All around the town, things are turning up missing. Baubles, trinkets, spare pokeballs, anything not nailed down. Even a few scraps from Dewford’s meager museum are missing. With the college kids back in school for the fall semester, that just leaves the older folk to complain about these occurrences.[break][break]
Luckily, Sheriff Navidson’s on the case. Once upon a lifetime, he had been proficient at tracking down crooks and criminals. He’s got a friend on the case and another to keep him company. Voyager’s got his nose to the dirt, sniffing around the town. He’s got his eyes on something. Until the dog really, truly hits his stride, they’re just enjoying a stroll together.[break][break]
Good to see you back in Dewford. Haven’t gotten a bite taken out of you by any gibles, huh?” The sheriff teases with a smile. “Vortigern’s kids are pretty nasty.

"Don't mention the Gibles." Howard said darkly as he held his Larvitar in one hand. "Never again. Vortigern gets around like a Scorbunny in heat."

Working on the paper he had promised Navy following their expedition into Ultra Space was a project that had grown in scope, and had led him back to Dewford to do some extra research. That, combined with a slew of other factors, had led to Dewford's sheriff recruiting Howard for one of missions. Howard made a big deal out of helping, but Navy's offer had been a gift from above. If he had to write another sentence, the sheriff would have to arrest him for manslaughter.

Stretching his legs would do Howard some good, and he could finally get to see the elusive Navidson Process, which seemed to involve walking his dog. Howard didn't judge. He got his best ideas for papers while sleeping on his couch.

"The museum here is lacking, man. Even more empty than usual." Howard complained for a moment, before letting out a light grin and giving the Gym Leader a tap on the shoulder. "Good to be back. Hopefully this doesn't lead into a rabbit hole with an international crime syndicate. My schedule is booked."

Careful, we’ve got a few smuggling rings in town.” He says, smiling as he leaks information. There’s smuggling rings all over Hoenn. No one can keep them all straight, least of all Rocket. Declan Walsh must be a master conductor to manage so many moving parts. Arceus knows Navy finds it hard enough to keep consistent deputies.[break][break]
For all we know, they could be tied into these thefts. There were some really expensive money laundering paintings in that museum.” Modern art’s a joke and society makes fun of you if you say so. The detective turned sheriff never went in for that sort of thing, nor does he have the right kind of eyes to understand what he’s looking at. An eighth grade education will only get you so far.[break][break]
Believe it or not, my dragon buddy’s a one woman kind of guy. and me recovered a female Garchomp. Some Rocket goon was using her in the battle of Dewford. Now they’re inseparable. Vortigern and Rowena. Heh, probably the best names I’ve ever cooked up.” So many of their brood were growing up fast. With all the conflict within their lair, they’re given plenty of opportunity to hone their claws and train. Much like Junior, they’re growing up too quick.[break][break]
You should just move here at this rate.” He teases Howard a wag of his finger. Voyager mistakes this for a sign that treats will be coming eminently and raises his head.[break][break]
Find me this thief first, you got a good sniff of his scent earlier.” Voyager gives a weak murmur as his head droops. “Oh, you’ll live, big baby.

"Smuggling rings? You're kidding me!" Howard said in mock surprise, even though Hoenn had enough smuggling rings to run a whole ring toss game. Howard knew from experience: he was part of many of them. He helped transfer artifacts to underground auctions often enough. If there was a dig site in Hoenn, a few artifacts were likely 'forgotten', and not written down.

Who could blame him? Archaeologists were busy people. They forgot to write things down.

"Look on the bright side, at least Dewford won't be filled with pretentious art students from Slateport, anymore. You guys need to get a replica painting of Au Luminoise deu Dewford in that museum. Now that's a painting." Howard beamed. It was a landscape painting of Dewford done by a Kalosian artist. The actual one was currently in the Kalos Museum of Art. "You? A theater kid? Color me shocked."

Vortigern and Rowena? Heh.

With estate this cheap? I might consider it." With Dewford's history as a warzone, housing was relatively cheap for an island. Far cheaper than Slateport, anyway. It wasn't all that far from Rustboro, either. Serizawa the Larvitar growled at Voyager, before Howard tsked him. "Sorry, spending too much time with Shirley. Is the Arcanine for tracking? I'm not a detective-sheriff-gym leader, see. Resume isn't as big as yours."

Was this a good time to mention that Howard had seen Arcanine used in crime flicks? Probably not.

Yeah, that’s right.” Voyager barks happily when he hears the subject has turned to him. Wagging his tail, he keeps sniffing and finally seems to get something. He takes off down a back alley behind a gas station and a local general store. The old couple inside gasp at the sight of Voyager running beside their store.[break][break]
My brother and I adopted him, back when he was a little growlithe. was on the force up in Slateport. There were too many growlithes in one of the PD’s litters.” He keeps a healthy supply of air in his lungs as he runs to keep up with his Pokemon, urging Howard on to do the same. Nothing like a little cardio to make you feel young again. Huffing like a dragon, sweat beading down his shirt, he finally sees what Voyager has cornered.[break][break]
Har!” A little cat says with a laugh, narrowly missing Voyager’s nose. He streaks by like a line of steel lightning. Navy’s never seen a Perrserker before, but he’s heard about them. The dagger cuts a metal trash can clear in two. Turning back to face them, he takes the lid up like it’s a round shield, falling into a warrior’s stance.[break][break]
…a cat, huh? Why’s it always come back to these damn things.” Half his jobs were finding lost cats, once upon a time.

Oh, right. Important to remember that the guy you were working with knew people whose names would be remembered centuries from now. That was pretty important. Even more important that the guy you were sneaking around could always tell his friend Kyle to nuke Howard from orbit.

Man, those illegal smuggling rings were looking less and less appealing as time went by. Frankly, he wouldn't risk being a petty criminal in Hoenn, given that Navy was willing to go around and bash some heads in over a few missing purses. There were too many ways to trip up in this region.

What if the person doing the thievery was with Team Rocket? What if they recognized Howard? Shit. He didn't think about that. As Navy explained Voyager's origin, Howard began to have a panic attack. A stray grunt wouldn't recognize him, right? He was pretty distant from the organization. Good thing they were running. Howard could sweat buckets while stressing out.

"That's sweet. Growlithes are a man's best friend. Speaking of, did you ever talk to Kyle about that autograp-" Howard trailed off when he saw the cat.

Oh, thank Arceus. It wasn't a stray grunt. It only smelled like one.

"The fuck's up with that Meowth? It's feral!" Howard's eye widened, then he groaned and drooped his head. "Ugh. Even worse. It's Galarian."

Galar was known for three things: royalty, annoying sports fans, and feral animals. Howard hated all three. Galar was a plague upon the world, and it was best to finally tell it goodbye. It'd probably help if he knew that what he and Navy were facing was a Perrserker, not a Meowth.

"Um, what's good against feral cats?" Normally, Howard would come up with a decent answer. Instead, he came up with a pretty good catch-all: Claydol. The doll burst out of its ball, its limbs swirling about as the ancient mechanism warmed up. Its eyes blinked on, and all symbols became dots. Crumble time.

"Hit it..?" Howard told Crumble tentatively as he held back Serizawa. "Don't get rabies, please?"

Har!” Says the Perrserker as he looks over the humans. Their Pokemon puzzle him. One’s a dog three times his size. The other is some idol of a foreign god. Looking between them, the cat’s mind goes to one place and one place only: plunder.[break][break]
Har!” He echoes, running towards them both. Holding the round shield high for cover, he feels Voyager’s fangs scrape against the metal. Jumping off the dog’s head, he makes a lunge forward. His aim is not to jump against either Pokemon. Instead, it’s to go over them. He lands upon Howard’s shoulders.[break][break]
What a noxious smell that must be, close as the two are. Taking a whiff of Howard, the Perrserker smells something just as noxious: the smell of someone poor. The cat almost retches up his last meal before stealing himself enough to jump off the shoulder with Howard’s hat in tow. He stands tall and proud on the roof above them.[break][break]
Har! Har har har!” He cheers, wearing the hat like a battle trophy. Turning around, he lifts his tail and smacks his own rear by way of taunt.[break][break]
Heh…I like this guy.” Navy grins.

The Meowth smelled Galarian, too. Reeking breath, slurring movements, infuriating demeanor.

Holy shit. It's .

And, like Shred Zeppelin, as soon as the Perrserker realizes Howard has nothing to offer him, the beast runs away to torment someone else. Also like Shred Zeppelin, its taste in attire is both fashionable and a crime against humanity. This, Howard finds out as soon as he sees it run away with his hat.

Oh, motherfucker. It was on.

"My hat!" Howard wailed as the Perrserker ran away and taunted him. Without the hat, Howard's ruin hunter aesthetic was dropped by an obscene amount. He was far less cool, far less attractive, and far less competent without it. It was, quite literally, his thinking cap. It also hid his hideous helmet hair.

Plus, it was the only relatively nice thing Howard owned. It was made from the finest leather, tanned, oiled, and cut by masters of the craft. There was no way it was going to rot in the hands of a cat.

There was one thing hatless Howard had over hatted Howard, though. He was far more aggressive. That hat was practically family, and the cat had taken it. Nothing was stronger than Howard's ties to his family, besides his parents. The hat was second only to Shirley.

"I bet you like him. He has your beard when you don't shave." Howard scowl mixed into a snarl. Howard tossed out his Bronzor. With a whispered command, the Bronzor glowed with an ominous power, while Howard grinned wickedly. He turned to Navy. "You gonna help catch your thief, or am I getting paid to deputize?"

Poor guy.” The sheriff muses, still smiling. Another pokeball comes out. Hattori jumps out of the ball. Though his shinobi might not have Voyager’s nose, he has keen senses. Perrserker runs across rooftops, the frog fast in tow. Mounting up on Voyager, Navy offers Howard a hand.[break][break]
It’s quicker than climbing up to the roof. We gotta chase him.”[break][break]
Just how quick could one little cat be? The answer is very quick. Dashing across the roof, Voyager’s size ends up working against him. Dewford doesn’t have very many tall buildings. Roofs are spaced relatively far apart. Perrserker uses this to his advantage, forcing Navy to quickly dismount.[break][break]
Heh heh heh…Har!” Perrserker raises a hand as they end up another roof, this one lined with Meowths both Galarian and Kantonian.[break][break]
Shit.” The sheriff curses. Hattori, as always, saves them. Throwing down a smokescreen, his shinobi gives Navy cover. From inside the smoke, Navy can hear the greninja do battle with the meowth horde.[break][break]
Never a boring day in Dewford!

"Joy. If that little shit ruins my hat, it'll have a shorter lifespan than the Three Days War." Howard grumbled as he accepted Navy's hand.

When he was a kid, Howard has always wanted to ride an Arcanine. They were so fluffy! Luckily, a few riding excursions with 's Pokémon made this ride slightly easier. He was not going to throw up on Navy's shoulder. The Perrserker would win that way. Divide and conqueror, something something.

As they dismounted, Howard scowled at it, only for his disdain to turn to horror as the Perrserker revealed its gang. No wonder it had stolen so much in Dewford! "I told you, Navy. No international crime syndicates!" As Hattori continued its battle, Howard's Bronzor aided with a dazzling Confuse Ray, causing several of the Meowths to scream at each other and hiss. It didn't take long for a catfight to erupt.

Howard, meanwhile, crawled on his belly through the smokescreen. "Never a boring day in Dewford? I'll make sure this cat sits behind a cell for eternity." What crimes could he get this Perrserker on? Petty theft? Breaking and entering? Jaywalking?

Definitely the latter.

While the archaeologist crawls through the smoke, something perches itself on his back. It’s heavy, and Arceus does it every reek. The thing chuckles to himself, getting comfortable wearing Howard’s hat. It’s taken his dignity, it’s taken his hat, it’s taken near everything at this point that can be taken.[break][break]
Heh heh heh…har!” The Perrserker raises a mug he has acquired from someone and takes a drink. The cat’s drinking. As the smoke clears and Navy sees this amidst the catfight, he breaks out in an ear splitting laugh.[break][break]
Holy shit. Har!” He echoes the cat’s cry.[break][break]
The Perrserker blinks. Cocking his head to one side, he studies Navy from atop Howard. Meowth are going at it all around them. It’s a life or death battle, at least in a cat’s world. Raising a leg, he bats away a Meowth that got too close. The cat goes flying off the roof, landing in a pile of trash below.[break][break]
Har?” Perrserker asks.[break][break]
Har.” Navy agrees. “Harward Slayte.” He taps Howard on the shoulder. The cat kicks back and falls into a giggle fit.

It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair. Why did Navy get to be chummy chums with the Perrserker, while Howard was treated like garbage? If Howard had Navy's beard, the cat would've shaved it off and worn it like a hat. Was it Navy's infectious charisma? An act of Arceus? Fate fucking him over? All three seemed reasonable.

Then, to cap it all off, Harward Slayte.

Haha, funny! A clever bit of wordplay from Navy. That eighth grade education was coming in handy today. Howard would be laughing as he tossed them both into the ocean. It would've been funny, had Howard been wearing his hat. A hat was like a disguise for the brain, and Howard was lacking his. What was a man without a disguised brain?

Nothing.

"Har har." Howard laughed in an agreeable tone as he got to his feet. As the laughing continued, Howard rolled his eyes at his Bronzor and checked his watch. If he was right...

Out of nowhere, the Perrserker was struck by a Future Sight that Howard's Bronzor used earlier in the fight. As the cat rolled slightly, Howard leaned over at it and recovered his hat.

"Har." Howard stuck his tongue at it, and walked back to Navy, grumbling about 'Harwards',

Haaaar!” Perrserker cries, rolling in pain from the predicted attack. Even the pain only seems to make him laugh. This paragon of his kind crawls up onto Navy’s shoulder and laughs a merry laugh.[break][break]
Come on, man. Chill. Assuming this is our guy, he’s just a weird cat.” Navy makes no secret of his relief. This could have been much worse.[break][break]
You saw all the crap that’s down there in Eternatus, right?” Up here, with no one but the cats to hear them, there’s no point in keeping the true name of the Ultra Deep Sea a secret. Looking out across the waves, he ponders the monster sleeping beneath the waters.[break][break]
Could’ve been something dead from the ocean. Could’ve been a human stealing everything. Instead, it’s just a rowdy, living Pokemon.” Looking at the Perrserker, he waves a stern finger. “No more stealing. You want something, come to me. I’ll see what I can do.”[break][break]
Har…” Perrserker slumps his little shoulders.[break][break]
…he is stinky. You’re right ‘bout that.

"He messed with the hat." Howard said simply, before deflating. Man, being angry was hard. It was easy when his hat was lacking, but with the head warmer planted squarely on his noggin, Howard felt content and happy again. Despite rent being due, and Team Rocket, and the Ultra Deep Sea, and...

He was happy. Leave it at that.

Nonetheless, the archaeologist was turned away from Navy and Perrserker. After several moments of soul searching that would make even Arceus proud, Howard turned around and sighed. "You're right. Fine. Listen here, cat. Mess with the hat again, and I'll introduce you to my good friend Ayer. He's pretty good at pulling in cats with the power of magnetism. It's like this funky sciencey stuff. It's basically magic."

Howard was having a conversation with a cat right now. Navy was talking with the cat. The cat was talking back. Navy understood the cat. This seemed like the start of a really bad joke, but it was unfortunately real. They were teaching the cat about electromagnetism. Howard didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Point is, it'll totally ruin your style, unless you want to become part of his nose hair. Be chill, and I'll get you a hat. A real nice one, that rich people wear. If not..." Howard shrugged. "Who nose what'll happen?"
