65th moon [video]

Two complete years spent in this world.

[Cecil's Gear must be held by one of his Pokémon, because the man himself is sitting on a chair, his back bent and facing away.]

Two sets of badges obtained...

[Normally he'd show off said badges at this point. This time, his hands come up with bandages instead, as his back straightens and he rises for the first time in two months.]

...and two legs working perfectly again, all as of today. It looks like I've found my lucky number. Perhaps I should try my hand at the lottery?

[Yep, someone's having a very nice anniversary.]

I do my best not to be.

Onix is both a Rock- and a Ground-type Pokémon. Since both of those types have a double weakness to Grass and Water, it ends up with a quadruple weakness.

How's ground weak to grass? I get that rocks and dirt can get... eroded? So what's a plant gonna do to the ground?

...Drain all of its nutrients?

[h u h]

. . . Dirt has nutrients?

For plants, probably? They do grow there.

So it doesn't all come from fertilizer... Okay so grass-types suck the nutrients from ground-types. But what about grass and water types?

Plants also need to drain water to survive.

[It's only after he's asked them does he realize just how simple these questions must be to a guy like Cecil...]

Yeah... [NERVOUS LAUGHTER IS GO] Guess I shoulda thought it through before asking.
