55th moon [video]

[Today, Cecil is filming a small group of Pidgeys pecking at the ground and hunting for worms. It's a rather peaceful image, really.]

Route 25 is as far north as Kanto goes, it seems. Yet the same Pidgeys and Bellsprouts that can be found between New Bark and Violet live here. I wonder what makes certain species so widespread, while others can only rarely be found even in their natural habitats?

[Two of the Pidgeys start arguing over a particularly juicy bug. He looks at the scene for a few seconds, before he starts to put the Pokégear away with a few parting words.]

...Eleven out of sixteen. I think I'll aim for Celadon next.

We have both monsters and animals, but monsters are more common and the difference between the two is sometimes very small.

Really...

That's ...interesting.

_{[More monsters than animals? Sounds depressing...]}

Then again, is it not also the case here? I cannot recall seeing animals that were not Pokémon since I arrived.

Well, I figured they just... WERE animals.

I mean, they basically ARE. Just because they've got crazy wild abilities doesn't make 'em not animals.

Yet they attack humans just as monsters do. Though a few do look more like animals...

Yeah, because animals never attack people.

_{[~*~GUESS WHO HAD A TRAUMATIC DOG EXPERIENCE WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE~*~]}

I've not heard of any cases in Baron, at least.

[Which could be because everything that attacks humans is then considered a monster. Maybe.]

You must have some super tame and well-behaved animals, then.

_{[Yeeeeaah, Heather's used to monsters being something... special.]}

We do have a few misbehaving chocobos.

[Cecil's used to monsters called 'Flan Princesses' and 'Mom Bomb'. It changes one's perception of the term a little.]

_{[Chocobo... she feels like she's heard that term somewhere before... Ah. That's right. Sora had named one of his Pokemon that.]}

Some kinda bird, right?

_{[Heather, on the other hand, was used to far more twisted creatures. If Silent Hill had been populated by Flan Princesses, maybe it would have been a more pleasant place.]}

That's right. They look somewhat like Doduos, but yellow and without the second head.

[...Until the inevitable Berserk status, at least. Then again, the music that comes with it would still be less creepy than her usual fare.]

_{[Yeah, when the boss music you're used to sounds like the result of someone being let loose in a room full of metal pipes to bang on, pretty much anything with actual instrumentation is fairly soothing.]}

Doduos, huh?

_{[She'd never actually seen one, but she'd been informed of the existence of Dodrios somewhat recently, and could form a fairly accurate mental picture just based on the name.]}

So big yellow ostriches, basically.

[Even the lovechild of creepy circus music and demonic possessed dolls?]

That's quite likely.

[Ostriches, what are those.]

They exist in quite a few worlds, I believe.

_{[Someone needs to teach Heather to stop using comparisons to animals that might not exist in other worlds.]}

Yeah. Or like... variations thereof.

[Or she could just make them up. It's not as if they'd know.]

Yet I've never heard anyone mention Pokémon variations in their world.

I've heard a few people say it's from a video game. ... Y'know. A work of fiction.

Most said that they were seeing this particular world; a young man even mentioned Saffron City directly. Would that truly count as variations?

Well, I've met people here who are from FAIRY TALES that I was told when I was a kid.

Something tells me that this place being recognizable as a story for some people from other worlds isn't too out of the ordinary.

I've been recognized before, but I've never seen anyone I'd read about. Yet many arrive knowing about Pokémon... Some worlds might be better known than others, such as this one. I wonder why.

Universe's a big place, I guess.

_{[If it could be called a 'uni'-verse.]}

And somehow, people from all its corners still find themselves here. Whatever brought us here must be quite powerful.

... Yeah.

And an asshole.

Only if it's sentient enough to have motives. Then again, if it were some sort of powerful Pokémon...

It's sentient enough to have a strong sense of irony.

That means it's sentient enough to have a motive.

...And therefore sentient enough to regret it, if we offer strong enough arguments.
