[Today happens to be a special day for Luke - it’s his birthday! After getting tied to a bear and falling ill for most of the week, Luke was eager to celebrate it. Even if he was a little sad that he couldn’t celebrate it at home. That won't stop him from letting the rest of the world know about it though. Turning fourteen is a very exciting thing for Luke! For Luke's travel mates, expect a young boy to be pounding on your door bright and early.]
[Text.]
Johto, I am 14 now! I am one step closer to being an adult.
And not only am I a year older, but I'm pretty sure I've gotten taller as well! And well I haven't measured myself yet, but I could swear I felt myself grow an inch or two more already! Maybe this means I will start growing faster.
Speaking of ages, I just thought of a puzzle to share with you all!
“A father and son are chatting when the son poses this question: "Dad, I'm 22 now, but just how old are you?"
The father replies, "You wanna know how old your old man is, eh? Hmm, well, I tell you what. I'm as old as your age, plus half of my age."
How old is the father?”
Hope you all have fun with that one!

[And a little while later, Luke can be spotted wandering around the shopping area of Goldenrod. Most of the time he’ll be stopping by any toy or candy shops, peering inside to see what looks interesting.
During this little trip, he gets pounced on by a Furret leaping out of the bushes, knocking the poor boy over. Considering his last incident with a wild Ursaring, Luke is a little more skittish with Pokemon. In response, he throws his hands up to defend himself.]
Ack! Wait, don’t eat me! I’m not tasty-!
[He stops flailing long enough to get a good look at the Furret. It doesn't look like it's going to eat his face off or anything, so he slowly lowers his hands, carefully patting the Furret on the head.]
O-oh, hello…um, could you get off me please? Do you belong to someone?
[Fumbling around with his Pokegear, he checks the data on the Furret to make sure it doesn’t belong to someone else nearby.]
Tangarm…hey, you’re one of Puzzlette’s Pokemon! But what are you doing out here and not with her? Ah, I see you’re an evolved form of…
Sen…
S-Sentret…
[Considering Luke’s first experience with Sentrets involved them mauling him, Luke is not thrilled to see its evolved form around. He starts flailing wildly to get the Furret off him but with little success. To passerbys, it looks like a young boy is desperately trying to escape from a…very affectionate Furret. Help him? Point and laugh?]
