[Click.

A big paw is batting at the Gear.]

Yang, stop playing with that.

[The Gear is showing the ceiling of an inn in Cherrygrove. A slender hand comes down on the camera briefly, and then the Gear is set on a table, and it shows Spencer Reid (considerably more calm now than he was on Sunday) walking back to the bed, where a very cranky Absol sits with a Munna egg wrapped in a warm towel next to him.

Also, there's half a library's worth of books piled around the room. No, seriously, if you put them all in one stack, it'd nearly be Reid's height.

Absol makes a irritable grunting noise.]

I know, I know, but we'll go out for some fresh air soon, promise. I just need to get through some more of these.

[He picks up a brick-sized book seemingly at random, sitting down on the bed with his legs crossed before placing the wrapped up egg in his lap. In retrospect, he probably shouldn't have taken one before he knew what he was doing, but he doesn't really trust the textbooks here that much and wants to make observations of development by himself.

Yes, someone has started to consider the possibility that he's not completely insane. Since he might not be insane, he wants to learn about where he is, and he wants to learn everything.

He opens up the book and started fanning through the pages, as if he were trying to find his spot, but he doesn't stop. He turns the pages so fast that he can't possibly be reading them, so it's unclear what he's doing.]

Give me half an hour. We'll go out then. And if you really want to, I guess we can go into the woods and find something for you to fight.

[...No, he still hasn't noticed that Yang turned on the Gear. People who told him this wasn't a prank should feel free to gloat and say they told him so.]

[Mio looks mildly suspicious, expecting him to press and pry, but-- But it doesn't come and she's able to relax after a moment.]

Hmm, maybe...That'd make sense. [She doesn't have much time to dwell on it though, because she grimaces the moment she steps outside and into the heat.]

Ugh. It's so hot. We probably shouldn't be out running around for too long. [Yami didn't seem to mind though as he was already walking ahead, happily going on his way, clearly looking forward to some training and running around, even if his trainer isn't as enthusiastic]

[Reid makes a beeline for the shade, squinting in the sunlight. Yang lopes behind him, practically prancing now that he has some fresh air.] I don't know how Yang can stand it with that thick coat of fur. Why don't we wander around the tall grass and find something for them to fight? That seems to be their primary source of exercise anyway.

[Mio makes an amused noise and follow, ushering Yami along when it looks like he might veer off out of distraction.]

People can really adapt, can't they... [She pats Yami on the head, expression thoughtful. A couple days ago she wouldn't have imagined being okay with this, treating it like it's normal, even if she still has a lot to get used to.

Getting some much-needed res had probably helped, and a quiet resignation that she's either gone mad from grief, or this really was some strange world she found herself trapped in.

With a quiet shake of her head she starts off, letting Yami run around ahead of her to look for other pokemon to pounce on while she loses herself in her own thoughts]

Spencer? When did you want to leave Cherrygrove? [She speaks up a little while later, looking around for him] Violet's supposed to have these ruins nearby, I think. You could probably examine them. [And Mio wants to have a chance at the gym leader, but she hardly wants to make this about her]

[Reid puts his hand in his pocket, cradling the egg in his elbow and frowning at the ground as Yang prances into the grass and starts looking around for a Pokemon to fight.]

I haven't really thought about it, to be honest. I still feel kind of disoriented. I don't think I want to stay here for long, though--not a lot of other people in our situation are in this town.

[Once Reid gets better about actually training his Pokemon, he'll probably want a go at the gym leader too, mostly because it just seems like something to do. Some kind of goal--get all the badges.

But at the mention of ruins, he actually perks up a bit.] Well, the history books here haven't been very helpful. Maybe the ruins would show more about what was here before us.

Most people end up in that city-- Goldenrod? That's where most people seem to stay, anyway.

[She glances at him, looking a little pleased at his interest in the ruins.] I think more things are talked about rather than written down. But the ruins are supposed to be pretty interesting. Something about puzzles there and weird pokemon.

Well, it's pretty natural for people to gravitate towards others in their own situation. Once a few people settled, more would naturally start settling in the same space.

I'd be interested in seeing the puzzles. It would give a look into the thought processes of older civilizations. I had almost lost hope that there were any remnants from before now.

I guess. [Mio trails off thoughtfully; truthfully she never thought about it. She would've thought people would be more likely to just keep moving on until they reached the end, then settle.]

It probably wouldn't take you very long to solve them though, if you can solve 'em as fast as you read. I hope you won't get too bored.
