[And on the screen pops the ever so lovable Flora, standing in the kitchen of her home. She really loves not having to live at the inn anymore--it gives her full reign in the kitchen. But as a burned, scientifically-concocted breakfast sits on the table for her little family (really, the only things properly edible are the fruits in the bowl and the juice in the pitcher), today's post has nothing to do with food. In fact, it's all about treatment. And this subject is one Flora is growing to feel very strongly about.]

Good morning, everyone! I hope you're well. I apologize for being a bother, but I've got a few concerns regarding this world, actually. I know everyone's taken up the habit of battling their pokémon and I understand they're quite useful when it comes to defense against wild encounters, but... [She pauses, takes a deep breath, and:]

I truly don't think it's fair to force these little animals to fight! In fact, I think it's cruel. Someone I had spoken to earlier had suspected that we're to train them for war, and that's not right at all. Why should we make them fight for us, especially in a war with no clear meaning? They're just little animals, they shouldn't be forced to battle.

[That was hard. She looks genuinely bothered by this! But after a calm breath, she smiles back at the gear.] Instead, can't we just love and care for them? They're all quite cute. Even the dinosaurs.

Thank you for listening. I hope you all have a good day!

[And with that, she shuts off the gear. She feels better about it, in any case. But she'll stay in the kitchen a little while longer.

Meanwhile, her Gible is currently at the table, trying to steal one of the 'pancakes' she made. Too bad his stubby arms can't reach. But at least, if anyone wants to pretend they've eaten her abominable breakfast, her Gible is willing to help.]

Oh...

...so training also helps when they reproduce?

[But everything's made with love!]

Oh... that's truly quite bizarre. I'm not sure I'll ever understand this concept.

Well, I mean... Why not just find other ways to avoid them so it wouldn't come to that? Or, I'm sure there's some sort of local technology that could be used... Right?

You think so?

...It does sound like quite a few disagree with me. They have some points! I just... disagree with them as well. [She smiles.] I'm glad I'm not the only one, though.

[ Your love is toxic then!! ]

It is rather difficult to grasp, but it can be compared to wrestling matches in our world, so I assure you that there is no upcoming war or anything of the sort.

Then... I shall! I'll see if he'll speak with me... instead of trying to eat my arm. [And with that, a little chuckle. It's not a joke, but no need to bring that up.]

Oh yes, I absolutely love to! I had to find ways to entertain myself where I'm from, so I learned to cook! ["Learned". Her meals are edible around 5% of the time, giving her as much credit as possible.]

Oh... I've seen the park! This place is honestly quite bizarre.

[Even her love for you, Professor? ;A;]

Oh... Well, so long as there won't be any sort of war, it's at least a little settled. But... very rough. I can't say I'm a fan.

[Although, her little Gible could use a bit of rough training. Don't mind him, he's still trying to steal the food from the table. Watching him struggle a little brings Flora to realize that Layton hasn't actually grabbed himself a plate yet.]

Oh! Professor, you haven't touched breakfast yet.

[Have fun getting out of this one.]

[ Yes, if it involves cooking!!

]

[ And h-haha... touching breakfast... TIME TO LIE HIS WAY OUT OF THIS ]

Ah, I'm afraid I'm not too hungry this morning, but thank you, Flora...

[She gasps softly at that, taking a few steps closer.]

Are you feeling alright? Perhaps you should take it easy today if you're unwell...

True.

Have you been in a Pokemon battle yet?

I am a bit exhausted from school work, but I am quite fine. I will just be sticking with my tea for this morning.

[ Looking at it, his tea cup is almost empty now. Maybe Flora can try to show that her tea making skills are better... hopefully... ]

What kind of pokemon do you have? My poochyena still bites me whenever she feels like it. [Joke? What joke? She must be telling the truth, otherwise why bring it up?]

[The self-taught cook. Gotta respect that enthusiasm. Her food still looks nightmarish.] I can give you a few tips if you want 'em. What were you cooking?

Oh, gracious, I couldn't go through with one of those!

I've got a Gible. He's quite spunky. [Spunky is the nicest euphemism for how troublesome this little thing is.]

Pointers would be very helpful, thank you! I cannot turn down free help. I... I made breakfast. Spinach and boysenberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and hash browns.

Alright... Perhaps you should rest at home early this evening. It wouldn't do for you to tire yourself out.

[But she catches him looking down and follows his eyes to his teacup.] Would you like some more tea? I'm brewing a fresh batch in the kitchen. [Gosh Professor, what do you take her for? Tea's the easiest thing to make.]

[ He was thinking about coming home right after he finishes his classes so he can relax. ]

[ He nods. ]

Yes, more tea will be wonderful.

No it's not! It's not like they mind!

You might not notice, but the Pokemon enjoy when they battle.

Reason? I do not know.

Alright! One moment, please!

[And with that she scuttles into the kitchen and returns with the kettle and nice, if not a little strong, English breakfast tea. She carefully pours him a cup.]

[He pulls out his pokedex and starts looking through it for this strange pokemon. Yeesh, it was a tiny shark dinosaur thing. What teeth it had...] ...Give him a chew toy that isn't breathing. Nurse Joy should have a few around.

[Spinach pancakes actually sound tasty, but the boysenberry inclusion does not. He thinks it over for a second. It's hard to figure out what to say since he hasn't tasted the meal but visuals were pretty important too.]

Since you're making breakfast, you should have left out the spinach from the pancakes. That way they'll add a sweet touch to the rest of the savory part of the meal. ...And get a timer so you don't overcook anything. ...I can't say for sure since I haven't tasted what you have there.

[ Ah, that smells wonderful. Hopefully, it tastes just as good as it smells. ]

Thank you, my dear.

[ After blowing it a few times, he takes a sip from his cup and oh man, that's actually not half bad. *^* ]

This is a wonderful cup of tea.

She can be a handful sometimes.

If your pokémon won't fight for you, I'm pretty sure it minds. And that is abusive. You shouldn't force it.

[Luke: proving Flora's theory correct.]

What type of pokémon is your Rose?
