The UPIN (Unidentifed Pokemon Information Network) website, specifically the forum, was usually abuzz with activity of all sorts. Normally Harper would have to dig through pages and pages of amateur ghost stories, close encounters, and metahuman rumors to find things worth looking into. Normally no matter how hard she and her Papa tried, there was always more cases then they could possibly cover alone. So she was surprised to find the normal dumping ground a bit sparse. At least when it comes to new reports... however, there was a sudden increase in not only guests joining in on the discussion, but overall discussion. However, it was all surrounding one case. It was so strange! I haven't seen anything like it!
It attacked everyone!
Was there any trace evidence?
Someone from the League came and covered it up!
The alien on the train. That name is so lame...She had interviewed quite a few people since arriving. Many of them seemed surprised that she showed up, and not just because yes, she really did like a little kid. No, quite a few obviously had been just recounting second-hand information and passing it off as their own. They were embarrassed. She had about of dozen names added to her list, cousins, friends, friends of cousins. A few of the leads actually turned out well. and a picture was quickly forming. There were a few similar aspects to almost all of the actual eye-witness accounts. A long red-haired man... His appearance ended up distinct enough to be able to interview more people about him specifically. Thankfully he didn't seem a stranger to the Sinclair, and following this lead didn't prove too tricky. Before long she had pieced together his routine.. It wasn't stalking! It was investigating! Although she had been worried someone might tip him off to it, she still believed her appearance at least afforded her some amount of natural disguise. Nobody suspected the cute pigtailed little kid of being a stalker investigator! One of the employees of this little corner mart swore that he frequented it sometimes at this time in the morning, and she was hovering around pretending she was looking at a small display of toys. (Maybe looking a little) Another kid... or well, a little boy had been standing nearby for some time making her nervous.. and eventually, he came over and nudged her out of the way a little, breaking her attention for just a moment as she shouted at him. "You could say excuseeee me!" Harumph. Luke IndigoIf I got anything wrong enough, please just retcon it as you need ♥ so excited!

In the last couple of weeks, Luke had done nothing but work and sleep. When he wasn’t working to perfect the Ultra Aura detector, he was wandering out in foreign lands with it, searching for even a trace of it. When he wasn’t doing that, he was tending to his duties as a principal investigator of a League sanctioned lab, and if he wasn’t there he was…. standing in this convenience store trying to remember what kind of candy he liked, apparently. Ugh Arceus hell… he was tired, and the Sawsbucks coffee in his hand was doing absolutely nothing for him even as he took another slow sip of it.
You should rest… Nilly whined a bit. We should rest… Though the Nihilego had been easing up some on Luke’s restraints to give him a bit more freedom from his sleep routine, it was starting to regret it from the looks of their poor human. Oh, his feeble body was not meant for such stress and strain, and it was distressing to see him in such a state. You must nap when you get back… Luke ignored it, however, and finally fished out a package of gum instead of food. The cashier raised an eyebrow at him but said nothing as he rang it up. Fishing out a credit card, Luke swiped it and took the bag, turning back just in time to hear the little girl snap at another child? A small soundless laugh escaped from him before he started towards the exit again.
Nilly, meanwhile, was trying to figure out where they had seen her before. She looked… so familiar for some reason? Luke… you do not have a relative, do you? Luke stopped walking. What?? his inner dialogue resounded. I’ve seen that girl somewhere before… Luke looked back towards the girl and raised an eyebrow slowly.

He's here. Oh my gosh. He's here. That Greg guy wasn't lying..
He... looks kinda like a mess...She glanced at her 'phone' for a moment, but she was really looking at the readout of a scanner she had hidden in her cute Skitty backpack. Huh.. She pouted. Nothing. She was starting to think that the Residual Energy Detector was broken or something. He was coming up completely clean. Harumph. She pulled herself away from the toy display full of cute Pokemon beanie friends with a feeling in her gut she might come back later. Right as she did the little kid stuck his tongue at her for scolding him and embarrassing him. ... Totally cool. Right as she turned around though she caught him looking over at her with a funny eyebrow, making her heart start to skip beats. Oh no. Did he get tipped off? Did one of the contacts tattle? Oh no, oh no, oh no. It's okay. It's okay. Gotta stay cool.
She grinned at him while she had his attention, ignoring the look on his face. She practically skipped over to him, grinning wide. "Hiya mister~" She didn't have to try sound like a little kid at all so the effect when she emphasized it was almost smothering. Levels of saccherine that knock out the steel-iest of Steelix's. She put her hands behind her back and beamed at him, flashing him a big ol' smile. "Are you interested in some Girl Scout cookies, mister? I always really wanted to earn the cookie badge." She played with her hair a little, looking a bit shy. The slight deception was embarrassing, silly, and made her feel a little bad. But it worked a lot. She only had to send cookies to people like, thrice. She pulled out an order sheet from her backpack and held it to her chest, fluttering her eyelashes at him. Luke Indigo

As the girl grinned at him, Luke’s lips pursed. "Hiya Mister!” Oh, great, whoops. Got the attention of some kid, he guessed. Don’t be rude to the kids just cause you’re tired.. His own inner thoughts spun this around and had him nodding a bit to himself.
Girl Scout cookies? Luke straightened a little, reaching to twist a few fingers through his locks of hair. “Ah uh… sure?” he asked not having remembered it was Girl Scout season (or when Girl Scout season even was, oops). “I guess a box wouldn’t hurt…” He was sure if nothing else, the lab assistants and their newest comrade, the med school intern, would be happy to feast on the spoils of outings.
A hand extended to the sheet, and he’d wait for her to hand it to him before actually looking through it. Hm…. Actually, it had been a while since he’d had Thin Mints and whatever those coconut shelled cookies were… Maybe two boxes. Get them all… Nilly, hush. A small puff of air escaped from Luke, but he managed to keep himself together. “I guess I’ll just have a box of Thin Mints…” he commented. “Do you need me to fill it out or—?”

She giggled, trying hard not to sound mischevious about it. Nothing tricky or sneaky going on here. She shook her head. "Oh, if you just want a box I could give it to you now! Harper uses Follow me! Wheee!" She giggles, beckoning him away from the stand a bit. It seemed a bit... bad to sell right next to another shop.
Once she was sufficiently away from the stand and they had a bit of privacy, It was go time, it was show time. "Heyy.... Mister! Did you hear about the alien people saw before? Did ja? I wish I coulda seen it. Didja?" There was still nothing particularly threatening about it, people had been talking about it a lot.
She was digging in her box and pawing through a couple boxes of to find the Thin Mints, the unopened box. She couldn't be blamed for having a cookie now and again. Although her Skitty backpack was full of plenty of things that wouldn't be at all out of place for a girl her age, a little plushie, a cute toy, the girl Scout boxes... there was a couple strange looking "toys" sticking out, a little peek at her investigative gadgets. She was trusting them to be unrecognizable though.
But all the while she was studying his every expression. Not wanting to miss a moment of weakness, of nervousness.

This seems sketchy… Luke bit the inside of his mouth. It’s a little girl with Girl Scout cookies stop being paranoid. He knew, he knew, that was most likely what it was, but that didn’t stop the hairs on the back of his neck from standing up a little. This isn’t Era. Oh, that had been on his mind a lot lately, hadn’t it? Luke sighed, shook his head, and followed after the girl for now.
As the girl set down her things and started to go through them, Luke leaned against a pole and watched. The question asked, however, had Luke’s brow quirked a little. Alien? Perhaps it was that he was too scientific to take an Interdimensional Beast and call it an Alien or perhaps he was too secluded and focused to grasp what laymen were talking about but— the response was the same. “No? What alien?” His brow furrowed a little as he tried to think back on what he’d seen in the news recently but HAH guess who didn’t watch the news much these days?

She put on just a bit of an over-exaggerated gasp, one of her first bits of not so great acting, stopping her treasure hunting for Thin Mints for just a moment to emphasize seeming very surprised that he hadn't heard.
She didn't resume immediately, trying to buy as much time as she could. "The Alien! You didn't hear!? Everyone's talking about it! They are saying it was like.." She stretched out and put her hand up high. "six feet tall," and then she started to wiggle her hands back and forth a little..." and all wiggly, and it attacked people! And I heard they that some guy tried to cover it up! They are saying you have to report if you find anything funny." She nodded, which was a fact that always lit up the imaginations of her paranormal circles. There had to be something going on because the League wanted to control the information distribution. That's why UPIN, her community, existed though! A testament to the truth!
Her enthusiasm at least seemed genuine, because it was... and before she gave him a good chance to respond she excitedly added another point like any other kid excited for attention. " And and.. I always wanted to see a real-life alien. My friend says it's not real but there were even pictures!" and... then she started sifting through her bag again... occasionally glancing to see how he responded.

Six feet tall, wriggly, and it attacked people… Oh fucking— She had to mean Nilly, didn’t she? Realization hit him like a truck, and he wasn’t sure whether to be amazed or disgusted by his own mental blocks. But it’s an extradimensional beast not an exterritorial life form… his brain argued, but argh that wasn’t the point right now anyways.
Internally, Nilly pipped up from its extended silence. Sorry… Ack— No Nilly don’t— ok maybe you should apologize considering all the hell you raised but… that wasn’t the point right now.
Harper would likely notice how blanched Luke’s features had become in those few seconds. He wouldn’t immediately respond, but when she gave him the space to do so he did gather his thoughts. “Ah that’s— yeah I have heard about that actually … guess I didn’t think it was an alien it just… seemed like a hoax,” he hated lying but the less people knew the better. “I’m more interested in things on earth...” he went on. “I’m the Berry Professor after all.” Did he really need to tack that on? Maybe? Well, there it was. “L-Luke Indigo, by the way.” Apparently he needed to tack that on as well.

It was easy to play the defensive brat when that's kind of what you were a bit. "It's not a hoax! It's real! I know it!" Her hands on her hips and pursing her lips a little, looking very just... gawsh. How dare. How dare her say such a thing. She was pretty good at putting on a huffy attitude and found the entire thing a little... intoxicating. It was strange. Like she was kind of... letting go?
No.. no.. she wasn't like that.
She leaned into it a little, hoping the bratty style delivery could keep going and would make the next part a bit natural. He really wasn't acting that strange, but maybe she could make him believe he was. She giggled and gripped the Thin Mint box in her hand tight. "You're acting funny! You sure you aren't hiding something? Mr. Berry Professor! What's that anyway? Huh? Do you invent Berries? Inventing food sounds like the hoax!" She grinned in a very cheeky manner, trying to make it obvious she was teasing. A little unable to hide her slightly flushed face as she started to feel silly about how difficult and bratty she felt acting like this.
She seriously could not make a habit of this...
"Oh, oh oh! I think there was a picture!"
Hopefully, this was it. S-She didn't think she could handle this anymore.

The spontaneous, insistent way the girl spoke had Luke grimacing a little. He knew it was…was just a thing kids tended to do but arghaskdjsaldj it did not help the feeling that he was about to be caught??? No? She was just a kid? Just a kid who happened to have a fixation or something. C’mon Indigo, you’ve faced worse.
What should have come off as a joke earned a small, very real huff. “I use berries to make medicine for humans and Pokemon among other things,” he snapped back only to fall silent again as she mentioned a picture. What— Ok, ok no this was the twenty-first century. Of course people would have cellphones out, and of course someone had to have snapped a photo of Nilly now and again as it rampaged but… Surely no one had been around when they had fused, when he and Nilly had carried Jazz home. When his hair moved—
Speaking of which it was starting to sway a little of its own accord. Was that cause of Nilly or his own thoughts? Reaching up to settle a few hairs, Luke took in a slower breath. “What… picture do you have? I- I might believe if it’s an actual registered camera photo and not one of those blurry ones that you can get from messing around with photoshop.” He tried to huff but it came off a little weakly.
