45th moon [video]
[A pale hand is slowly rolling a few Pokéballs on a desk, as its owner speaks softly.]
One received as a starter, oh so long ago.
[Sweet little Rosie, who had taught him the basics of this world when he was not in a state to learn by himself.]
Two caught with my own hands, within my first month here.
[To have revenge and to keep the peace, and perhaps out of curiosity and wonder.]
One received as a gift, to remind each other of our fondness.
[But Aerith was gone, now, and he'd never found out where her Marill went.]
Eight eggs, bought and traded and raised from birth.
[All of them grown, now, with nearly nothing left to learn from him.]
...Nine who found me when their trainers were lost, and who might have seen them come and go since then.
[Yet so many of his friends had disappeared leaving none behind, with nothing but his memories left of them.
The hand stills over one of the balls. His message is almost over.]
...Perhaps I should start catching once more, and start anew somewhere else.

How's that working out for you? A frying pan isn't much like any weapon I've seen. Too heavy to mimic most swords.
[Head first for impact, but what about an actual landing? Paws need to hit the ground first, not its head.]
[Video]
[...Flips over the opponent to land on its paws?]
[Video]
[Provided the opponent doesn't move, that could work. Some things could shake off a Fire Fang to the nose, if they're strong enough. Preparing for that could be trouble.]
[Video]
[...He wouldn't even need to land. Magnet Rise.]
[Video]
[Then there's no need to worry; they just need to make sure he lands jaw first on his target. And that he knows how to run for it quickly.]
[Video]
[Thrown items that come back by themselves are the best.]
[Video]
[Indeed. It's probably why Hope was so fond of his boomerang.]
[Video]
[Everyone would be fond of some of those enormous spiky things.]
[Video]
[That's true. Easy to beat monsters over the head with them.]
[Video]
[Might poke an eye out, though.]
[Video]
[Also true...and it very nearly happened a few times back in her world.]
[Video]
[That'd be a shame, ruining the pretty face he gets ten years later.]
[Video]
[They did have some pretty high level healing spells, and scars fade. Lightning would have been more worried about him being in pain than anything else.]
[Video]
[...Who had apparently been told, and because of that Cecil doesn't remember nearly enough of Lightning and Tifa.
Aw, what a nice big sis.]
[Video]
[siiigh. Cecil's brother told Kain and Serah told Snow. Did neither trust their siblings? It's hard to say for sure. Hope, at least, Lightning could figure out most of the time. Easiest when she was trying to keep him from poking an eye out.]
[Video]
[To some degree, at least. He's quite aware that they have many issues to work out, even if he usually pretends they don't exist.]
[Video]
[At least they still have the chance to make it work...though Lightning is suddenly quite sure that if Cecil's brother ever shows up in Johto, he'll be getting shoved off a ledge.]
[Video]
[Sadly, getting shoved off a ledge would be a pretty big step up compared to what was about to happen when Cecil arrived.]
[Video]
[Then it would seem that Golbez gets lucky. This time.]
[Video]
[Until a canon update happens, at least.]
[Video]
[Other people getting luck when castmates update...isn't really something that happens often.]
[Video]
[It's almost as if people were choosing painful canon points on purpose. Tsk.]
[Video]
[It certainly seems that way, though things aren't always as they seem.]
[Video]
[It's a shame they can't choose their own canon points, really.]
[Video]
[True, that. Several would probably love to pick a more peaceful time to come through.]
