Sylv points with one of his feelers at a person in front of them, carrying bags and just going about their day. That is, if you ignore that little flash of pink. Lutgarde's immediately on it, and the Sylveon follows - they've dealt with pickpockets on the regular, and especially of the pokémon variant.

Before the Impidimp could escape with its loot, the duo has it surrounded. "I think you have something that doesn't belong to you," Lutgarde says, their hand shooting forward quickly to grab the pokémon by the neck and quickly wrangle the wallet out of its hands. "I'm not even sure you actually have a use for that?"

The Impidimp struggles in Lutgarde's strong hold, but the ranger doesn't budge as they turn to the inattentive person, getting their attention and returning the wallet. The person is grateful, and quickly scurries away, now looking out for their belongings more, the ranger can only hope. Sylv in the meanwhile has talked to the Impidimp, and seemingly reached a conclusion.

"If you're in trouble, there's people and pokémon you can reach out to, I'm sure - stealing shouldn't happen again, okay?" The Impidimp nods, seemingly rueful, at Lutgarde's parting words.

A job well done, the ranger-pokémon duo turns, and ...

It seems like the pokémon was only rueful that it has been caught.

Even Lutgarde and Sylv, each with their less or more successful attempts at endless patience, were looking at the very same Impidimp with slightly helpless looks. "So, buddy. It wasn't really clever of you to get caught twice. In a day. By the same people." The duo exchanges a look, and reach the same conclusion at the same time.

"You're coming home with us - if you'd like. We'll get you some food, and who knows, maybe you can put your little sleight of hand tricks to use?" Lutgarde takes out a pokéball as well as a berry as an offering. "Deal?"
