Finding a Fire-type Gym so close to a frozen cavern was unexpected, but they seem to be doing well enough.

[Cecil looks cheerful, proud and covered by a thin layer of frost. That's what happens when the whole battle is spent under Rain Dance and said frozen cavern is visited right after, but he doesn't mind.]

Two more badges to earn by August 29. Perhaps having sixteen has more of an effect than having only Johto's eight; we'll know soon enough

[He doubts that, but it's a nice thought.]

Not frozen fire. Half frozen, half on fire. But thank you, that answers the question.

Maybe it's easier to level up the fire pokemon around ice pokemon?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

That sounds complicated to maintain, even magically... It's certainly easier, but I was under the impression that Fire-types enjoy warmer climates.

It happened once in my world when two logia users fought all out. Something of a lesson for other logia users to learn from it.

And sometimes training can only be done under adverse conditions?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps. That might explain why they moved from the island where I was told they would be.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

They're not even on an island?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

They are, but on one a few days to the east. Perhaps they did wish to train more easily.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Weird... Though that's really the only thing I can think of. Moving a gym must be difficult... especially if they have reputation for being somewhere else.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

It's not as if this island is more practical for their everyday life. It has nothing but the Gym.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

So they have to fly home each time?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Unless they live in the Gym itself. There might be beds in a back room.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

This world is truly bizarre sometimes.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I know. I'm expecting the local society to collapse anytime now.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

They do seem to rely on the trainers challenging the gyms for tourism.

Maybe enough people stop there along the way?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...Have you ever seen anyone other than us foreigners challenge a Gym leader?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

[Blinks and shakes his head, eyes narrowing.]

Actually... no. Though it doesn't mean they don't. Some of the stronger trainers on the roads must have, else how did they get where they are?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Stonger trainers stay where the wild Pokémon are also stronger. It could mean they all stay close to home.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Perhaps, but if the starting Mom's any indication, I'm guessing everyone gets kicked out of the house while they're young and sent to wander.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps they are kinder to their true children? Or perhaps they are allowed to return later...

[Video]

[justicereigns]

I doubt it. There are lot of kids on these roads who seem to rely more on their pokemon than anything else.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...Can you imagine the mortality rate if any of us could be killed?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

[... Sort of silent. Oh Cecil if you only knew his world...]

I have a good idea of it, yes.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Pokémon are helpful, but without proper weapons...

[Video]

[justicereigns]

I'm sure that law wouldn't be enforced if death was a real danger for all the trainers.

Well, pretty sure. [There are some really stupid laws out there, but still...]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...That might depend on the officer.

[If there are any differences between the officers, that is.]

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Officer Jenny doesn't seem that bad. The only reason they enforce it now is so people like Team Rocket don't take out crowbars and start smacking pokemon in the face.
