[ At some point in the day Helios' face will come up on the feed. Well actually it's his Goomy's face that's on the screen first and it'll look very excited and happy to know that it's the center of attention for a few seconds. In the background there's a myriad of books, papers, and maps haphazardly littering the desk and walls around the man and his two pokemon. Guess who is back from his travels? This guy is! Glaucus will let out a characteristic cry before Helios' hands wrap around it and move it out of the way only to have it placed in what appears to be a small kiddie pool filled with water. There you go buddy, he can't have you drying out, that'd be dreadful! He's all smiles as he addresses Union as a whole. ] Ah! It's certainly good to be back home for a little while! But a researchers work is never finished as I like to say. I was wondering if someone could catch me up on the ongoings around here? I've been rather busy out in the field after all.

[ He smiles as his Oddish (Patecatl) makes an appearance as well, it lets out a happy little "oddish!" as if in reply to Helios' words. ] Also I was wondering if anyone would like to go on an expedition in the near future? I haven't nearly covered all of the Verdant Forest that I would have liked to, so there's always room for more exploring you know? I was also thinking of paying a visit to the hot springs and the shrine too while we're out there so it's going to be a long expedition. I hear the springs are quite good for rest and relaxation though and the shrine has lots of interesting pokemon to collect information on. [ It makes him excited just to think about! Maybe he'll actually encounter one of the rarer ones this time around! And with all the moving around he's done Helios could use a nice soak. ]

It's always more entertaining when there's a solid group of us. So if you want to sign up for this little expedition of ours just stop by my office at the university or you can even tell me over the network. I don't mind either way!

[And right on time, Yuuna's waiting for Helios outside said cafe, holding a little Trapinch in her arms.]

Punctual as always, I see.

[folklorist]

[ Oh how cute! Helios is smiling as he has his own pokemon walking by his side. Oddish will curiously peer up at the Trapinch and give a greeting of what could be deemed as a pokemon hello! ]

But of course! It'd be rude to keep a lady waiting, yes? [ He's all smiles as he opens the door for her and her pokemon. ]

[rainsrespite]

[She snorts and Trapinch clicks his pincers at Helios and the rest.]

If you call me a lady you've got a weird definition. But I like it anyway.

[In she goes, heading to a booth she favors.]

So, you first. How'd the trip go?

[folklorist]

[ Well excuse you. He's a feisty one isn't he? That doesn't really deter Helios though. Then again Helios is one of those people that stares danger in the face when he probably shouldn't.

Helios laughs at that comment though. He's being a proper gentlemen okay? It's just how he rolls. ]

It went surprisingly well actually. I think my new group of students are getting the hang of it. Though there's a few I don't think are quite cut out for the whole...camping business. But they're rather good with pokemon.

[rainsrespite]

[Trapinch is just being friendly though! She just...doesn't have hands or much of a mouth beyond that chomper.]

That's good. That's what's most important. The rest can be learned, but kindness? Can't teach that.

[She orders from a passing waiter, her usual...and sets Sabakumi down on the table.]

Ever seen one of these before?

[folklorist]

No you certainly can't. But it's good to know that I have a very good class this year. It definitely brightens one's spirits, you know?

[ Helios will order a dish of pokemon food for his Oddish and something for himself as well. He smiles and looks at the Trapinch with a curious but friendly look. He smiles widely back at her as he puts out a hand to gently pet Sabakumi on the head. ]

A Trapinch, yes? I've heard of them but I've never seen one in person. She's quite cute I have to admit. Where did you get her from?

Don't forget to do your AC Levy

[rainsrespite]

[Trapinch nuzzles his finger with his little beak/pincher thing. He doesn't peench.]

I found her in the canyon. She was just...sitting on a rock looking lost, so I gave her some directions. And she just decided to keep following me. Odd little thing...but I know she's in for a big change when she evolves.

[folklorist]

[ Helios smiles brightly at that before dropping his hand away and listening to Yuuna's story. ]

Funny. That's almost exactly how I found him. [ He'll hold up Oddish with a smile before placing the plant pokemon on the table next to Trapinch. Oddish will ruffle it's top leaves with a curious tilt of it's head before looking at Trapinch with some curiosity. ]

You'll have to tell me when she evolves! I-I can't wait to see her when she's all grown up. Perhaps I'll have to pay the canyon a visit in the future!

[rainsrespite]

[Trapinch clicks his beak and nods, clearly amused. Hi there!]

I will, of course. That...shouldn't be too terribly long. With how Pokemon are around me and my little trick.
