Haruki listened to what Almond had to say in regards to her spoken thoughts. She had to admit, Almond raised a very good point. It was strange that the shadows were taking a stealthier approach to their attack than the shadows in their world. She thought on his question, recalling what had happened earlier, and she answered him, "Maybe it has something to do with what that guy said back in our world?" Their leaders and their 'cores'...Were those two things the reason why the shadows are trying to not bring attention to themselves? And how would they be able to recognize a leader of those shadows, or the core for that matter? They were going off of so little information. She sort of wished that that guy was here to explain himself. After falling silent, she looked to Professor Oak and saw that he seemed to be analyzing them. She listened as he spoke to them (realizing that he hadn't been eavesdropping earlier judging from his words), and she immediately knew where he was going with his point: He wanted proof. Her guess was confirmed after Almond asked for clarification. Before she could even think of something, Almond had taken care of it, talking to Professor Oak about his nephews, Blue and Red. She wondered briefly about Ash, but she shrugged it off, noticing how Professor Oak had gone pale from the information. She was glad that he took their word, the method of proving their words to be true may not have been ideal, but it worked. She walked over to the steel table with Professor Oak and listened to what he had to say. She was somewhat surprised to hear that Professor Oak was willing to let them take a starter Pokemon with them. After he finished, she nodded and answered him gratefully, "We can't thank you enough, Professor Oak," Soon enough he had gone to bed and Dragonite had followed after him. Once he was gone and the lights had gone out, she looked to Almond seriously, being quiet so as to not wake Professor Oak, "Almond...the next time we meet someone, can you please be more careful about what you say? We were lucky this time, but even still, you saw how Professor Oak reacted to that information. I wouldn't be surprised if we told anyone else, they would have worse reactions than that," After his answer, she turned her attention back to the pokeballs, and she mumbled "Now, where do they display the information," After seeing a couple of buttons, she pressed one and a holographic screen appeared, showing a Squirtle and giving basic information on it, just like in the game.
