[The transmission coming from Ash's Pokégear is particularly noisy today. Nearby, a Pokémon giggles. Some distance away, a woman sobs and a man panics.]

-ling you I'm sorry! I never intended to say it out loud, I was going to keep it to myself!

[That... was obviously the wrong thing to say, because the sobbing now gains in intensity.]

Look, just because I'm not desperate enough doesn't mean- Bouncy, turn that off.

[And turn that off, Bouncy does, just in time to spare the network an atrocious wail.]

There are chemicals that influence our thought processes enough to make lying more difficult. But their other effects would be impossible to miss, unless this world has a formula superior to those found in mine.

[Or a Pokémon that can replicate the effect. He frowns at that thought.]

I admit that frightens me. I do not like being controlled by anyone. (Ever.) Whoever is responsible should be held accountable.

They will be, if we ever find them. But that's always the most difficult part, isn't it? Unless some legendary Pokémon pops up to claim responsibility.

I have a few of my own that can keep an eye on Fuchsia. Along with a pair of Psychic-types to look out for any signs of mental interference.

That will have to do for the time being. I will keep to myself today and hope the effects pass.

I'd suggest doing that next Friday too, to be safe. Last week was... embarrassing, for many.
