing
better to do."
Continued by: Tiki."
Score ran into Tiki's room to find him finishing up
his room.
Tiki picked up the paper and read over the article,
"Hmmmmm...
police are not sure how a fire started in a small town church
outside
of Ceruleun. Arsen has been acknowledged as a quite
possible, although
no incediary has been found... Well we have nothing better to do
lets
do it get everyone in here."
"EVERYONE IN TIKI'S ROOM!!!!" Score
yelled.
Everyone ran in, except for Pipian who limped in,
"WHAT?!?!?!"
Pipian yelled.
Tiki described the situation, "So do you wanna
do it?" he asked.
Everyone was cool with it, "Alright we need
someone to man the
station, and I hate to say this Pipian but," Tiki started.
"I know Im not mobile enough Ill stay
here." Pipian replied.
"Alright then the four of us can split up, two
of us can go to the
church, and the other two can go to the town and question
people."
Tiki said.
"I'll ask the townsfolk," Jamie said.
"Me too." John chimed in.
"Alright then its settled, Score lets do
it." Tiki said, he called
in his pokemon and returned them to his pokeballs, but he left
Twirl
and took Mints (Tiki had taken his extra out of the hotel in
lavendar
and just left them at the HQ.)
Tiki and Score walked out of HQ and headed toward
the town about 10
miles southwest of Ceruleun, they were going a la Pidgeot and
Pidgeotto, considering it was close enough for the birds to
figure out
where it was.
The touched down in about fifteen minutes, poor John
and Jamie
wouldnt be here for awhile even if they took a cab. Score
and Tiki
headed over to the Arsen site, which was crawling with
cops. They
walked up to the police line and were confronted by a duo of
cops,
"Excuse me," One said, "do you have permission to
be here?" they asked.
"Uhhhh," Score started.
"YES!" Tiki said he flipped out a small
folded peice of leather as
Score face faulted, he flipped it open revealing his face and an
ID he
also had a detectives lisence, "Here you go."
The cops looked at it and nodded. They walked
in, "Tiki where did
you get that?" Score asked.
"When we went to the post office Jamie and I
bought our detective
licenses and got our ID's made, you guys need to get them."
Tiki
replied smirking.
"Whatever, anyway you check out whats
left inside Ill check
outside." Score said.
"OK," Tiki chimed back.

Lewis had been flying on Pidgeot for about three
hours now. He looked
around. Nothing but forest was for another mile.
Pidgeot flew faster,
and finally they were free of the forest. "Whew!
It's good we're out
of that forest, aye Pidgeot?" Lewis asked. Pidgeot
took a deep
breathe. "I guess you're tired. I guess we could
all use a rest. Set
down by that Pokemon center." Lewis says.
Lewis gave his pokeballs to Nurse Joy and she said they would be
back
in a few minutes. Lewis decided to look around a little
bit. He saw a
flier for the League Championships. He had all 8 badges,
but he
decided he would maybe go to the Indigo Plateau later. The
next flier
he saw was much different. It was an ad for a Pokemon
Detective
Agency. "Hmmm, I bet I could do some
detectiving... I could always
leave anytime I want." Lewis says to himself. He
remembered everything
that was said on it, and got his Pokeballs back from Nurse Joy.
He biked down to the location of the Detective Agency. He
put his
insta-bike back in his backpack, (A bike that compresses to a
smaller
size for easy carrying), and walked inside. There was a a
sign on the
door: "Gone Detectivin'" it read. Lewis walked
inside and sat on the
floor. He decided to wait for the detectives to come back.

As John and Jamie traveled by Rapidash to Celadon
John checked his
pocket. "Crap!"
"What is it?" asked Jamie.
"Aww, I left my wallet and Id back at headquarters. I got to
go get it."
Jamie agreed to meet him with the others in Celadon. John tossed
her
the horses Pokéball, then galloped back to HQ. There, he was
surprised
to see a stanger sitting at the doorway. "Hey you! You're
not an
Insurance Salesman, are you? Because I can't think of anyone else
stubborn enough to wait the entire time we're gone." The
stranger got
up and shook his hand."
"Err, no, I'm not an Insurance Seller. I'm your new Agency
member. You
can call me Lewis." John was not sure how to respond.
"Geez, that was
fast for new members. I don't know, though. Tell you what, you
can help
us on our current investigaton, then I'll let Tiki decide on your
status." john opened up the door and got his wallet, then
traded for a
pair of Pidgeots. All the while, lewis couldn't help but notice
something different about him. "Hey, uhhm what was your name
again?
You've got a Raichu up your butt."
John sweatdropped. "My name's John Laramie, and that Raichu
Tail is a
part of my anatomy. If you have a problem with it, I could care
less."
Lewis nodded, then the two flew to Celadon to catch up with the
rest of
PODA.

In record time, Jamie finished the trip to the
arson site, then recalled the
Rapidash to its Pokéball. As she made her way towards the police
tape, one of
the officials stopped her. "Sorry, no one's allowed here
without proper
identification."
With a flick of the wrist, Jamie flashed her ID.
"Will this suffice?"
"Sorry, detective. Go right on ahead."
Jamie entered the decrepit building and looked
around, pretending to feign
interest.
"Hey, Jamie!" yelled Tiki. "Over
here!"
She quickly ran to the location in question and
greeted her fellow
detectives.
Score then asked, "Shouldn't you be questioning
suspects? And where's John?"
"John forgot his ID, so I'm waiting for him to
get here."

Lewis and John flew on Pidgeots back to
Celadon. Lewis considered what
would happen if he became a detective...
"So Pidgeot, we may be detectives!" Lewis says to
Pidgeot.
"Pidge!" Pidgeot responds.
"So how did you find out about our Detective Agency anyway,
Lewis? We
only started yesterday." John asks. "Well, I
don't know who it was,
but there was a poster that was put up in a Pokemon Center on
Route
14. I assumed you guys had been on for a while and I just
never heard
of you." Lewis replies. "A poster? That's
impossible. Since we only
started yesterday, we haven't had time to add advertise
lately." John
replies. "Then who put up the poster?" Lewis
asks. "No idea. Some
one might've been spying on us and decided to advertise for
us." John
replies. "So what Pokemon do you have, besides
Pidgeot?" John asks.
"Well, I have a Lickitung, a Graveler, a Marowak, a Staryu,
an
Alakazam, and a Weedle." Lewis replies.
"Celadon's just coming up."
John reports. "Good. Let's land near the scene
of the crime." Lewis
replies as he directs Pidgeot where to go.

Lewis and John walked to the door of the
Church. "I'm sorry sirs, but
you're not allowed in there!" a police officer says,
blocking the
door. Lewis goes up to him and says, "Not
allowed? Me? I'm allowed
everywhere!" He shoves the officer out of the way
while John shows him
his detective license. Some of the police and members of
the agency
looked at Lewis, confused at why he was here. Lewis
immediately went
over to some burn marks and scraped some peices of it off into a
clear
vile. "Um, John, who is he?" Jamie asks.
"Someone who claims to want
to join the new agency." John replies. Lewis pulled
out a pokedex and
began programming something into it while pointing it at the vile
with
the ashes in it. "What is he doing?" Tiki
asks. "Beats me." John
replies. The pokedex started a, "busy" signal
while Lewis repeated,
"Please not Psychic, please not psychic..." The
busy signal faded, and
a chemical composition read. The top said, "Psychic
type burst."
"Nuts. Psychic type. I knew it was gonna be
psychic type. I think
I've figured it out. A Psychic Pokemon was here, and was
overhearing
something here that concerned it. In panic, it fired a psy
blast at
this wall and started a fire." Lewis explains.
"Just where do you come
to that conclusion?" Tiki asks. "The chemical
composition leaves a DNA
fingerprint. Depending on the blast, it registers to a
specific type.
Risidual Psychic energy is in this ash I took. I used my
pokedex to
register it as Psychic type and found out this fire was no
accident.
Something, or someone, Psychic deliberately fired at this wall to
start
a fire. The psychic energy is off the scale. I know
only three
Pokemon capable of it. Alakazam, Mew, and to my dismay,
Mewtwo." Lewis
explains.

"Well this sure as heck isnt
Mewtwo, this isnt his style," Tiki
started.
"OH how do you know that?" Lewis asked.
Tiki threw him a nasty glare, "I DO, anyway...
I agree it could have
been an alahkazam that would explain the lack of an
incendiary. But
why, and was it wild or under a humans control?"
"I dunno," Score said, "WHy dont The
new guy Jamie and John go and
ask questions around town, Tiki you and I can keep looking around
the
nearby forest for clues." Score said.
Everyone agreed and the designayed trio walked
off, toward the
small town. "Well lets get looking," Tiki said,
he walked over to a
cop, "Excuse me have you looked around the forest fro
anything?" he
asked.
"Of course," the cop started,
"But we didnt find anything."
"Hmm well lets just give it a quick
go around," Tiki said to
Score. They walked off toward the woods.
An hour later they emerged looking
unhappy, "Nothing," Score said.
"Oh well lets go meet up with the
others and see what going on."
Tiki said.
"Alright," Score said as the
walked off toward town.

"All right, Lewis, come with us," said
Jamie, leading the other two people out
the door and into the town. There weren't many people to
question, since the
police had cleared most of them out. Jamie ran up to a nearby
woman. "Excuse
me, I'm a detective, and was wondering if you could tell us
anything about this
church incident..."
"S-sorry, I d-d-don't know a thing... Excuse
me..." and she quickly ran
away.
"What was that all about?"
Lewis was quick to point out, "Probably your
rather obvious Team Rocket
uniform."
Jamie looked down and saw the big red R on her
chest. "Oh yeah. I guess I
never thought about that before."
"If we're gonna get anything done today, you
should probably change," said
John.
"Good idea."
---
A few minutes later, she returned, wearing a yellow Gap shirt and
some Old Navy
cargo pants. "I feel like a billboard."
"Oh well, at least you don't freak out any
potential witnesses," said Lewis.
"Let's get started."

With nothing much to base on, the mystery ever
deepened... The group
had decided to not further the case for a little bit, and settle
into
the new Agency for awhile. Lewis was already preparing his
room in the
basement of the building. He had already set up a computer
and a room
for his Pokemon. Lewis, being the obsessive type, was still
investigating the church mystery when Jamie walked
downstairs. "Still
working on the case?" Jamie asked. "Yah.
I've narrowed out Mewtwo and
Mew out of suspects. Now we have an Alakazam as our
suspect. I'm
checking local systems. Most likely the person or Pokemon
who did this
isn't local. I'm checking local places and see if anyone
checked into
the city or out of the city. People who have Pokemon with
them must
tell people when they leave town what Pokemon they're leaving
with.
I've narrowed it down to two people. Me, who has an
Alakazam in the
other room, and a man suspected of being a member of Team
Rocket..."
Lewis replies. "What's this guy's info?" Jamie
asks as he walks down
to take a look. "He's been arrested twice by the
officer Jenny of
Celadon for burlgary. Not much, a few jewels here, a
pokeball there.
He's been suspected of being a Team Rocket member do to his
contacts
with unregistered citizens of cities. He checked into
Celadon about a
week before the fire. And he's still here..." Lewis
replies. "I'll
tell the others. We might have to question him." Jamie
responds.
Jamie walks upstairs and Lewis goes over to his Pokemon's
room. He saw
his Weedle, focusing as hard as he could, and pointing its
stinger at a
bullseye target. "Don't worry, Weedle. You'll be
able to do it
someday." Lewis replies as he grabs his trench coat and
recalls his
Pokemon.
