You hold out the Crystal Ball for the Pichu to see. It looks at it curiously, grabs it in its tiny hands... and hits you in the head with it. The tiny electric mouse then goes back to smiling cutely.
A gruff chortle rings in the air; it seems the Slaking is having a laugh at your expense. Nonetheless, the Pichu does nothing more than smile.
What are you going to do?
EDIT: How do I keep missing people?
Hypotenuse Man
You sprint past the other Pokemon in the corridor and scramble through the left door. No sounds are audible from behind you - perhaps your pursuers have given up?
You turn your attention to the room... or perhaps it would be more correctly called a closet. The place is barely three feet wide in either direction. There's nothing to see but a few mops and some cleaning solvent, although you do notice an age-worn hole in the ceiling above you. If you could just climb these shelves, perhaps you could make some headway...
