Puzzle 003 - [Audio]

Does anyone know how to train a difficult Pokemon? Er, I mean, I don’t think Hoppip means to be difficult. I just don’t think he…understands a lot of what I try to tell him.

Hm, I haven’t heard from the Professor at all since I’ve been here. I’m guessing he’s really not here, huh? I sure do hope he’s alright…unless he was taken away by evil Sentrets or something like that. Considering I almost had my face eaten by one, I wouldn't be all that surprised.

I wonder how many of you out there are good at puzzles? Why not take a crack at this one?

An archaeologist AND a detective? Pretty cool! I have a friend who's a detective, too. _{[Though Douglas isn't the puzzle-solving kind so much as a dude that skeezy people hire to find other people, but you knoooow....]}

Nice to meet you too, Luke. _{[Seriously, Heather thinks he's adorable. It's been awhile since she's met a little kid who wasn't a total brat.]}

Really? Does he solve all kinds of mysteries and goes on adventures? [Luke totally has a Sherlock Holmes impression of Douglas now. Eheh...]

Perhaps we'll meet each other soon! Oh, I know, we're supposed to train our Pokemon, right? Maybe we could battle sometime! I think Mr. Bear would like that idea!

_{[Awww! The poor kid would probably be pretty disappointed should he ever meet the real Douglas-- Heather loved the old man to death, but there was nothing glamorous about being a deadbeat, depressed old dude with an alcohol problem. And guilt issues. And accidental dealings with cultists.]} We-ell... I guess he's been on some adventures, yeah! And technically got me dragged into them, too.

Heh! Sure, why not! I'm sure mine would enjoy a decent scrap. I've sort of only been letting them run around after wild ones so far. You gotten to that Cherrygrove place yet or are you still making your way there? The rain set me back a bit...

Wow! Really?! [Oh god Heather what have you done. His enthusiasm is now twice what it was before. Adventuuuures~] Can you tell me about them?!

Great! And I'm in Cherrygrove now. It's been difficult to travel with all this rain.

[foolishwren]

_{[UMMMMM. Oh boy. Heather you'd better think quick.]} Uh... _{[She looks a little abashed at the interest.]} Well, uh, sure! They're not too exciting, heh. Maybe if we run into each other in Cherrygrove, I'll tell ya! _{Because she needs some time to think up a few suitably harmless stories that don't involve horrific monsters, demonic fetuses, and human sacrifice. She might not be the most conscientious person but she doesn't want to give some sweet little kid nightmares for a month.]}

Man, seems like everybody's ahead of me! I think I'm getting close though. One more day's walk and I should be there.
