Mal's group landed in the outskirts of town, and then ran to the Pokemon Center. Before they entered, Mal looked at Edgar and said, "Look, Blondie, if you give anything away, I'll tell my dad about it! So don't try to share anything of importance……"
"Ok……." Edgar replied.
"Good, now let's go. Once inside, half the group will tie up the trainers, and the rest will come with me to get the medicine." Mal said.
The group entered the Pokemon Center, and half the group tied the trainers up while the rest went with Mal.
Mal found the nurse, Nurse Joy! We need medicine for a sick child. Come on now……. Do you want something to happen to the kids in the lobby?"
"Of course I don't! Tell me what's wrong with the child, and I'll give you the medicine you need……" Nurse Joy said.
Mal described Karania's condition to the nurse.
"That's not good……." The nurse's eyes landed on Edgar, "Edgar Birch, what are you doing here?!?!"
Edgar replied, "I might tell you later on……"
Mal gave Edgar an evil glare and leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You'll be lucky if my dad doesn't kill Karania over this, you little brat!"
Edgar replied, "What?!?! I didn't tell her anything……"
Mal replied, "That doesn't matter, you still slipped up."
Edgar didn't reply, and Mal walked away from him and went with the nurse to get the medicines for Karania.
Then some grunts walked over to Edgar, one of the grunts tapped Edgar and said, "Hey, don't worry about it…… Karania's just a girl."
"A girl I care about!" Edgar said concerned.
"Sorry, I didn't know……" The grunt said.
Now Edgar asked, "Do you think she'll hold that little slip up against me?"
"I doubt it." Another grunt replied.
"Yeah, you didn't tell the nurse anything when she asked, so I don't think Mal with tell her dad about it. I think she only said that to make you panic, since you care about Karania and don't want her to be harmed." The second grunt said.
"If it helps, I messed up worse than that on my first mission. It was a wonder that Maxie didn't fire me……" The first grunt said.
Mal and the nurse returned carrying two mesh bags full of medicine bottles that were all for Karania. Some grunts walked over and took the bags from Mal and the nurse. Now everyone in Mal's group left the Pokemon Center, and once they left Nurse Joy called the Police.

"Officer Jenny, Team Magma was just in my Pokemon Center, and they stole a large number of medicine bottles from me. They said that it was for a sick child they had." Nurse Joy said speaking into the phone.
"They did?" Nurse Joy asked.
"Yes, they did." There was one person in their group, who I don't think was doing it of his own will." Nurse Joy said.
"Really?!?! Who?" Officer Jenny asked.
"Edgar Birch, he tried to give me a clue about what was happening, but he couldn't say much." Nurse Joy said.
"I'll look into this right away! Thanks for telling me." Officer Jenny said.
They exchanged goodbyes, and Nurse Joy hung up the phone. Then she went to see if the kids were okay.
