Harley is sitting cross-legged on a random Nexus couch today. She has found a pamphlet from the Pokémart and is looking through some of the Pokémon that could be adopted and trained.

She seems in a good mood today. Twirling her hair, as she reads the pamphlet. And there is a huge bag of caramel popcorn at her side.

"If you could have any kind of pet, what kind of animal or creature would you have?"

"What do you think qualifies as being a suitable pet owner?"

"Great! The Pokedex is your hand is now yours. Use it to scan any Pokemon you may encounter in the Nexus, as that information will be sent back to me for research. If you'd like, I can also set you up with some tools to catch wild Pokemon for starters. I know some people don't like the idea of capturing Pokemon, which I can respect."

Poochyena must have a taste of leather, as he continues trying to nip at Harley's feet. When she boops him on the nose again, he grows and starts barking...at her shoe. Seems like he still has lots to learn.

"Time heals all wounds, they say." He offers Poochy's Pokeball to Harley. "Pokemon and people share spirits and personalities."

"What would I do with these wild Pokémon? Would they upset Poochyena?" That would be her greatest concern.

Speaking of Poochyena, Harley uses the Pokedex to scan him. So she can learn about his strengths. His weaknesses. What he likes to eat.

"We will learn about each other. Won't we Poochyena." She holds the Pokeball to her heart.

"Well, many people keep other Pokemon around as friends. Some Pokemon like to battle or participate in contest shows and trainers help Pokemon achieve those goals."

He ponders on her comment for a moment, while Poochyena takes a seat near her feet.

"It could happen, so be mindful of how Poochyena acts around any wild Pokemon you may find. I trust you'll do what's best for him though."

Harley carefully reaches out to scratch Poochyena between the ears. "I am sure he will tell me what he wants. Right, Poochyena?"

The Pokemon gives off a happy bark, then nudges Harley's leg, as if asking when they can leave. Professor Madrone merely smiles at the scene.

"Of course. You're welcome back here anytime, Harley."

"Thanks Professor!" Harley holds out her Pokeball so that Poochyena can decide if he wants to go inside of it.

"I will be back. I will want to visit Bulbasaur."
