As soon as I hear his words, they echo in my head and I gasp in shock. This can't be right! I saw Nick pick up the stones and put it in the bag. If he'd dropped them then I would definitely have seen it. I look through the bag myself, and then notice that he was actually right the stones we picked up were missing! What were we to do?
"What?! GURDURR!" Gurdurr says and then slams his wood down on the ground. Suddenly he bursts into voracious laughter and then says, "You're joking with me. You never went to get the stones in the first place, did you?" I exchange a glance with Nick and then he looks at me in shock.
"No Gurdurr, we promise we went to get the stones but they aren't here anymore! I don't understand..." He collapses to the ground. "Kyle, there's nothing else we can do now but go and get more stones." I feel sad as I see him like this because I know there is nothing I can do to help him and so I nod my head. "Gurdurr, we'll go get more stones..." Nick says and then nods his head forward as our glances meet each other. I walk out of the inn and then as we are walking towards the crossroads, I hear footsteps approaching us. I immediately turn and Nick turns as well. We look and see the two Timburr coming towards us.
"Kyle and Nick! We need to tell you something!" They say in unison. I glance at Nick and wonder what is going on and then I listen to what they have to say.
"Listen, we know that your stones have been stolen!" Nick gasps, and his red eyes widen.
"What?! Our stones were stolen? How is this possible?"
"We saw...Scraggy take your stones!" Was Scraggy that pokemon we saw earlier? I am certain it was but I know that Nick could make this realization as well.
"Scraggy? You mean that pokemon who...we saw earlier?" The Timburr nod their heads and then they say,
"Go on and get the stones!" They leave me and Nick staring at them in silence and then after a few moments Nick asks,
"Where do we find Scraggy?"
"At a place called Hazy Pass! You can get there through the crossroads!" The Timburr run off and leave the two of us alone. Nick looks at me with his mouth open and then without hesitation he says to me,
"Kyle, let's go and get back those stones!" I nod my head and then run towards the crossroads to make our way towards Hazy Pass.
