2nd, Hot month, 300

Still super-hot like yesterday. Man! It's really hot. So, I ran out to something I called a faucet – invented by me, and every house in the village had one like this. It's helping me bring water from the river to the house. The reason: first is taking less effort and the other one is because I'm lazy, especially hot time like this. I go to the faucet and turn the water into the bucket then pour it over myself, of course, leaving the tail, because the tail-end-fire is my life. Then I go to get something to eat, and for the Pokémon I met yesterday too. Going into the bedroom, I see that he's still sleeping. I approach and stand there for a bit and thinking: who is he? I have never met any Pokémon like him even from other places. After that his eyes start moving, he seem to awake, then he open his sleepy eyes, then suddenly sit up, shout loudly make me surprise and scream with him. He give me a strange look then look around, calmly and say:

"Where is this? Who are you? What year is it now?

What year is it? He must be still sleepy or whether he have a timing disorder. But anyway, I should answer - I told myself

"This is my town: Rei. You're in my bedroom, and I will in the future be a detective talented Sumaru Charmander. Oh, maybe it is! (I laugh lightly in a joking way) Now it's 300. And you? Who are you?

As I say that, I give him some Orans, he take a bite and answer"I am Shotarou Riolu and you probably haven't seen a Riolu yet, and I can't tell you where I'm from, you can assume that I'm lost my memories."Shotarou talk as he finish eating the Oran I give him, he sit and think about something very attentive and I don't want to bother him ,so I go out and arrange the documents. But sadly, the files are thinner than the picture book for the kids, it's neat anyway. And a flash of idea crash in my head me and I run into the bedroom and tell Shotarou:"Shotarou, do you want to go around the town, I can be your guide"Looking at his face seem like he don't want to go but I still drag him out anyway. Pulling him out of the house, I take him to the central market first. My village is quite small but it's a busy place because my village has fish from the whole continent. We're not actually fishing all kind of fish, but we buy most fish from all places so the village is quite bustling. I bring him to the central market, the market center full of Pokémon in all shapes and sizes. But today is much more than usual because of the vestival season and the Nyasu family is exhibiting the Rainbow Stone. I heard that Hooh gave it when the town first build. I take Shotarou everywhere to introduce him to the villagers and everyone welcome him. Now I can see his less scowling face. And finally, the place I want to take him to the most, the Nyasu's house. On the way, I say:


"Can I call you Shou? In return, you can call me Su. It's just I want us to get along better. Okay?"

Shotarou laugh and say:

"Just do it anyway, anyhow I gonna stay with you a long, long time, Su."

It is Shou's first smile that I have seen since he saved him until we left the house for the whole morning, but his thoughtful face made me think it is hard to come by but it is actually completely opposite.

"Wait!! Stay with me? Do you mean to live in my house? I guess I have to ask someone to build a new bed. Two-story bed is that okay? "

"It's on you. Su's house, Su's rule."

And I decide to ask someone making a new bed for us after the visit end, but I don't expect is that it have to be delay couple days because we are dragged into the greatest incidents of Rei ever.

So, we on the way to Nyasu's house, he's the village's chief, his house is the biggest in this village with 5 bedrooms and each of them is equal to my house, and some other function rooms. But it's have not yet included the wide garden and a large building used for display Rainbow Stone. We have just arrived in front of his house, then uncle Bairi a Mr. Mime rush out of the house in frighten and almost hit us. He is the Nyasu's head butler. I'm wondering what happened. So, I clung to his shirt and ask:

"What's wrong, Mr. Bairi?"

He replied urgently that:

"It was 10 minutes since the exhibition started, and Rainbow Stone evaporated. I run and ask for Pokelice 's help. "

After saying that, he sped away with a speed that fast as I'm driving my car. Then I'm looking back at Shou, but Shou have disappeared and I wonder if he have gone inside by himself. And then I enter the exhibition area. And yes, Shou had been inside, and stare the glass case where Rainbow Stone was displayed. I approach him and then he ask:

"Have you ever seen the stone, Su. What does it look like?"

" Well, a few times, it's transparent like crystal, and having a sphere shape. It's called rainbow because it reflects with the sun light, which is why this building has no middle roof "

Shou think for a moment, and he look the glass case closely like he have discovered something new. Then the Pokelice team come to the scene and block it. Pokelice chief Akai Kairyuu is approaching Mr. Nyasu, said something to him that seemed to be taking testimony. And then he ordered his team to take visitors' testimony. Yes, both me and Shou, but they didn't ask much because the incident happened when I and Shou didn't even inside the exhibition area. I thought Shou would say the same thing as me, but no, he says:

"The Stone in the glass case was a fake from the beginning."

Everyone turn to Shou and me suspiciously. There is nothing better than from unrelated to become the number one suspect. The guard squad surround me and Shou, then captain Akai step in and says:

"Why are you saying that? You know How many Pokemon here saw the Rainbow Stone disappear and they were sure it was the real one. How could you said it was fake. How ridiculous?"

Shou take the glass box on top of display place out and says:

"From the beginning, it was a perfect copy of Rainbow Stone make with ice, and then put in here from the previous day and covered with cloth. On this morning, when the exhibition began and unloading the cloth. a terrible heat and a closed glass case, it was became a furnace. The fake Stone melted and evaporated almost immediately. that's why people see it evaporating. If you don't believe me, you can put your hand in here, this place still a bit damp, indicating that something like made of ice or something similar was here."

Captain Akai come and put his hand in and startled, I also tried to see why. It's indeed a bit moist, no one see that because the place for displaying the Stone was made with the dark color carpet so we could not see if it was water absorbent or not. Shou's argument is good, as what I know, normally the roof covered in order to avoid heat and the Stone is also covered with cloth until the time of Mr. Nyasu's arrival at noon, before we arrive about a few minutes. Right now I realize that Shou has the head of a detective. No! A great detective. And then we are invited by Akai to help them investigate the perpetrators of the incident. Shou sit thinking for a while and stand up, says:

" I hate to say this  but the perpetrator must be a house insider then he would be able to act so smoothly. I would recommend gathering everyone in the house and taking their testimony ."

When everyone gathered, it was almost evening when we take turns asking one by one in Mr. Nyasu's house. But 6 of them are the highest suspects. First, Nyasu's eldest son, Nyaruk, the second daughter of Nyasu, Nyako, the third Mr. Bairi, the fourth is the maid Tsutsu Purin , the fifth is the guard Wanrikii Rik and the sixth is Mr. Nyasu. We end the interrogation and decide to sleep at Mr. Nyasu's house to make it easier for us to investigate in the next day. Mr. Bairi led us into a room in the house and said:

"Tonight, please use this room"

After that Shou and I opened the door, inside is a pair of single beds, along with an elegant set of sofas, the walls of the room is painted a light brown with a lot of subtle patterns, there's a large window in the room and cover with a brown curtain . We turn around to Mr. Bairi, he bow and go away. Shou and I get into the room and close the door, I dart myself into the bed near the window, and Shou go to an armchair in the sofa set. He sit down, bant his legs to get on the chair, his 10 fingers touch each other, his head slightly down, and close his eyes. Maybe he was thinking - I think so. But I'm too tire of what happened today, I write a few lines in my diary then fall asleep.
