[ Passerby browsing through the Goldenrod Department Store late this afternoon might happen across Yagyuu and his Espeon, Lady, perusing the aisles with a leisurely air. For people watching particularly closely, one might notice that the two of them spend a fair amount of time lingering over the potions and TMs on display; every so often, Yagyuu produces a notebook and pencil and seems to reference it, jotting quick notes and apparently making comparisons between whatever he has written in the notebook and whatever it is he's currently looking at on the shelves. But ultimately, they're only window shopping, and soon enough they move on to other floors and other wares.

Somewhere in the midst of this shopping trip, however, a brief message goes up on the Gear network: ]

Which is a more fitting gift for a soon-to-be fourteen-year-old? A pair of socks or a pocket dictionary?

I'd hope so. It's something I'm looking forward to.

You'd never know, in the future.
