As Robert and Mithril-rama leave the Safari Zone, Rilli stares up at the sky, watching CJ Smith fly away. Her gaze falls upon the moon... the large blue moon. She stares at it for a moment, then nudges Robert, "Look at the moon!" Robert is too busy, however, examining the tiny white machine in his hands. "Fly! I can't believe it! That kid was nice enough to give me the machine that teaches Fly! Oh, I just wish I had Farfetch'd with me now, I'd teach him this move as fast as I... Uh, Rilli, did you say something?" Mithril-rama chuckles at Robert's eagerness, noticing that he isn't paying much attention, "Check out the moon!" "The moon? What about the...?" Robert tilts his view upwards at the starry sky and whistles in awe when he sees the different, but beautiful, color, "A... Blue Moon? HA! No wonder I caught a new Pokemon!" Robert chuckles out loud! Rilli giggles a little, but seems a little disappointed that Robert isn't being very romantic about it, "Yeah... maybe..." "Kangas! Kangaskhan!" The loud cry is heard coming from the west. Robert and Rilli both turn their attention to its origin. Robert raises an eyebrow upon seeing the large cage that contains the Kangaskhan and says, "There's a Pokemon Zoo out here? I didn't notice it when we came in!" Robert pockets his new HM and runs over to the cage. Mithril-rama seems a bit dubious, but she tags along behind him anyway. She looks up at the huge parent Pokemon in the cage, "I think...that Pokemon is just... uhhh..." She shudders. "Don't worry, it's behind a cage!" Robert leans up to a large sign at the base of the cage and squints his eyes to read it in the blue moonlight: "Name: Kangaskhan. A maternal Pokemon that raises its young in a pouch on its belly." Robert pauses to stroke his chin, "It looks very strong, but it's not my style. Tauros was a much better catch!" Mithril-rama nods enthusiastically, "Yep! Wouldn't want... that thing... following us! That would be bad!" "Look, there's another Pokemon over there!" Robert continues running westward and meets up with more steel bars. Behind them is a small pool of water with a Pokemon resting inside: "Name: Omanyte. A Pokemon that was resurrected from a fossil." Robert peers into the cage and sees the Pokemon inside, sleeping curled up inside its shell. "Hey, Rilli, I think I've seen one of those before... I don't quite remember where, though..." "Uhh, Robert..." Mithril-rama taps him on the shoulder, "I have an Omanyte!" "You do? Let's see, you have an Electabuzz, a Haunter, a PallaPa...er, a Parasect, the evolved Duh thing, a Clefable, a Horsea, the purple fuzz bug, and you just caught that two headed bird Pokemon... When did you catch an Omanyte?!" Robert had counted eight Pokemon with his fingers while saying their names. Rilli blushes, realizing that she hasn't used Omanyte in such a long time, "Don't you remember? Omanyte was one of my first Pokemon! My grandmother gave it to me when I began Pokemon training." "Really?" Robert looks back into the pool behind the cage, "Maybe I just can't recognize it in the darkness. Let's go to that large pool over there!" Robert points southward, and moments later, the two trainer stand in front of an artificial pool containing a very relaxed Lapras. Bright lights have been set up around the pool so that people can see the majestic Pokemon in the evenings too. "Oooh, that thing's awesome! Let's see..." Robert runs around the pool until he finds a sign, "Name: Lapras. A. K. A. the king of the seas. Hmm, that doesn't tell me much." "I've heard about Lapras," Mithril-rama explains, "They're ice Pokemon that are an endangered species. It's very hard to see them in the wild, and if you do you're not supposed to catch them. Some places rent them out for sea travel." Robert nods, then yawns, "I see... Not that that's boring or anything, but I'm getting tired. Let's get to the Pokemon Center and find ourselves some nice comfortable beds! We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow!" -Robert
