[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.]

[Yes, yes! See how happy they are! Look Aggron's taking up the whole screen now with his big steely dinosaur grin because he loves his trainer oh so much.]

[paladinlost]

As I was saying.

[All smiles and happiness here.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

He's been like that since he hatched. I don't know why. He's too big for it.

[paladinlost]

When did he evolve? He might not be used to his size yet.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Not too long ago, but he's always been like this. Since he was an aron.

[paladinlost]

At least you can be certain he loves you.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Mm. Yeah. It's just a bit hard to look after him sometimes.

[paladinlost]

He might yet settle down, with enough time and training.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Maybe. He's fully evolved though. That usually changes their temperaments, right?

[paladinlost]

Abrupt changes are not always as efficient as subtle ones. It took more than his evolution to calm Avenger down.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I'll remember that. I did train him pretty hard so he evolved quickly.

[paladinlost]

He must have enjoyed all the attention. He seems the type to like battling.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he did. Plus he's a steel type, so he's pretty strong.

[paladinlost]

Does he have any secondary type?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

He's also a rock type. According to the pokedex.

[paladinlost]

That's a good defensive combination. Does he know attacks of many types?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Not really. They're all pretty much the same.

[paladinlost]

It's a shame. No one would expect and Electric- or Ice-type attack from him. That could give you the advantage.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Maybe there's a TM move I can use or something.

[paladinlost]

Probably. A Move Tutor is also an option.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Right. Riku mentioned those.

[paladinlost]

They can be extremely helpful, as most of their attacks are different from the TMs.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Right. Guess I'll need to find them as well.

[paladinlost]

They probably visit the major cities often, if they want clients.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Any in Olivine?
