That was a good point. What would he do without the lab? It was a curious thought, but there was an offer Red had made and he should get to fulfilling that. He turns to his pokémon, seeing Blastoise and Snorlax still chatting - they're two of the more social types on his team, with Venusaur giving a word in now and then. Charizard herself was more happy to just listen, though happy wasn't quite a good word to describe her right now.

But she was keeping her grievances well enough to herself. Not enough for Red not to notice it when he catches her gaze and how questioning it is - but she was his first, and he knew how to look past her outer appearance. She'd been there before when the conversation about different possible worlds or whatever had happened, but she had thought it nothing but stupid nonsense. And now the professor just didn't know them at all? He didn't recognise her?

Red shakes his head, walking to put an arm on her, giving her a sympathetic smile. "How about getting some rest while I show the professor around? Charizard," he looks to the others, "Venusaur, Lapras."

Ah, but what was the professor going to do? Red turns his head back to him.

"Are you going to keep Dragonite out?"

He could keep Blastoise and Snorlax out if so, but he didn't want to walk around the city with everyone out of their ball.
