_{[It's been a couple days since the craziness of the weekend has passed, and for Bertolt there's only been more of it. When the feed switches on it's at an angle, but Bertolt gives the pokegear a slightly concerned look. He's a little disheveled but overall he seems fine, so what could possibly--

Somewhere out of sight, a Pokemon screeches - the way it cracks in the middle points at it being a baby still - but regardless Bertolt winces.]}

--Sorry, uh... If anyone is around Celadon, I... think it'd be a good idea to avoid the big Starmiebucks for a couple days. One of m--

_{[Another screech, and it starts to turn into a near-constant one and almost, almost starts to mimic the worst thing imaginable. This in turn earns a wince and a grimace, and Bertolt cuts the video, but just before he does? There's a short glimpse of a small, shiny Aerodactyl perched on top of the Starmiebucks logo.]}

Sorry, again. She's been doing this all day and she won't come back into her ball (I don't think I can throw it at the right angle either), but one of my Pokemon decided to fly up to the roof of Starmiebucks and scream at people as they go in or leave. If you see her, don't worry too much. She might look a little scary but at most she'll just keep screaming. She's just very|

loud.

I'm hoping I can climb up when she tires herself out and get her down myself but so far she hasn't shown any signs of doing that yet.

I'm really, really sorry.

_{[It couldn't possibly be a ploy on the Aerodactyl's part to drive people away from Starmiebucks and towards FCAB instead, could it?]}

It's a pretty good impression.

So do you think the cops are going to try to do anything?

[Because that might not go well, he's pretty sure.]

I never heard one until here, honestly.

_{[But the Jennies... O o f, he didn't even think about that.]}

...I suppose if they come to me about it, I could try bribing them with another batch of Growlithe eggs? Maybe? They, uh... They seem to really like Marcel.

_{[Bertolt are you bribing the police?]}

Do they even take bribes here?

[Dipper is clearly tackling the real issue here.]

I'm like across town. If they start coming after you I can start a diversion or something. I bet Blizzard would be up for it.

[Let's be real. Blizzard is always up for property damage.]

They might, I... actually haven't tried beyond getting some small favors from them while Jean was in jail for a month.

_{[And they were for very small things, too. Like getting an extra hour or two of visiting time. Then again, Violet was also much smaller than Celadon.]}

...Is it weird that almost sounds fun?

Maybe they'll see this as something small too. I mean it's pokemon related that isn't stealing and there don't seem to be many rules about them.

Unless I just don't know them.

[He should find a law book one day. ....though plausible deniability is always good.]

It's totally fun. You just avoid doing any actual terrible things and if it's for a good cause.

[The Pines family. It's not breaking the law if we run.]
