[Armin is pulling up a separate screen to do a quick Pokedex search on Drowzees as they speak. And once more he wishes the Pokedex was a bit more extensive. If he was in a proper library, he could pull down some books on them and get a more detailed background, but now he only has a few lines.]
Well, the Pokedex does say that Drowzees are known to eat people's dreams, but it also says they normally get sick from bad dreams. That seems at odds with the nightmares we've been having.
It does, yes, but perhaps the Phantumps are doing something that allows them to handle the influx of bad dreams. It's just a theory, I'm not sure if that's something the Phantumps are even capable of, but they are definitely working together with this venture--whatever it truly may be.
[He'll really have to keep an eye out for any Phantumps and Drowzees now. He hadn't really been paying attention to those --they had been on the water for most of their time, after all-- but whatever is happening right now is pretty unusual, so it is also worthwhile to keep unusual theories in mind.]
Are you near a city by any chance? A proper book might have more information on Phantum or Drowzee behaviour than the pokedex does. [And thus, might have something in there that could either confirm or deny this theory of Newt's] I'd check it myself, but we're still several days out from the next city with a library.
[And considering how tired they all are, they are not making their usual speedy progress.]
Unfortunately not. We're still on Mt. Moon at the moment.
[He paused before glancing at something--no someone--off screen.]
Perhaps I could have Salazar go and pick up a few books for me. If I called ahead to the town nearby and told them he was coming, I can't imagine it would be much of a problem.
[ Another picture comes through, a selfie of Yuri hugging Zarya who looks like she's trying to escape, paws pressing against Yuri's face with a crazed look in her eyes. ]
Some do. Malie and the group she traveled with before she came to us seem to have a fondness for the water and, in turn, have learned Surf because of it.
She's quite adept at traveling by water if she needs to go somewhere.
