Somewhere that actually pertained to my interests!
Oreburgh is a very nice town, though it is rather small. In the morning Mars and Aunt Theresa took us to the Oreburgh Mining Museum, which, though it may sound boring to some people...most people...everyone but me and Roark people...was actually quite interesting! Though it might be because I'm one of the few people who actually thinks the formation of coal is cool... I think Archie was bored, though he did seem to perk up a bit at the exhibit explaining how the coal mines extended under the ocean (in an environmentally friendly manner, of course). However, the best part of the Museum was without a doubt the fossil resurrection room. Though we weren't allowed to go inside, per say, I did get to peek into the room--it looks so scientific! And it's free for the public to make use of! It isn't even close to that easy to get fossils revived in Hoenn! I think I know where I'll be sending my fossils now...A baby Anorith had just been revived--it was adorable! I'm always so fascinated, thinking about how it had actually lived hundreds of thousands of years ago...
After Roark got out of the gym, he took us to the actual mines, which was also very interesting to no one but me. Roark and I actually dug for some fossils; but since we didn't want to tamper with the mines all that much, we didn't use powerful tools, and didn't find anything, as expected. Roark promised he'd take me to the Sinnoh Underground sometime to do some real searching. I'm sure Mars and Archie are thrilled.
We all went out for dinner after that, which was very fun. I've realized I need to visit more often.
All in all, it was a great day, despite the fact that Archie made fun of me the whole time for liking, and I quote, "stupid boring smart-person stuff". We'll be returning to Hearthome tomorrow, where we can participate in, and again I quote, "poffin-making and contests and taking our Pokemon for walks in that adorable little Amity Square Park thing we saw and...uh... (cough) man stuff." Sometimes I wonder about you, Archie.
