[There was a soft melody playing in the background, along with the sound of paws pattering about. Some heavier steps. The music clearly from a music box that sounded as if it was sat somewhere closer to the shellphone—]

This is Professor Turo, and my apologies for perhaps a late statement that I may not be so easily found as usual the last several days; a few days more as well. Less time spent walking Cosmo, other places.

Of course I can still be reached over these, but I have been taking some time to myself. Finishing up a few projects, making room for others that are more in progress. Preparation for possible adoption candidates at Cosmo Conservatory -next month may do well for that- so I can be found within the medical building there once more at the very least.

[—that melody hanging in the air for a few notes. It at least helped to soothe...]

If anything is needed do not hesitate to contact me, but I bid you adieu for now.

[There was a bit of meat tugged out from a container in his pocket, which Turo tossed upwards as he moved away from the overhead terraces; the snake bloom caught it before it could start falling back down, retreating to enjoy the reward for a behaved grooming.]

This way then, they've taken up near the flower patches. [Turo had expanded the garden a decent bit, the energy shields that had been tweaked to react like a greenhouse helping with that given they could be snapped into any place or shape.

Amongst the flowers there were a few hopping little bunnies that blended a little into the various patches. Butterflies and bees calmly moving above them as well, as if the hops helped further attract them.]

I came in here a few mornings ago to find one, and a few more have managed their way in. They haven't been nibbling on anything, and where they are seems to have growth thrive.

[His attention might have been caught on those shields around the garden for a moment. Curious about them. If they're helping to regulate the garden, that be kind of useful on his ship. When there's the sound of movement, his attention diverts to the source.

He stares. Rabbits? He quietly observes, listening to Turo's explanation. He can see they have flowers on them...it's kind of cute.] Maybe it's a sign your garden is in good health if they're here.

That has been a theory of mine, and I hope it is so. [Spoken softly- even as one of the rabbits with purple blooms amongst white fur perks up, sitting up for a moment and locating both Turo and Shadow visibly after hearing them. It ducked back down—] Even in the world I am from, pokémon appear in places suitable for them and in good health—aside from the pokémon born from pollution and trash, of course.

[—that same rabbit popping out of the flower patches, hopping towards them, stopping as it landed with front paws on Turo's foot, looking up at the both of them.]

... It is also partly due to me wanting to know I am doing well when it comes to this garden. A reassurance, I suppose. [Spoken as he lowered, sitting on his feet so as not to disturb the rabbit there that kept its front paws in place, a hand offered. That little soft furred nose skimming over his palm to sniff, wiggling as they tended to.]

I've made a sort of 'door' in the energy shielding so they can come and go as they please.

...You have pokemon born from pollution? [There are those who learn to adapt in more unpleasant environments, but never actually born from it. Shadow remains still, watching the rabbit approach Turo. He neither attempts to interact, or back away should the rabbits choose to investigate him.]

Have you failed to maintain a garden in the past?

[fractales]

Yes, and even some regional variants changed due to pollution of the world as well. A rather firm reminder how close to Nature they are, and how deeply that people can cause that change. [As people changed the world, the world changed pokémon in some places as a result. That new pokemon would come into existance due to it as well.

A second rabbit had come up, a third waiting by the patches, sitting up briefly to scent the air as it hopped to stop by Turo and the first briefly. Scenting before hopping along, watching Shadow carefully.

Turo was careful, fingers brushing along the fur of the rabbit that was still with him.]

Truthfully? I have... never gotten to maintain one before this world, and this is the first one I started. To see it progress as it has, and even have one around my cottage, has been rewarding—even if I still wonder.
