On a two-story gray house, (with a porch) it was dark, with thunder striking. Suddenly, the sky cleared up, and it was now daytime. An Uber delivery driver parked in front of the house, got out 2 bags of groceries, walked onto the porch, and rang the doorbell...

Uber driver: Hello?

He put the groceries down on the ground, then knocked on the door when no one answered. Still, no one came...

Driver: Mrs. Abiko? I have your groceries!

The driver checked the doorknob, where, to his surprise, it was unlocked. He opened the door, picked up the grocery bags, went to the kitchen, and put them on the table. He went all around the house to look for its resident.

Driver: Hello, Mrs. Abiko, are you there?

When he made it to the bedroom, he finally found the resident... laying very still on her bed, with alcohol next to her! The driver quickly ran out of the house as he could, back to his vehicle, and drove off. Once he was far away from the house, he called 9-1-1 to inform the police what he discovered there. In Tokyo, Japan, a teenage girl with short orange-red hair, brownish-red eyes, and wearing her Jubilife City outfit, Zoey Nozomi, was signing autographs at the Junkudo Ikebukuro bookstore...

Japanese woman: Miss Zoey Nokomi, what is your book, 'The Pokémon Experience' about?

Zoey: Well, ma'am, during me and my Glameow's travels, I've learned about many kinds of other Pokémon, along with those champion ribbons I've won, and I thought I'd write about those experiences as a book.

Just then, an international news report came on TV...

Mexican news reporter: We're live from Mexico City, Mexico, where a citizen had reported that something bizarre happened in the house of Mrs. Emiko Abiko...

Zoey and her Pokémon, Glameow, watched the report and paid close attention to it. Zoey knew that Mrs. Abiko is her close friend, Dawn Hikari's grandmother, and dawn herself recently called her to say that she was visiting over there.

The reporter said that Mrs. Abiko's granddaughter Dawn had suddenly disappeared, and neighbors said that they saw her outside, upbeat and perky, the other day...

Zoey: (worried) Wow, this is serious, Glameow.

Glameow nodded, and nestled on Zoey's leg...

After the book signing, Zoey went back to her hotel room, changed back to her casual attire, (black sunglasses above her hair. a small necklace around her neck, a pink Pokétch on her left wrist, a dark magenta shirt under a light orange vest, and pale blue jeans, red socks and brown boots with gray, and brown laces) and sat down on the bed. While petting Glameow, she wondered, 'I wonder what happened to Mrs. Abiko when she died?' Pondering to herself, she went to the mini fridge, got out a Hungry Man TV dinner, and put it in the microwave.

After that, her phone rang, which startled Zoey and Glameow. She then put on loud rock music on her smartphone, then answered it, which revealed to be her childhood friend, Candace Suzuna...

Candace: (voice on phone) Hello?

Zoey: Oh, hi, Miss Senior, I wasn't expecting you to call!

Candace: Is that loud music?

Zoey: (loudly) Oh, yes, the hotel maid is cleaning my room, and she didn't know about the music? (off the phone) Could you please turn that down?! (turns down the music on her phone, then returns to it) Anyway, what's up?

Candace: Well, I called to tell you that I found out more information about Dawn's grandmother.

Zoey: (worried) What happened?

Candace: There doesn't seem to be any evidence of foul play, but that fact that Dawn mysteriously disappeared worries me...

Zoey listened to what Candace had said very clearly, and thought about what she could do to help out in finding Dawn. After a few minutes of thinking, Zoey had a plan...

Candace: Zo-Zo, you still there?

Zoey: (realizes) Oh, sorry, Miss Senior. I have a plan on how I could help get dawn back safe and sound. But you might want to tell her mom she disappeared, in case she doesn't know about this yet.

Candace: Okay, I'm all ears.

Zoey explained her plan to Candace, who was shocked at what she was going to do: That Zoey would go to that house in Mexico City, and investigate there. After ending the call, Zoey said to Glameow, 'We'll have to go to that house, and find out where Dawn went.' Her Pokémon looked at her in surprise. At the Hineda Airport the next day, candace was with Zoey and Glameow...

Candace: Zo-Zo, someone was just found dead in that house. Are you sure you want to go there right now?

Zoey: I have to, Miss Senior. Dawn's not only my rival, but one of my good friends.

Candace: I understand. (hugs Zoey) Be careful in Mexico City, Zo-Zo.

Zoey: (hugs Candace back) I sure will, Miss Senior. Tell Johanna (Dawn's mother) that I will get her daughter back.

Zoey (with Glameow by her side) got a flight to Mexico City, Mexico, where the scary house that Dawn had disappeared was...
