However, with Charles, Ymir, and Sable on the scene, they're working together to try and convince the officers! And for the most part... they've brought up convincing arguments.
Magnemite lowers his one eye and begins scanning their culprit carefully. "BZZZT. They're correct. This Eevee just so happens to closely resemble the exact pokemon we've been on high alert for! BZZZT."
Growlithe exits her ready-to-attack stance and looks around. "That can't be right." She gives a sniff. "You're also male! This... what a weird coincidence. Has this happened before?"
Vee is released from being pressed against the ground. His hat is also returned to his head by Magnemite.
>>5259109>>5259115>>5259119Maroon slips through the skylight, although it's not the most subtle thing dropping to the ground floor like a ball of fire. Luckily, it seems the commotion at the front has drawn away any guards who would've been watching this area. How convenient! But not just for you...
Escavalier unscrews the ventilation panel and sees that there's some equipment tucked away in here! Who's stuff could it be?
>>5259110>>5259118Citrine enters without much problem and scans the gallery for the pokemon he spotted early. Eev should be around here. Castform, being fairly small, follows behind. You can see a guard in the far corner and another in the middle of this wing of the museum.
Maroon, Citrine, Castform, (and maybe Escavalier) your choices:
>Examine the New Art Gallery for the thief!>Check the Ancient Paintings out, people like old things!>Old Statue exhibits might be something valuable>Is there a storage room in the back that might have something valuable?
