The nonfiction bookshop is a few blocks away. Is she looking for any particular type of nonfiction?

Poems, but also some kind of how-to-take-care-of-Pokémon guide for beginners. If... they have those... for grownups.

None of them are targeted at beginners, but she can find a book on Pokémon grooming (focused on species with hair or fur), a book on "optimizing" your Pokémon's diet for "peak performance," a book on transitioning careers when your career involves working with Pokémon, a book on caring for anxious Pokémon, and a few others along those lines.

Can the proprietor recommend her anything suitable for aliens from planets where people do not catch Pokémon and battle with them if she asks?

"Uh, I can't say it's come up before. What sort of things are you hoping to learn about?"

"Well, I've got three now, and so far they seem very easy to take care of, I heal them when they're beat up and I let them out to graze occasionally - I guess I'm just assuming my Sewaddle grazes too, I was told so about the Mareep and the Psyduck. But most people I meet only have one besides the farmers who had a big Mareep flock. And I'm pretty confused about why, and if there's something that's actually really tricky about caring for them that would make it a bad idea to have lots more I need to know that."

"Oh, most species aren't all that tricky. Lots of people have two or three, more than that is rare but not unheard of, although the sort of person to collect more is mostly the sort to go exploring. I think — most Pokémon will fight better when they're close to their trainer, and that's easier the fewer you have. And if you're using a single Pokémon for every battle, it'll get stronger a lot faster than if you're rotating. Six might be a bit much, but three should be fine, as long as you're careful. —Six is the maximum you can carry on you at one time, any more than that and you've got to put some of them in storage."

"What happens if you try to carry seven?"

"There's electrical interference with the Pokéballs, you'd have to either transfer one to storage or release one of them, and if you didn't do that you might end up letting them all out by mistake."

"Oh, that does sound inconvenient, I tried letting them walk with me part of the way here but they were not very goal-oriented."

"Yeah, they don't always understand concepts like 'following a road' or 'not getting distracted fighting with random wild Pokémon.'"

"So far I haven't observed random wild Pokémon offering much choice about it!"

"Well, some're more aggressive than others. Depends on the species."

Nod, nod. "Thank you for helping me out." And she will buy some poems if they have anything good.

There's lots of poetry to pick from; she can probably find something to her taste. 

And now to the fiction store!

The fiction store is by the docks, with displays of glossy paperbacks in the window.

She wants romance novels! And dramas! And the proprietor's favorite, whatever that is!

She can find all of those things! The proprietor recommends a mystery novel about a group of children and their Pokémon investigating a string of mysterious disappearances.

Most books seem to run between 1000 and 2000 Pokédollars.

"...do you take returns to sell secondhand?"

"We'll buy them back at half cost."

Will they take silver or does she need to go get more of her silver exchanged?

He does not really seem sure what to do with the silver. She might be able to talk him into it, but probably at a worse exchange rate than the Pokémon Center shop gave her.

Off to turn in more of her coins, then, and then back for the books.

Now she has books!
