64th moon [video]

I've recently been thinking of acquiring another Fighting-type or two. Are any species particularly worth looking into?

[Cecil probably didn't pay much attention when centering the camera, because his bandaged hands sewing a shirt back together are taking up most of the screen.]

I'd also like to hear about monkey species. Or beautiful Pokémon. I've no intention of catching them immediately, so their natural habitat matters little at the moment.

[His hands still for a few seconds.]

Do people enjoy learning that their friends named Pokémon after them? It's... perhaps too late for me to ask that question, but I'd rather not upset anyone.

...I do hope that means it's profitable most of the time.

...It does. In the past seventy-five years, only three and a half were spent in war.

That's a more than acceptable ratio, even if it's of course not the best.

It's a little more poignant when those were the most recent years, though.

...So many years of war at once? The younger generations must feel cursed, after their elders have known decades of peace.

Only if you define "peace" as "the absence of war." There was still plenty of conflict; it just didn't really occur outside of occasional incidents.

The hatred was insidious, instead of out in the open?

Yes and no. Some people let it fester, others displayed it openly.

And that was not enough for war to start immediately?

...It wasn't. It took an event far more serious to cause it.

...I assume it was... unpleasant for all involved.

...It was.

[He has nothing further to say beyond that, so he doesn't try to come up with something else to say.]

...This world seems safe from that sort of conflict, at least.

[Even now, he sounds a little incredulous as he says those words.]

It seems to me like you don't fully believe your own words.

[He's heard enough skepticism in his lifetime to learn when to pick it up.]

...We can only visit a small part of it. For all we know, everything beyond Johto and Kanto is torn apart by conflict even as we speak. Yet we hear nothing from the lands beyond these borders. Why?

...Have you ever considered the possibility that such lands simply do not exist in this world?

We cannot reject that possibility, of course. But then, where would the ocean end? What would we find beyond the mountains north of Blachthorn and Cerulean?

Perhaps the world simply loops back in around on itself?

It might, but that would be difficult to prove without an airship.

An...airship?

[Sure, his world had ships that could fly through the atmosphere, but they were almost always considered spaceships first and foremost.]

Ships that travel the skies, rather than the seas. A girl I spoke with long ago said they sound like her world's 'airplanes', if that sounds more familiar.

Yes, I figured that as soon as the word left my mouth.

[He looks a bit sheepish now.]

My world possesses ships that can fly in the atmosphere, but we classify them as spaceships because they are almost always tailored for traveling through space.

A spaceship? We have one of those, but no one could say it resembles a ship. It's whale-shaped, rather.

...Wow, that's...curious.

[Athrun's been in this world too long to be weirded out by this sort of thing. However...]

Is there some sort of theme regarding whales in space...?

A theme? Are your spaceships whale-shaped, too?
