Trying to snatch your Pokémon, but you beat them back. What were these things? [She assuming negative because Jane's avoiding it, but maybe it was positive. Maybe she thinks Roxy will be upset she missed it. Which, honestly, she'll be pretty upset when she realizes she essentially missed a giant funeral party. Not so much the ghosts.

She's not even responding to the Strider comment because obviously they won't refuse. Dirk's probably already figuring it out.]
