Faust adjusted his glasses as he inspected the hybrid invisible pink unicorn more closely.
"But where is the horn?" he demanded. "A unicorn without a horn is like a dog without a face, like a sundae without a cherry on top, like myself without a loyal following of the world's greatest minds! It's unthinkable, unheard of! It can't be done, NAY mustn't be done! Tell me, boy, WHERE IS IT'S HORN??"

Joey looked at the crazy grown-up. "Um, Growlithe don't have horns. Look, seriously, if you are looking for a pink unicorn, you want a color-variation Rapidash. I'm sure a breeder somewhere could help you." Joey made a mental note to never let this freak touch his Lily Rose.

"A growlithe?" Johannes examined the hybrid unicorn closer. Madness! Anyone could see this was a-
"Well, would you look at that. It is a growlithe. Huh. Must be getting old. Now! Where are my manners? My name is Dr. Johannes G. Faust. I am a pokemon researcher, folk medicine practitioner, and the leading expert on the invisible pink unicorn." He finished with a sweeping bow accompanied by a small stumble.

Heal watched the madness that was apparently a scientist he was pretty sure forgot to take their chemical balancing medicine...."If they are invisible...how do you know they are pink?" The young healer quickly picked up his shiny Eevee to keep away from this odd man. "...and also..wouldn't that mean that they could be around us at any time without us being aware of their presence...?"

"Ah, my dear lad! Being pink and being invisible are nut mutually exclusive! Rather, they bring out the best in each other, like cheese and wine, peanut butter and jelly, a zangoose and a seviper! For you see, an invisible pink unicorn is but one of many variants of invisible unicorns, like the more common invisible blue unicorn, and the slightly rarer invisible beige unicorn. They come in many colors and shades, but the pink ones are the cutest, comparable to a pachirisu burrowing into a skull's eyes to store nuts for the winter! Surely one as bursting with energy and curiosity as yourself can understand this, yes?"
He smiled broadly as he finished, leaning over Heal expectantly.

Joey, deciding that the pokemon fighting over his bike were less scary than this new dude, went back and shooed the two off his bike. He then tucked a towel in the front basket and settled Lily Rose in it. "There girl. Now I can see you while I ride, and you can see me, or look around, or sleep! Oh, wait, I almost forgot! Here you go girl!" Joey dropped several strips of dried meat, a few berries, and a fist full of milkbones in one corner of the basket. "There you go, breakfast!"

Heal leaned slightly away while Arthmael the ninetail gave Dr. Faust a warning growl. "....You are a mental patient, aren't you? I didn't know there was an Asylum near by, but we would be glad to call the people if you just show us your tags and they'll come pick you up and show you the invisible pink unicorns after you take your pills...."

Faust blinked a few times before arching back and roaring with laughter. "Ah, a comedian! It's been years since I've seen one of you perform! What's next, knock-knock jokes? No, but seriously, kid. I've been traveling the globe for 4 times as long as you've been gulping air. I was like you once. Young, energetic, snarky. But let this old timer tell you something: I may be old, I may seem crazy, but if there's one thing I'm not, it's crazy. Old, certainly. But not crazy. Merely enlightened."

Four times....that meant that this crazy man was about 52 years old....then again, being that Faust couldn't possible know his age, Heal had to think that this man was probably older. "Yes..comedy...." His eyes searched quickly over the man's wrists and neck. Nope, no tags that normally accompany mental patients..."Okay, you are scientist....you should have some credentials with you, right? Could I see them?"

Faust cocked his head. "Men of science require no papers to show they are thus. All the credentials one needs are in one's noggin. I swear, children these days."

Yes, but your noggin is completely fried, old man. Of course, Heal didn't say that. "Yeah well......There is no invisible pink unicorns around here.......and we have to get moving, you go ahead and looked around for your precious discovery. After all, I am sure your animal is very shy and we are a rather large group."

"Actually, it's quite the contrary, young man! The only thing the invisible pink unicorn is known more for than it's cuteness is it's undeniable sociability! A group like this would be just perfect for attracting the majestic beasts! In fact, I think I will grace you all with my extended presence for that very reason. Yes, I think I will. You should be deeply grateful that the great Johannes G. Faust is taking time to spend with such inferior minds. Perhaps some of my great knowledge may rub off on you, if you stop being so rebellious." He nodded to himself absentmindedly.

Shina, watching this rather confusing exchange, was a bit torn. Now, she didn't want to be unsocial, but this man...seemed insane. So she was a bit reluctant to offer him a bike and a spot in the caravan. On the other hand, he hadn't done anything bad, other than act a bit loopy, so she really didn't have much cause to throw him out either. Shina decided that she would just..."forget" to offer him a bike in the morning confusion. If he kept up, fine. If not...well, he would probably end up exploring the plains for his invisible pink unicorns. Really, she had no obligation to accept everyone who stumbled across the group into the caravan, though she also had no right to tell anyone that they couldn't travel the same path, at the same speed, as the group. She would just leave this gentleman to his delusions and let things fall as they may.

Of course, why would logic work on an invisible pink unicorn. Heal's eye twitched a little at being called inferior minded. "....." He promptly turned towards his ninetails, speaking loudly enough to be heard by the doctor. "Arthmael, this is an order, if I start talking and thinking like this insane ludicrous moron of a man, you have my full and utter permission to RIP OUT MY THROAT, Ok?" He smiled sweetly at the pokemon who could only nod while giving his trainer a weird look.
"Good. Now..." He smiled charmingly at 'Doctor' Faust. "Do you have any transport, sir? Like a rapidash, zebriska or arcanine? Perhaps the taurus that kicked you in the head on the way here? Hmmm? No? Then I am sure Shina will be able to accommodate you with a bicycle. I am sure a man your age will have no problem keeping up with us energetic youth."

....Drat. Called on her bad behavior. Shina came forward with a warm smile. She was very good at those, even when she didn't really feel them. "Of course. Would you care for a bike? I am Shina Kiremono, the caravan leader."
