56th moon [video]

You'd think that after a year and seven months, the locals would be unable to surprise me anymore.

[This strange introduction comes with the image of an innocent-looking house. An innocent-looking house that has a pond and fences blocking its door, in fact. Rosie the Clefable is standing in front of it; every so often, she pokes the water's surface with curiosity.]

Necessitating either Surf or Fly to leave your house cannot possibly be practical. What if your Water- and Flying-types are ill? What if you have guests? What if your children wish to go play with friends? I doubt it's even sufficient to stop... thieves...

[He trails off as he stares in horror at the pond. Even Rosie stops touching the water and joins him in staring. Of course, that could be because of the slimy purple limb that just grabbed her arm.]

...Having Grimers in your water cannot be healthy. Goodness.

[He turns the Gear off, now. His little girl needs rescuing.]

...I totally agree with you on that one.

...I wonder if the house's owners can even leave it, with those Grimers in the way?

He'd probably fly over it or something.

[What is this discussion.]

That would only work if he has the necessary HM and badge. Along with a Flying-type, of course.

[A glorious discussion.]

...Or he can just surf through it if he has the HM and badge as well.

[About a man who might be filthy enough to amass an army of Grimer.]

...What sort of Pokémon would be willing to swim through that water...?

[Which is why it is glorious.]

...Prrroooobably one that can handle toxic materials?

...A Tentacruel, then, with its secondary type.

...Yeah, that would be the only choice that fits.

What a pleasant prospect.

[All those Tentacruel memories...]

[And all the imagery related to this conversation...]

Well, this certainly is a food for thought.

The possibility that we are all drinking contaminated water?

And that the contaminated water comes from what could possibly the filthiest man in the region?

...I think I'll try to ignore that part.

...Yeah.

[Anyways, he had just realized its been a while since he actually talked to this guy.]

Its nice to see you well though, Cecil.

It's also good to see you, Shinn. You were gone for a while, were you not?

[He tries to keep up with those things, but considering the number of people here...]

Yeah, I went home twice.

[And the second trip was not that pleasant.]

...I imagine you now know the first few routes by heart.

That sums it up pretty well.

[He's tired of walking all the way to Violet every time okay.]

You have my sympathy. I could go anywhere in Cherrygrove with my eyes closed, by this point.

Let me guess, you either had to backtrack a lot or you're stuck there for a while?

My first travelling group slowly grew over a period of two months. Other then one small trip, we never bothered to actually leave the city. And by the time we finally moved, some of us were disappearing.

...I see.

[He's going to give a nod at that.]

It was a shame, truly. Most of them were not suited to small cities.

In any case, they should be safe at home, so at the very least there's that.
