Hello! I'm not around at the moment, but if you leave a message I'll get back to you!

[samsa]

[Gracious.]

There are so many, it feels like I'm learning about a new one every day no matter how much I try to read up on them.

[shuttermouse]

Are you going to catch them all, or do you have some other goal?

[samsa]

Oh, no...I don't know if I could ever catch that many Pokemon.

[Lord, he has a hard enough time catching just one.]

Recently, I've been spending my time reading the books here, mostly. I like to see how they're different from the original classics.

[...]

Oh, that reminds me! You know how people were wishing for things last week? I have "The Black Goat's Egg" now!

[shuttermouse]

Spoken like a true Lit student, Kaneki-kun.

[ Neeeeeeerd. :U ]

I got a photo album and "The Hanged Man's MacGuffin."

[samsa]

[What can he say, some things just don't change. Though what she says she got causes him to pause.]

That's Takatsuki Sen's most recent work, isn't it?

[shuttermouse]

Yup. I may let you borrow it, if you're interested.

[samsa]

[...Chie do you even have to ask.]

I would be interested, of course! I haven't gotten a chance to read that one yet...

I wouldn't mind letting you borrow "The Black Goat's Egg", either.

[shuttermouse]

Okay. I don't read much but I might borrow it one day when I'm in the mood.

When are you returning to Goldenrod, by the way?

[samsa]

Soon, probably. I've been in Ecruteak for about a week, and I've looked around pretty much everything in town by now. I think I'll try to head back in the next few days.

[shuttermouse]

The two of us could travel somewhere when you get back.

[samsa]

Yeah? Is there somewhere particular you want to go, Chie-san?

[shuttermouse]

I was thinking Ilex Forest and Azalea. The forest's a few days south of Goldenrod.

[samsa]

[There's a short pause before he answers. Mostly because he's reminded, for some reason, of a conversation he had with Tsukiyama recently. If what he said was true, then traveling might do him some good.

Why not.]

Hm...we could probably meet up in Goldenrod, if you want. When do you plan on heading back, yourself?

[shuttermouse]

Today or tomorrow, probably.

[samsa]

...now that I think about it, I actually don't know how long it takes to get from Ecruteak back to Goldenrod. I can probably find something to ride on since I can't fly yet, but it might take some time.

[shuttermouse]

...Or we can just use the Teleport trick.

[samsa]

Carrie can't do it since I've already visited the Pokemon Center here...unless you wouldn't mind letting me borrow your Abra when you get to Goldenrod.

[shuttermouse]

That's what I was thinking. I'll heal Himiko up once I get there and have Ikefukuro fly her over.

[samsa]

That will work, then.

[There's a pause before he sends another text, because he just remembered something.]

I should mention, though...my friend Maka is going to be holding a book club meeting at her home in Olivine sometime soon. Her Alakazam is going to be bringing people over if they can't travel there on their own, and I already told her I would be there.

Do you think you would mind coming with me to that? If the meeting doesn't happen before we start traveling, anyway.

[shuttermouse]

idk if I'll go to the actual meeting but I can come with you to Olivine.

[samsa]

That's fine. We won't have to be there more than a day anyway, unless you'd like to stay longer.

[shuttermouse]

Nah, I don't think so. I was there for about a week before I was brought to Kanto during that weird weekend.

[ So she's already seen what the city has to offer. ]

[samsa]

I just want to go for the meeting, so that's fine with me. We can keep going on to Azalea after that. I never visited Azalea or any of the towns beyond New Bark, so I'd be interested to see what they're like anyway.

[shuttermouse]

I heard the forest's pretty big. I bet it has a lot of interesting wildlife.

[samsa]

It probably does. I'm sure that photo album of yours will come in handy, once we get there.
