You reach into your jacket pocket and feel the <span class="mu-r">Invitation Card</span> Professor Ginger gave you.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"You are free to leave or return whenever you choose."</span></span>
What? Smellapath said you can come back later if you want to go to the <span class="mu-r">mon research conference</span> now? Well, it is right above you, after all!
You look up at Smellapath.
"Thank you, Smellapath."
You look at Ramster! "Ram-ram!" Ramster looks a little disappointed! It seems like he was looking forward to taking a nap!
You and Ramster climb back through the big pipe and out into the ditch. It seems like none of the humans around saw you!
"Ram-ram!" What? Ramster is pointing at <span class="mu-r">the doors to the Copper Citadel Arena</span>?
It looks like there are two human men and two mons in front of the doors! The guards look down at you when you get close to them! It's a little intimidating!
You reach into your jacket pocket and take out the <span class="mu-r">Invitation Card</span>. When the guards see the <span class="mu-r">Invitation Card</span> one of the human men smiles at you and say "Go on in, miss!"
When you get inside, another human man looks at your <span class="mu-r">Invitation Card</span> and says "Follow me, please!"
It seems like you had better follow him!
The human man leads you to a big room with a lot of humans wearing labcoats! This must be the <span class="mu-r">mon research conference</span>!
You look around and see Professor Ginger and Springblok! "I just realized I don't know <span class="mu-r">your name</span>."
What? Professor Ginger wants to know what your name is? It's a good thing you already have a fake name picked out!
"Mashi."
"Come over here, I want to introduce you to some of my colleagues."
What? Professor Ginger wants you to meet some other humans? You follow her over to one of the tables. Professor Ginger points at a young human man and a young human woman.
"These are the youngest professors attending this conference. This is Professor Moss, and Professor Cherry."
The young human woman looks at you and says "So you're Professor Ginger's new protégé."
You don't know what a Protojay is, but it sounds like a flying-type mon! You glance at your back but you don't have any wings. You don't know what Professor Cherry is talking about!
What? Why are <span class="mu-r">your cheeks</span> turning red? Is it because all the human scientists are looking at you?
"Hardly. She's a mon trainer. Where did you say you were from again?"
"Rust City Arena!"
The young human man looks at you and asks "Is this your first time in the Copper Citadel Arena?"
You nod your head at him!
"Some of us are staying for <span class="mu-r">the tournament</span> this evening. Maybe I'll see you there." What? Does Professor Moss think you and Ramster are going to fight in the tournament?
Professor Cherry looks at Professor Ginger and asks "Have you seen Professor Plumtree lately?"
"Er, what? Professor Plumtree?" Professor Ginger glances at you and says "I haven't even thought about him in months!"
