With Wart; he was getting a fast food sack and a soda from a food stand before going over to a table and sitting down.
"Me a bad detective, huh, does she even know me? I've worked with the world's greatest detective several times." said Wart.
He then did some thinking.
"Earth's greatest detective." said Wart.
He sighed and pulled out a brief case before setting it on the table and opening it up, revealing what looked like a red version of the original ultimatrix, but the omnitrix symbol was replaced by a white star over a blue coloring scheme, and the wrist coupling was red, blue, and white striped.
"Where are you Meek, if I were anything like you or Batman, I would have figured it out already." said Wart.
He then sighed and ate a fry.
"This seat taken?" said a voice.
Wart looked up and saw Luna back in her original outfit and the others looking at him.
"Knock yourselves out." said Wart.
The group nodded and sat down.
Lincoln noticed the new gauntlet.
"What's this thing?" said Lincoln.
"A little something I had Tony Stark build for if Meek ever decided to return." said Wart.
Lincoln nodded.
"Impressive." said Lincoln.
"I know." said Wart.
He closed the briefcase.
"Any other leads?" said Luna.
Wart shook his head.
"No, I got nothing. Goes to show just how bad a detective I really am." said Wart.
"Actually, you're one of the greatest detective's I know." said Luna.
Wart turned to Luna.
"You figured out that train had a bomb shelter and deduced Meek was still alive due to the training he's had over the years of being with Seeker." said Luna.
Wart chuckled.
"To be honest, I don't blame you for moping for three weeks, I'd take it that hard myself if my sister were killed." said Wart.
The two chuckled.
"That's more like it." said Bobby.
"So what now?" said Badger.
"I have no idea." said Wart.
Everyone became shocked.
"What?" said Lori.
"With no other leads, we won't be able to find Meek. He's now a ghost to us, he-"Wart said before looking at a trash can and becoming confused.
He walked over to the can and pulled out today's Mobian Daily paper from the can and read the front page.
He became shocked and placed the paper on the table.
Everyone became confused.
"What's that?" said Ronnie.
"The clue we overlooked." said Wart.
Badger picked up the paper and looked at the front page.
"Westopolis Orphanage-"Badger said before he became shocked, "The place Meek spent a year at."
Everyone became shocked.
"Of course, the place he wound up at after his parents died." said Luna, "How could we have overlooked that?"
"I could think of several good reasons." said Ronnie.
Later; the group was in front of the Westopolis Orphanage.
"Well, this is the place." said Wart.
"Seems very creepy." said Lincoln.
"To be fair, this place has been mothballed two years ago. It has to be creepy." said Badger.
Everyone nodded before hearing a roaring sound.
"I think I just wet myself." said Lori.
Then a shadowy figure tackled Lincoln to the ground, shocking everyone.
They looked down and saw Rockruff licking Lincoln's face.
The albino kid started laughing.
"Okay, okay, uncle, I give up." said Lincoln.
Rockruff stopped licking Lincoln and sat down before barking.
Lincoln smiled
"How would you like to be my Pokémon?" asked Lincoln.
The Rockruff got off Lincoln and shook his head.
"Wow, that's a first." said Lincoln.
Wart did some thinking.
"I've got a theory." said Wart.
He removed one of Meek's gauntlets and set it down close to the Pokemon.
The pup sniffed the gauntlet before barking happily.
"This thing has bonded with Meek three weeks ago." said Wart.
Everyone became confused.
"How so?" said Bobby.
"Meek's gauntlets do have his scent on them as always." said Wart.
Lincoln turned to the Rockruff.
"You seen a five foot ten inches and 127 pound meerkat here?" said Lincoln.
Rockruff nodded.
He ran into the orphanage.
Everyone followed the Pokemon.
Rockruff and the others entered the bedroom and saw the sleeping Meek.
Luna approached her sleeping boyfriend and felt his neck.
She sighed in relief.
"Good, he's still alive." said Luna.
Everyone approached Meek.
"What a heavy sleeper." said Wart.
"Doesn't he know this place will be demolished in half an hour?" said Bobby.
"I'm sure he does." said Badger.
