WHERE DID YOU GO, AUDINO!
"Ecks dee."
Score: 3/10
The heroes are lost in fog when they see an Audino. Its eyes are half-open and it barely notices them as it wanders into the fog away from them. Immediately after, the fog clears up (by the way, if you think this fog is a plot point, it’s not, it’s never mentioned again), and Officer Jenny and two children named Christy and Doyle appear to arrest them. By the way, I like how Jenny has a police car in the middle of a forest. She lets them go after Cilan tells her he's a gym leader. Officer Jenny tells them that several Audino from a nearby town have disappeared - and when they saw the heroes talking with the dazed pokemon, they assumed they had something to do with it. Wow, what good detective work there, Jenny. I can tell you’re really on top of things.
Doyle's grandfather's Audino has disappeared, and Christy's Audino friend is also gone. Doyle and Christy are huge rivals in the "find the Audino" case - Doyle believes his Solosis and Christy believes her Gothita will be the deciding factor. Just then, Jenny gets a call that the pokemon center's Audino disappeared, because apparently no one thought to post a guard on it. At the pokemon center, Nurse Joy tells Jenny that her Audino is gone. How useful a scene.
The heroes ask to help, and when Jenny agrees that small children are useful in crime investigations, Cilan puts on a deerstalker hat and pulls out a magnifying glass. He will wear the hat for the rest of the episode. I love how Jenny actually tells Cilan all of the facts as if he's a huge help here. Including Nurse Joy's Audino, four pokemon have disappeared. Jenny knows of three more Audino in town, so she wants to split up and guard them all using untrained children instead of other cops. Ash and Doyle go to one Audino, Christy and Iris go to another, and Jenny and Cilan guard the last. Jenny also gives everyone a tracking device to put on the pokemon and a "messaging device" to stay in contact. By the way, the messaging devices will literally never be used.
