Good twilight, Ron Burgundy is off tonight. I am Veronica Corningstone.
Tonight's top story: Three armed men wearing ski masks stole over
20,000 in a daring early morning robbery. Two suspects have been named:
Bulbasaur and
Caterpie. In trying to identify a third suspect, police have been looking into the behavior of a certain
Rattata, who goes by the nickname "La Rata". Early reports indicate this may be false, however. The Pokémon Latino Caucus is up in arms in what they call "blatant Poképrofiling"
We'll keep you posted as more details emerge.
In other news, activists have taken to the streets in opposition to changing the city's slogan from "Gotta catch em all" to "Gotta catch some of them, but mostly battle with big kaiju battles." Things have gotten a bit hectic downtown, with complaints of some trying to take advantage of the situation; many citizens have called into question a local group known only as the "Squirtle Squad," accusing them of vandalizing the local PokéPark. Police state that
Squirtle, the leader of this group, has come forward to the police station to share all he knows. Squirtle is suspected of a crime, but early reports say there is no evidence of wrongdoing. New city regulations banning the detention of certain Pokémon, while heated, have not yet spilled out into violence, as protests have been mild mannered as of yet. We are hopeful that the situation resolves itself peacefully and that the perpetrator of these scandalous, vandalous acts is correctly found.
In a feel good story, the winner of the annual Big City karaoke competition was Jigglypuff! Her singing really knocked the competition out. We sat down for an interview with Jigglypuff to get the scoop on who they really are. Sadly, we seem to have lost all footage from this event, as our camera crew says they "don't remember what happened." This is not the first time that interviewers have been accused of sleeping on the job in capturing the words of this up and coming singing sensation. Who is Jigglypuff? Where did they come from? So many questions, and Big City News promises to get to the bottom of it.
And so from all of us at Big City News, I'm Veronica Corningstone, and thanks for stopping by, Big City.
