Zorua's P.O.V (Well, ain't this new?)

The smoke was clearing. 'Human! Where are you?' I was frantically search around for her. Around where she stood her bag was on the floor, alone. See was nowhere to be seen. I barked at Herdier, 'Dog, get Dummies attention!'
'Zorua, ya may be my friend but ya're a lazy pokemon.' But he did what I asked anyway.
"Hm? What is it boy?" Dummy (Hilbert) asked Herdier, who kept motioning to the bag and me, but he was too busy listening to the others.
'And this is why I don't like you Dummy!' I growled lowly. I went over to Humans bag and clicked the Fledglings pokeball with my paw. He appeared in front of me, still asleep. 'Oh for... Get up!' I barked loudly, scaring him awake.
'Comrade, I'm awake! I'm up! I'm... Miss Zorua, where is our Comrade?' Rufflet questioned.
'Gone, taken. Now I need someone to get the Dummies attention, he's to dense to realise what's happened.' Fledgling caught on quite quickly and started stealing Dummies hat.

"Alright, (Y/n), tell them to stop." By the looks of it he was surprised by the lack of response. "(Y/n)?" He finally turned around to just see her bag. "Where is she? Zorua? Aren't you usually with her?"
'Oh, give the boy a prize! Now help me find her!' I angrily yip at him. He tilts his head, but then shakes it off.
"She probably just ran off, she usually does that when Porkma is around." 'What? I swear to Arceus I'll kill him.'
'I have an idea!' The dog barked. 'Use yar illusions to demonstrate the things ya saw.' I pondered it for a second. 'A good idea, but can I do it? Probably not from long.' I nod just trying to psyche myself up. I prepare an illusion, hoping this will help everyone see the severity of the situation.
'Fledgl-ling, get D-dummies at-tention again!' I strain out, this is harder than it looks. Rufflet starts attacking Hills hat again.
"What?!" He turns out of frustration, but when he does, he sees my illusions.

He saw (Y/n), frozen in fear. "Where are you, thief? I know you're around here somewhere." He heard what I did. "Found you!" Saw what I did. A hand grabbing her from behind, and another on her mouth muffling a scream. I was knocked off her shoulder and lost sight of her. My illusions faded. I was left out of energy, and to be honest, I could've collapsed but I refused to. Looking up weakly at the Dummy, all I saw from him was fear for his friend and anger for not listening to her.
'Trust me, I'm guilty to.' I weakly barked. One of my legs buckled underneath me and I fell to the floor. Everything was spinning before it went black. '... My first time feinting... Not because of a fight, but me... Over exerting myself for my Human...'

Hilbert's P.O.V

'Why the hell didn't I listen to her?' My blood boiled at my own selfishness. 'She was taken, and it was my fault!' When I looked down at Zorua, I saw that she wasn't standing. I rushed over to the small pokemon, she was breathing softly. "Poor thing, you look exhausted." I whispered to Zorua, I whipped my head around to the others. "We'll get the skull back after we get (Y/n) back!" Everyone looked at me, I just held her bag up. I called Cheren to tell about what happened, Bianca was with Cheren, so I didn't need to call her too.

Me and Lenora ran out the entrance in an attempt to catch up with the Plasma members. A man sauntered over to us, honestly, he looked wild! "Good day, Lenora. Find any good Fossils lately?" This man seemed to know Lenora pretty well.
"This is a surprise visit! Are you suffering from artist's block again? Hilbert! This is Burgh. He may not look like it, but he's Castelia City's Gym Leader!" Lenora explained, this was cool and all but... (Y/n) is still missing.
"That's great, but-" I was trying to get the topic back on our kidnapped friend.
"Eh? Just looking for a change of pace. Seems hectic or something around here. What's up?"
"What's up?! Someone just walked away with an exhibit, that's what's up!"

I was starting to get frustrated. I was looking around while the two gym leaders talked to see if I could find any clue as to where (Y/n) might be, I found nothing outside the museum, but I wasn't going to give up! When I heard footsteps, my head shot up expecting to see (Y/n), I was sorely mistaken. "Hill! We got here as fast as we could!" Bianca and Cheren were sprinting towards me and (Y/n)'s pokemon. Herdier, who had been carrying Zorua, barked at Rufflet and Rufflet picked Zorua up and placed her in Bianca's arms. Bianca stared at the feinted pokemon in her arms. She looked at me, glaring daggers my way.
"Hilbert, what happened?" I've only ever seen Bianca angry once, but that was like Arceus had begun his Judgment on us. I shivered at the memory and again when I made eye contact with her. I briefly explained the situation and explained what my plan was.
