Raboot and Drizzle are walking throughout the woods, carrying Pikachu's unconscious body along with them.
"Hm. Where could this ring possibly be?" Drizzile wonders. "We've been searching for hours."
"Let me see the map the guy gave us." Says Raboot. "He marked where he last was with it, didn't he?"
"Yeah, he did." Drizzile says, handing over the map. "We've searched everywhere he marked."
Raboot examines the paper.
"You're right. There's no part of the forest on this map that we didn't search."
"Not to mention, we even looked past what the map marked, just to be sure!" Drizzile recalled.
"So, what gives?" Questions Raboot.
"Hm...If we've searched this whole forest, and still haven't come up with the ring, then the only other possibility is that someone took it." Drizzile presumed.
"That just might be true. It must be the work of those outlaws again. "
"The outlaws? Those guys are always up to something...Depending on how valuable that ring was, it probably would've been a no-brainer for an outlaw to steal something like that."
"Exactly."
"So, if that's the case, what do we do now? Do we report it, or do we track it down ourselves?"
"We should go back and update that Pokemon on the information we have on his ring. Then, we'll track it down tomorrow. We need to go back to Pokemon square, anyways. After all, we shouldn't be carrying a fainted pokemon around on a mission like this."
"Oh, right!" Drizzile looks at Pikachu. "Forgot we were carrying this guy around."
"Come on, Drizzile." Raboot says, as he grabs the toolbox. "Let's head back."
Raboot starts walking back to the town.
Drizzile starts walking as well, when he notices a figure behind some trees.
"Huh? Who's there?"
"AAAAAH!" The figure jolts back, from being startled.
Drizzile gets a good look at the figure and sees that it is actually Jigglypuff.
Jigglypuff starts sobbing.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you there."
"Oh...I'm sorry for screaming like that.." Jigglypuff sniffles. "I-I was getting chased by outlaws...They were trying to kidnap me..I lost them, but I'm still anxious that they're still here, looking for me...That's why I got so startled."
"Really? You shouldn't be here in the woods all by yourself...It can be pretty dangerous here."
"I know, but... I was trying to find my friend, Rowlet.. he disappeared some time ago, and I've been trying so hard to find him... I just hope he hasn't gotten himself into any trouble..."
"That is odd... But even then, you shouldn't be taking these types of matters into your own hands. Situations like that are what us rangers are for. If you report it to us, we'll be sure to help you."
"T-Thank you...You have no idea what this means to me..."
"No problem."
"Drizzile!" Raboot shouts. "What's holding you up?
"Uh...Coming!" Drizzile responds.
Drizzile looks back to Jigglypuff.
"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find your friend. For now, just stay out of trouble, alright?"
"Alright." Jigglypuff smiles. Her tears of sadness have now turned into a simple sign of thankfulness and reassurance.
Drizzile walks back to the Pokemon square, along with Raboot.
Jigglypuff waves Drizzile goodbye.
"Thank you..."
