The sweater clad man visibly brightens as you enlighten him about the healing properties of G-Rapidashes, a small but earnest smile growing bit by bit as you went on.
"R-eally? Truly? T-then..."
Your immediate questions causes him to jump a bit, looking caught off guard and looking vaguely guilty for a moment....before slowly nodding, reserved and timid once more.
"Y-y-y..... *Deep breath, Sighing* ....Yes. My....daughter. She's...she's sick. Badly so. Caught something a month ago. Nothing...nothing has worked in treating her. Not regular medicine, special treatments, experimental therapy....nothing. My daughter, my precious Saph...she's...she's....!"
The man looks to be on the verge of tears, before he takes a shuddering breath in and tries to stabilize.
"...M-magic....P-Pokemon H-Healing M-Magic....it is the only thing I haven't tried left...! I read up on all it I could, and learnt a bit about unicorns, and when I saw you performing while I was searching for anything...."
Suddenly, the fairly distraught man reaches forward to grip your hand *Flips coin* your 'natural' one, looking at you with such undisguised earnestness and desperation it was heartbreaking even for stand-offish man like you.
"P-Please, help me good Magi! I'll....I'll give you anything I can, if you can....if you can cure my daughter!! Please, oh please....!"
In the background, you notice a shift in the crowds - a lot of people were suddenly checking their phones or Dexes, and almost all of them looked startled by what they're reading. Already some were heading towards the central plaza of the department store - you could vaguely pick up something about a sudden store-wide announcement about to take place. The nervous man in front of you was far too distracted to pay attention to such things, but not you - dividing your focus is something you're quite adept at, at least when it comes to non-research matters such as fieldwork or spellcasting. Hmm....?

Your sea drake looks somewhat aloof at your blatant flattery, but you could tell she was vaguely intrigued despite herself. Praise from land dwellers attempting to mimic the prowess of Water Pokemon was questionably desirable at best, but the chance to show off was awfully appealing...
Before you could decide anything, however, a change went through the atmosphere of the place. Swimmers , competitors, spectators, and others started leave the area, being sheparded by what appeared to be the event officials and other important looking figures. A great deal of people looked confused, and some of them were upset at this - everyone, one and all, was surprised.
Soon, one of these official came up to you - though he did pause at seeing your Dragon until you let them know it was okay to approach - and gave you a polite bow, a deeply worried look etched into their face.
"Uh....I'm sorry to say, but today's competition has been canceled....due to...."
They shake their head.
".....Something truly horrendous. We've only now received word about it, and are being updated on how things are proceeding about it...but what we've heard so far? It's bad. All of us - the officials - will share more details once we've gathered everyone up. Of course if you want to leave for elsewhere we won't stop you, but....*Shakes head* I think as a Trainer you'd want to hear about it...."

For the sake of brevity, time, and just to get things moving, the following Encounter of Iron's and Mika's have be Resolved as thus:
* Vern managed to catch Palossand without a hitch or anymore damage to his Mons; investigating it's former resting ground....he finds the skeleton of a young child there. The person that was running toward them turns out to be a life guard/coast guard type Trainer, who came running once he caught wind of your tangoing with such a dangerous and notorious beach menace. He's surprised but relieved you managed to handle things well by yourself, though the grim discovery makes his mood go severe. He offers to take it off your hands for $2500 Poke, citing such Dangerous Pokemon often have Bounties on them, and furthermore the family of this child - once their identity is discovered - would most likely want to get their hands on this critter to enact justice themselves. In the end the choice is yours.
* For Darren, he Wins his match up in a clean sweep, gaining 5 XP for himself and his Pokemon. The guy refuses to give you any Poke for thrashing him, storming off in an embarrassed rage, his girlfriend rushing off after him after shooting you an apologetic and harried look.
Both of you then see and hear a commotion going on in your respective areas, before getting word of a public announcement about to take place - Vern's at a pier near the beach he's at, and back in the bar Darren was just in. Oh my....

Dodger was casually slouching as he watches you two casually banter and share info, his groovy mood now back on track despite the previous unpleasantness of his feline amigo and the rather dour subject matter, a confident and receptive grin in place.
Then a loud and piercing *Eeeeeeeeeeeee!* resounded throughout the arena, it's tone quite unique as it was grating, like a cross between a Bug Buzz and Metal Sound that was stretched out.
Immediately the dandy man's face went Rock and Ice as he yanked out what appeared to be one slick and hi-tech phone - a extremely high end one, from what Seddi can tell from recent experience on the matter - took on look at the screen (which you couldn't see), and his expression twisted as if he had eaten something sour and terrible.
"Fuck."
He turns toward the park's exit and nearly storms off, before remember you two were there. A complicated look appeared for a second, as he was thinking about something, before with a decisive *Nod* he turned to face you, arms cross and utterly serious.
"That noise you heard? That was an Emergency Alert, straight from the Government. Something big and bad has happened. I'm planning on heading on over and trying to help sort things out. Between me and the other on call Trainers, suits, and police we should have things covered....but you two are free to join me if you wish. I'll explain everything on the way. If you got other plans, though, don't let this hold you up - things will be taken care of, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner - we really don't want trouble lingering around with what we're planning to do soon, *Sighs....* "

Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
