[Sento looks grim.]
I'd like to warn everyone to be mindful of their surroundings--we seem to be in a period of brief, intermittent crime waves. Several nights ago, I came across three individuals who'd been robbed of their Pokeballs and their cash, and I feel the need to warn everyone. It's a pattern, and it happened on five other occasions in Violet City alone this past weekend. I've investigated a bit further, and such single-day rashes of similar muggings have also happened in the past in Saffron, Goldenrod, and Ecruteak.
[He will refrain from showing the maps he's marked up plotting out where each and every crime took place.]
Such robberies are always concentrated in the same city on the same evening, always targeting groups of two or three people. The stories of the victims I was able to speak with in person match up with the other accounts the police have. Victims all felt a pull urging them towards an alley, heard a sort of jingling noise and couldn't move, and then beheld what I can only assume was some sort of terrifying vision, only to lose consciousness. I'd assume a Pokemon technique took care of that part; no one showed any signs of being physically hit over the head with anything.
The culprit was a Team Rocket operative with a Xatu--I'm not certain what other Pokemon they may have used to further their nefarious schemes, for they were able to teleport away before I could do anything. They may not even have realized was there; I showed up moments too late.
[Oh, he's frustrated about that, he's real frustrated.]
It would seem my presence here is fortunate; this world certainly seems as though it could use a hero of justice.
[There's a Raboot audibly sighing somewhere in the background.]
