JOHN KIRBY: You're playing the Pokemon thing right there, aren't you?
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: I was just keeping an eye on it.
GREENE: Just keeping an eye on it. Well, Kirby kept going, but his own Pokemon curiosity got the best of him.

KIRBY: Did you get one?
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: No, the signal is not very good.
KIRBY: I'm sorry about that.
GREENE: Let us know if anyone catches that reporter. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
