INT. URSHIFU'S GUILD - AFTERNOON

Urshifu angrily walks up to Dewott.

URSHIFU

(Furious)

Where is she? WHERE DID YOU LEAVE BRAIXEN?

DEWOTT

(Intimidated)

I...

URSHIFU

Is she in Daylight Meadow? Is that where she is?!

Dewott doesn't respond.

URSHIFU

(To Exploud and Lucario)

You two! Go to Daylight Meadow and get Braixen NOW!

DEWOTT

(Sheepishly)

Um...

URSHIFU

WHAT?

DEWOTT

She's... She's in Darkwood Forest.

URSHIFU

I told you to...

(Regains focus)

Exploud! Lucario! She's in Darkwood Forest!

Lucario and Exploud nod and run off. Urshifu looks at Dewott angrily.

URSHIFU

This deed will not go unpunished. Meet me in my office.

Urshifu walks into his office. Dewott stares down at her feet and walks in as well.

INT. URSHIFU'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Urshifu sits at his desk, his head in his hands. Dewott sits down on a chair across the room.

URSHIFU

This is absolutely unacceptable, Dewott.

DEWOTT

So?

URSHIFU

The correct answer would be "I know".

DEWOTT

I know, but I don't care.

Urshifu slams his fist down on the table.

URSHIFU

That's the problem with you! You don't know how to care!

DEWOTT

I know how to care, I just—

URSHIFU

No, not "I just"! You abandoned your partner! She could be dead by now! You don't know how to be empathetic!

DEWOTT

Hm.

URSHIFU

Dewott... I don't want to do this, but...

DEWOTT

Don't expel me from the Guild. Don't you dare.

URSHIFU

That's not what I had in mind. You will not have dinner today.

DEWOTT

But—

URSHIFU

I'm not done. Until Braixen is returned to the Guild, you will be cleaning the streets of Treasure Town. And if Braixen returns injured or worse... It will be your job for life.
