Lorelei blinks.
Lorelei: How can you discuss that for -3- hours? I think I could make that discussion last five minutes...if I tried real hard.

Nikola shakes his head and sighs once more
Nikola: I honestly have no clue, but they could do it. I mean, these are the guys that together know more about pokemon than any school does. If we had Prof. Birch and Prof. Elm here here we'd be able to say the 4 of them know more about pokemon that almost everyone on the planet.

Lorelei smiles sunnily at him and pats his shoulder.
Lorelei: Well, don't worry. I promise not to talk about the diet of Feebas or the average length of a Lapras' fins or even about the temperature of a Ponyta's fire.

Nikola gives a sheepish grin as he replies.
Nikola: Good...because I have no clue what a Feebas or a Ponyta is. Most of my pokemon knowledge comes from seeing them in the wild.

Lorelei shrugs, rubbing Splash's head, and looks around for somewhere to sit down.
Lorelei: I used to spend some time at the Vermillion Gym, didn't do any fighting really, but I watched a lot of other people fight. You can pick up quite a bit that way.

Nikola looks over to her, his face crossed with question.
Nikola: You've actually been to a gym? What is it like at one? Do they only fight and train there?

Lorelei finds a place to perch and sits down, crossing her legs, Splash cuddling in her lap.
Lorelei: Yeah, my family lives in Vermillion City. I spent a bit of time in the Gym there. The Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, is big on electric types though, so Splash and I were kinda out of place. There is a lot of fighting and training going on, but trainers also meet and take time to socialize there.

Nikola nods, soaking in all the information as if it were the most precious thing in the world.
Nikola: So you're saying that even if you go to a gym, you don't have to compete, you can just go there to talk to other trainers?

Lorelei looks cautious and her arms curve protectively around Splash.
Lorelei: Well, there are some trainers that want to challenge anyone who walks through the doors, and they can be a little rude if you decline. But so long as you can shrug off taunts, you should be fine. By all accounts though, each gym is different, so don't put too much stock in what I say.

Nikola gives a weak smile.
Nikola: Well...maybe I should go and see for myself? Aftre all, I don't have a clue when dad is going to be done here and I am 18...

Lorelei looks at him for a moment, glancing briefly down at Splash as if soliciting the little mudkips's opinion. She looks up and smiles sunnily at Nikola.
Lorelei: Hmm, the nearest gym is Pewter City, isn't it? Splash and I were planning on heading that way ourselves. Could we go with you?

Nikola looks a bit surprised for a moment and then recovers.
Nikola: Are you sure it would be ok? I woldn't want you to go out of your way or anything, but it'd be nice to travel with someone who knows the region.

Lorelei chuckles and shakes her head, her golden hair flying.
Lorelei: I don't know the area. Not really anyway, this is the first time I've been out of Vermillion in my life. That's why I want to go everywhere and see everything.

Nikola frowns and scratches his chin.
Nikola: I suppose we'll have to get a map somewhere then. Do you think there's one with the rest of the books at the entrance to the lab?

Lorelei gets up, setting Splash on the floor and heading toward the books. She starts to look for a map.
Lorelei: Probably, can't hurt to look.
