There is something entirely different about the area. It is still grassy, but it is the wrong grass. In the wrong places. Also, the sky is different, the trees are wrong, and the air has a different smell to it.

Like mystery creatures that the little yellow thing does not know. It does not smell of any clefairy, jigglypuff, caterpie, ekans, or anything familiar.

The yellow thing takes a few moments to look around for any immediate danger, then to wait and see if the weirdness will fix itself.

It doesn't.

So, it is time to do the obvious thing, which is to wander around and see if anything here is edible.

"Well, if you can find out what it eats," Barbara's voice continues in Dinah's ear, "I can see about having some waiting when you land."

Dinah keeps smiling as she sits on the floor near the thing.

"I have no idea," she says. "Hey, Pikachu. Do you want anything to eat?"

"PIKAPI!" it replies, hopping forward happily. YES YES FEED THE YELLOW THING!

"It would help if you could tell us what," Dinah observes, standing.

She heads to the fridge and opens it to scan inside.

OOOH CAKE. HERS!

COLD THING! WHOA! It shivers, then peers inside.

OMG FOOD! THERE IS FOOD RIGHT THERE INSIDE.

So it is now scaling the fridge shelves. Destination: cake.

"Hfffffph!"

This is Dinah's cake, that she's pulling away from the refrigerator urgently.

"Kachuu!" Nooo, cake!

OK, so that's out. It doesn't want to fight with anyone.

Hey, here's an apple. Apples are pretty good, too. Not as good as cake, but hey. It grabs the fruit and hops out again.

"Pikachu."

Dinah uses her hip to shut the door of the refrigerator.

"OK, it likes apples, I think," she tells Babs, smiling again. "And hey - Zinda's been hiding cake from me again."

But then she sits down again on the floor, staring at the little creature.

She wants to keep him.

It plops down across from her, happily munching. It returns the stare, though its gaze keeps drifting to the cake.

Apple's still pretty awesome, though. Definitely better than an empty belly.

After a few of those glances, Dinah reluctantly offers a bit of her cake.it's not fun if you don't share, after all.

And this is going to be a fun journey to the farm.

BIG SHINY EYES.

"pikaaaa..." It takes a bite, chewing and savoring, then rolls on the floor in pure bliss.

mmmm, cake.

Dinah squeals in complete delight.

"It's good, huh?"

"Pikapiiiiii!" it replies.

Darn good!

So, this place is already cooler than back home, just on the basis of people giving cake.
