[She nodded at his comment.]

So it seems. Have you been here long?

[She made a hand gesture for Harry to sit in the grass with her and enjoy the sun, then reached out to let his Pokémon sniff at her hands in greeting.]

[phoenixwiz]

(He nods as he gets up to sit down on the grass with Luna while Rowan, Maisy and Molly follow after him. Maisy goes first and proceeds to sniff at her hand.)

I have been travelling around Jotho for a few days so far. And I just stopped by here just now to rest up and to look at the Slowpoke.

[looneylovegood]

The Slowpoke are definitely fun to watch. They seem so relaxed and comfortable here. [Another one ambled by in that moment, slowly lumbering along. Luna smiled as she watched it.] Have you seen the well? There are a lot of them in there.

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, they sure look really at peace. Nor do they look like they are going to rush into things at any time.

(The Slowpoke are very serene and at peace, something he just experiences these days after being at Jotho for a while. Azalea Town has been peaceful and calming for the soul.)

I actually pass by a couple of them, although I haven’t though about stopping by one when I first came here.

[looneylovegood]

[Honestly, after everything that's happened back home, Luna felt it was good to see Harry so relaxed. She cared about him. He was a good friend. He deserved the rest.]

I definitely recommend it. It is a bit cool down there, though, so you might want to bring a jumper.

I didn't interrupt a meal or anything, did I? You were sitting at the cafe...

[phoenixwiz]

Ah yeah, that sounds like a great idea. I do have a jumper inside my rucksack, so I might put it on in a little bit before checking out the wells.

Oh no, that is okay. I was about to finish my order in the cafe and I didn’t expect to see anyone from home to show up in town until you came in.

(Maisy purrs delightfully, just begging to play, while Molly and Rowan are having a great time chatting with Luna’s Slowpoke and Spinda.)

[looneylovegood]

I've seen one other person here so far. Well, sort of. It was through that... PokeGear? Fascinating device, truly. It works better than flue powder, and I can use it anywhere without having to light a fire.

[Luna was happy to pet and play with Maisy. Honestly, she was definitely in her element here.]

I know you have experience living among Muggles. Have you seen anything like the PokeGear before?

[phoenixwiz]

I did saw my uncle using a PDA a couple of times, but the PokéGear is more advance than it. Thankfully it hasn’t blown up on me too.

(Maisy happily purrs and meows in delight just taking in the attention Luna is giving onto her. She is just too adorable not to be ignored.)

[looneylovegood]

[Luna listened curiously, of course, taking in what he said, and then...]

What's a 'pda'?

[Sorry, Harry. Luna grew up in the wizarding world.]

[phoenixwiz]

PDA is short for a personal digital assistant. It is a portable digital device that some Muggles use on a everyday basis: making calls, making calculations, updating calendars. It is similar to how the PokéGear functions.

[looneylovegood]

That does sound quite useful. [Luna nodded thoughtfully.] Is it a common thing for Muggles to have?

[phoenixwiz]

I don’t know if every one of them has them at the moment: some people still haven’t made the move to using them just yet. While others can’t afford them right away.

[looneylovegood]

I see.

[Yes... money was definitely A Thing, even in the wizarding world. She could definitely understand that.]

I suppose that makes us lucky we could get these PokéGear for free. I wonder if they're expensive, too.

[Alas, it wasn't something she needed to worry about much. She put it aside for now, focusing back on Harry again.]

What kind of Pokémon did you have when you first came here? And are you a Trainer or a Breeder? I've heard that there's a difference.

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, I was also wondering about the same thing as well. I got to be a Trainer and I got Rowan as my starter.

Row-Let! Rowlet!

(Rowan chirps on glee upon hearing his name.)

[looneylovegood]

Apparently, I'm to be a Breeder. There's a handbook in my bag and everything.

[She put her hand out to Rowan to say hi.]

You're quite cute, Rowan. It's very nice to meet you. [An owl. This made her happy. It was like almost having something from home.] Though, I wonder if they have anything that resembles a stag. I think that's why I started with a Spina... because it looks like a rabbit.

[phoenixwiz]

I haven’t found any luck finding a Pokémon that resembles my Patronus just yet, but I do heard that Stantler are quite common in some parts of Jotho. Perhaps I can find one upon reaching Route 37.

Some trainers have said to have found them to be plentiful in the area.

[looneylovegood]

I think that would be a nice one for you to have. [She nodded slightly.] Hopefully, you'll find a good one for you.

[The Slowpoke next to her made a low groaning kind of noise and then rolled over, looking for belly rubs, which Luna was more than happy to oblige.]

[phoenixwiz]

(Another Slowpoke makes its way towards Harry and is literally begging for some friendly interactions with him that he couldn’t resist saying no to the creature.)

Oh hey there, you look really adorable, aren’t you?

(He is more than happy to stroke the Slowpoke by the head much to amusement of the latter. Rowan happily chirps at another one who wants to say hello to him as he flaps his wings in delight.)

[looneylovegood]

You might have a new friend.

[Luna laughed a bit.]

I'm glad you're here, Harry. It's nice to see someone familiar.
