Xerox is a Zoroark, though probably not your typical Zoroark. For one, for nearly over half of his life he'd been masquerading as a human, living amongst them as if one their own. For a good reason of course, all he wanted to become a detective, solving crimes like his famous hero in the books he love so much. However all that change when he was suddenly transported to a new world full of colorful ponies along with other Pokemon and humans, who are suddenly now Pokemon. Now he has to adapt to this new setting and world while trying to still keep to his old life as much as he can. The question is, do they need of a Pokemon Detective?
A side story for Zeusdemigod131, "A New World, a New Way".
Thanks for tdnpony for editing.

Got any question for Xerox or Scarlet? >Go here<
Oh that timing
This is getting good. Looking forward to the rest of it!
Yet another story about a dark type... Can't wait for more of this the sequel to absolution! :D
Good chapter so far!
A panicked mind lead to rushed and poor actions and thoughts
well I don’t think she realized they don’t understand her.
human speech and their's.
You two caused a bit of a stir in my town. I’m wondering if you could provide any answers of why you are here.
And now I'm tired of pointing them out.
Still a decent enough story.
there is something wrong with that sentence.
And there were a lot more, on all three chapters.
If I were on my pc, I would point them out all, but in is nearly impossible on phone.
You should get some pre-reader or at least quickly scan it all for mistakes. I didn't noticed any painfull misspellings, just those sentences with weird word order, or tenses changing in the middle of them.
As a story is is nice one, it is nice to see another person taking different turn on this matter (it is like third story that didn't followed standard theme and I am thankful for that. there are like 7 stories about the same thing in this setting. )

Yeah... I know my grammar isn't that great and I differently need more pro-readers for this. But thank you for liking the concept. I always try to do something with a twist.
5008581 if you want I can proofread for you. I don't have that much time over the next fortnight but after that I can read over it for you.
Just message me and ill help.
5010173
Sure, I'll keep that in mind
I don't want to sound like a grammar-nazi but I spotted several grammatical errors in your story.
5016146
5016499
Yeah... not really surprising. I got editor and he is doing his best, but some still slip through... I'm guessing tenses because I have trouble with those.
Um... Was the bisharp covered in blood? Any actual proof that he was in the residence. They couldn't prove guilt in any case. To bad our hero is trying to prove innocence.
5018120
Remember, it was raining, potently washing blood away and Maxim said he found foot prints matching Lance's near the house. It might not be proof to prove his guilt, but enough for an arrest.
Things are starting to happen
i'm excited.
Hm, I wonder who this Sanitary is? She could have committed the murder.
I find myself wanting to know more about Xerox, particularly why he wanted to live like a Human & why such a thing had to be kept secret in the Pokemon world.
Did Pokemon not have the right to have jobs without a trainer being involved? Was it the same for owning property? Is this something that the games established or is it unique to this story?
Anyway, it looks like Lord Arceus has done Xerox a huge favour by allowing him a chance to freely practice his skills, but I can't help but feel that he wouldn't approve of his ability to disguise himself as a Human, not to mention how other Pokemon or Human-turned-Pokemon would react.
5054957 while Arceus
there's a Lord... in his title...
sorry. while Lord Arceus might not be happy with his disguise ability. he cant really do much about that. any pokemon that can transform or create illusions can use their memories of humans to make them self or others humans. its using a natural power in a way that the user desires. Arceus can ask nicely for them to stop, but if its involuntary then he cant help it. neither can the pokemon
science nut...
I liked the premise, but there seem to be a lot of grammar mistakes that prevent me from really enjoying the story. The biggest issue appears to be verb tenses.
Also,
I'm pretty sure he wasn't fishing in his apartment...
5082547
Yeah... tenses always get to me... and it was supposed to be dabbed. Thank you for pointing that out.
And then he sneezed
I think you meant intact
I love the story so far, I'm a big fan of murder mysteries.
Ahhhh... childhood... I never did anything like that. I just pulled apart our family computer.
5191593 Your avatar matched that comment perfectly.
*snap*
Aaaaaaaaannnndddd I just realized how much Arceus/I fucked up.
Good chapter though.
5211749
Really, that thought or scenario never occurred to you? Huh, well thank you for the comment anyways :)
5211813 Nope
Didn't really think about Pokemon eating each other when I started this thing, that came along when you and Ed joined in, now it's slowly fueling my descent into madness as I am unable to block countless horrors that could occur to my characters (current and planned.)
5211832
Ah, well if you need any help you know who to call
5211842 Ghostbusters
sorry
5212497
I ain't afraid a no ghost.

I hope that Pidgeot was one of the Goldeen's partners. I still can't believe that pokemon actually eat other pokemon in this universe, especially since all pokemon can speak a universal language.
5211749
5211813
I actually had a one shot idea for the universe that revolved around that very scenario.
But anyways, fridge horror. The Pokémon world is good at it.
Really? So you mean you accidentally slashed her across the chest multiple times, cut off her hooves, and destroyed her equipment? Forgive me for not believing that.
Those puns are bad, and you should feel bad
Also, it should be Gligarman Begins
img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110328065949/superheroes/images/7/73/Gligarman.png
Fun fact, while obviously he was a reference to Batman, his actual name was Mr. Parker, a reference to Spiderman aka Peter Parker
Oh, God, I can't breathe! Am I a horrible person for finding this hysterical?
Oh. Ooooohhhhh. Right. Abby's parent... Now I feel bad...
5275426
Actually the Zubatman was a reference to a YouTube video.
Well, it's as they say: No rest for the wicked.
Lady, smacking a giant snake with a purse isn't exactly the smartest thing, whether she's a pokemon or just a normal one. I know your hysterical and probably just throwing a fit out of desperation, but level heads are best here.
Good chapter.
i like this story, but u need to go back over it and with an editor this time...some of ur phrasing and wording is...well, its a little 'chunky'...to be honest...and thats just in this chapter...such as here...
the words usually and sometimes shouldnt be used in the same sentence like that...its just confusing...ur saying what normally happens only happens some of the time...huh?
pick one and keep it, the other is redundant and unnecessary
5390887
Yeah, grammar structure is not my strong point... still, thanks for the comment and liking this story. Hopefully I'll get better as time goes on.
5004253 It's actually just theirs. Their's means their is, or is referring to Their possessing something. I think.
that mare has got more problems than just her missing son...its almost like she wants him to be eaten...
helicopter mooooooooooooooom
Seriously though, really, a leash? Aren't those supposed to be joke products? I'm kinda surprised no one flinched at her keeping her child on a leash. Good chapter, though.
5534597 Eh, my mom used to do it to me, and rightfully so, I was there one minute, gone the next when I was a tyke.
5536518
My brother was LEGENDARY at vanishing. He would vanish any time my mom took her eyes off him. He always found his way back, though, somehow. And even then, Mom never used a leash.
I guess what I'm saying is, there are other solutions. Kids, don't put your children on a leash.
...that Foal deserve a harsh talking to...
typical brat 'rebel', thinking hes all that...and against a Scollopede? one of the stronger Bug/Poison Types...and more useful than some others i could name....
