[Are you in Goldenrod City or its surrounding territories?]
[Then YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE THE LUCK to be approached by a small child in increasingly-grubby conditions as the day goes on. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson about approaching strangers by this point, but if he has, it's not stopping him.]
[He will approach anyone and everyone who stops long enough to make eye contact, but instead of challenging you to a Pokemon battle, he will instead thrust the image above, finger-painted on a scrap of filthy paper rather than a crappy .jpg at you. He's still got paint on his fingers. Maybe his beseeching puppydog-blue eyes (the most pitiful ones he can MANAGE) will outweigh the unintentionally-horrifying nature of the three portraits.]

Can I see what you look like so I know if I run into you? I promise I'll do the very same.
[Text --> Video]
[Wrath has literally never grasped the importance of stranger danger despite being kidnapped MULTIPLE TIMES.]
[Wrath needs an adult.]
[The video pops on and reveals Wrath in all his glory. Who knows what Ashley had been expecting after their last conversation, but what she GETS is a grubby, deathly-pale little boy with a wild, tangled mane of black hair (there's one or two visible leaves stuck in it) and blue eyes so intense that they're edging into purple territory.]
[He tilts the camera a couple of times until satisfied, peering at the screen to make sure it's on.]
Here I am.
[Text --> Video]
But still, she blinks for a moment before responding in kind, studying his eyes and his...accessory leaves, as it goes. A face to words, especially that well-meaning but severe advice he offered last time; what gives her pause, more than anything else, is that he really does look like the perfect mix of innocence and...what to call it, anarchy? Maybe.
Either way, she makes sure to offer a kind smile when she flicks on her camera, and a little wave.]
And here I am. If I find anything, I'll report it right to you, um... [...a name oh jeez he probably wrote it but-] Rath?
[She certainly tried.]
[Video]
[He lifts a hand and waves back, a little more listlessly than usual. He's normally a bundle of energy, but he's pretty worn out. Which she can probably tell, especially when he then uses the same hand to rub at one eye despite the fact that his knuckles are coated in dried paint.]
Yes, that's me. I'm Wrath.
[Video]
Well, Wrath, I'm Ashley, and I'll do whatever I can to help. Your friends' names, what are they again? Uh...Al...phonse, right? And...
[She's. She's leading somewhere with this, really.]
[Video]
Oh. Like ashes. Okay.
[He doesn't entirely understand the logic behind human naming schemes, but he knows what ashes are! He's been reduced to ashes on several occasions!]
Their names are Alphonse, Scar, and Greed.
[He repeats these names, fairly patiently. He's gotten used to doing that for everybody who asks.]
Re: [Video]
She nods along, alright. Alphonse, that's what she thought. Scar, that's a weird name, and-
...Oh.] Greed?
[Blink.]
Kind of...spiky hair, sharp teeth? That Greed? Oh, what am I saying, of course that Greed, it's not a common name... My gosh, I talked to him... Not recently, but.
[Video]
--YES! Yes, that's him! That's Greed!
He is mostly composed of spikes and sharp things.
If you talk to him again, will you tell him to come back to his house? His sharks are sad.
[Video]
I- of course, I will, I'll send him right along. I- like I said it wasn't recently but-- if I see him or hear from him, I'll...I'll kick his butt until he goes right back to you!
[Video]
... How long are your legs?
[... he's asking for a reason he swears]
[Video]
Uh. Not...very long...?
[Video]
Greed is very tall.
If you wanted to kick his butt, your legs would need to reach it.
[Video]
You know, fair.]
I'll. I'll use a ladder.
[Video]
[But he seems appreciative of the effort she's willing to put in.]
[Video]
[As long as the kid smiles, she's willing to deal with it.]
