While digging around the office I found some cold case files. I found old cases of missing Pokemon, stolen Gym badges, and ancient conspiracy theories. But another one caught my eye. Why? Because I remember this missing man from my older journeys:
Cold Case #78
Subject: Old Guy disappears and no one cares.
Date Opened: 4-3-2001
Date Dropped: 4-5-2001
Subject for closure: “We had other priorities.”
The document is simple and short, it just states this"
“Old Man Timber has gone missing on April, 2 2001. So has his Machop. Rumor has it, they were trying to lay the foundation for a building, but after years of work, and years of Machop pointlessly pounding the ground, Old Man timber didn’t have any money. Shoulda got a job in the meantime…”
So why did he go missing? Did he give up? Did he find somewhere else to build? Did his Machop kill him? I don’t think so.
His figure immediately brought back a memory. I ran home and searched for my old scrapbook, detailing all of my journeys. I came across the Mirage Island picture (an island that took me years to find) and found something so startling, my defense fell sharply!
Could this be Old Man Timber? I don’t even remember seeing him on Mirage Island, I was so focused on trying to correct my bad grammar. But if you compare the two pictures, the men look alike. I think Old Man Timber moved to Mirage Island in order to live in harmony with the Wynaut until he died. Its a logical guess. Anyway, after another busy day in the world of Pokemon News and Economics, CASE CLOSED.
Thanks to Silentninja for the old man sprite.
