"I've got an officer out checking out a suspect now, by the way," Charlie says, "I was going to call this evening."

"Well, let's go unpaint a Geodude." Bella hugs her dad again and heads out.

To Tiffany! Bella rides Branch again and leads Sherlock to the apartment block with the ice cream place nearby. The ice cream place has several Miltank in an adjacent yard.
Up the exterior stairs is apartment five. Bella puts Branch away and climbs and walks right in, revealing a pigtailed girl with two Pokéballs who says, "Hi?"
"Hi. I'm Bella Swanna, and this," she gestures at the presumably following Sherlock, "is my friend Sherlock, and we think his Ditto can get the paint off of Tiffany."
"Oh, that's great, she's been so embarrassed," says Tiffany's trainer.

"Can you really understand Pokémon, that's awesome," says Tiffany's trainer, pulling a sticker-decorated ball from her belt and releasing a Geodude. Tiffany has many artful little designs in various colors of nail polish on her surface, and a streak of distinctly artless spray paint.
"He really can," says Bella.
"He really can," says Bella.

"Hello again, Tiffany," says Sherlock. "It occurred to me that my Ditto, Mycroft, could probably polish off that paint if you wanted."
Tiffany stops trying to hide her painted face with her hands and says, "Duuuuude."

Sherlock produces Mycroft.
"Mycroft, meet Tiffany. She has had an unfortunate encounter with a spray can."
"To," says Mycroft, with dignity. He wobbles up to Tiffany and slurps on the streak of paint.
The paint cleans away easily. Mycroft turns its exact shade of blue. "Ditditdit," he giggles, wobbling back to Sherlock.

Tiffany tolerates slurping with only a little squirming. There is now a conspicuous gap in her decorative nail polish designs but no spray paint. "Geo," she says.

"Ditto," chirps Mycroft. Sherlock scoops him up and hugs him.
"While we're here," he says to Tiffany, "I wondered if I could ask you a few questions about that Shaymin you mentioned."

"A Shaymin?" says Tiffany's trainer, confused.
"Geodude?" says Tiffany.
"Geodude?" says Tiffany.

Of the two, Tiffany is the one Sherlock expects to get more information out of.
"Where were you when you battled it? Was it alone, or did it have someone with it?"

"Dude. Geogeogeodude. Duuuuude ge-geodude."
"Dude."
"Geeeeo."
"What did she tell you?" asks Tiffany's trainer.

"That she fought a Shaymin in Unova, and the Shaymin's trainer was a man wearing an unfamiliar white uniform with pale green trim who didn't talk much."
"Whooooa, I didn't know the guy I got her from was up to anything like that."
