[Keeping Up With the Next Generation: An All-Purpose Guide to All That Stuff Those Kids From Other Regions Keep Talking About.

That's the name of the book Kris is reading in some weird and strangely specific library. Some other hits she sees in the shelves are How (Not) to Deal With Meddling Kids in Caps, It's Not All Black and White, The Series of Guys That Cramped My Style And Messed With My Social Life, and Hot Enemy Problems: Part 1.

But it's a large library. A huge library. The possibilities are endless... and very specifically tailored to everyone's needs.]

A "Woobat", huh? [Hang tight Fuzzbi, there is an art to this and you need the right opening to drop a pick-up line in.

...Also he's still holding that book isn't he--attempts to subtly keep the book title hidden when he sits down.] Not much, mostly just glancing through random stuff here. Did you find any other interesting books like the one about Woobat?

[She doesn't even notice. If she was a little bit more well-rested, she'd tease and ask him about it, but nope. Fuzzbi's content to wait on her trainer's open book.]

Take a look. There's... some kind of weird battle style in Unova with three Pokémon on the field. I don't know how they keep track of them. But it's pretty neat. A lot of attractions there too. Something called a Battle Subway, where you battle on trains... [She waves her hand to one of the books, smartly named Triple Trouble and Trains: A Guide To Unova's Battle Styles.] I want to know everything about Fuzzbi's region. Oh, and there's an encyclopedia of Pokémon from that region too if you want to see that.

[Dawn's got literally everything on Unova splayed out on this table of hers. Things that are important to her anyway.]

A "Battle Subway", huh? [People battling on trains that just sounds crazy. (And awesome)

Jun reaches across the table for the encyclopedia to glance through.] These are some pretty interesting looking Pokemon--oh, this one kind of looks similar to Pachirisu, doesn't it?

[Pointing out a page on Emolga, which looks like...well, a flying-squirrel version of the Pachirisu we have in Sinnoh.]

[She spares it a glance, then leans closer to study it. Whoa.]

It really does! Like someone took a bat and put its wings on one of them... That's weird. Maybe they're related?

Maybe? [But he doesn't see anything written here about it evolving from or being related to Pachirisu, so maybe it's just a coincidence?] It looks like the wings help give it a better advantage in battle since it can do flying type moves too in addition to electric attacks.

It must get crushed pretty easily by rocks, then. [It's... so cute. Dawn bites her cheek and looks away. She wants one. Fuzzbi is cute too. Why are all Unova Pokémon so cute?]

... What sort of habitat does it stay in?

[Next time he spies a Unova Pokemon, he might be tempted to catch one himself now.]

Uh, let's see... [Reading a little bit further.] It looks like they can usually be found living in trees outside of some of the cities?

So maybe a forest...

[There was a forest here. She knew this. Good. As she's straightening up, stretching her arms, she's got a totally serious voice. But it still sounds kind of tired.]

Jun. Let's look for one. Fuzzbi might like a friend from a region her kind's familiar with... even if she was probably born here.

[Well, Jun has no problem with going to look for more Pokemon, except...]

Okay--uh, but are you feeling alright? You still look kind of tired.

[Yeah, Fuzzbi thinks so too. Chirrup!]

I'll have you, so there's no reason to worry, right? I'm okay. [Dawn smiles a little, standing. Wobbly. She's good! She's good.]

If you're sure...but if you need a hand or someone to lean on, look no further than us, okay?

[And he'll be sure to hold the door open for her too once they take their leave from the library. XD]

Right. I'll remember that. Thanks.

[Okay, to find the forest they go! Fuzzbi's taken a shine to Jun, so his head's her pillow. It's also a reminder to try those pick up lines when he gets the chance. She's a pushy girl.

... Right? Right. They'll go right.]

[He finds he doesn't mind Fuzzbi sitting on his head--his hair is practically a bird nest anyway.]

I think it's over here somewhere? [Was it that door? Let's try that door.]

[She'll follow him! Slightly sluggishly.]

I hope it's not too hard to find. Emolga, I mean. [Not awake enough for this!]

Yeah, same. [Jun opens a nearby door thinking he found the one with the forest from before in it, but then quickly shuts it when what looks like a cloud of dust and sand nearly hits him in the face, which he shakes away with a hand.]

Ack, doubt it was in there though--that room was rather sandy-looking.

[But maybe that room will have something interesting to look for later. As for the forest maybe he got it mixed up with another door down this hallway?]

[She'll make a note of it. Dawn'll take this one for herself--

Nope, snowy. She peers in for a moment, unbothered by the cold, then shuts the door.]

Not this one, either. Too cold.

[Maybe the door across from it?]

[Let's try it...oh!]

Hey, this one looks like a forest! [If we're lucky, hopefully it's the right one, but they'll only know by looking. He'll hold the door open wider for her. After you?]

[She nods her thanks at him, Fuzzbi leaving her perch on Jun's head to follow her trainer inside.]

Let's see. If I was a flying Pachirisu, what would my perfect tree be? Or maybe... in the grass? [Time to search! She'll take the grass, since he tops her in height.]

Okay--I'll try to look and see if there's any in the trees.

[Fuzzbi do make sure your trainer doesn't fall asleep in the grass okay, meantime Jun is going to walk over here to try to glance upward into these trees. Hopefully it would just be Emolga in the trees though--he's kind of keeping an eye out to make sure there isn't anything less friendly up there like hiding Beedrills or something, but he's not too worried since he's sure he'd be able to take care of it.]

[Fuzzbi will do her best!

Fuzzbi could not do it! The grass is much too soft and the room warm. It's just a little powernap. Dawn'll be fine. Besides, she has a comfy Growlithe pillow, though the Pokémon is kind of weirded out by the girl. Just go on til you find one, Jun, her Woobat can bee trouble away.]

[Good Woobat. After a few more minutes or so, Jun will be making his way back.]

Hey Dawn, I think I found...uh... [Really Dawn. Are you using a random Growlithe as your pillow while sleeping in the grass.]

Dawn?

Edited 2013-06-06 23:00 (UTC)

[There's nothing ladylike about the way she's drooling. The Growlithe isn't happy at all either, but he can't... move. He's stuck, a victim of her fatigue. Fuzzbi's happy Jun's back because can you wake her up.]

Nnn...

[Maybe not ladylike, but at least it's kind of cute?]

Hey, Dawn. [Leaning down to shake her arm a little, try to see if that helps.] As comfy as it might be, you should probably wake up now...

[She swats his hand away lightly, but she's coming to enough for the Growlithe to squirm away from her and dash back into the grass.]

Nn? What? Why... [... Nnnn? Oh. Middle of the wilderness with Barry? No, not Barry. Jun. Jun's his name. Not wilderness, just a room. Right. Hi Fuzzbi thanks for the nuzzles.] Sorry.

No need to apologize--I take it you didn't get enough sleep last night or something? [That's his guess anyway.] Do you want to go somewhere to rest once we're done here?

[Maybe if we're lucky there's a room full of pillows around here or something.]
