[The wizard nods, frowning softly.]

I believe they might be. They seem to be appearing in areas that aren't normal for them to be in and are rather..insistent on getting close to people. It's rather strange behavior.

[Armin breathes out on a soft, thoughtful noise, his brows furrowing a bit.]

Jean and I did consider that Pokemon might be behind this. [Though they had been thinking of possible legendary Pokemon being the cause.] Have you seen them do anything except try and come close? Anything else that might be out of the ordinary?

I have heard that Drowzees have been stalking individuals during the night, staring in through windows and using their abilities from the sound of it. Several of the Phantumps we've encountered have tried to get close but my companions have been rather adamant about keeping them away. I am not entirely certain why but I think they're attempting to do something with their own abilities.

[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.

I don't see why that would be a problem.

[All of Newt's pokemon are very well behaved, after all.]

It's certainly worth a try.

[Oh Armin. You haven't met Niffler yet.]

I'll get Salazar on his way then and see what we can find. If we do find anything of note, I'll be in touch.

[He hasn't met Niffler yet! So he is still perfectly within his rights to think all of Newt's pokemon are as sweet and thoughtful as Morgan.]

All right. Thank you. If we find out anything on our end, I'll be sure to let you know too.
