Malls...giant buildings full of smaller stores and food courts, almost always crowded, and have security everywhere. Too bad that there was a disgruntled employee of the security department. And Asher got him to give the kid a detailed map of the place. Oh how he was going to have fun! He had managed to sneak inside, avoiding cameras and security personal. He eventually found the circuit breaker for the entire mall. He had Larvesta use Ember to destroy it. Continuing to sneak around, he used the bug's String Shot to soon put any kind of maintenance and security personal in sticky silk. And the baby bug was having an easy time getting faces, eyes, legs, and then arms. His Marowak also moved the bodies to a single storage room. Spitting sticky silk on the door, it would take a while for them to be found let alone for the electricity and cameras to be turned on. 

Why did he do all of this? To get clothes that weren't so ragged. He was a runaway and more or less homeless. A teenager, most he could get was a couple of seasonal part-time jobs that barely paid enough for him to pay for pokefood. He had to do whatever it took to survive. And right now, he really needed clothes. In the panic and people using cell phones and emergency lights, Ash moved to the local clothing stores. He had managed to grab a package of socks and underwear when he had to dodge a few other people. Then he went over to the T-shirts and started to search for his size. Luckily, there was still plenty of noise and some chaos around...but who knows how long this will last...
