The Baltoy Appears Again

"Togepi, Togepi."

Togepi looked resolutely at Jigglypuff, then carefully handed over the microphone.

"Jigglypuff?!"

Jigglypuff immediately began to question it.

"Togepi..."

Togepi shook its head, and under Jigglypuff's repeated questioning, it "reluctantly" managed to recount the whole sequence of events.

An earth-yellow Pokémon had not only snatched their Berries, but in the end had even tried to grab this microphone. However, it had stubbornly used its own body to protect it, which was why the other party failed to get it.
