"Uh, this little fellow is actually Lugia, but it ran away from home," Heath said, scratching his head. Little Lugia was far too curious. Heath himself did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, but he felt it probably was not a good thing. After all, he had seen what excessive curiosity could lead to.
