A Day with Lucian

One day, Scottie noticed Lucian and Acerola talking about something.

I'll try to get it back to you as soon as possible.

Oh, it's no problem! Take your time!

No, that wouldn't be right. Hmm... What to do...

Oh, Scottie! Well...

Oh, Scottie! Well...

Acerola has lent me a compilation of legends and folklore from the Alola region.

But since I've only just arrived on Pasio, I'm so busy that I don't think I'll have much time to read.

It's a very precious book, so I really shouldn't keep it for too long...

You really don't need to worry about it!

That's very kind of you to say...

I really am looking forward to reading the book. I would like to start it soon.

That being said, I can't neglect my training to prepare for battling here on Pasio.

It's times like this that make me a bit envious of Girafarig.

The answer lies with Girafarig's heads.

Well observed. Yes, precisely that.

Girafarig has two heads, a front one and a rear one.

The rear head isn't the best thinker, but it's very good at battling. It also has no need for sleep.

Because of that, it can keep a constant eye on its surroundings while the front head is sleeping.

Even though they share the same body! What a strange Pokémon!

Indeed. Sometimes I wish that I also had two heads: one that could stay up late reading as much as I wish...

and one that could concentrate on battling, as a member of the Elite Four should.

But of course that's entirely unrealistic.

At Sinnoh's Pokémon League, I get my reading done while waiting for challengers.

Time is a limited resource, after all, and I try to make good use of it.

Hmm, maybe I'll read books, too, while I'm waiting for challengers at the League in Alola!

Yes, go ahead. I recommend it.

Oh, Acerola!

I came to return the book you lent me as reference material!

Oh, you must be...

Oh, I know! Shauntal, why don't you have Lucian read your book? He loves reading, too!

R-really?!

My name's Shauntal! I'm a novelist!

I'm working on a novel right now! Would you mind reading it for me?

So you are an author, as I thought! Yes, of course I'd love to read it.

But at this rate...even two heads won't be enough.

What would you do in this situation, Girafarig?
