The call from the Museum comes later in the day, but we can flash forward to it.

"Nathan Warren? Professor Laurelin, at the Creshire Museum. Hi. Got a minute? We've reviewed your application for our internship, and the secretary told me you were interested in getting some fossils revived. The bad news is, I already have a full crop of academic interns for the Spring season. I can hire you in the summer, but not right now. The good news is, there are some field research tasks I need performed, but none of my current interns have Pokemon strong enough to make them worthwhile. If you come to my office, I'll tell you about the tasks you can do in return for fossil revivification. How about it?"

Well, it's most likely after encounter 1, then...so the stuff that happens before that is:

- Nathan's call to his mom.  Nothing special, probably.  Just making sure to keep in touch, still.  And apologizing for missing her last few messages because he was busy.

- A training session for Rhea, Forthright, and Carvanha in the rain!  For Rhea, Nathan's helping her out with basic care of the little ones again (mostly Carvanha).  Forthright's playing in the rain, but she eventually gets bored of it and wants to try changing it to a different weather (not a Sandstorm, though).  No success this time, but she feels like she should be able to, for some reason...maybe she's missing something important...and Carvanha is doing what she does best!  Om nom nom!  Biting stuff!  Hence why Nathan needs to help Rhea out...(2 exp for all?)

-------------------

Well, it's not quite what Nathan expected from the call, but I guess that works.  "I'll be right on over.  See ya in a few."

Off we go to meet the history and biology professor!
