However, Growlithe sniffed out the trail of Voltorb before it met the juggler and got mistaken for a Pokeball. He found two or three of the Deyo flowers (sorry Ventus) and another small meteor crater, this one fresher than the first (though still a few hundred years old). This, his nose says, is where Voltorb was nesting.
According to the Pokedex, Mankey and Primeape are common enough on Mt. Molten, but they are not supposed to venture down into town. Pokedex agrees that Staryu and Ralts were out of place, and maybe Voltorb.
If this wasn't a social game involving a group, I'd literally hare off on a one-man crusade to find and capture that Voltorb, since seriously leaving a bomb ball which has already hurt someone in a public area chafes both character and player.
I don't think that would be helpful at all the metaplot though.
Handwavium?
