Nikola gives a firm nod and follows her out into the entrance room.
Nikola: True enough. Maybe we can find some good information for raising young pokemon as well.

Lorelei nods and picks scans the book titles, looking for anything promising. She picks up and skims any book that looks likely to contain any useful information.

There are a few books about how to train new pokemon, a couple books on good catching techniques and other books on all the various items that involve the pokedex. Finally, you will see something wedge between a few books, an old map of Kanto.
Nikola continues to rummage, pulling a book from the shelf and looking at it before looking over to you.
Nikola: Did you find anything?

Lorelei sets aside the books that look useful, stacking them neatly. She grabs the map and unfolds it.
Lorelei: Here we are! And these are the books that look useful.

Nikola tilts his head at the books and then offers up the one in his hands as well. A guide to successful evolution.
Nikola: I don't think they would mind if we borrowed the books. If Prof. Oak is like my pop then he has all these books in triplicate.

Lorelei nods, albeit a bit dubiously, worried about taking without asking.
Lorelei: Well, you would know best. Must be great, having a famous pokemon professor as a dad.
Splash yips in agreement.

Nikola gives a slightly embaressed smile and a shrug.
Nikola: It has it's good points and bad points. You learn a lot, but it's kind of wierd missing a holiday because dad wants to go out and record pidgey migration routes.

Lorlei shakes her hair back and laughs.
Lorelei: Try spending a holiday waiting on twenty tables full of tourists because one of the regular waitresses called in sick, and your parents can't get another one on short notice. The Pidgey will start looking very attractive.
She bends her head and studies the map, looking for the proper route to Pewter.

Nikola chuckles as he looks over her shoulder.
Nikoka: Well...I suppose this will be a welcome vacation for both of then. No really random pokemon watching episodes for me and no waiting tables for you. Kind of win-win if you ask me.

Lorelei furrows her brow, still examining the map.
Lorelei: No waiting tables, no lifeguarding, manning the phones or the front desk, and especially no looking after my brothers and sisters. Are you going to tell your father that you're going?

Nikola laughs and shakes his head.
Nikola: At this point I could tell pop that the world was ending and he wouldn't hear me. I'll send him some mail in about a day or so when he's come off the high of visiting another professor.

Lorelei looks a little worried, knowing what her parents would do if she suddenly vanished like that without a word.
Lorelei: Are you sure? My parents would call out the army if I just vanished on them like that.

Nikola shakes his head.
Nikola: Trust me on this one. When he's talking pokemon research he forgets what day it is.

Lorelei's brow furrows momentarily but whatever criticism she's thinking she doesn't voice it, soon smiling sunnily again.
Lorelei: Well, you know your father best. Did you want to get going right away?

Nikola notices the small frown and sighs.
Nikola: Well...how about this? I'll send him a message from my pokedex. I don't want to get dragged into whatever they're talking about in the other room.
Nikola takes a moment to think.
Nikola: We can leave whever you are ready. I've got all my stuff packed.
