40th moon [video]

[A Rising Badge, carefully turned over and over in a man's hand, obviously being inspected from all its angles. This is the image coming from the Cecil-cam, today.]

A year, to the day. That's more than acceptable for the first part of an adventure. Or perhaps I should say that obtaining this last badge is an excellent way to celebrate my first year in this world?

[Cecil's hand finally closes around the badge, and he brings the Pokégear up to look at the sky instead.]

Would anyone know why the professor cal- No, nevermind. It's not important at the moment. Badges and anniversaries should both be celebrated. If anyone in Blackthorn wishes to join me, I'll pay for the meal and drinks.

[At a very nice restaurant, too. Let it not be said that he does not have taste.]

Guess I need to pay more attention to these things.

[paladinlost]

I only know because Rosie saw them in the catalog and practically forced me to buy one.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Did she need it to evolve?

[paladinlost]

She did, and was apparently painfully aware of it.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I wonder if pokemon can tell when they're going to evolve.

[paladinlost]

I think they might, sometimes. But not always. Rosie and Avenger were quite surprised when they evolved the first time.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I don't think Sparky expected it either.

[paladinlost]

Perhaps they were enjoying themselves too much to think about their upcoming evolutions.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah maybe. Though I think that's what Sparky needed to do to evolve. I read that Pichu evolve through happiness.

[paladinlost]

So do Cleffas, and possibly Feebas. It's a rather flattering evolution.

[Someone never caught the beauty thing, it seems.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Is it like Magikarp evolving into Gyarados?

[paladinlost]

Somewhat, but with less anger and more elegance.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Must be nicer than Gyardos. That's pretty good.

[paladinlost]

Gyarados are nice enough, but Leviathan's ladylike attitude was rather refreshing, compared to them.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It's a Milotic, right?

[paladinlost]

Yes. They cannot learn attacks from many types, but they can use what they have quite well.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Is it a water type?

[paladinlost]

Pure Water. They can also learn Dragon- and Ice-type attacks, however.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Could the feebas learn them? Or just Milotic?

[paladinlost]

Mostly Milotic. Feebas' natural attacks are barely a step up from Magikarps.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Right. I think Xion's trying to raise one.

[paladinlost]

For some reason, I've no doubt she'll manage to do so handily.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. She's really good with pokemon.

[paladinlost]

That's something you both have in common.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Guess so...
