"First thing's first - I've got a Meowth to find." You say.

If anyone would have any inkling where Latias is or the asshole who attacked her, it'd be him.

"A Meowth?" Martha repeats, taken aback by this seeming non-sequitor.

"That's right." You confirm. "You'll see."

Once you've all dried off and dressed again, you head out to see your mum and check on Kay O-o.

He certainly looks banged up after his skirmish, barely cracking an eye to look at you when you call his name to wake him up and only giving you a dejected sounding rumble as he sees you.

"You did good, Kay O-o." You assure him. "You did good."

You stay with him while he drifts off again before your mothers shoos you out of the back to let him rest, before she shakes her head when you explain why you flew all this way with a storm behind you.

"I can't really say I approve of you taking such a big risk, but I can't really say I'm surprised either." She admits and shakes her head.

"Do you have any idea where Meowth might be?" You ask, rather than justify the risk you took or ask what she means.

"If I were to guess, he'll probably be conning an extra meal down at the pub." Your mother replies.

You nod.

That certainly sounds like Meowth.

"Alright, thanks." You reply, before pausing. "...Do you mind if my friends come around to stay tonight?" You ask before you forget.

"The house isn't in a livable state right now. That stupid boy and his Tyranitar compromised the stability of the house with their stunt." She explains. "We're staying with the Fairburns for the time being, or else here at the pokemon center."

You grimace.

Another reason to hold a grudge against this 'Lawrence' guy, or whoever he is.
