Harper's case files were filled with all sorts of different ghost stories. rumors, tall tales, alien sightings, and spooky mysteries. Her father had, honestly, taken far too many cases. He took everything seriously and always gave everything a respectful look. So with him gone, Harper had really started feeling the weight of it all. Even if was the same workload as before, she didn't have someone to do with her. Couple that with her own case, you know, finding her missing father.. and sometimes she just wanted to run away from it all. Fly away~ Those kinda thoughts were on Harper's mind this sorta dusty afternoon, she found herself on a local hill, overlooking a rural part of Alterna. The warm lighting was starting to kiss the countryside and make the rolling fields look romantic. Max and Dana were tucked away at the Pokemon Center, along with a good handful of her possessions. Really it was just Harper and nature, today... She supposed there was supposed to be something freeing about being without all her technology and possessions. Naked was more what it felt like to her. Maybe some people liked to be naked... Harper wouldn't know, being naked always felt kind of embarrassing to her... ... what was she thinking about? Ghosts. There had been stories of Driftloon drifting about this tall hill, and Harper had come to investigate. There had always been an allure of doing this to her, even more so now that her father was gone. You see, when it came to getting kid's prices at restaurants, Papa was always the first to use her appearance to his advantage. But when it came to actually using it for their business, he was a chump. A coward! Now that she was in charge she could... Use herself as bait! Driftloon supposed carried children away to hell or whatever, but Harper honestly didn't believe that. She wanted to know where they did take kids to though, and curiosity compelled her to figure it out. So when one finally showed up she felt the thrill of anticipation. Gooseflesh on her back, the little itty bitty hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She lifted her arm.. and the ghostly balloon Pokemon looked as excited as it could. It wrapped its little stringy hands around her's and... "Eep!" she shrieked a little as a cold shiver over took her. The Pokemon tangling hands were surprisingly freezing cold to the touch. The cold lasted a few moments and then quickly dulled her senses, becoming a numbness that also made her eyes droop a little. She felt her body slowly being lifted off the ground, but it all seemed a bit far away... so even though she should be nervous she felt unusually calm as she was gently lifted from the ground... A small child gently floating away from this dusty afternoon hill, balloon friend pulling her towards the great unknown~

He had the day off, and had decided to use it to travel around a bit. His Abra made it quite easy to get home during the times he was needed, of course, and then to warp back to where he was, so travel around the region wasn't an issue for him. But to be able to warp around more, he needed to be more familiar with the region itself... His foray just past Alterna had led the Trainer to take a break near a hill, flopping down on his back in the grass with his arms snug behind his head. The day was warm for once, a rare one during the winter season. If he was going to enjoy nature and relax for a bit before setting out again, this was the time. His Pikachu, Lightning, had found itself cuddled onto the Trainer's chest and had promptly fallen asleep in turn. Droopy, half-lidded eyes slowly opened to take in the sunny landscape, and glimpsed a shadow overhead. "Mmm?" Josh would sleepily mutter as he would stare at it a moment, noting it looked like a hot air balloon, or a Drifloon... He was a curious sort, so that curiosity got the better of him as he would rub the sleep from his eyes and grab the binoculars from his pack. Bringing them to his eyes and zooming in, it was there that he realized it was indeed a Drifloon... Carrying a child. "Huh, that's neat... A Drifloon carrying a kid..." He would sleepily mutter as his head fell back on the grass again. ... A Drifloon carrying a kid? He shot right up to his feet, Lightning letting out a panicked "PIKA!?" as he fell off and comedically crashed to the ground. Josh remembered what had been said about Drifloon and children... He would use the binoculars again and get a closer look, confirming his suspicions. His expression slowly changed to that of a look of absolute horror. "... What... The FUCK!?"
Well, he had intended on relaxing today, but it seemed he was going to be on the job now... If not just flat out, out of principal. "Lightning, let's go" He spoke, his tone completely serious as he would quickly click a Pokeball on his belt, bringing out his Charizard, Fawkes. The Charizard was notable in that instead of the usual, common height, it was a gargantuan, 8'0 beast. It was a testament to the care that he'd given this beast. Josh would then mount Fawkes, and Lightning would climb on as well. With that, Fawkes was up in the air, and on command would jet off toward the Drifloon. Before now, they flew side by side with the balloon monster, and Josh tried to get a good look at it's captive. "Oi, are you alright?" He called toward the apparent child. He wanted to be sure of what was going on, after all. It would be unfortunate to accidentally shoot down someone's Drifloon based on rumours. The child appeared to be rather disoriented, half-lidded eyes almost as though they were asleep... Which concerned him even more as he owned a Drifloon himself and knew that it's tendrils were capable of causing a cold, numbing effect. I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT IT

Consciousness slipping every moment, Harper wasn't getting to really enjoy her fun little magic balloon ride. Her hand was still gripping the Pokemon tightly but was more like there was strange kind of power at play that made her feel.. attached to the Pokemon. Sounds and visuals behind her caused her to sleepily turn her head backward, her eyes glazed over and her expression blank. The question took a moment to process in her sleepy little head, not enough to think about the consequences of what he was asking. She didn't even realize where they even were in the truest of sense... but on a basic level her mind wrapped around the question... was she alright? Although she had intended on subjecting herself to this experience, in mid-drift, she couldn't exactly say it was pleasant. "No..." she shook her head softly. "I feel really funny..." And then, a guttural feeling bubbled in her stomach and she added a few more words. "I want... my..." The Driftloon felt defensive about the sudden company and sent out a haunting little cry, sending shivers down Harper's spine and silencing her. It moved it's tendril to shift her position, attempting to make it more tricky to grab her.

The girl flat out said "No", and that was enough to make him even more concerned. But it was her speech suddenly being silenced by the Pokemon that his expression turned to horror again, before his brows furrowed in irritation and dislike for the Pokemon in particular. It appeared the rumors and stories, unfortunately, were true. Which horrified him even more than before. But he needed to hurry up and make this right. It wouldn't be proper to just let this thing kidnap a child, no? I mean yeah, she wasn't actually a child, but he didn't know this. Ironically, she was the same age as he was, but this he didn't know, again. "Magnet Rise" He spoke calmly toward the Pikachu beside him as he watched the thing - yes it was a "thing" now - would shift and make it more difficult to grab her. Josh had no intention of grabbing her from it's grip. Instead he wholly intended to attack it and cause it to drop her. "Volt Tackle!" Josh would command toward Lightning, who would be engulfed in an aura of electricity before launching itself toward the Drifloon. "PIKA-PIKA-PIKA-PIKA-PIKAPIKAPIKA-PIKA-" Of course, Josh knew it was wholly possible it might use the child as a shield, and thus his standard procedure would be put into effect... "AGILITY!"
The Pikachu would suddenly use Agility, it's speed amplified as it would suddenly disappear... Pikachu were known for being speedy, and Josh had decided to use it's strengths to their advantage for this. Lightning would suddenly re-appear behind the Drifloon... "PIKA!" It finished as it would attack with Volt Tackle. At that moment, Josh would have Fawkes descend with the intent of catching the hostage, clicking a Pokeball on his belt to bring out his Dragonite, Gawain, to widen the safety net.

Wam, pop! The Drifloon was smacked cleanly and sent out a haunting sound that sounded like pressured air escaping, but with a tremble that would send shivers down many a spine. Its body shook violently at the strike although it attempted to keep hold of the victim. However, her weight and the force of the blow made that tricky and ultimately impossible, especially since she wasn't holding on anymore. She was dropped quickly and the balloon kept flying on, still guided by the winds. She plummeted. A truly terrifying experience if she was fully conscious, but in her state she only got a bit frightened from the acceleration, her breathing quickened and her body shivering as she fell into Josh’s arms. Although her small frame was cold to the touch at first, she started to warm up quickly, and make small little urghs like one would expect from someone waking up from a particularly hazy sleep. She clung to him and spoke... “..Papa…” she had actually been finishing the statement she was making before she fell, but it was true she also was for the moment confused, she associating being held with being held by her Papa… and as she blinked a few times her face started to turn red as the first thing she noticed was that it indeed was not her Papa. The second thing she noticed was just as terrifying... “W-w-where am I?!” She almost panicked again, noticing she was in the air… but a flood of realization hit her fast. The last thing she remembered vividly was being carried off… “What happened!?” She demanded of her rescuer, just a bit distraught, and not all because she called a stranger something embarrassing.

The safety net had been wide. But to be frank, Josh doubted that the Commander would have disagreed with taking extra precautions when someone's life was on the line, and taking these precautions didn't hurt the chances of doing the job at hand. His job right now was saving this girl's life. And that was what he was going to do. And if he had a full team of Pokemon he could call out to make sure the job was done and done right? Then he'd take full advantage of every resource at his disposal when it didn't cost a thing to simply open his Pokeballs and make commands. Either way, Josh would catch the girl when she fell, wrapping his arms around her tightly to ensure she didn't fall. He didn't hear her mumblings, more focused on the task at hand as he was trying to make sure that Fawkes had a safe, proper landing and that Josh kept hold on the girl throughout. He was completely wrapped up in his duty, his brimming brown eyes fierce and betraying the sheer focus that consumed his very being in these moments. The woman's awakening and her words brought him back to reality, and he would look toward her then. "Drifloon carried you off. You're safe now. Full warmth should return shortly, but if it does not, you can relax near the flame of my Charizard, if you so wish."I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT IT

Although Harper had been struck just a moment ago by a pang of embarrassment, such feelings quickly drifted away. Consciousness was still playing hard to get at the moment, feelings and thoughts were hard to hold on to. Slippery like a slimy Eelektross. It took a while for her to understand what the man talking to her had said, a few plays of the audio in her head before it became more than noise and became words. Then… guilt, regret… “Nooo..” she wailed, clinging to her small frame. She was still cold, and although the warm glow of the Fire Pokemon certainly helped, the coldness she felt was mystical in nature, a coldness down to her very essence. “No no no…” she continued, grimacing. “I have to go back.. Go back... I need to find out where… they go…for Papa…” She was quickly filled with emptiness, loneliness, and wanted to cry. “Papa…” Her voice was shakey and sad, like a child about to sob, but she never all the way did so. It was better in her mind when the presence nearby felt like him, without him around she could only be reminded of the hole he was leaving in her life. He was gone. Where was he? Was the Driftloon going to take her to him? But those feelings thankfully eventually slipped away from her. Shifting from one thought to the next… “Mama… you don’t have to cut it up for me… I’m not a baby…” “The aliens… they’re here.. They put stuff in the water…” Before to too long her eyes would start to flicker open occasionally as everything would start to feel more warm. She would glance right over to him. “Who are you?” Josh Dragomir

Now that his attention was more on her, he did hear the rest of the mumbling now. He chose not to speak of it, of course. His job was to ensure that she was safe and sound, and if he did need to take her home to her parents, then he would, that was fine. But another part of his job was figuring out the situation. And this appeared to be a much weirder situation than he had originally thought. She was trying to figure out where they went? Why? Why was a child trying to figure out where the Drifloon and Drifblim flew off to? If she was being sent by a parent, well... That instinct of his when it came to kids (even if he didn't know she was a grown woman) kicked in there. He and this parent were going to have words if it came to that. The woman would finally ask who he was, and he would first motion toward the ground, indicating for her to hang on as Fawkes would come in for a landing. Once they had landed safely, he would speak. "Just call me Josh. I saw the Drifloon carrying you off."
Then the question came, that he knew he needed to ask. "Did you get grabbed on purpose?"
