JAMES' P.O.V.
We walk through the doors to the news station.
"Did this lady tell you what floor she's working on?", I ask Tim.
"No, but we should probably look around and see if we can find her.", Tim says.
"Alright.", I say.
We split up.
Tim and Pikachu go in one direction, while Hope, Mew, and I go in another direction.
*****
I stumble upon a live interview with Howard Clifford, and his son, Roger Clifford.
Tim and Pikachu walk up behind us.
"Do you see her anywhere Tim?", I ask.
Tim looks around the room for a moment, and then finds who he's looking for.
"See that girl standing there by the food table.", Tim says while pointing at a lady standing over by the table.
"Yeah. Is that her?", I ask.
He nods.
"Let's go talk to her.", I say as I start to walk over to the lady.
The lady sees us walking over to her.
She doesn't recognize me, but she definitely recognizes Tim.
She quickly hurries over to us.
"What're you doing here?!", she asks Tim.
"We were wondering if you possibly knew anything about Harry Goodman's disappearance.", I say.
She looks at me.
"Who're you?", she asks.
"I'm Detective James Johnson. I was supposed to be Harry's partner.", I say.
Her eyes widen a little.
"You knew Harry Goodman?!", she asks.
"No, not really. I met him the day before his disappearance.", I say.
"Oh.", she says, a little disappointed.
Mew floats over to us.
Lucy looks at Mew in surprise.
"You have a Mew?!", she asks me.
I sigh.
"Yes. I have a Mew.", I say.
"Why do humans always act like that whenever they see me?", Mew asks me.
I look at her.
"It's because you're so rare. But honestly, the way people react when they see you is getting really annoying now.", I say.
"Sorry.", Lucy says.
Then she looks at Hope.
"And who's this little cutie?", Lucy asks.
"This is Hope. She's my Partner Pokemon.", I say.
Lucy starts to pet Hope, which causes Hope to start purring.
Pikachu hops onto the table, and finds a cup of coffee.
He immediately starts to drink the cup of coffee.
"Pikachu, I think you're addicted to coffee.", I say.
"I could stop anytime I wanted to.", Pikachu says.
"Yeah right.", I whisper to myself.
Lucy stops petting Hope, and goes for Pikachu.
"Don't worry guys. She's trying to break me, but she'll never be able-", but Lucy finds a spot that makes Pikachu's left leg start to bounce.
"Oh sweet mercy, that feels good.", Pikachu says while Lucy pets him.
"Look Lucy, we came here to ask you if you knew anything about what happened to Harry, not pet Pokemon.", I say while crossing my arms.
Lucy stops petting Pikachu, and Pikachu sends me a little glare for a second, upset that I interrupted his pets.
"Right, right. Sorry. The only thing I know is that Harry was at that complex on the outskirts of Ryme City. I could take us there in a few minutes if you want me to.", Lucy says.
I uncross my arms.
"Actually, that'd be great if you could take us there.", I say.
Lucy nods.
"Great! Give me about five more minutes, and then we'll be able to head out.", Lucy says.
I nod.
"Looks like we're getting closer to solving this mystery, huh James?", Hope says.
"Hopefully, yeah. But I've gotta feeling that searching that complex won't be as simple as it sounds.", I say.
"Yeah, I guess so.", Hope says.
I crouch down, and pet her on her head.
"As long as we're together, we'll be alright.", I say, giving Hope a smile.
She smiles back.
