"Does this work?"

"I can hear you, yeah."

"Okay."

"And - yeah. I think someone poisoned dad. On purpose."

"Why?"

"People have been disappearing. We noticed at first when some of dad's human friends vanished, but - we've been poking, and there's been some pokemon who don't have humans disappearing too. From a lot of places. Officer Jenny knows, but everyone who's vanished isn't - like, people who talk to law enforcement officers. Or who have permanent addresses, a lot of the time, so - they can't really prove there's even something to investigate, and all the police forces are tiny and just - normally going and making disappointed faces at dumb teenagers. Not like handling crimes."

"So dad's been investigating. He's part of the community, you know? The human one being hit. And I've been trying to talk to the wild pokemon, and the ones sort of - on the edges of cities and stuff. And - "

"There've been sorta vague threats. To stop looking."

"That's- not great."

"Yeah. It's - bad and scary."

"Is there anything specific you want me to tell the police?"

"That I think dad was intentionally poisoned. We haven't bought any new weird exotic foods, lately, and he's careful about not getting food poisoning or anything. Oh, and remind Officer Jenny about the threats we got."

"I haven't seen anyone strange around, though, and I dunno how dad was poisoned. I didn't smell anything off, but it's probably worth having someone with better senses go through all our stuff. Officer Jenny and any coworkers accompanying her have my permission to do that, but no one else."

"I also don't think whoever did this is likely to stop just because we got dad to a hospital in time. I'm... Really nervous about that."

"Maybe they can... put a watch on him, or something."

"Maybe..."

"You can probably stay with him while he sleeps."

"...I don't want to. I want to find out who did this."

"Okay. Let me write up your statement for the police, then you can sign it."

"Okay. Thanks."

She gets some paper to do that and reads aloud as she writes it, then Flareon can make her mark at the bottom.

She does, biting her lip a bit.

"I wanna stay here until I can talk to Officer Jenny," she says, "But then I want to go looking."

"I - "

"Will you stay in case I need to say stuff? I can use the tablets but they're really slow."

"Yes, I'll stay."

"Thank you."

Eventually, Officer Jenny arrives. She takes the statement Ellie wrote up for Flareon, asks a few clarifying questions and appends the responses. (Flareon is asked to sign off on these again.) She agrees that the circumstances are suspicious enough to justify a guard, at least until Mr. Reynolds wakes and can provide his own testimony, at which point further avenues of investigation might open.

...Off the record, Jenny thinks that there is a pattern here someone's trying to hide, with the missing pokemon and humans. There's not enough solid evidence that she can do anything official about it, but she's going to get in touch with some contacts in INTERPOL.

Flareon nods.

(She wants to try to do something herself. Poke around.)

...Does she want help?

If help's being offered, yeah. 

Ellie's is, and probably Intrepid and Flicker too.

Intrepid nods, seriously.

(Not being able to talk to Ellie is - weird, but she's learning the umbreon language a little, so...)
