The gang may look for more clues after finding the first one.

Chapter 4

The gang went to look for more clues. It will be a long night to solve the case.

"I think we better split up in groups to look for more clues," said Pikachu.

"That'll be a good idea," Bulbasaur said, "considering we would cover as much ground as we could."

"But what if there are ghosts?" Squirtle gulped.

"Don't worry, kid," said Ampharos. "I can help you face your fears."

"Okay, Charmander and I will check the bedroom," said Pikachu. "You guys check the attic."

"You got it," Bulbasaur said.

Squirtle's pupils shrank in fear. "Oh, no! Not the attic!" he cried. "Anything but that!" He ran away, but he got caught by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip.

"You're coming with," said Bulbasaur. "What are you afraid of?"

Pikachu and Bulbasaur went to check the bedroom as the three climbed up the stairs, with Bulbasaur having to drag Squirtle as he tried grasping the stairs with no success.

Inside the bedroom, Pikachu and Charmander look for clues. Pikachu checked under the bed as Charmander opened the closet to check on the shelves. He held his tail for some light.

"I don't see any clues under this bed," thought Pikachu. Suddenly, his tail got caught on the bed sheet, and he got tangled when he squirmed to get it off. "Charmander, help! I can't see anything!"

"Pikachu?"

Alerted, Charmander tried to get down but suddenly tripped and fell off. He grabbed the sheet for support but ended up landing on the floor with the sheet covering him, except for his tail. The two wander around while covered in sheets.

In the attic, Ampharos, Bulbasaur and Squirtle search for clues. Squirtle checked the globe but got his finger pinched when hie rolled the globe around and got that finger caught on a wooden arc.

"Ouch!" Squirtle yelped, sucking his finger.

"Shh! Just keep looking for clues," said Bulbasaur.

Ampharos checked the window for any fingerprints. When she stepped on one of the white sheets that is are curtains for that window, it wound up torn from above, and it fell on her. "Hey, I can't see!" she cried as she wandered around.

"Hold on, Ampharos," said Bulbasaur. He used his Vine Whip to help Ampharos, but his vines got caught in another white sheet from the same window, aneeds when he pulls his vines back, the vines take the sheet with him, and he ended up being covered. "I can't see!"

The two wandered around as Pikachu and Charmander came in the attic. Squirtle then saw his friends covered in sheets, and he screamed. "GHOSTS!" He ran away and head for the door, but he accidentally bumped into it while looking at them, causing the door to close. He started banging on the door. "Help me, you guys! I saw ghosts in the attic! Help, help!"

Squirtle kept banging on the door as the four covered Pokémon wander around until they bump into each other. Ampharos came out of the sheet and noticed the others. She pulled the sheets off to see Bulbasaur, Pikachu, and Charmander.

"What happened?" Charmander asked.

The group noticed Squirtle still banging on the door in the fit of panic. They started yelling at him to stop. Squirtle then hid himself in his shell, and Pikachu came to him.

"Hey, Squirtle, you alright?" Pikachu asked.

"Oh, Pikachu! I just saw ghosts in this attic!" Squirtle said.

"These ghosts you saw were us covered in sheets."

"You guys?" He uncovered himself and saw the group. "Oh, it's really you guys. I was so scared."

"Never mind that," said Bulbasaur. "We gotta keep looking for clues."

"Oh, look!" Charmander gasped.

The group saw some claw marks on the hatch of a fuse box, including an open lock.

"Another clue! It looks like the lights going out is from someone using the fuse box, and only a sharp claw can unlock this lock," said Pikachu.

"But what about the ghost that we saw in the dining room?" Squirtle asked.

"It wasn't the real Dusknoir," said Ampharos. "It was a hologram. Someone must've hidden the projector somewhere and played it when the lights went out."

"That has to be another clue! Come on!"

The group returned to the dining room where they met Dusknoir. They looked for the projector, when Squirtle noticed a small hole on the wall, but when he poked his finger through it, he heard a slight torn of paper. "Uh, guys," he said, "I think I found it."

Bulbasaur tore the paper from the wall, and behind that sheet of paper was a storage room, and on a barrel was the hologram projector.

"There it is!" Pikachu smiled. "Looks like the culprit had made this sheet of wall to hide this storage room and the projector!"

"But what about the disappearance of Feraligatr and Krokorok?" Squirtle asked.

Pikachu crossed his arms. "There's only one way to find out. We're gonna look for a secret passage way."

The group had found two new clues. But will they find a secret passage that can explain the disappearance of Krokorok and Feraligatr?
