[ Now, this is a very familiar view to those that have known the Professor for some time; the Pokegear placed down on a small coffee table angled in such a way to film its owner, a open notebook with a fountain pen nearby, a hot cup of Belle Classic tea, and the great Professor himself. From the surroundings, it seems that he's in a Pokemon Centre-- Violet City's centre to be exact. He will go to a cafe, but he is getting his Pokemon healed so he doesn't mind spending some time here.

He takes a single sip from his teacup and adjusts his hat. A true gentleman should always look proper before an audience and having a dry voice is no good. However, it seems as if he's not looking too proper right now. ]

It seems as if another festival has passed us by. I do have to admit that this has been one of the first few times I have celebrated Easter in quite a while and it has been lovely to attend this festival with others. I hope that everyone else has had a great time as well.

[ At this point, a small Teddiursa pops into the view. She struggles to climb onto the table from the Professor lap but does so. She stares at the Pokegear, clearly interested in the little device. The Professor just chuckles, picking up the small Pokemon and placing her back on his lap. She doesn't struggle much but continues to look at the gear by standing on his lap. ]

I will have to thank Miles for sending me this Teddiursa from the egg hunt in Goldenrod. As you can see, it has hatched just recently. The egg I have received mysteriously such as from Christmas has hatched as well. I believe that it is called a 'Turtwig'.

[ The Professor picks up his gear and points it beside his chair where the little Turtwig is playing around with an Eevee that has hatched just a few weeks ago. Layton then places the Pokegear back on the coffee table where it can point towards him. ]

I have not named either of them yet, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The Teddiursa is a female while the Turtwig is a male. I'm afraid that both are a bit picky in their names though. [ The Teddiursa agrees by nodding her head. ]

Ah, but that is not the reason why I have made this post. In fact, it is to concerning about something I have asked back in November.

Some months ago, I have offered to go exploring in the Alph Ruins, old and abandoned ruins that are located just outside of Violet City. Rumour has it that it might hold a key as to returning back home or hold information as to how and why we have arrived here. While I am a professor, I am also an archeologist so studying these ruins will be a great interest to me.

I am here to ask if anyone will like to come and explore these ruins with me whenever it might be to find any clues or just to look around. I believe that we can find many different things there, so it will benefit many.

I will be providing food to everyone that will come along, though it will be very kind if anyone can help me supply a bit too. Please do inform me if you have any kind of allergy to certain foods so I can keep it in mind when shopping. If we also have anyone that can cook for this trip, I will be very grateful if they can do so.

To those located in other cities and away from Violet, I will be more than glad to lend a few of my Pokemon to ride upon to cut the travel time. I can also clear the Sudowoodo for anyone to take the shortcut from Goldenrod into Violet.

This trip will take place from May 6th to the 8th where we will be staying there for three days and two nights, so that will give everyone about a week and a half to decide and travel. If if you cannot make it but will like to hear on whatever we might discover, I will gladly share any information over the network.

Please do contact me if you are interested in this trip with me and thank you.

[ And with that, the Professor turns off his Pokegear. ]
