Russel smiled and looked between Isak and his Umbreon. "Good choice, rookie. Any other Pokemon you have that can help scout out areas within the lab the thief might use to get in?" He asked before he turned to the Professor. "And you, do you by any chance know the layout of the lab or have a little map of it or something? I'd like to try and block this thief's chances of breaking in." He said before he walked around lightly to look at the other employees present in the lab.
"One more thing: I suggest we do put all the Pokemon in a box, but hide them somewhere they wouldn't suspect, Arcanine's also got a good sense of smell." He said as he decided to get out the latter's Pokeball and let him out of it. "Now... knowing that thieves might try to blind people for easy pickings, I assume this 'expert' might try to use a move to cover the place with gas; does anyone have a Pokemon with Gust or Whirlwind in their arsenal?" He asked in a serious tone.
