To be honest, it was never even the slightest bit intelligent in anyway whatsoever to be conducting an investigation just as night began to fall—especially on some desolate, basically abandoned island. But, conducting this investigation was none other than the great Officer Looker himself, meaning that all common logic that had nothing to do with sleuthing and/or serious puzzle piecing was, of course, thrown out the window.
…Or, in this case, the sea. The ocean water slushed and chopped as the boat pulled up slowly towards the dock. Gathering the last of his things, the detective was suddenly stopped by an older, portly looking gentleman, garbed in a navy blue uniform that made him almost blend in perfectly with the nighttime, “Agent, are you sure this is a good idea? Maybe you wanna just call this off ‘til—”
"No," the younger male interjected, clipping a communications device to his belt, paired with the empty clip of Pokeballs—the unfortunate usual at this point, "I am here to stop whatever shady activity is lurking within the mine, yes. I cannot wait. Criminals do not wait and I do not as well."
The older gentleman opened his mouth to speak, faulting when he noticed that Looker had already exited the boat and planted himself upon the rickety white dock. “Fine,” He threw his hands up, “Go alone! Just lookin’ out for you hotshots at Interpol! Listen, we’ll be back in an hour or so in case you end up findin’ anyone we need to take back, sound good?” Looker simply nodded. “Agent… Arceusspeed!”
The boat sped off into the darkness, the soft hum eventually dissipating off into nothing as Looker stood alone. The single click of a flashlight in his hands was enough to provide a sense of sight for the agent, observing his next move. “…There appears to be a path that leads upwards…” He muttered to himself, really.
Trekking the path, the soft cries of wild Pokemon and the rolling waves of the ocean offered his only companionship. Whoever was hiding here, away from detection, was honestly doing a rather impressive job, Looker had to admit. Then again, he wasn’t even inside the mine—that was, until a strange house had now caught his eye. It was… rather pristine considering being on an lonely island. Too obvious for a hideout, no…? Looker made an attempt to press further observation, walking up towards the window to see inside when a sudden voice caught his ear.
"…?" Looker blinked and immediately brought his flashlight up, following the rest of the path until his light shone in the face of another figure. They flinched, but made no attempt to run. The agent was quick to retract his device, taking a couple steps away from the building as he called out, "Yes? Is someone up there?"
—Merde, I must be more cautious! No doubt this is trick of the deception from some criminals, yes? Hm… I must remain vigilant!
