—and that's why the fibula moves in concert with the femur during a Water Shuriken launch! Fascinating, isn't it?

A few paces away, near the entrance, a group had gathered. A boy with spiky black hair and a red and white cap was peering at a Pokédex, his Pikachu perched on his shoulder. Beside him, a taller, blond girl in a pink hat twirled a lock of hair around her finger, stealing glances at him when she thought no one was looking.

Ash Ketchum

So you just point it at a Pokémon and it tells you everything?

Serena

Something like that, Ash. You press the button, and—she reaches over, gently tapping the screen—there.

Clemont

Hello? I invented a device that detects a Pokémon's internal energy signature before they even materialize from their ball. A Pokédex is ancient technology!

Bonnie

Clemont, your robot exploded this morning. I found smoke coming out of your backpack.

Clemont

That was a controlled release of excess kinetic energy!

A little girl with a blond ponytail giggled, bouncing on her heels. Her brother's face reddened.

Professor Sycamore

Ah! There she is. Y/n, perfect timing. Come in, come in.

Ash turned, curiosity flickering across his face. Pikachu tilted its head, ears twitching.
