Heart dont like see Nathan like that. Heart himself already have his experience in feel powerless. He give Nathan a weak punch in his shoulder. "Hey, lets not loose hope my friend. Lets stay a little positive. Waiting its not a bad thing. This is also a good opportunity to discuss a few strategies and some combinations. Remember: You still owe me a battle when we return to our time. And believe me: The result gonna be different than last time we fough." Heart was trying to make Nathan a little more energetic. As much they did not get along so much well in the past, both Heart and Nathan now share a bond. Perhaps not so strong yet, but they share secrets of their past, and Nathan helped him to become a more confident person and grown as a human. Heart owe Nathan quite a lot, so helping him get better its the least he need to do.

"...I've not lost hope, it's just...*sigh*...you know what it's like, wanting to do something and just...not being able to...I bet Thrawn's Arcanine feels much the same way right now...his trainer's been kidnapped on his watch, after all..."

Nathan closes his eyes and sighs.

"...I just hope they get the ones responsible for all this...I don't want all this to go to waste..."

Heart dont like very much see his friend in such state. He make a face of think and then he find a way to make him better. "You know, there is something who always help me when I get worry or sad. A good joke to open a smile. Want to hear one? It might help you get better and light a bit of the mood." Heart also looks to Gallade almost asking with the gaze: Lend me a help here to help Nathan in his mood!

(...) After that question is answered, Terra's pretty much has nothing left to ask the weakly wizard (unless they bring up another interesting tidbit), and so finally gets back to their request for release with a definitive shake of his head.

"No. We can not release you. You have done bad, and are.......not sorry for it at all. Will do more bad things and worse if we let you go, so you are.....staying with us, until the police can.....take you away. That is that." (...)

(...) "Hey, screw you, man. I told you everything I could. The cops won't understand our cause, just like the League doesn't. Whatever."

Oh. Shiva was just about to carefully suggest that they can at least ponder about Geordie's request to set him and ONLY him free as some sort of thank-you for all the nice and juicy information he gave 'em, before Terra figuratively beat her in that by denying. She lets out a small and imprecible sigh while the glance she gave Geordie seemed to very very subtly whisper an 'I'm sorry for that'. It's quite a plot twist for her that this one Scimitar has initiated Shiva to maybe see their organisation - or to be more specific the EARTH Scimitars - in a little less subjective view and instead open again, but holy Reshiram shall scorch and noble Zekrom shall electrify her alive if that means that she has forgotten her spat with the guards at the WATER Scimitar Base. Shiva's still wondering whether there are Scims of the Fire and the Air as well.

However, a new snowstorm brews up and covers the thawing tundra that was Shiva's attitude with a fresh layer of white snow as Geordie doesn't react too well to Terra's refusal to set him free now. Primal Glaceon lowers his body and starts to growl lowly again, Master just has to give the word and he'll be happy~ to send a chilly and icy wind right into this Scim's face! No order comes from the natural fae enthusiast but she STARES at Geordie from above with crossed arms and an icy cold and unpleased look. "Be quiet. Don't curse, and please don't insult us." Her expression and voice softens up a bit as she continues. "But, thank you for all what you've told, your cooperation shall not be ignored. I will put in a good word for as the cops arrive."

That'll be all for now, she'll let the Scimitars under the watchful eyes of Terra and Spira + their Pokemon and heads off to follow her own business, hiding the Egg and planting the Apricorn Seedlings as already described. She'll be back right in time Officer Jenny and co. arrive. She'll be happy that a Ranger is among them!

About an hour after the unconscious Scims are tied up, the first of the police arrive. It's Officer Jenny and Ranger Axil from Teazel Valley, along with eight deputies spread among four patrol cars. They release overgrown Spinarak who wrap those Scimitars right up, they take pictures of the crime scene, and they take statements from each of you as a group. What are you telling the cops?

They also plan to bring back the Confused Pokemon in one of the League's Temporary Balls. It's easiest to catch them while they're still fainted, and they'll receive treatment in Teazel Valley. They can be used as evidence, plus they can easily be returned to their owners this way. Arcanine, however, is a little more difficult. Fortunately he's in good shape already thanks to the Potion and being revived. If you want to make a case for keeping Arcanine, now's the time to do it.

Terra has already described what has happened throughoutly and well enough, so Shiva doesn't really have anything to add to this. She will however tell the cops to "Please don't be TOO harsh and hard with them. Especially wih Geordie here *discreetly points to him, but so that he notices* He has shown himself coopoerative and answered any questions we've asked him. We're alright, everything has turned out okay, it could have been much worse. They've got reasons to act they way they are, and their motives aren't.... well, they aren't that miscreant. They use Pokemon too, just a little differently than we do, in a way that won't harm them. Have an open ear and mind to what they tell to defend themselves at least. That...will be all." She grows a bit meek once having asked this and chooses to muster the grass beneath her feet instead to further look at the cop.

With interest, respect and compassion she listens to and assists in everything that involved the still fainted brainwashed Pokemon, the relief to know that they'll be taken care of was very real. When it comes to Arcanine though, Shiva becomes timid and cuddles the noble fierly canine softly. "O...Officer, please, if it's okay - and only if you're fine with it too, Arcanine - may I keep a hold on this Pokemon for now? I'd be happy to return him personally to Detective Thrawn as well as making sure that he'll be okay until then. I spoke with the detective, I'd like to see him again, Ilike this Arcanine, he's so soft and kind despite being so big and fierce... You have a Temporary Ball I can use for him please?"

Gallade looks questioningly at Heart.  A joke?

Is it a good joke?

Gallade briefly nods to hopefully indicate to Heart that telling a joke might help if it's a good one.  Worth a shot, right?

"Alright then! Prepared yourself because this one gonna be good. Which pokemon could also be a pirate?"

Gallade shrugs.  Heart asked for his help, after all!

Well, I'm not sure I would say it's a good joke...

...but it gets a small chuckle from Nathan anyways.  It might be hard to tell exactly why, though...

"Well, I must confess that was not very good this one. But I have another one a little more better. This gonna be the last one, I promise."

Gallade looks expectantly at Heart.  (You can assume Gallade will help in a similar fashion again)
