ick sorry it ended up taking 6 hours not 4-5 whoops

291. chide: to scold

Green was pleased to note that the fast food joint offered salad, but balked at the calorie count; the calorie count for the salad was almost double that of the cheeseburger. He ordered the cheeseburger, and could imagine Leaf chiding him for caring so much about his weight.

292. byzantine: highly complicated or intricate; characterized by devious plotting

Green had become really weight conscious after one Sunday, he caught Red fresh out of the bathtub. There really was no Byzantine reason
for Green's health concerns; Green was not anorexic and did not have self image problems. It was just, well, Red was lean but fit and almost solid muscle from eating nothing but vegetables and fruits and eggs and the occasional meat Green brought. Green, a good rival, felt obliged to cut down on fatty foods to match Red but had never quite gained the same muscle mass.

293. lull: to soothe or calm; to deceive into trustfulness

Eevee happily devoured the fries and cooed her satisfaction. Green rested his head on his palm and shut his eyes, the hum of conversation soothing. Though he felt quite disgusting and sweaty (his feet hurt pretty bad; his shoes were waterproof hiking boots, but they were heavy and not suited for running), he also felt proud and tired. Neon lights flickered dimly, and a lull fell over the normally hectic city of Celadon.

Green could have dozed off right then, but Espeon sent some kind of psychic wave into his head that made him have a brain splitting headache. He shot up in his chair, hitting his head on the low hanging lamp, and cursed under his breath. The purple feline was sleepy and eager to be recalled. Green shot the pokeball's red laser at the pokemon a little angrily before sighing and rubbing his head.

294. homogeneous: uniform; of the same kind

Green had been unable to finish the orange juice he'd ordered (17 and drinking orange juice was totally ok) so he decided on keeping it in the hotel room's fridge and drinking it the next morning.

To his surprise, Eevee was still full with energy even as they trudged back. Green knew that Eevee was all for night time romps, but he'd never been sure if that was because he was bottle up in his room all day or if Eevee just really like night time. Green, his eyes bleary and his body tired, simply followed the hyper pokemon to the hotel, and drearily picked up his legs one by one to climb the stairs.

After arriving at his room, he put the lidded cup of orange juice into the tiny, dank smelling refrigerator. Showering and washing and brushing did not do much to increase his level of awareness, so when he flopped onto the bed he immediately passed out.

The next morning featured several surprises. One of the stranger ones was that his supposedly homogeneous orange juice had settled into a layer of pulp and a layer of watery juice. He grimaced and tossed the cup in the trash can.

295. hypothesis: a tentative explanation; something assumed true for the sake of argument or investigation

The more exciting surprise was that Eevee had literally transformed overnight; she'd evolved into an Umbreon. Green had made quite a few hypotheses on her eventual transformation, and thus was not incredibly shocked, but he was ecstatic to see that she'd finally made the decision to evolve. He assured her of his happiness by giving her a Daisy-style massage (Daisy'd forced him to learn it and it proved to be extremely helpful and boosting friendliness) and dishing out extra treats.

296. shoal: an area of shallow water

Before leaving for Saffron, Green grabbed a handful of newspapers to occupy him during the flight. On the front cover, that ridiculous Team Plasma had yet again made headlines, this time talking about the brutality of humans that participated in aquaculture and bulldozed coral reefs and shoals.

297. satire: irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack human vice or folly, especially in a literary work

Green really found Team Plasma to be nothing more than a joke. They seemed to satirize the human race itself in their propaganda half the time. Honestly, pokemon were extremely powerful and fully capable of uniting and starting a rebellion if they found it necessary; in fact, humans had almost nothing in terms of ability to defend from wild pokemon attacks on their own. Domesticated pokemon chose to be with humans for company and for adventure; if they ever chose to run away, there was really not much to stop them.

298. goad: to prod or urge, as if with a pointed stick

Green read through the article and got more and more frustrated at the lack of logic in Plasma's argument, and goaded Pidgeotto to fly faster. He was having difficulty flipping to other pages because of the wind, and he thought it'd be better to just wait until he landed to finish up the newspaper.

299. figment: something that is created; something that is imagined

Route 7 was fairly short, and Pidgeotto slowed down for landing only a half an hour or so after taking flight. Among the flashing signboards of Saffron, he spotted a picture of Gold and Silver hugging; what the heck? It was some LGBT ad, and Green wasn't sure whether to feel surprised the two actually were a couple (their names were impossibly coincidental... Not like Green was one to speak) or amazed that Silver would willingly broadcast his relationship. Well, judging by his sour face (that blush was probably photoshopped; maybe the whole thing was photoshopped), he had probably not participated willingly. Green snapped a picture just to make sure. Silver would probably dismiss it as a figment if Green's imagination if he didn't have evidence.

300. centrifugal: moving away from the center

Pidgeotto banked sharply to avoid some crazy spearows. Green almost dropped right off because of the centrifugal force (centripetal actually, centrifugal force was a fictitious force) and the fact that his hands had not been clinging into Pidgeotto's neck feathers and instead busy trying to focus his phone camera on the ad. Green cursed as he felt himself lose contact with the bird, and panicked - and then Pidgeotto caught him and cooed apologetically before landing roughly.
