[Claire has been working on her investigation into Twister's murder. She's complied a list of notes about what she has discovered so far. It reads as follows:

- After being cleaned up, the body was found to have several gash marks on it's chest. Some kind of animal?
- Luke seems to think that it might have been a person trying to convince us it was an animal by fabricating the extent of the wounds.
- Regardless, he definitely died by being stabbed through the heart.
- Ms. Layton has laid a claim to taking over as Prime Minister soon after the death. She is a suspect.
~~- Talking to Clive has shown that Prime Minister Twister killed him before all this happened.~~ This isn't relevant to the case? Unless it pins Clive as a suspect.
- Don Paolo claims to be the last person to have seen Twister before he died. He says he witnessed him talking to a Clive he was unfamiliar with in the lobby.
- Talk to the Clives to find out if any of them were with Twister on the day of the murder?
- Don't bother with that one annoying Clive until it becomes unavoidable.

She's frowning. Talking to all of the Clives would take ages... Feel free to give her some advice, whether you fall into the Clive category or not.]

...ehhhh?

...

[Why is she talking about P-- ...oh. Why does he have a nametag what even...]

They're, uh, a Flying-type native to Kanto? Are you from Unova or something?

[In his experience, Unova is the only region where it's common to not even have heard of half of the Japanese Pokemon... even in Orre they seem to have a pretty good knowledge of them.]

Kanto? that's a region in Japan. No, I'm English. And I can't say that I've ever heard of a place called Unova.

[Well, this one might take the cake as the most confusing Clive so far.]

Uh, yeah, Kanto's one of the Japanese regions. English... what, you mean one of in the UK regions? Which one?

Unova's... American.

[Clive don't sound so judgemental, you lived in Unova for two years.]

I've never heard of an American place called Unova, sorry. As for which region I live in, well... I come from London is that makes you any less confused.

[...what the fuck is London woman you are batshit.]

Uh. Not really.

...

[HMMM.]

...what kind of Pokemon do you have?

What are Pokemon?

[She's hoping that isn't Japanese slang for something dirty. :|]

[Dude what is wrong with you it's like not playing card games in Yugiohverse.]

...they're. Uh.

...do you live under a rock?

No, I certainly do not. Have you been abducted from an asylum?

...um, no?

[He lets Banette out of her ball as proof.

Hey look, Claire, it's a thing with claws just like the ones who left marks on Twister!]

[Asdfghjkl what is that hell beast? Is this something the Dressing Room can... do? Oh. Ohhhh!]

Of course, my mistake. Can I ask you where you got that... that creature?

Uh, I traded my Duskull for a Shuppet back in Hoenn, and it evolved a couple months back. Why?

[None of that made any sense, but that doesn't matter right now!]

Because this creature might hold the key to the mystery I've been working on. How long have you been here?

[...what how.]

Uh... a couple days?

[Don't mind Banette trying to touch your hair, Claire. IT'S NEVER SEEN A GINGER BEFORE :O ]

[Backs away. She kind of doesn't want to be touched by the potential murder weapon, thank you.]

And you definitely had this creature with you before you arrived?

[Sad puppet is sad! 8( She croons out a little "bane baaaa" at Claire.]

Yes? She's a Banette, for the record.

...and, uh, she won't hurt you. I mean, I know Ghosts get a bad rap, but she's just curious. She likes hair.

B-but, well you see... a creature with claws like this... this Banette recently attacked a resident here.

[She watches Banette with interest.]

...

Did you listen to the part where I said that she wouldn't hurt anyone? She barely even likes battling, let alone the idea of attacking a person.

If that's so, then you wouldn't mind checking her claws against the body then, would you?

It's her choice, not mine.

[...Banette immediately shoots back to her Pokeball.]

...I'll take that as a refusal.

Well then, I'll have to say that this makes you both look pretty suspicious. If you are innocent then cooperating would only prove that.

Like I said, it's her choice, not mine. If Banette doesn't want to, it's up to her.

...she doesn't like bodies, so it's hardly a surprise.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. But so far Banette is the only creature here who comes close to having the claws to have committed the murder.

Look, she's frightened of bodies and she's the biggest softy of any battle-trained Pokemon that I've ever met.

If there were ever a risk of any of my Pokemon attacking someone, the most likely one would be Vaporeon, and even he's not that stupid.

What is a Vaporeon? I'd need to see what it looks like.

[He lets it out, and it promptly gives Claire a look of disdain.

GET YOUR POKEMON OUT GINGER HE'S READY TO BATTLE.]
