Birdnanigans

Recaps of some of the drama that birdmons & relatives get into. Merle, Salamence, and the Silly Pidgey are some of the most common participants, with Rufus and Jab putting in a fair showing too.

Notes

• The Silly Pidgey appears to run a bakery with strong ties to the Mafia
• Salamence is the Keymaster of the Fortree City Jail, though Access holds the keys

The Scyther At Large

• A Scyther is on the loose in Summerland, and has kidnapped Mix and Gattaca! Naturally, Salamence is on the lookout.
• She recruits Marmalade for assistance, and the two are accosted by the Silly Pidgey, who also wants the Scyther out of the way
• Merle picks up the case, and investigates the city
• Turns out, it was all a scam, and the Silly Pidgey recruited the Scyther to assist her in eliminating other bird-run businesses in the city. The Altaria Police are summoned at the Silly Pidgey is jailed...for now.

Jailbreak

• The Silly Pidgey has planted bombs in Altru Park, and refuses to talk unless she's jailbroken from the Sandgem Bird Sanctuary for the Criminally Avian. Naturally, Merle and Access take a trip onto the wrong side of the law to help her out
• Upon breaking her out, it turns out that the bombs were merely delicious chocolate cake bombs. That said, a Xatu with a grudge, Father X, arrives, aiming to take over the Silly Pidgey's business by shooting dead everyone at the scene
• A Magic Room keeps the gun from working, and the day is saved!

Coherent Waves of Grain

• Basket & Merle must break out of the Fortree Jail and stop them!
• Plot Twist! Salamence is, in fact, the Silly Pidgey's Aunt!
• Plot Twist 2x Combo! The Silly Pidgey is not the Silly Pidgey, but was kidnapped and replaced by the Silly Zoroark, out to take over her baking business!

Kansas City Shuffle

• Basket & Must join up with Vilkas to investigate a disturbance in Petalburg Forest.
• Presta, Sol and Ton's Mrs. Mime, tries to lure Ever and Must into some sort of trap on the seafloor.
• Wait, two Musts?!
• The one with Ever turns out to be the Silly Zoroark, who escapes with Presta in an imaginary submarine.

A Beautiful Wedding

• The Silly Pidgey has vanished on her wedding night!
• Merle is in a box, so it falls to rookie investigator Narrow to solve the case!
• Estoc the Dewpider is brought along for the ride!
• As well as more serious investigators Kofun the Bronzor and a Vigilante Woodpecker from the Bronze Birds!
• Investigating the crime scene in Melemele Meadow turns up no clues, until Kofun interrogates the Bomb Disposal Snorlax but is interrupted by Narrow attacking the witness, revealing he kidnapped her!
• Narrow really didn't make any deductions but the case was closed and the Silly Pidgey and Child X can get married!

• Team Skyclaw has to take a mission with a family of Gulpin °3° inviting people to their homes. No other team has ever returned from that mission.
• As it turns out the Gulpin are innocent - there is a bandit team ambushing the various teams.
• Salamence feels Shahinne is in danger!
• Oh noes! The evildores are about to be defeated but one of them eats Shahinne!
• Salamence and Roc save the day and Salamence is happy that lil'bird is safe and everything else around is destroyed, so it's all a good day of work.
