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.]

...Unless they manage to hide the throwing stars, but I imagine that'd be rather painful.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

I guess that might count as its own punishment.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

There's also a chance the blood would alert the officers even then.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

So much the better then.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

It almost feels cruel to think it.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Indeed, but no one asked them to break the law like that in the first place.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

True. Work is easy enough to find; it's not as if they even have that excuse.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Exactly. And with pokemon for self defense, weapons aren't really necessary for that.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I have to admit that I'd take care of my own defense if it was allowed. It's what I'm used to.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

I would too, but I can respect another world's customs for such a thing. Grudgingly.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...If only because they had the foresight to take away our weapons.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Tch. Actually that's more unforgivable. I just prefer to think my jitte is in the same place as my devil fruit.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

What if they have the power to take that away, too?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

No one does. It's normally impossible without killing me.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

My magic is innate, yet they still managed to remove it.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

That's what makes me think it wasn't any one person or even a group of people. No one's that powerful.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...What about a Pokémon? What if one was strong enough?

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Is that possible? Why would it even bother?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

If it saw our powers and weapons as a threat...

[Video]

[justicereigns]

If it was that strong, why would it?

Unless you mean as a threat to each other or other pokemon?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

A threat to all of those, perhaps. Or a threat to the local traditions.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

That seems kind of stupid. There has to be a better reason than that if it's a conscious decision.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

'Conscious' and 'smart' are not always synonyms.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Still a willing choice and therefore irritating as fuck in that case.

I just assumed the world couldn't handle it. My ex-girlfriend here was a bird in her world with enough powers to make pokemon look weak. It'd be a lot for this place to juggle.

That seems to be the case for many here. Of course, plenty of normal people are also brought to New Bark Town, so I doubt it's linked to our situation.
