Short Stories

Steve's dream vacation would be to a conservatory. You know, one of those great big glass buildings that have plants growing inside? Steve would absolutely LOVE to visit one someday, just to walk among plants he's never had a chance to see before - things that usually root in far off lands and very different soil from that which he's used to finding underfoot. Yeah, they're unnatural! He knows that. But they're *great* for protecting endangered species and spreading knowledge and appreciation for plants that would otherwise be ignored by most people and Pokemon. Some also work with their local governments to provide growing space for plants which have been confiscated from smugglers, who were trying to transport them illegally across borders. Thus, conservatories are, to Steve, a little bubble of paradise!
