89th moon [video]

After many battles against the local Grimer population, I've come to the conclusion that Bloobers are not Poison-types, leaving only sixteen other possibilities.

[Cecil is probably not the only one that has figured that out by now, but he looks quite solemn as he shares that particular bit of information.]

That said, while they are not poisonous, eating their slime is a terrible idea for both humans and Pokémon, including those who can normally eat burnt food without any trouble. It should not be attempted, even on a dare, unless you enjoy messes and unpleasant stomach aches.

[A very Arcanine-like whine can be heard some distance away, followed by an unhappy gurgle.

Cecil drops the Serious PSA face and sighs, shooting a quick glare at the offscreen dog.]

Thus, I need recommendations for air fresheners. Any smell will do, as long as it stays strong for hours. Please.

_{[Wow, eugh. He's so glad Heather's Growlithe, Cujo, never got ahold of one of those things.]}

I've found a few incense sticks around the Poke'Marts. They have the cones too. They're usually in the very back...and the Pokemon Centers sometimes have these little scented candles called Sweet Scents on the counter for sale by the treats.

[paladinlost]

...Do they sell any of those by the hundred? I'd need enough to cover my whole house for at least a few days, to be safe. Hopefully not weeks.

[That damn dog and his damn curiosity and his damn empty stomach.]

[no_ufo_ending]

A hudr-- wh-- how much of that gunk did he eat?

[paladinlost]

The kitchen and living room floors have not been so clean in weeks.

[Is that even an answer? Because Cecil certainly seems to think it's an answer.]

_{[Here is a quiet, horrified face.]}

I am...so sorry. Where...are you at? I could mail some of the stuff I have?

[paladinlost]

It's very kind of you to offer, but no thank you. With the discount I have thanks to my badges, buying my own supply cache is more practical. Besides, I doubt I have the patience to wait for a delivery, at this point. Even the Grimers have evacuated the pond.

[no_ufo_ending]

Oh, okay. That makes sense.

_{[Still, wow...]}

I guess it's too cold to leave the doors and windows open, huh?

[paladinlost]

Frankly, freezing to death and dealing with snow in the house sounds more and more like a pleasant option to me. But the neighbors would surely complain.

[no_ufo_ending]

Can't you just put him in his poke'ball?

_{[This is turning into some kind of Arcanine Stank Epidemic here!]}

[paladinlost]

[He considers that option.]

It would stop the situation from worsening, if nothing else... But can ill Pokémon cure themselves over time if they are kept in their balls?

[no_ufo_ending]

I don't know about that, but the Pokemon Center seems to be able to take care of anything. Even people when they're sick. You haven't taken him in yet?

[paladinlost]

Not yet; I was too busy cleaning the house thrice over. Still, I should at least try that option, even if they could not help when Minerva caught a cold...

[no_ufo_ending]

It's weird they couldn't fix that...I've never had any problem with them. But yeah, try that before you buy a hundred thousand candles.

[paladinlost]

It could be that they did not wish to risk infecting others. Hopefully they'll not think the same this time. A quick cure would be ideal, for everyone involved.

[no_ufo_ending]

I just hope it all works out. Good luck!

[paladinlost]

So do I. Thank you for your well-wishes.
