58th moon [video]

[paladinlost]

[Ladies and gentlemen, you are now getting visual proof that clothes spread between a big rock and a tree do not make a very good shelter. You are also getting proof that route 8's Meowth population is not picky, because they've apparently all found themselves there.]

...I am forced to admit that I'll not be able to travel any further. Considering I managed to withstand that blizzard a year and a half ago, this is rather frustrating.

[He does look frustrated. He also looks drenched, unkempt, tired and covered in cats. He points at a few of them.]

These all came looking for shelter, but they seem upset still. Could any cat-lover offer advice on how to calm them down?

[He'd rather not be accidentally clawed to death, if at all possible.]

String? Fish?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...There might soon be enough water for fish to reach this road, if the rain keeps falling. It'd be worth a try.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

If all else fails, shiny toys work, too.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I could try improvising them. ...A few of them, at least. I think this road has more Meowths than all of our fellow trainers and breeders together.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

Coin on a string? But that is a lot of cats...

[Video]

[paladinlost]

And they all look like they would scratch my eyes off if startled.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

...Maybe you just need to get a Pokémon that can swim or a boat and leave 'em, Cecil.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

[He stares at the Meowths. The Meowths all stare back.]

...I doubt I'd have the time to take Tida out of her pokéball. Perhaps one of my Pokémon knows Teleport?

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

Anyway you can check?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I'd merely need to remember...

[Thinking, thinking...]

Damn. Only the girls know it, and I left them in the PC so they could take a rest from all that garbage.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

Oops.

[Well, now what?]

Got a boat? Or a raft?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...I have faith in my ability to survive Coeurls. Those cats cannot be worse, can they?

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

Yeah, but have you ever fought that many Couerls?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...There was that one Coeurl who had Mindflayer friends...

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

....mind whats?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

They look like bipedal squids in robe, and they can paralyze you and steal your strength.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

[A moment as she registers this]

...better than tonberries?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I'm not certain. There are no Tonberries in my world, and the only one I've seen was in a summonstone.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

...you live in a world without tonberries?!

[Video]

[paladinlost]

That's right. From what I've heard, this makes me quite lucky.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

You don't have tiny little turtley things with lanterns and a kitchen knife that hurts worse than any giant sword ever!

[Video]

[paladinlost]

We have plenty of other interesting monsters.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

But no tonberries!

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Not even on the moon. It must be the world's way of apologizing for all the undead.

[Video]

[machinamonkey]

See, we have--or had, I think they're all gone now--annoying Unsent-slash-undead and tonberries. And malboros. And couerls. And bombs. [She rolls her eyes] Bombs're annoying.
