[action, Entertainment District]
[It is high noon.
The people of Union bustle about the Entertainment District, ducking into the Lucky Punch for a quick game of slots or checking out the upcoming programming scheduled by the Theaters. All is as it should be. All is as it should be... save in a single, silent street. Those who enter this small avenue will find that some sort of horrific mass carnage has struck - bodies lie sprawled on the ground, deathly still where they have fallen, arranged haphazardly as if struck down by some unseen force. Their eyes are closed, their bodies are still, and....... their mouths are snoring.
...They are asleep.
The only movement here comes from a Swadloon, idly shuffling along the ground and occasionally poking at some of the sleeping citizens. Here and there, if some unfortunate soul happened to have been consuming lunch at the time of the incident, the Pokémon will push them aside and quickly grab their food, returning to the side of a young boy with blonde hair leaned up against a building before beginning to eat.
Within about 5 minutes, the victims will slowly return to their senses. Grass Whistle isn't the most effective sleep-inducing move out there, but it's certainly suited Swadloon's purposes.]
[voice]
[Later that day, an apologetic voice speaks out.]
Um....
I'm sorry about what happened at lunch. I didn't realize... I just thought he was having fun.
But, um, just in case anyone doesn't know... if you see a Swadloon trying to play music with a leaf... you should probably stop it.
((Feel free to have been put to sleep or to stumble on the scene!))

Weird things happened sometimes in a city of Pokemon.]
Maybe you should keep a few of the same on you, just in case...

[Which is the other reason she's so worried about it.]

[Lucas suddenly understands. ...He searches a little harder now as he scours as much of the street as he can.]
...'loon.
Huh?
[Dozer has returned to its cache of food. There is a piece of paper stuck to some jam.]
...................Um. Is that -- ....
no subject
[Yep, looks like they found it. The jam is a little unfortunate, though.]
I wonder if I can clean it off...
no subject
[Never mind. He doesn't really want to know.]
I'm sorry about the sleeping. ...And the charm. .......And the jam. Um. Is there anything I can do to make it up...?
no subject
...She'll wash her face when she gets home.]
No, it's okay. You helped me look for it, that's enough.
no subject
......OK then.]
Well - I'll make sure Dozer doesn't do anything like that again.
[Dozer whistles innocently.]
I guess Dozer was a better nickname than I thought...
But, um -- if you want to stop by the Medical Center sometime, maybe some of the doctors can run some tests. I think we have some Ghost experts around...

I mean, we do have people who are Cursed by Ghosts sometimes, and they come out OK. There might be something they can do for you, too.
I'm not really an expert on that type of thing, but I think it might be worth trying.

[Lucas smiles.]
My name is Lucas, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

[Lucas will smile and nod before scooping up Dozer and turning away with a wave.
......
An awkward turn back, a scooping up of all the trash Dozer had left behind, and now he is gone for real.]
