Picarats 002 - [VIDEO/ACTION IN CHERRYGROVE]

[profpuzzle]

[VIDEO]

[On this beautiful morning if anyone happens to be checking out their Pokegear, they would find a video of Professor Layton seemingly positioning his own Pokegear on some table. From the surroundings, it would seem that he is in a corner of the Pokemon Center, at a table with what seems to be a cup of tea.

Yes, the Professor finally got

It takes about a week to get to Violet from Cherrygrove, so you might wanna leave soon if you're hoping to get there in a nice amount of time.

[Video]

[profpuzzle]

Is that so? That's awfully quite far, but thank you for answering my question, ma'am.

[The Professor tips his hat and smiles.]

I am actually waiting for my assistant to arrive from Violet City to Cherrygrove. I am quite worried about his safety.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Your assistant?

[Video]

[profpuzzle]

Ah, yes, my assistant. A small boy in blue named Luke. He often tells others that he is the assistant of Professor Layton. Have you heard of him? I believe he's in Violet City at the moment.

[mysticpearly]

Were they bald, Mr. Professor?

[video]

[profpuzzle]

Yes, he was! You are most definitely correct, my dear! Someone cannot get their hair wet if they had none.

[20 picarats for you, Pearls! SHOW THEM OFF WITH PRIDE]

How are you? Have you found "Mystic Maya" or "Mr. Nick" yet?

[video]

[mysticpearly]

[A nod!] I found Mystic Maya. She's on her way back to meet me.

[video]

[profpuzzle]

That's wonderful, my dear! Hopefully, she will make her way quickly. I do hope that you two could be reunited soon.

[Video]

[hintcoinplz]

That's because he's bald, Professor!

[The video feed clicks on to reveal a cheerful-looking Luke, who seems to be camping out in the middle of a forest. After hearing from the Professor, the boy wasted no time in packing his things and heading back to Cherrygrove. As Luke adjusts the Pokegear, a small bear Pokemon pokes her head into view.]

[video]

[profpuzzle]

That is correct, my boy! No hair means none can get wet. Critical thinking is the key to success, Luke.

[20 picarats for you, my assistant! CAN YOU COLLECT MORE?

The Professor takes notice of the surrounding forest and the little bear like Pokemon. He could probably guess that Luke is making his way towards Cherrygrove, but the Pokemon caught him curious.]

Is that bear your partner, my boy?

Re: [video]

[hintcoinplz]

[Just, beaming with pride. He didn't even need a hint coin! After a couple seconds, he rests his hand on the Teddiursa's head.]

Uh-huh, this is Mr. Bear! And I've caught a couple other Pokemon since I've been here as well!

[video]

[profpuzzle]

[The Professor chuckles.]

Mr. Bear seems like quite the reliable Pokemon, my boy, and is that so? It seems that you just might be a better trainer than I am, Luke. I am still learning the ropes of all this.

[Aha, perhaps the apprentice and mentor roles are changed for Pokemon, hm?]

[used_beatup]

Tha's easy, yo! It wasn't no single hair that got wet, it was all the hairs!

[video] Oh man, Beat <3

[profpuzzle]

[The Professor chuckles. What a strange boy.]

I'm afraid that is not the answer, my boy. Perhaps I should reword the question such as; "When he ran all the way back home, his clothes were soaked, yet none of his hair has gotten wet."

Would you like to give a shot now?

[Picarats are now down to 18]

[video] how low can the picarats go 83c 1/2

[walking_the_cat]

[Crosses fingers in front of his mouth.] A puzzle?

[Video]

[profpuzzle]

Yes, a puzzle. I am quite fond of them. Would you like to give it a try, ma'am?

[Oh God, this is going to get awkward later....]

Re: [Video]

[walking_the_cat]

I'd like to--

. . .I'm a guy.

[Awkward on the Prof's end! Bridget is used to it.]

[video]

[profpuzzle]

[Sooo very awkward.]

I...I apologize, my boy...

[Awkward cough. Man, how does he explain this?]
