"There were a couple of DemiDevimon in a trenchcoat and they were trying to pretend to be something big and mean and attack, so then we defended ourselves, and then one of them evolved, and he beat up my Tamer real bad so I had to set him on fire!" Pucchiemon says with a dramatic point at Evilmon. "Only to protect my Tamer, you see. Look how beat up he is! Just look at him!"

Hajime's initial impulse upon being presented with the police is to leave the area very quickly without saying anything, but Pucchiemon is holding his arm and preventing him from doing so. The fact that he's had the crap kicked out of him is also preventing him from doing so. He's just standing there stone-faced with his greenish scrapes and bruises, ready for the ground to open up and swallow him. "What he said."
