The dustox tensed as Smokey spoke and at first it pressed itself against the trunk as if that would make her not-see it again. Smokey wondered if it hoped she lost interest if it didn't move, she smirked to herself, she was not a predator who needed movement to stay focused.
Smokey didn't let it affect her as she stayed in her sitting position and pretended to enjoy the weather. As she didn't show any signs of aggression the dustox's curiosity got the better of it. "Are.. aren't you a part of the contest?" It asked hesitantly and Smokey nodded without changing position. "We are, but look at my old trainer. She participates to find a pokemon to her granddaugther, she has found one she thinks is small and cute as a gift, do you really think she wants to get another one then?" She wasn't lying, just not saying the whole truth. The dustox's wings drooped a bit for a moment, even though it didn't want to get captured by some random trainer who just wanted to win a prize, it couldn't help but feeling rejected.
Something hit against the tree and disappeared into the grass below it. Both Smokey and the moth jumped up and looked around, Astrid was looking at them but then returned to her conversation with the other trainer. Smokey glared at her.
The dustox was fluttering around nervously and Smokey quickly spoke up to avoid it running away, "I'm so sorry, I should have warned you. She thinks all pokemon likes to play so she sometimes she throws a ball in the expectations that we will run after it." She shook her head while the moth looked skeptically at her.
"I know it sounds weird, but I'm just her pet normally, and her protector. I had to get her to throw the sports ball instead of the playball when we found the one she wanted to catch. She thought she could just befriend it or something." The dustox yawned even though it still looked suspiciously at her. Smokey chattered on and make up some story of her life with the old woman, right until the moth couldn't fight it any longer and slumped down, fast asleep.
"Hippo!" Smokey called demanding and looked at Astrid, it was now or never.
Astrid was chewing the woman's ears off in the meantime, not letting the other get a word in and dragging out the time. She felt a pang of guilt and really hoped this woman was her target, otherwise she was robbing another contestant of their catch!
"Oh look! There is one!" Astrid exclaimed cheerfully and pointed at a sewaddle who came calmly crawling, the woman looked anything but pleased, but forced a smile and agreed that is was a nice one.
She gestured for the gothita to focus on it, the psychic pokemon, who had been standing expressionlessly at her side, sent her a strange look before doing as ordered.
Smokey's call reached Astrid, and she turned to see the dustox slumbering away on the ground. Perfect, two tasks done at once, couldn't be better! She looped a ball at it.

Astrid looped another sport ball at the dustox.. and once again somehow managed to miss it. Smokey stared at her furiously, how could she be so inept! This was her most important task as a trainer, and she failed it miserably. Astrid glanced down and was surprised to see the dustox still slumbering on the ground, had it somehow popped out of the pokeball sleeping? She had been too busy keeping an eye on the other woman to pay this part of her task much attention, now she walked over and tapped the sleeping bug with the sports ball, and this time it stayed inside.
She let out the other bug she had caught, it had just been a placeholder.
The old woman watched the other woman having a quick battle and then catch the sewaddle which had appeared.
"Well, it was nice chatting with you, I'll better head back and see if I win with this one!" The stranger said and Astrid looked disappointed as if she wanted to chat more with her.
"Yes, I understand. My uncle was always like that as well, always he had places to go and never slowed down! My mom once said..." Astrid started to chat but this time the woman clenched her jaw and cut through, "I really have to go! Bye!" And she swiftly walked back towards the entrance.
"Well, she could just have said so!" Astrid mumbled, loud enough for the other woman to hear. "It is good you stick Smokey, some knows what loyalty is," She said loudly while the hippopotas looked tiredly at her, she only stayed around since she had been ordered to.
"We got what we were looking for, but I would very much want to make a final check of this great place you have found," Astrid said cheerfully to Smokey who lightened up. "Potas!" She agreed and stomped in between the trees as she began searching, apparently there were pokemon here as well, even if they hid better.
Astrid looked after her and then glanced around to make sure no one were within hearing range, Smokey included. She flipped out her collar where a little transmitter was hidden, she clicked it to activate it.
"Lindegaard here, potential suspect moving towards the entrance," she gave a quick description of the woman and her pokemon, as well as the clues with the tied up plastic and very empty trashcan.
She got a simple confirmation back and she followed Smokey in to make sure the hippopotas didn't destroy any clues, but the ground type had at least moved in a bit of a different direction, which made sense since they had just battled pokemon here.

Something was hiding behind a sharply cut little hedge, too tight for pokemon to hide inside, but Smokey noticed it right away. It gave off several small light flashes from some spots on its body, so it really wasn't hiding very well.
The hippopotas turned back to Astrid and managed to lead her around the hedge and take a look at the pokemon, without attracting too much of its attention. Astrid checked the paper and gave Smokey the go to chase this one off if she wanted to, or they could just head back.
The ground type instantly trotted towards the spotted pokemon, while none of these pokemon really gave her any real challenge a battle was a battle, and she wanted to get all she could as it looked like Lei wasn't going to use her beside this for the time being. If she evolved she might!
Smokey opened her mouth wide as she got closer, the dottler turned half way towards her and didn't look surprised at all that she was there.
When Smokey looked occupied, Astrid began to casually search the area to see if there were any easy to see clues of any packaged being hidden or thrown, or signs of someone else waiting here, although Astrid would find that weird. It could also have given them other problems as no one other than participants in the competition were allowed in the park while it took place.
The old woman was not a skilled researcher though, her time at the police before retiring had been as a secretary for the IPF, she knew what to look for, but not the finer skills of it.

Dottler seemed like it almost withdrew even more into its shell, almost like it was a tortoise. Smokey didn't care, her mouth was big and she could reach around it no problem. She grabbed it and simply threw it away, it rolled over the ground and lay still, the hippopotas took that as she had won the so called battle and returned to Astrid.
It was sooner than the old woman had expected so she had to cut her investigations short.
"How quick you are my dear!" Astrid praised her and then counted on her fingers, "that was the last one we could battle, so we better start getting back to the entrance. I hope it is a good catch we have made," she chatted to the hippo as they started to walk back.
Halfway there, they encountered a couple of uniformed officers who was going in the opposite direction with no hurry. Both Astrid and Smokey looked at them with interest, they were not a common sight here.
"Time is almost up Ma'am, it's time to head back," one of them said as they passed each other.
"Oh I know officer! We are heading there now, but thank you," Astrid answered and they nodded politely to her as they continued. Astrid knew she would probably never learn what the result would be of her little mission, but it looked like her little information had been important enough that they sent someone else in to check it out thoroughly. Not that they knew she was the one giving the info as she was undercover, but they would have time to check the area better than she had.
Astrid's best guess was that that the woman was part in smugling something, drugs perhaps, or something else which was small, and had picked up a "package" from the trashcan left there for her, and was supposed to bring it out without anyone noticing by pretending to be a contestant.
Astrid saw the other woman in the entrance hall, and here her nervousness wasn't so much out of place as most of the gathered trainers were fidgeting as they were waiting to see how good they were placing. The other woman spotted her and quickly hid in the crowd to avoid getting caught in Astrid's neverending chatting.
The old lady pretending she didn't see her as she handed in her catch to get it evaluated and then she waited at the side with Smokey.
"Thank you very much for your help today, Smokey. It was fun. You were really great, and all we accomplished is all because of you." Astrid said kindly, Smokey basked in the praise, she agreed with every single word that was said.
