Uh oh.
"Why izzat glowing?" the little boy asked in a timid voice, pointing up ahead from his perch on Puddle's back. Adrian turned and swore under his breath.
"Ah, that is a voltorb," Adrian said, look at the clodsire happily playing ponyta-ride for the kiddo. Okay, no ground type moves right now. He pulled out a ball and send out Guardian, one of his trustiest IPF regulars. The Gallade quickly assumed an alert, protective stance once summon and looked back behind him at Adrian and the boy. "Guardian, I need you to keep that Voltorb busy and away from us. Sacred sword!"
With that, he started to try to guide the boy AWAY from the battle so nobody got hurt by a literal BOMB. Puddles sang cheerfully to himself as he waddled along and Sam cheered up, forgetting about the scary Voltorb in favor of babbling along to clodsire's happy noises. He giggled when the clodsire shimmied and made the ride extra fun. Clearly, Puddles was enjoying this babysitting gig. He was always a laid back pokemon, so keeping the kiddo calm was right in his wheelhouse. Battling was fine and all, but he'd rather leave that to more excitable pokemon like Ace or Guardian or Heimdal or Zoro.
He wasn't a powerhouse. He wasn't punchy. He just kept his head cool under pressure and went with the flow. After all, life was less fun if you didn't slow down to eat roses, lay in mud puddles or roll around in the rain. Puddles could sense Adrian's tension as he ushered them along, glancing back over his shoulder repeatedly as they moved further down the tunnel. This voltorb had his human all riled up.
Guardian, thankfully, didn't need much guidance these days. No longer a fragile ralts or kirlia, he was perfectly capable of protecting himself and others. Striking a defensive pose, he approached the voltorb, <Cease your aggression at once or I will have no choice but to strike you down!> Which of course didn't disarm the situation. The voltorb primed itself for a fight and Guardian responded accordingly, meeting every attack with one of his own, striking out with powerful, sweeping blows. Of course, he'd have to be careful...making contact with electric types often resulted in sudden jolts that froze up the muscles and left you paralyzed. But he couldn't fixate on that little possible concern right now. —Word Count: 401 (+400) | OOC:

Guardian handled that voltob like a pro, knocking it out of the park like a pro baseball player. Adrian kept Sam distracted and urged Puddles to waddle faster. Fortunately, the problem was swiftly handled and he could breathe easier. Okay...
"So, Sam, now that you have had a snack...can you tell me about your parents. What they look like?" he said, trying once again to get some more answers.
"...MMm mama pretty," the boy said. "Daddy says so."
"Uh huh. What color is her hair? Is it brown like yours?"
"I got gamma's hair." Sam said. Still not helpful. "I like gamma. Gamma gimmie cookies an' is nice and colors with me." This rambling side story was also as unhelpful as the kiddo's previous one-word answers. "Pawpaw dun like to color. He likes beer." Adrian almost snorted at that. Ah, from the mouth of babes, as they say. "He likes beer lots. He says 'I love beer'. And Gamma hits him with the 'paper." Lovely.
"Do...you live with your Gamma and Pawpaw?" Maybe he had been asking the wrong questions before? "Were they who were with you before you got lost?"
Sam shook his head, "No."
"Who were you with?"
"Sissy."
"Was...your sissy with your parents?"
Sam nodded, then, "Mama, um...Went into a store and said stay with sissy!" So the kid was here with parents, but had been with his sister before he got lost. Okay. Good.
"How did you get lost from your sissy?"
"Ummmm. I dunno?" Sam said. "Sissy there an' then Sissy not. I looked for her an' then sparkies and...dirty now." He hummed and rocked a bit, bumping his heels on Puddle's sides, as if urging a ponyta forward into a canter.
"Do you remember what kind of store your mom went into? What your sister was wearing?"
"...Sissy likes pink."
"Was she wearing pink?"
"I dunno."
Arceus save him.
"And your mom?"
"Mama like yellow 'cuz sunflowers are her favorite," Sam stated.
"What store did she go into," Adrian repeated helplessly.
"Uuuuuhhh, ladies with no heads store."
What kind of...wait. Mannequins. "A clothing store? Were the headless ladies wearing pretty clothes?"
"Yeah! Mama, um, liked the one with flowers."
Finally! They were getting somewhere. He was looking for a clothing store selling an outfit with flowers in the front window. Perfect. Now, where to find that place. Did the underground tunnels even have such a place? Adrian kept up his hunt, looking around for shops and to see if ANY of them were selling clothes that could match Sam's description.

Oh no. Not AGAIN. Did he disturb a nest of these things? Did Voltorb's have nests? Looking around, he saw some people and a line of shops. Nobody looked distressed, but perhaps the boy's family hadn't noticed he was missing yet...
"Okay, Sam, you and Puddles are going to go look at those shops right over there. Tell me if you see one with no-head ladies wearing flowers, okay?" He said, patting the kid and urging the Clodsire to waddle his happy self AWAY from the source of danger.
Once the boy was clear of the danger zone, Adrian sent out his trusty Zoro to help deal with this situation. The bull emerged with a bellow, head thrashing as he quickly accessed the situation. Oh? What was going on? What did he need to trample? Adrian pointed down the tunnel at the happily rolling voltorb that looked ready to spark up and cause drama.
"Please take care of that," he said in a strained voice. "Before it kills us all by blowing up."
Zoro thrashed his head momentarily before barging towards his target. Hooves clattered on the concrete and tile below. Adrian noticed some people in the distance turn their attention to them, curious about what was happening. Oh, how interesting. A battle. Nobody would think there was anything amiss, as wild pokemon were all over these tunnels and trainers frequently engaged with them. They had no idea that the trainer in question was stressed out about said wild pokemon hurting the lost kid in his care, so was rushing to ensure this battle ended as swiftly as possible.
This was good training, at least. Because Zoro needed to be stronger for the gym. Adrian wasn't sure how Freya had zoomed past him, but given her more recent texts, it seemed like the teddiursa he had bred was a big part of her big plan. He'd need to touch base with her after her gym battle and see Teddi in action. If she was as impressive as Freya claimed, then it would be a good idea to breed another teddiursa or two with those same genes. Sure, training one from an egg would take time (again) but even he knew that strong pokemon played a role in getting badges and earning a respectable reputation as a breeder.
His lapsing attention snapped back to the battle. Zoro was charging down the voltorb, looking to knock it aside with his horns until it was hit out of the park. —Word Count: 417 (+400) | OOC:

BAM!
Out of the park the voltorb went. Those swift stars did nothing! Zoro snorted and pawed at the ground, ready to charge at anything else that got too close. Without an immediate foe, he calmed a bit and allowed Adrian to return him to his ball. That done, he looked over to see Sam urging Clodsire to go faster! It sorta worked. Puddles shuffled a touch faster before ending up at ramp. With a heave and a flop, he waddled and bumbled his way up that slight slope like a beached whale, garnering some attention from amused trainers.
Sam had fun and cheered him on. This was like a ponyta ride but way less high up and scary!
Once Puddles cleared the terrifying obstacle of a slight slope upwards, he shuffled his way past the store fronts. Sam did look at the windows. Headless ladies with flower dresses... he was looking for— "Oooh, cho'late! I want snack!" he babbled. Puddles agreed with him. A snack did sound good! He wandered towards a door and pressed his face against it. Puuuuuush.
The bell jingled and the clodsire pushed his head into the store. A couple of customers looked their direction and the owner frowned, a touch annoyed by what appeared to be some sort of elaborate prank. Before he could shoo them off, Adrian hurried their way, still hauling the bike beside him, and stopped outside, panting a bit. "Sorry! Ah, Sam, do you see your mom or dad or sissy in here?" he asked.
"No. Snack!" he pointed at the counter where the treats were located.
Oh. Okay. Uh. Adrian forked over a few bucks for a sweet and then ushered the pair AWAY from the nice citizens. Sam was given the treat and soon they were back to their exploration. "Now, let's see...clothing store... clothing store." He peered into a few store fronts, then. "Ah, here's one that might be close." He went inside, with Sam and Puddles, to start asking around for information. Sam didn't seem to invested in finding his family now, fully occupied by his snack and Puddles.
Why would he wanna go home while he was having such a grand adventure?
Without much of a description, all he could go off of was if there was a lady looking for a missing child. But when the shop owner shook his head, Adrian knew he hit a dead end. Okay. They had to keep looking. Time to find another headless lady store. —Word Count: 417 (+400) | OOC:

As they left the store, another magnemite approached, getting all sparky. Without any way of communicating, there was no telling what it wanted. All Adrian know for certain was that it was in his face suddenly, and he didn't want it to be. Being so close to people and the shops, it didn't feel like a good idea to summon a literal bull to potentially cause collateral damage, so he decided to be a little more tactful. "Okay, you're up meditite. Show me what you can do," he called out, tossing the ball.
The little fighting-psychic type wasn't exactly sure about this human that had been trying to get into its good graces for the better part of a season, but he didn't exactly DISLIKE Adrian. He was ambivalent. And since being caught, he did get stronger... So after giving the human a long, careful look, he nodded, agreeing to this arrangement. Yes. He would go along with this whole...battle. No fuss needed.
"Use force palm. Bat it away so that it doesn't hurt anyone," he instructed.
Meditite narrowed his eyes and leapt up, attempting to do as he was instructed, swinging at his foe with open palm strikes as Adrian followed after Puddles and Sam.
Oh! Up ahead, another store selling women's clothes. Perfect. They could check there for Sam's mother and sister. —Word Count: 000 | OOC:

Magnemite was totally caught off guard as Meditite managed to unleash a Force Palm before it could strike. The attack caused a massive amount of damage and though the magnet Pokemon avoided being knocked out all it could manage after the impact was a lowly Screech before the second Force Palm knocked it out. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5ani/meditite.gif) Meditite gained 3 levels and is now level 23.

Meditite successfully batted the wild pokemon out of the way, making sure it didn't hurt any people. Some did flinch when it screeched and glared at him, but there was only so much Adrian could do about that. At least it didn't start sparking and zap anyone! Once that situation was handled, he returned his pokemon and went back to following Sam on Clodsire, motioning to that store he spotted. Look. "Does that look like the flower dress you saw?" he asked, trying again to prompt the kid.
"I dunno," Sam replied, not even looking up. Puddle made a content sound as he continued to shuffle around.
Okay. OKAY. Just, keep it together Adrian.
As he went to check the store, he heard a startled scream. His head whipped around and some people were murmuring to each other about some wild pokemon chasing a lady down the tunnels. Yikes. Maybe the pokemom were just aggressive today? Adrian was going to let it go until Sam piped up.
"Oh, sounds like Sissy," he observed.
"What sounds like your sister?"
"Big yell."
Of course the screaming lady was his sister. Maybe.
"Well let's go find her then," Adrian said, putting on a smile as he ushered the lost child and Puddles towards the noise. —Word Count: 000 | OOC:

Oh great. Blocking the hallway that they heard the screaming down was another magnemite. Clearly this place had a problem. Maybe the electrical was going wonky? Shouldn't there be more than magnemite and voltorb in these tunnels?
Whatever.
Wanting to keep moving fast, he sent out meditite again, "Use force palm!" And then he kept moving, trying to go past the floating pokemon without getting zapped. He kept himself between the kid and the wild pokemon and tried to usher Puddles to waddle FASTER PLEASE.
Meditite looked over at the floating magnet curiously, but decided to just listen to the human. His trainer was in such a hurry for some reason. Might as well not focus too hard on that with another of these things to punch out. Meditite ran forward and got slapping away to send that pokemon floating in the opposite direction.
