"The Case of the Missing Backpack" is one of the main story-line events in Pokemon Alabaster. It takes place right after the time skip, when the protagonist and Cirrus studied in Nyejo Academy for two years.

## Summary

One day, after hanging out in their dorm room for a while, the protagonist gets called by one of their classmates when the former left their room.

According to their classmate, one of the protagonist's friends named Danny was looking for them and said she will be waiting for them at the school's cafeteria.

Upon meeting up with her, the protagonist learns that Danny's friend named Tara needs help looking for her missing backpack. The last location of it was at the school's gym after Tara left to train.

And so, the protagonist can choose to help out their classmates look for the missing backpack... though it turn out to be more trouble than it first seemed to be...

## Event

After the time skip cutscene, the protagonist must exit their dorm room (since there is much to do there). Once they left the room, one of their classmates will see them and tell them that Danny is looking for them. Your classmate will say that Danny will being waiting for them in the cafeteria.

After leaving the dormitory, the protagonist will need to go to the cafeteria (which is the building that is on the western side of the school). Inside, the protagonist can find Danny sitting next to another girl at one of the cafeteria tables.

Upon talking to Danny, you'll learn that the girl with Danny is called Tara. Tara had just lost her backpack after leaving it at the school's gym when she went to train her Pokemon. The girl tried looking for it, but to no avail. So Danny asked the protagonist to help her and Tara look for Tara's missing backpack.

After agreeing, the three of them will split up, but not before learning from Tara that her missing backpack is a white & purple backpack with a Skitty keychain attached to it.

The protagonist will then need to ask around the school to learn where the backpack is. The protagonist must talk to a blonde girl sitting on a bench near the girl's dormitory. Upon asking her for information, you'll learn from her that a rough-looking student named Guy had the backpack and went to the side of the girl's dormitory with two other students.

The protagonist will then need to confront Guy at that location. Guy will let the protagonist get the backpack. But upon doing so, Guy will push the protagonist to the wall and attack them with his Pokemon. The protagonist is then forced to have a Pokemon battle against Guy's Lotad and Croagunk.

Once the protagonist beats Guy, the latter will attempt to use his own brute force against the protagonist. However, the protagonist's starter Pokemon will pop out at repel Guy and his lackeys with an attack.

Then, the commotion attracts the security and the disciplinary teacher Mr. Ramstrong. Guy is then detained, sent to detention, and later expelled for his actions.

Once it was all over, the protagonist rested at the school's infirmary before being confronted by Danny and Tara, who were very worried for the protagonist's safety. They later thanked the protagonist for beating Guy and getting back Tara's backpack. Tara then asks the protagonist to meet her in front of the school's girl dormitory.

Upon meeting up with Tara there, the protagonist is then invited into Tara's room. From there, Tara thanks the protagonist again by giving them a Swablu egg because Tara believes the protagonist will do a better job of raising the Pokemon (and Tara herself isn't that confident of raising the egg well enough).

After that, the protagonist can leave the dormitory.
