48th moon [Let's do the 4th wall agaaaiiiin!]

[paladinlost]

[There is alcohol. There are sandwiches. There are Clefairies. There is Cresselia. There is, of course, Cecil.

Has Mt. Moon ever been so inviting before?]

I knew buying those bottles was a good idea.

[Hell no it hasn't.]

[dragoon_pride]

The badges?

[paladinlost]

The proof that we have defeat the eight strongest trainers in Johto. See?

[He takes out a small jewelry box. Inside are eight of said badges, gleaming in the light.]

[dragoon_pride]

You've done well.

[Kain looks impressed. Then he can't help but wonder.]

Did I likewise make such accomplishments when I was here before?

[paladinlost]

...You obtained your first badge, but you disappeared before Rosa and I could return to fly you over to the next city.

[dragoon_pride]

Ah. How unfortunate, that I should leave so unfinished...

[paladinlost]

And to think that your team's levels were high enough to obtain the next three badges easily...

[dragoon_pride]

Is that so? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at that.

[paladinlost]

Many people find themselves training too much for the first, and obtaining the next few easily.

[dragoon_pride]

Ah, I see... I must have done that, as well?

[paladinlost]

Of course. It never hurts to be prepared, and it did lead to an easy victory.

[dragoon_pride]

As it should be.

[paladinlost]

The true shame is that you never had the chance to visit the Dragon-type Gym.

[dragoon_pride]

...Truly? You have such a place?

[paladinlost]

It's even situated near a cave full of Dragon-types.

[And Magikarps.]

[dragoon_pride]

It sounds ideal.

[paladinlost]

It's quite lovely.

[Except for the part where he associates it with finding out Kain disappeared.]

[dragoon_pride]

[Not a good association then. :(]

I wouldn't mind seeing it, someday.

[paladinlost]

I'd offer to fly you there, but this world is somewhat picky when it comes to flying routes.

[...Cecil, you could just teleport there.]

[dragoon_pride]

How unfortunate, that travel is so difficult.

[paladinlost]

It's not quite difficult... But I could not fly over the Ice Path until I'd already crossed it by foot once.

[dragoon_pride]

A mild annoyance... but I suppose that's the way of it, then.

[paladinlost]

It often does not make sense.

[dragoon_pride]

Is all travel here like that?

[paladinlost]

Ledges in the ground are impossible to climb, and even the Water-types cannot ferry you on rivers unless they learn a special attack.

[dragoon_pride]

I doubt I'd have any trouble with any ledges.
