"Sooooo.... Who are you suspecting of this, Big sis'? Any new clues found? Need any help?" Said a colloquial Ricky with baby Phanpy eyes to his older sister, Linda Holmes.

"Don't you have another sibling to annoy?" Holmes replied, her attention on the documents.

"Don't be as cold as him, Big Sis'! And anyway he beat you this time.... He sent me over so that I stop annoying him... And I can't even try battling him to entertain myself...Raichu's moves are all ineffective to his scary Lucario....So, in summary, you are stuck with me today!" Ricky exclaimed cheerfully.

"Oh joy... How lucky of me," she replied sarcastically.

"Don't be such a killjoy, Big Sis'! And don't evade my questions!"

Holmes just sighed before replying, "Let's see if you can keep up to your surname at least.... Firstly, this is no game or joke so stop with the gamer face."

"Yes, Ma'am!"

Holmes took a moment to retain her cool and retrieve some photographs before continuing, "So far we have seven suspects:

"Lady A. Rowan, also known as Adriana Rowan. A pokémon trainer and coordinator who is the granddaughter of Professor Rowan, from Sandgem Town. She participated with a Meloetta who knows Copycat, Relic Song and Song in the auditions. These moves can cause sleepiness, and the security guards were found unconscious. Moreover, she was recognized in the pixel image. Additionally, one of the contestants left her a letter in which she accused her and depicted the desperate state in which Rowan was. Finally, during the period of time that the hacking must have taken place, she has no clear alibi.

"The next suspect is Lady F. of which not much is known. Most of the other contestants don't know her. All that is certain is that she appears to have some connection with Lady G., Lady R. and Amy. Also, she has no alibi, and she has a Fennekin which could use Hypnosis.

"There are a few suspects that can be found from the original two.

One of these is Benny Maples, from Sandgem Town, one of Rowan's childhood friends. He claims to have been with Rowan during the time of the incident. Apparently, Rowan had fainted after her performance, and he was keeping an eye on her. However, there are no eye-witnesses of this, meaning that he could easily be the culprit or an accomplice. Additionally, he has an Espeon – as you can see in the picture – who knows Yawn.

"Then, there's the very peculiar Amy. She appears to have a connection with both of the main suspects. Furthermore, she was seen reading the letter directed to Rowan and suspiciously said, "She dug her own grave and made herself a suspect, all by herself. This sure saves me some time."

Additionally, she currently has a ponyta which could use Hypnosis. In summary, she seems like a rather suspicious character and not just an ordinary pokémon nursery owner.

"Lady A. – your cousin Anabelle Poirot –"

"Our cousin," Ricky interrupted.

Holmes glared before continuing, "YOUR cousin Anabelle was the contestant who left the letter for Rowan. She appears to be rather fond of Mr. Maples, to the point that she may be obsessed, and from the letter, it is evident that she sees Rowan as some kind of rival. This being said, there could be a chance that she is trying to incriminate Rowan, in order to get rid of the competition." Holmes sighed before continuing, " Teenage girls can sure be scary. The chance that she could go to such extremes..." she mumbled.

"The mysteriously famous Lady G. –her real identity unknown, although she is rumoured to have some connection with the gym leader – was seen talking with Lady F., together with Lady R and Amy. This connection makes her rather suspicious of a plan, and therefore she could be an accomplice of Lady F. especially as nothing is know of her background.

"And last but not least, Lady R...." Holmes stopped for a moment before muttering under her breath – a clear gesture that she was in deep thought – "Wait...could she be...? No that's impossible.... It's already been quite a few years since that happened... no, she couldn't have...? No, she would have at least told them...or at least him..."

"Is something the matter, Big Sis'?" Ricky asked in confusion.

Holmes just shook her head – her train of thoughts broken – before replying, "I just had some déjà vu from a Sinnoh case... Anyhow, her situation is similar to Lady G.'s that was formerly mentioned. All that is left is to question the suspects...although that shall wait until tomorrow, as you are here," She said as she made a face.

"What's that supposed to mean, Big Sis'?" Ricky exclaimed. "I was prepared to be serious and all! I'm not a kid anymore, you know?" He said pouting.

"I have my methods, and they are solo, so you can give up already." she sighed, "If I battle you, will you stick with your brother tomorrow?" Ricky just nodded cheerfully as

Holmes putted the documents away.
