Zeva and Fire went to the house of her Klefki neighbor who has moved away but the house phone was strangely used recently before Ace, the ex-jedi dissappeared after searching for the Scurrier Gang. Both of them knew there was something suspicious about the tip that was given to Ace, perhaps the Scurriers made that tip to lure him, yes that must be it. They went into the house and saw that the house was broken at the back entrance, at least Ciel and Watson are able to convince the guildmasters to investigate this matter.

Once in the house, there are no fingerprints around it seems, strange, they have gloves perhaps and packed every tools they got to break in.

"Your neighbor has a pretty nice house" Watson said

"Yes, got lucky at gambling and bought this place"

"I'm surprise he's still alive and got spared by bad luck"

The group went to the bedroom

"Huh, so those are posters he was talking about"

"What about them?"

"Nothing Detective Ciel. He forgot to bring them, maybe I'll tell him"

The Oshawott stares at the "Threats in the highway" poster for a bit

"'Are you vulnerable?' Does not make sense of putting it next to a motivational poster. Pretty eerie"

Zeva decided to check on the telephone for any fingerprints, suddenly something sprinkled out from the hollowed part. White dust it seems, Ciel noticed as well and wore some gloves.

"It's marble" The Raichu scientist said, she takes a look at the receiver for a little bit, there are tiny cracks on the part where you hold the phone. It looks like someone has too much grip on it to the point it is about to crack form the squeeze.

Fire Embertail then spots what appear to be the same marble dust on the drawer, right next to a tablet with a slight crack which at least wasn't obscuring the screen that much. Watson then opend the tablet to see if there are any clues. Hmm, there is an app that seems to have track security cameras that are installed at the house, convient.

He looked at the activity around the date before Ace disappeared, the group saw something they weren't expecting. It is a female vulpix, anthro, wearing a red and grey dress, holding what seems to be a ruby. She broke the glass door with a kick.

"That vulpix looks familiar, is it the thing from the broadcast" Fire muttered

The figure then went up the bedroom and looked around, admiring the posters for a second before glancing at the phone. Before the vulpix can grab the receiver, the tablet flashed for a battery charge.

"Damn-"

"The bed! The bed!" Ciel suddenly yelled as beneath it is a head of a glaceon. He wasn't able to take a good look at it as in a split second, it quickly retreated away from his view. A loud wooden crunch was heard, Watson and Ciel pushed the bed to see a slightly medium-sized hole. They see a tail and another one belonging to a shiny glaceon.

The group ran down to find the 2 glaceons that spied on them and but are gone. The group circled around the house, finding no one in sight

"Who were those two?"

"Don't know, but looks like we have found who got Ace"

"Fire, contact Pepper, Ginger. We are conducting a search for him"

Desc. Transcendental Recognition Dysfunction tape

Investigation notes:

Tape is severely damaged and it can not be played, transcript is available:

Transcendental Recognition Dysfunction is a fatal mental illness that has been making a return in the recent months

[3 images appear, one is minimalistic human and a Pikachu that are colored opaquely white, the minimal Togekiss with a red hexagon with a minimalistic eye inside it. The Togekiss has a faded white color merging with the green background]

[A [Data Expunged] sound was then emitted from the Togekiss and then it disappears including the gemstone]

T.R.D. is a result of Pokemon who had exposure or subjection to verbal information that is not desired to be known.

The rate of emotional and mental deterioration in T.R.D. Pokemon is currently 97%. Some are reported to commit suicide. If you are diagnosed, do not worry!

Humans are rarely affected by this due to the Pokemon-related forbidden knowledge they commonly use and Pokemon being the Decepquidems' common targets. This partial immunity can apply to human-turned Pokemon unless they have a Pokemon who has an important emotional and mental attachment to their lives was targeted or alternatively, forbidden knowledge relating to Time itself in which both species have no immunity of.

Mental therapy by Psychic-type Pokemon can cure T.R.D. It is recommended to seek a Psychic-type in your fellow guild or recruiting one

Here are the steps of avoiding T.R.D. if you are a human

-Do not think of pessimistic thoughts about the fate of your Pokemon, yourself and others

-Staying with, having a healthy relationship and assuring the protection of your Pokemon is important

-Avoid unnecessary beliefs in philosophical implications

-Do not believe that there are Legendary Pokemon, no exceptions

Here are the steps of avoiding the disorder's root causes if you are a Pokemon

-Follow the same steps from the human protocol but apply it to your Pokemon subconsciousness

-Avoid exceedingly frequent religions and abandon your Arceus-related religious practices. This step is similar to the 4th step

-If you have a Pokemon that has hypnosis/mind-control abilities in your neighborhood, report them to the authorities immediately and report any suspicious activities. Its better safe than sorry
