Frankly, he was not quite sure what he was supposed to make of this. On one hand, it was nice to be gifted something both nice and useful out of the blue. He just wished it had not come with the comment about expanding his roster. That was a bit weird to come from a co-worker, after all. Plus, he already felt as if he had more Pokemon than he could feasibly train a t once.



But then again, that was common these days, wasn’t it? Apparently, given the traffic of the PC system, people were catching a lot more than they needed. It was not necessarily his thing, of course. He had made it pretty far into life without going for great hunts or the like. But at the same time, he was starting to see some limitations at least. He could not always hide behind doing maintenance, not with all the fighting going on.



So, he was both a bit iffy and a bit grateful about this present. Enough to actually come here today, figuring that spooky season was a good enough time to go looking for something more exotic. Not that he was scared, of course. This did seem like some kind of curated experience, of course. Still, walking through the autumn leaves in the fading light of the afternoon did have something to it that just saw him being a little tense, at least as he was observing for potential Pokemon to cross his path.
