Morelet leads Angela by the hands, and starts the beginning of a slow dance with her. He spins her around gently and instructs her on the footwork.

[Morelet]

"We can make a Musical star out of you yet! It's not so hard if you go slow, and really take your time to learn the moves and vibe with the rhythm."

"Know what I mean? Wink wink?"

[Kappa]

"That's the lady who made your grilled cheese this morning."

[Nema]

"...Wait, really?"

Yeah, that is something worth checking out. Plus, I have a hunch that her other housemates know about that, too. She knows what she’s talking about, I’ll give her that.

... That could’ve been anyone. There were tons of vacuums in that place. Including, yes, other Kirbys. Plus, many other brands. You name it, they had it.

Oh boy. Blaine ya better have a convincing argument!

Pollux stood up from his seat and cleared his throat. "Perhaps I can act as a tour guide to the library, being the head librarian."

Castor gave the Lycanroc a pat on the shoulder. "You can do this, brother!" He exclaimed. 

"I will try to …" Pollux said in a slightly enthusiastic tone. 

"Don't worry, I'll handle the city hall while you're away." Ptolemus said in a reassuring tone. 

~~~  ~~~  ~~~

The library was rather large, it was almost as wide as the V.E.G.A. building. I can tell it was exactly what I remembered, save for a few new additions.

"Welcome to the Canalave Library." Pollux said proudly. 

Numerous books still lined up the shelves, all in pristine condition and arranged accordingly.

The floors that were still adorned with white ceramic tiles. The walls however, have been renovated. They are now adorned with gradients of the sky from sunrise all the way to midnight. 

"The aesthetics have been voted upon by a lot of our townspeople. Even our mentor is keen on the idea." Pollux explained. 

As we walked, we passed by some Pokemon who were either busy chatting or reading a book. Some noticed Pollux and gave them their greetings . Their conversations don't seem disruptive so I didn't mind. 

I looked around, searching for what else this library has that's new. I eventually came across a glimpse of something extraordinary.

We immediately stopped walking as we came close to what I just saw.

A large translucent sphere stood in front of us. On it's right was a mechanism of numerous buttons and switches that are presumably needed to control the sphere. 

"Ahh this … this is the Sinnoh Network. Instead of using a large television which would otherwise be impractical, we use this in order to get informed with the latest broadcasts." 

Immediately as Pollux said that, it turned on. 

"Good Morning Sinnoh Region, this is Zephyr Amihan bringing you the latest weather forecasts. In Canalave City, expect partly cloudy weather with no chance of rain. In addition, chilly breezes are to be expected. Remember to bring a sweater or else you might get a cold. That's all for now, thank you for listening…" 

"Awesome, but why would that be impractical?" I asked curiously.

"That would require shipment from Jubilife and would otherwise need an expensive income to install. This was built by none other than our finest engineers which require less income whatsoever." 

"Quite impressive if I do say so myself." Elaina also said in response. "I suppose we should take a rest."

"Good idea." I exclaimed as I turned towards Pollux. 

Pollux gave a nod of approval as he immediately found a table for us and the group to sit on. 

"Feel free to read a book. Here in this library, we have an array of books of various subjects included but not limited to: astronomy, history, fiction stories and non-fiction stories." 

He said as he adjusted his glasses. 

"And then some…" An unfamiliar voice called out from nearby. Pollux sighed as he realized who it was from. 

An oddly colored Espeon suddenly leapt towards our table to make her presence known. 

"Seems you have a lot of visitors here, Pollux." She giggled. "Perhaps you charmed them into going here?" 

The Lycanroc blushed and hid his face as he was embarrassed by what the Espeon said. 

"..." I was dumbfounded by the ordeal. "H-Hello there … you're quite new here." 

She giggled again and leapt downward from the table. She put a hand on my shoulder.

“You must be Cipher, the vigilante. Greetings … My name’s Spica, Pollux’s assistant.”

Right after she introduced herself, she looked towards Pollux who was unable to speak and just muttered with embarrassment. 

"Don't worry about him, he just flustered especially when I'm around." 

"Okay … Pleased to meet you Spica." 

I can't help but chuckle at Pollux's predicament. I also noticed Elaina was also giggling. 

"It's also quite pleasant to meet you Spica. I suppose it's safe to assume that you're his … " Elaina also greeted the Espeon but was abruptly interrupted mid-sentence. 

"Mate? Absolutely! I do fancy seeing you too, serene fox." Spica said grinning. Immediately after saying so, she quickly walked up to Pollux and nuzzled his arm before giving him a kiss on the cheek. 

Pollux sat on a chair and covered his face with his hands and looking visibly red from the ordeal. 

"Please Spica not now … you're embarrassing me in my profession …" He finally managed to speak while still covering his face.

"Okay, I'll just assist these guests of yours while you recover." She giggled as she patted his back and turned to face us. 

"Apologies for that, I just can't resist. Now without further ado I'm Spica Virgon the assistant librarian, as we've established earlier, and welcome to the Canalave Library." She said, introducing herself with a bow. 

"Feel free to enjoy your stay here and don't be afraid to ask if you have any queries." She added.
