Robert hugs Rilli close to him, dancing along with the music, only mildly aware of the scary events going on about them, "I think we should go back to Fuschia City and buy the Pidgeot Express tickets *now*, so we can wake..." "Ouch!" Mithril-rama lets out a little shriek, "Robert, could you be a little more careful where you step? Ehh heh heh..." Robert places his hands on Rilli's dainty shoulders and backs away a little distance, "I never danced with any girls back in Lavender City. I was what you might call... a lonely boy. Never went to any dance parties, either..." "That's okay." Rilli giggles, "I'll just have to teach you! Okay, look at my feet. You take one step for..." "Teach me!" Robert exclaims, his eyes glittering with realization, "I almost forgot why we came to Fuschia City in the first place. I need you to teach me about Pokemon so that I can earn that Volcano Badge next time I go to Cinnabar Island!" Mithril-rama nods, and withdraws RK's Pokepedia from her purse. She pauses, "Um. Where should I begin?" Robert places his arms behind his back, and paces around Rilli, trying to recall the day's events, "Oh yeah! What was the deal with that giant Mankey with the cuff-links that tried to knock my Slowbro bam, boom, straight to the moon?" Purgatory pauses his dancing with Julia to say, "I believe you are referring to Zeus. He is a Primeape, not a giant Mankey. I thought everyone knew the difference between the two pig-monkeys. How strange it is that you do not." Robert faces Purgatory, "Primeape? Uhhh, if you say so, buddy..." When his eyes meet with Julia's, he remembers another Pokemon to ask Mithril-rama about, "What about that huge purple star thing that that girl was riding?" "Tidal?" Julia tilts her head to the side, "Tidal is a Starmie, recently evolved from a Staryu." Robert clenches his spiky black hair with both hands in frustration, "Staryu, Starmie, how can anyone tell the difference?!" Stallone, Sarah Jane's Machop, walks into the house, yawning from a long day, "Maaaaa-chop?" Robert points to the muscular little Pokemon, "And what about him? He looks familiar, but I don't know why..." Sarah Jane adjusts her glasses, amazed by Robert's ignorance, "Stallone is a Machop. Now I'm definitely convinced that you should pay a visit to my grandfather at Rosetta University, Robert. Remember to tell him that I sent you." Robert nods at the twelve year old in overalls, "I will. Speaking of which, Rilli and I are going to leave the party at 10 PM, about 30 minutes from now. We're going to spend the night at the Pidgeot Express in Fuschia City, so we can catch a Pidgeot to Viridian City early in the morning. Rilli and I will head south to Rosetta University from Viridian." Damian places his hand on his chin, "So Robert and Rilli won't be going with us to Cinnabar Island? Who else isn't going to be traveling with us from now on? Our group sure has gotten large. In fact, I think we should all decide on a na..." "Great idea!" Jon pats Damian on the back before he can finish his thought, "We should find out who is and who isn't going to be traveling with us. I say, the more, the merrier! Are you two coming along? Purgatory? Julia?" Robert smiles at the group, "While you guys figure that out, I'm going to be having a private session with my teacher! I sure hope she doesn't give me an oral examination. Wait, on second thought..." Robert smiles and faces Rilli. Mithril-rama chuckles nervously. She gazes down into the Pokepedia in the palm of her hand, "Hmm. Let's see. You wanted to learn more about Primeape, Starmie, and Machop, right?" Robert nods eagerly, "Yes, ma'am! Teach me about the Pokemon, please. I'll be a really good student, I promise! You won't have to spank me... Unless you want to, of course." Robert's chuckles, waiting for his cute teacher to respond. -Robert
