Sharada turned to Joe as he sent out a pokemon, pleased that he was trying to help. Well, until she realised he had sent out Ditto. The situation could've gone a number of ways, the Cubone could've started attacking the raspberry flowing Ditto or it probably could just run away. Amazingly, it did neither. Sharada reached an arm out towards Joe, grasping onto his wrist to stop him from running off, "...Hold up. Look." she spoke softly.
At first, the Cubone seemed to be slightly confused as a perfect copy of himself stood in front of him. It watched the Ditto carefully and listened to the noises it made. Slowly, it lowered it's bone club and looked onwards in awe. It's eyes began to widen and suddenly it began to chuckle to itself. It seemed as if the jokey Ditto was cheering up the Cubone with it's funny noises. Sharada soon realised the situation and immediatly let go of Joe and reached for her bag, swiftly pulling out a pokeball, "A Cubone would be perfect for my team..."
With a thrust of her arm, Sharada sent the Pokeball flying forwards, hitting the Cubone unexpectedly. A red light engulfed the pokemon and sucked it inside. But now was the moment of truth. The group fell silent and watched eagerly as the pokeball began to sway from side to side gently. Until... ping. With a cheerful grin, Sharada bounced happily towards the pokeball and lifted it up with her fingertips. She also gave Ditto a quick pat before looking to Joe and giving him a wink, "Heehee! Thanks for the distraction!" She gazed down to the pokeball in her hand and gave it a quick kiss, "Cubone's are adorable! I'm not letting this moment pass me by."

Joey and his now Cubone metamorphosed Ditto both blinked at Sharada in a blank manner almost unaware of what Sharada had just done. Joe's face slowly looked to Ditto and then back to Sharada as he opened his mouth to say something. "...You... Didn't just... Catch that Cubone did you...?" He paused, almost coming to the realisation of the situation. "Wait, what?! That thing just clubbed you on the foot angrily! And you go and catch it?!" Joey rubbed his forehead and turned just as he was adjusting his bandanna to find his Ditto was now transformed into him and was mimicking him almost perfectly. "Will you quit it, already?!" The Ditto-Joey closed his eyes to avoid Joey's yelling.
Joey turned back to Sharada and looked at her concernedly. "Is your foot okay...? We ought to get you somewhere fast." He paused and looked down. It seemed her foot wasn't too badly hurt. Despite knowing this he grinned and a small glint appeared in his eye. In one fell swooping motion, he knelt down slightly and swept Sharada off her feet and looked around hurriedly for a place to make sure she was okay. Ditto-Joey ran in circles around them and followed them as they dashed off. "If I drop you off at a Pokemon Centre I am sure they can examine you." He raced around the corner and darted straight towards one.

As Sharada safetly secured Cubone into her bag with her other pokemon, she turned back to Joe and his Ditto to see them both looking rather shocked. She let out a chuckle before waggling her finger towards him, "It hit my foot? And? I have endured more in the past." She began to gently tap her foot against the ground, rolling it slightly from side to side. There was a slight pain, but she was still able to walk, "See? I'm fiiii-iiii-IIIIINE!"
She let out a squeal as she felt herself being lifted into the air. Lifting an arm, she thumped Joe on top of his head and glared at him, "Hey hey! Whats the big deal?! I said I am fine!" Though she soon found herself gripping onto Joe's shoulders as he began to run down the path.

Joey thundered past another bend in the road and it wasn't long before they were outside of the Pokemon Centre. "At least have it checked out. Blows from a Cubone can smash whole rocks! Trust me, I saw it on one of Oak's TV Pokemon documentaries... Although... It might need a certain move to do that..." Joey trailed off and turned as Ditto-Joey tapped him on the shoulder and pointed to the fact Joey was standing there like a lemon with Sharada still scooped up in his arms. "Ah! What am I doing..." He gently knelt down and allowed Sharada to step on to her own two feet. "There you go. Wait-! Hold on a sec." He stood up and put one of her arms around him. "Rest on me and i'll take you in." Ditto-Joey saw what Joe did and decided to mimic him and do the same. He picked up Sharada's other arm and together they acted as support for Sharada to move on.
"Alright, let's get you in and examined." They began moving forward but froze as their was a sudden gasp not too far off from where they were standing. "HOLD IT YOU!" A night patrol officer stepped out of the darkness with his nightstick and torch pointed at the three. "Just what do you think you're doing with that young lady?! Are you trying to kidnap her?!" Joey flinched and tried to explain the situation. "No, no, no! This isn't what it looks like. A Cubone clubbed her foot and-" Joey tried to finish but the officer's light settled on Ditto-Joey. "WHAT IN THE-?!" Joey turned to see what he was making a commotion about and slapped his forehead in realisation. "Oh great...!" The officer's torch darted back to Joey's face and the officer continued speaking. "I thought you looked familiar. You're that trainer who's been reported to the authorities for theft of Pokemon!" He stepped forward slightly and raised his voice. "So there are two of you! Twins! Who would have thought it."
He reached for his whistle and blew it sharply. Joey sighed and looked to Sharada. "This ALWAYS happens. Tell you what, me and Ditto will split and i'll meet up with some other time. I have to lose the trail of these officers." Ditto-Joey looked to Joey and wondered how they were going to escape as the distant thundering of many boots was now starting to encircle them, with police officers appearing from every alleyway and space in the road available. In unison they cried "HOLD IT!" Joey grumbled to himself but suddenly let out a victorious bout of laughter. "You want me? To hold it? Are you crazy or something?" Joey stood in front of Sharada with their backs up against the Pokemon Centre. Only Sharada could see Joey had concealed a Pokeball in his hand was waiting for his chance to unleash it.

A sigh of relief escaped Sharada's lips as she spotted the Pokemon Center coming into view. In the corner of her eye, she looked at Joe, unsure if he was seriously worrying about her or if this was just another diversion to try and steal one of her pokemon. Either way, they had skidded to a halt and after a short moment of awkwardness, she felt herself being safetly placed back onto the floor, "...Phew. Finally. You shouldn't go around picking up girls like that Joey..." she trailed off but for some reason, couldn't help but smile at him, "...Though I guess you are stronger than you look, hm?"
She was about to take a step into the Pokemon Center when two tugs at both of her arms caught her attention. Both Joe and Ditto-Joe were trying to support her, but it was slightly uncomfortable since both of them were much taller than her, her toes were barely touching the floor. She looked towards Ditto-Joe, who she thought was actually Joe and sighed softly, "It's a good thing it's night time. If people were around right now, you pair would look even stranger..." She patted his shoulder softly, which was when she realised that she was talking to the wrong Joe. She grimaced and turned her head the other way, letting out an awkward laugh.
The trio were just about to enter the Pokemon Center when Sharada too, heard the noise of the Police officer. With Joe, she backed up against the wall of the building and watched the pair argue. A little part of her felt guilty for making him linger behind for so long, but then again, he was a thief so he somewhat deserved it. As more police began to appear, surrounding the pair, something in Joe's hand caught her eye. A Pokeball? She quickly gazed up to Joe and gave him an understanding nod, "I... guess we could meet up again? Perhaps in that really big city a few Routes away! I'm sure they have really tasty milkshakes there!~"
A slightly saddend look crossed her face as she soon realised Joe would be running off again. Though she hated him for being a thief, she liked him for being a friend. She looked to Joe, but instead took a step towards Ditto-Joe and gave it a squeeze, "If we had more time, I would give you my Pokegear number, but for now... Seeya around!"

Joey and Ditto-Joey nodded almost simultaneously to Sharada's offer of giving him her Pokemon number but the real Joey grinned to himself. "A little present." He took a scrap of paper out of his pocket and covertly handed it to her. He focused back on the officers who were now leering at them, cautiously pre-empting what their next move would be. Joey sighed and decided to make the next move himself. "Seriously. Every time I hang out with someone the police are always hot on my trail." He threw his Pokeball quickly to the ground, unleashing Koffing, who whizzed around on the spot cheerfully. "Koffing! Smokescreen so we can make an hasty exit!" Koffing nodded knowingly and had already began inhaling oxygen into his body and began expanding rapidly.
Joey looked to Sharada for a split second and gave her a warning. "Might wanna cover your mouth. Koffing's smokescreen can be pretty noxious sometimes." He grinned and watched as Koffing's Smokescreen poured in, preventing all visibility in their radius. "Me? I'm used to it." The thick smoke covered the entire area now and before long the many pattering of feet could be heard slamming against the floor in confusion to try and catch Joe. Joey's heavier footsteps because of his boots could be heard dashing off into another direction. He yelled as he was in the clear to the officers. "Smell ya later!" He darted off again and made his way down an alleyway.
Sharada was now thick deep in Smokescreen gas and despite not being able to see anything around her, felt the strange presence of someone still being next to her. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her and gave her a hug. The mystery hugging person soon stopped and small steps could be heard moving away. As the smoke began to fade away and the coughing of the police officers could be heard there appeared to be no one next to her. The police officers all cursed out in unison and began in hot pursuit of Joey. However, an oddly placed drain cover soon began moving into a puddle of ooze and waved to Sharada as it suddenly disappeared into a drain cover beneath it.
