"Hello? This is Sarah."

"Hey Sarah, it's me."

"Rafa! What's up? You haven't called in a while."

"Sorry, I've been so busy. How you been?"

"Well, LONELY. And it's all YOUR fault. Nah, I'm just teasing.I've been great! I'm finally
getting used to having my own place."

"That's good to hear."

"Actually, I'm calling because I have a favor to ask."

"I know, I know. You want me to hold evidence for you?"

"Sharp as always! There's a lot of buzz about the upcoming trial...I just don't feel safe
keeping the evidence in my possession."

"I gotcha. So, what is it this time?"

"It's... a clock."

"A clock?"

"Yeah, it's made to look like that statue, "The Thinker." And it tells you the time! I thought you might like it. You always liked toys."

"Hey! I'm not a little girl anymore, Sis!"

"Now, now. You know I'm only teasing. Ah, I should probably tell you, the clock isn't talking right now."

"Huh? It's not working? That's lame!"

"I had to take the clockwork out. Sorry. I put some papers inside it instead."

"Papers? Is that the evidence, then? Hmm, well... there's a possibility that it might turn out that way, yes."

"Can you come by the office tonight, say 9:00, to pick it up? I'll be in a pretrial meeting until then."

"Okay, Sis, but I expect dinner! Something good! Like...Hot Wings!"

"Okay, okay. We'll hit the usual joint."

"Alright! It's a deal!"

"Okay, Sis, see you soon!"

"Yep. I'll be waiting, Sarah."

September 5, 8:57 PM Grace & Co. Law Offices

"Now, Miss Grace, I'll take what's mine... the papers." a man with a deep voice said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't give you what I don't have." Rafa replied to the man.

"Miss Grace, you are a poor liar." the man said. "Why, I see it right over there...That must be "The Thinker" that swallowed those papers." the man continued.

"How could you know...?" Rafa asked with a tone of fear in her voice now.

"Ho hoh. You are not aware of my background? Gathering information is my business, you see." the man replied.

"I... I should have been more careful." Rafa said, trembling.

"Ho hoh. My dear Miss Grace...I am so very sorry. But I am afraid I must ask you for one more thing...Your eternal silence...Farewell, Miss Fey." the man said.

"W-what!? N-no!" Rafa said as she started running from the man, but the man tackled and pinned her down. Then he grabbed "The Thinker" clock...hit Rafa in the head with it...and walked away from office, leaving a motionless body there...

Fey & Co. Law Offices

Isaac came into the office. "Uh oh, I'm late..." Isaac looked around. "Huh, that's strange. The chief must have gone home already...She said her sister was coming over so we should all go out for dinner..." he said. Suddenly, he started to smell an odd scent. "Hmm...blood?" Isaac question, until he had look worried. "Chief!" he yelled as he ran into Rafa's office...

As he entered, he look around and what he saw had horrified him. "N-no...no...chief!" Isaac cried as he ran to Rafa's body. "C-chief..." was all Isaac could say as he picked up her hand. It felt warm...until it grew colder...and colder...until there was no more warmth. As he felt her hand get cold, he heard someone else crying and saw a Shiny Gardevoir crying. (A pokemon...and a shiny one too...) Isaac thought. Ever since the discovery of Pokemon in the world, things changed, but people got used to it. Now Pokemon lived alongside with people, thought there was always conflicts back when it started.

"S-sis!" the Gardevoir cried as she ran to Rafa's body.

(Sis? Since when were th-oh...I remember now...Chief did tell me that she had an adopted sister...the only thing I never understood back then was what she said about her... "She...isn't really much of a person..." was what she said...but now I get it...she adopted a Pokemon as her sister!) Isaac thought. He looked up to see a lady with a phone in her hand, looking down at the office. (Look's like there's no need to call the police...) Isaac thought. Isaac looked at the crying Gardevoir as she held on to Rafa's body. Isaac couldn't hold back his tears either, but he had to be sure the Gardevoir was actually Rafa's sister. "Uh...hello?" Isaac said. The Gardevoir looked up to Isaac. "What's your name?" Isaac asked. The Gardevoir was about to respond but she fainted. (Must be out of shock...I don't blame her...) Isaac thought as he carried the Gardevoir over to a sofa in another room. Isaac then walked back to the scene of the crime. "Time to get to work." he said as he looked around for any clue he could find. "Great..." he said as he picked up the clock. "How ironic that this would be a murder weapon again..." He then saw a slip of paper fall out of Rafa's pocket. "Huh?" he said as he pick up the sheet. It was a receipt, but on the back, the word "Sarah" was written in blood. "Sarah?" Isaac asked to himself. "Wait...could that be...?" Isaac wondered as he walked back to the other room.

"H-hello..." the Gardevoir said as Isaac returned.

"Oh! U-uh...hello..." Isaac replied. "Are you okay now?" he asked.

The Gardevoir nodded. "Yes. B-but Sis is..." she said as she started crying again.

"...What's your name?" Isaac asked.

"S-sarah..." the Gardevoir replied.

"Hmm...I want to show you something." Isaac said.

"Huh?" Sarah replied. Isaac showed her the receipt with the blood-written message on it. "H-huh? T-that's my name...Why would sis write my name?" Sarah said.

"That's what I wanted to figure out." Isaac said. Suddenly the door bolted open as three men came in.

"Everybody freeze! This is the police!" the first man yelled, as both Isaac and Sarah stood there, shocked by their entrance.
