"So is that it Duking? Are you just going to sit there and let Miror B run the coliseum like it was his?!" shouted a young male voice which was the first thing Wes and Yuki heard
Wes and Yuki froze and just peeked into the office where a young man about 15 was yelling at a large muscle bound bodybuilder who could easily send the kid flying with a flick of his wrist if he was angry
However Duking was in no such mood as a matter of fact he was in a gloomy depressed mood. He even couldn't look the kid in the eye so he just turned his head and said nothing.
The kid sighed and had a slight tear in his eye "huh… so you're just going to clam up huh. Say nothing, do nothing be nothing… and I looked up to you. Well so be it have it your way…" The kid turned and ran out the door barely noticing Wes and Yuki.
Yuki whispered "uh Wes you think this is a bad time…"
"hmm…" was Wes response, He tapped on the door "Duking?"
"You're in the wrong place to be registering for a challenge." Duking said in a monotone voice "You make your registration at the stadium itself now I have some paperwork to do leave me alone." He took up some papers and started to work with them
Wes blinked and said "Alright if you insist." He nudged Yuki and signaled that they should leave.
Yuki said when they were out of the office and out of earshot "Wonder what's eating him…"
Wes said "He's knows something about the Shadow Pokemon but yet he can't do anything about it someone got a short leash on him."
Yuki said "Like Miror B?"
Wes said "Yeah… but what are they using against him?"
"Hey you Silver haired punk in the blue jacket" came a quick voice before Yuki could answer
Wes flinched and said "uh me." And looked around.
A slim guy that looked similar to a nutcracker solider with sharp blue eyes in a police outfit approached Wes and Yuki "Yeah you… I received word you stole two pokemon from their trainers and I have over 50 eyewitness accounts that tell me the same."
Wes said "True I did but" He reached into his pocket.
The police man quickly pulled out a slingshot loaded with a small pebble and said "Drop it, hands in the air, I've got a weapon and know how to use it."
"A slingshot?" Yuki asked completely confused
The policeman said "Yeah… Chief wouldn't give me a gun so I had to improvise."
Wes remained calm and said "Look if you just lower the weapon. I can explain everything. Justy from Phenac City told me that if I have trouble with the law I can just talk to Sherriff Sherles."
The policeman said "Talk you will as soon as you are behind bars!"
"Deputy Johnson, Deputy Johnson."
Ron skated in completely panicked
Deputy Johnson turned and said "What is it Ron."
Ron said "It's the windmill Silva swiped the main gear and knocked out the main conductor. The coliseum lost all power and everyone trapped inside and panicked
Johnson said "Go tell the sheriff I'll be down there as I…" He turned to arrest Wes but Yuki followed by Wes were running toward the police Headquarters.
Ron said "Yeah go Yuki tell the sheriff!"
Johnson did a double take "Hey come back here!" He shouted and gave chase
It had been Yuki idea to run to Police Headquarters, One to get Sheriff Sherles knowing that Johnson was not him and two to pass on this alert.
They both entered into the headquarters
A police outfitted gentlemen looked up from his desk and said "Can I help you?"
Yuki asked "Are you Sheriff Sherles?"
The gentleman nodded and said "That is correct…"
Wes approached him and said "Sheriff My name is Wes. Did someone report to you that I stole two pokemon."
Sherles shook his head "Nope I just came off my lunch break and my deputy was in charge while I was gone. Is there a problem?"
Wes said "Yes…" He pulled out his immunity card and handed it to Sherles "Justy told me to contact you if I have a problem and your Deputy is on my tail and…"
Johnson took that minute and shot into the headquarters "There you are you snagger! He grabbed him by the wrist and flicked on a pair of handcuffs "You're under arrest for stealing pokemon and running from the law."
Sherles said "Johnson release this young man immediently."
Johnson said "But chief I have 50 eyewitness accounts."
Sherles held up Wes's immunity card "And I have this which make Wes immune to all laws against the act of stealing pokemon. Now unhand him"
Johnson sighed and reached into his pocket blinked and reached into the other pocket of his pants "uh…"
Sherles said "Now what?"
Johnson said "I don't have the keys to these cuffs…"
Yuki giggled slightly
Wes said "First a slingshot now no keys to a pair of handcuffs. Uh sheriff you sure he's your deputy…"
Sherles said "unfortunately he is."
Wes sighed "Yuki release Espeon and tell him to break me out of these cuffs."
Yuki clicked Espeon ball and he shot out "What's up"
Wes said "A little help Espeon…" He rattled the cuffs "the Deputy forgot the key"
Espeon said "You mean the little one in his shirt pocket?" He had also transmitted this telepathically so that Johnson could understand him
Johnson blinked and reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a small key "Oh there it is."
Wes said "Thanks…"
Espeon grinned "Don't mention it."
Johnson released the cuff and Wes rubbed his wrist slightly while saying "Now that's over there trouble at the windmill someone named Silva swiped the main gear and now power to coliseum is out trapping people inside."
Sheriff Sherles said "Thank you Wes… I'll investigate." He handed Wes his card back "Deputy Johnson!"
Johnson stood at attention "Yes Chief"
Sherles said "Get Duking and help get the people out of the coliseum and if any more reports of Wes stealing pokemon come to you ignore them"
Johnson said "Yes Sir…" and walked out
Sherles turned back to Wes "You sure it was Silva."
Yuki said "Well that what Ron said"
Sherles said "hmm… this is a big change even for him well no matter... I'll investigate the scene of the crime." He stood up
Yuki said "Is there anything we can do to help?"
Sherles said "If it's at all possible try and talk to the people of Duel Square they don't like talking to me. If you have to battle them to get the information do so. Justy already called ahead and told me about what you are doing I hope whoever behind this Shadow Pokemon threat is brought to justice one way or another."
Wes nodded "Will do Sheriff."
