This is the Canalave Library.
Please keep quiet while you’re on

# 0_1 H-hello!
This is the Canalave Library.
Please keep quiet while you’re on
the premises.
It certainly wasn’t me who screamed,
VAR(65281, 200)“Gyaaah!!”VAR(65281, 100)
VAR(65281, 200)VAR(65281, 100)or shouted,
VAR(65281, 200)“Help meee!!”VAR(65281, 100)
VAR(65281, 200)VAR(65281, 100)No, really, that wasn’t me
screaming!
# 0_2 ...
# 0_3 What is it? Please don’t disturb
me when I’m reading.
# 0_4 I’ve been asking people not to
disturb me while I’m reading...
I shouldn’t even have bothered...
I’m all agitated now!
# 0_5 The ceiling-high bookshelves are
crammed with books.
# 0_6 The shelves are lined with books
worn from being read by many people.
# 0_7 Lucian: ...Ah, hello.
You’re here to read, too?
Books are wonderful things.
The thoughts of people written in books
stretch beyond time and space.
# 0_8 I imagine we’ll see each other again
at the Pokémon League. Take care.
# 0_9 I was just reading a collection of
letters written by an artist long ago.
More precisely, they were written to
the artist’s younger brother.
“The stars above tantalize from
across infinite space.
“Feeling their gaze from so far away,
I am charmed again by life.”
The artist must have come to a
conclusion seeing the night sky...
It’s an affirmation of life.
It’s very moving.
# 0_10 I was just reading an analytical tome on
humankind.
It examines the human species from
cultural and social perspectives.
This is a thought-provoking quote:
“It all began without humans.\fThe end will also be without humans.”
The world we share with Pokémon...
Does it exist for us?
# 0_11 I was just reading a collection of
observations on Pokémon in the wild.
One article addresses the question why
Pokémon would go into a Poké Ball.
According to the article, this behavior
is based on instinct.
A weakened Pokémon will curl up tight
in an effort to heal itself.
The Poké Ball was invented to take
advantage of that protective instinct.
# 0_12 I was just reading a collection of
essays on the science-fiction genre.
There was one quote attributed to a
novelist I found remarkable.
“Though love may lose, kindness wins.”
I find that philosophical and, at the
same time, compassionate.
# 0_13 I was just reading a book of philosophy
from an ancient, far-off land.
Their “universe” was a word that
described both space and time.
That people even back then understood
the basic tenets of the universe...
It fills me with a serene sense of
inspiration.
