111. negotiate: to succeed in going over, coping with or accomplishing
Green frowned a little as he poked at his lunch. The Pokecenter gave really cheap lunches, and though the portions were large enough, Green did not feel up to eating so much rice porridge. Trying to put his mind off of the unappealing porridge, he planned his challenge against Brock. ...Brock's type choice was kind of bad, to be honest, as either Blastoise or Venusaur would be more than capable of mowing down his pokemon. Green forced down a couple more mouthfuls of porridge before leaving.
Green smiled as he negotiated the way-too-simple "maze" Brock had set up. When he arrived at Brock's challenge platform, he grinned at Brock's confusion.
112. submissive: willing to obey without resistance; docile
"Hey... Long time no see?" Brock offered tentatively.
"Yeah. You know, let's skip formalities. I'm going around collecting all the gym leaders' signatures so nobody can complain that I'm unfair."
"...You're doing it by force?"
Green shrugged. "Words and Surge don't really mix. Let's make this a quick one." Green released Venusaur and Brock grimaced.
"Dude... that's overkill, you know how many kids come and give my buddies a hard time with just politags?"
Green laughed. "Venusaur, use Giga Drain." Venusaur rolled his eyes - just a razor leaf would probably be adequate - but was submissive. One by one, Graveler, Rhyhorn, Onix, Omastar, and Kabutops fell. Brock forced a smile and signed Green's petition.
113. encumber: to burden or weigh down
Brock looked hardly encumbered with sadness or frustration at his defeat; he took it fairly well, and waved as Green left. Green furrowed his eyebrows. Really, who actually trained and had strong pokemon and competed seriously these days? Green hadn't battled much in the years between the battle at Indigo League and being inducted into his position a couple weeks ago, but he was still able to defeat people without much problem. Is this how Red felt, stuck up the mountain waiting for a decent challenger?
114. endeavor: a serious attempt or effort
Since defeating Brock had been far less of an endeavor than Green had remembered, he spent his afternoon browsing through stores of overpriced trinkets made from precious and semi-precious stones mined from both the local area and Mt. Moon.
115. inextricable: incapable of being solved or untangled
Green looked through an array of supposedly ancient pokemon embedded in amber. Most of the pokemon were tiny, tiny bugs that were probably so fragile as to be inextricable because of fear of them shattering upon opening the amber. With the storekeeper's consensus, Green let Aerodactyl out; the dinosaur attracted a lot of attention, and it sat patiently as the customers at the store and the storekeeper stroked its back in awe. The dinosaur seemed perplexed as Green discussed the ancient pokemon restoration project avidly with the storekeeper, and could not make head nor tail of "DNA extraction... organ recreation, trigeminal and cranial nerve difficulties..."
116. scruple: a moral principle that restrains actions
It was one Green's scruples to not ask or pry information (a fellow intern had one complained and Green had been extremely self-conscious of his wording to his peers ever since). However, he had no rules to stop people from willingly telling him information. He was amazed to see that since the first three discoveries around six years ago (Omastar, Kabuto and Aerodactyl), scientists across the world had used similar techniques to find various other fossil pokemon. He was absorbed in a magazine the storekeeper offered him with a documentation of new equipment and all successful experiments (there was a surprising consistency of about two unique fossils per region: Cradily, Anorith, Craniados, Shieldon, Tirtouga, Archen, Tyrunt, and Amaura).
117. antediluvian: very old; outdated
Green recalled the equipment that had been used in the first restoration project - he'd downloaded pictures of it onto his phone to look back on the even proudly. However, comparing it to the kind of machines used in Unova and Kalos, he felt that Kanto's technology was quite sadly antediluvian; he lamented the lack of funds for scientific research in Pewter and the storekeeper agreed.
118. innate: possessed at birth; inborn
When Green left the shop, he felt vaguely awkward in not having introduced himself or even asking the storekeeper's name, but focused on Aerodactyl's behavior. The dinosaur was currently ogling an amber necklace Green had purchased and placed around its neck. He cawed happily, and Green patted Aerodactyl on one of his bony wings. Aerodactyl had refused to leave without Green buying the necklace; maybe he was feeling some innate connection to the amber, and just was happy to have a remnant of a species of its former time. Whatever Aerodactyl was thinking, he was happy, and that was good enough for Green. It made a good excuse too, as he bought another one for Leaf.
119. hedonist: someone who seeks only pleasure
That night, after wandering the streets to find his hotel and a porridge restaurant (porridge really was a Pewter thing), Green retired to his room. The room was in a way excitingly unfamiliar, and he tried to note where the trash cans and chairs were so he wouldn't happen to stumble on a hypothetical midnight trip to the bathroom. He lay on his bed and closed his eyes, smelling the dusty air.
Green's jangling phone startled him as he fumbled it out of his back pants pocket.
"Hey! How's Pewter? You found the hotel right?"
"Everything's ok. Have you seen the fossil pokemon from Unova?"
"OH MY GOSH YESS Archeops is sooo cute! D'you have a favorite?"
Green snorted. "Unlike Gramps, I'm not a hedonist that has all the money and time to spend visiting labs across the world."
"Hey, that's rude, I travel too!
120. rote: mechanical memorization, often without full understanding
As if just to frustrate Green further, Leaf listed off the pokedex descriptions of all the fossil pokemon (probably by rote). He groaned and cut her off in the middle of "Armaldo's claws can cut through anything" to say good night and hung up.
Red's pokemon had been fairly cooperative, but Green was sure that they missed Red. What about his own pokemon? Did they miss Green? As if sensing his discomfort, Eevee crawled on top of Green's head and plopped down over his eyes. Green tried to relocate the pokemon as a hair got in his eye. He definitely was not tearing up.
