A-Are you sure? I was pretty sure people used books at school...not bats...

[But man, school sounds a lot more fun if they did have bats. But if that really is the case, where did everyone hide theirs?!]

I think you're in luck, though. If you take the boat, you can get over to Kan-to and catch one for yourself. They live in the ~mysterious~ Moon Mountain...that I've never actually been to...

I miiiiiiight've had someone else catch him for me.
