Sarah crossed her arms and huffed, ignoring the guard for a moment, "You people have a gambling problem!" Then turned to the guard, "well you losers did steal my pokemon then cart him and all the other stolen pokemon off in a truck about 20 minutes ago. You can imagine why I'm not happy." She turned on her heel and headed out, spotting the power switch and changing direction long enough to switch it off, resulting in a loud 'NO!' from the gamblers. Happy with the result she headed to the exit.

[[Hello, this is Seiden, replying from side because I do not want to rollover my account for today. I am really sorry for having been so long to reply again ;___;]]

The guard raised an eyebrow, genuinly wondering what she may be talking about. He was not able to react in time when she ran to the switch, but managed to leap at her before she could reach the exit. Being almost twice the girl's size, he lift her up with little effort, bringing her back to a corner of the building. Holding her firmly, he gazed at her with an agressive look and shouted at her :
"Seriously, what' ya' fuckin' problem?! Don't you kid have better to do?!"

While the guard was taking care of the annoyer, the coin seller went from behind the counter to the middle of the room, talking to the player with a calm but strong voice :
"The whole direction of the Casino appologises for the inconvenience caused by some unexpected intruder. We will regulate the situation as soon as possible. Please do not worry."
Pleased by these words, some players left out an "aaaah!" of satisfaction, while some others kept mumbling for themselves. However, a young man with short spiky hairs raised his voice : "So, what is the girl talking about?"
The coin seller replied with his same calm voice, not anxious at all about the player's opinion : "I have no idea, honestly. Probably some kind of teenager game or challenge. Do not mind this kind."
The player did not insist, looking back at his off machine.

During all of the events, Wes had made sure to stay unoticied, looking like a player that was just about to choose a gambling machine when the girl bursted in. He calmly observed the whole room, walking nonchalent from one side to another, looking uninterested not to catch anyone's attention. While the guard was focused on Sarah and the coin seller was occupied reassuring the players, he managed to slip into the back room behind the counter. He may have thought of Sarah's move as a stupid one at first, prefering not to catch the ennemi's attention to be able to investigate without being stopped, but he ended up thinking she may have been really usefull this time. He was not sure whether she deliberatly made diversion to allow him to enter unotified or if she just acted directed by her emotions and instant feelings, but he would definetely make profit of the situation.

(It's okay, I've been busy the last few days and now I'm sick so anything that requires much effort is on hold.)

Sarah huffed, "How would you feel if someone stole your pokemon? Though I guess you'er not high enough on the totem of power to know anything about that." She looked around, spotting a man walking around a bit too close to the customers, taking advantage of the confusion to try and snatch some pokemon. She waited until he grabbed a patron's pokeball before shouting at him. "That guy's stealing pokemon!"

The man who was a hair's width from having his pokemon taken turned in surprise, "What do you think you're doing?! Give that back!"

The guard started to wonder if the girl was seriously believing in what she was saying, but still would not consider the idea that she may be true. He changed his mind about her and was about to speak her in a friendly way, hoping to make her understand she was having false ideas about the casino, when she shouted again. He quickly turned his eyes toward the direction she was looking at and noticed what was happening. He gritted his teeth, understanding he may have been wrong after all, and ran toward the man, catching his arm, shouting at him : "what are you doing?!"

Quite quickly, a wave of panic touched the gamers. Some stood up and ran away after having counted their pokeballs, some others were looking suspiciously at every other person in the room, while a last one was taking advantage of the panic to discreetly steal some coins. The coin seller was trying to calm down his players, being afraid of the economical damages the situations could cause to his business.

Still calm, Wes came back to Sarah, holding a somewhat big black bag that seemed to contain many balls. He addressed a small smile to the girl :
" Good diversion, girl. What's now? Would you like to question the seller or shall we let them at their fight?"

Sarah thought and shrugged, "Don't think the seller knows anything about it. Seems that the nasty sub-intention only applies to the grunts and the high ups. Not even the manager knows anything about this. Leaving now would be kinda suspicious and we'd end up the scapegoats and that would get us in a lot of trouble. We should wait until we're cleared, I can hear the sirens so the police will be here in a minute or so. Unfortunately that means the stolen pokemon from the base downstairs will be further and further. However, we could always go back in downstairs and pry an answer out of a grunt about where they're going."

Wes looked at the bag he was holding, then at the coin seller.
" Well, I'd rather think he is aware of what is happening, just the security guard doesn't. Casinos or such often are involved into some kind of traffic anyway. As for trouble, we can handle them. "

He grimaced when hearing the siren. He always hated this sound that was so often interrupting his activities. He can handle with police with no problem, but he is still rather unknown in Johto and would rather avoid make a bad name of himself.
" Ya know, the police may consider you were the troublemaker at first. We should go before they take the bag back."
Saying this, he headed for the door.

Sarah sighed, "Considering the police were probably called at some point during or after my little interruption of their gaming I wouldn't be surprised if I got carted off." She followed after him, knowing her grandfather could easily get her out of trouble but she'd rather not use that card unless it was a last resort. "And not to seem like a lost Poochyena but you're not getting rid of me until I have my Haunter back. After that I won't be as helpless."

Wes had a sarcastic smile, replying without even looking at the girl : "Don't worry, I love Poochyenas."
He regretted his words a bit after having said them, fearing the girl may interpret it as an invitation to follow him for longer. He already experienced this, having been followed for months by an helpless girl he stupidly saved, and ended up having to get rid of her in some immoral way... He was then legitimately hoping this one will not be as clingy. But for now, and for the time of this affair, he would accept her presence and help.

When they were a few dozens of meters away from the casino, and just after having seen the policemen running to the previous building, he stopped in the shadow of a tall building to open the bag, showing the Pokeballs inside.
"So, what we do with these?"

Sarah blinked at the bag of pokeballs, "Where'd you get those? Were they in the casino? I'm gonna say yes and guess that they were stolen." She picked up one of the pokeballs and let out what was inside. The pokemon that came out, a Phanpy, seemed confused for a moment before turning and glaring at the trainers before charging forward and headbutting Wes.

Wes had a light and discreet laugh seeing the girl's reaction :
"Were do you think they're from? Oh, actually, I dunno if they're stolen or if they're just the gambling prizes but who cares, stealing thieves is not steal-OUCH!"
His phrase was interrupted by a powerful impact in his legs, and the man was ejected onto the ground. The Phanpy may be small, it still have the power of a car.
"Damn you, boy!! We just saved ya!!"
He got back to his feet, grumbling, looking disapprovingly at the Pokemon that was scratching the ground, ready to charge again.

Sarah blinked and called it back before it could attack again. She stared at the pokeball before looking at Wes, "That's weird, seems like he was ready to fight anything and everything. Wonder what that's about.........Oh! I got some papers from the hideout, maybe those can tell us something." She put the Phanpy's pokeball back with the others then got the papers out of her bag, looking them over.

Wes was glad the girl caught the Pokemon back before it would break his leg, but he was to proud (or to stupid) to thanks her anyway. Instead, he just starred at the ball in her hand, grumbling some "uuh oh...". An idea had crossed his mind, but he would not accept it. Not here. Not them. No, maybe the Phampy was just angry. Or trained that way, probably.
"Well, ya know, some trainers only let their 'mons out for fight so this one may be used to see the sunlight only for battles."
Without any more consideration, Wes just took the papers from the girl's hands to read them.

Sarah huffed but said nothing about the papers, "But why would it attack you? No worth while trainer would make it seem okay for their pokemon to attack a human. And it seemed really angry about something. Not to mention those papers, there's some weird stuff in there and it doesn't sound good. I wonder if grandpa would know anything about this......I'll have to call him. We need to find a video phone."

((have you planed already what is written on the papers? If so, may you give me an idea about it, so that Wes can read it?))
