69th moon [...seriously, this is like the fifth time or something]

[This would technically be a video, if there was enough light to actually see something. Cecil sounds resigned to his fate, if anything.]

I need a list of every single cave in Johto and Kanto that is not the Ice Cave, as I have to figure out where I am. The local Pokémon look strong, but- EEEEYAARGH!

[...Guess who's on the lowest level of Cerulean Cave and just met Mewtwo?]

[dragoon_pride]

Against the... what?

[paladinlost]

Purple rats. The burden of fighting them is best shared if possible.

[dragoon_pride]

Ah. From the description alone, I can imagine that.

[paladinlost]

They are far from dangerous at a low level, but they are numerous.

[dragoon_pride]

How frustrating.

[paladinlost]

I hear they can be quite useful if well trained.

[dragoon_pride]

Do people here train such things?

[paladinlost]

People here train anything and everything that can be trained.

[dragoon_pride]

Well, one must always use any potential weapon that's there.

[paladinlost]

Even the butterflies.

[dragoon_pride]

They're butterflies? How is that at all threatening?

[paladinlost]

Would you like Esuna to show off a few of her attacks? You'd see, then.

[dragoon_pride]

Ah, I suppose that would be worthwhile.

[paladinlost]

Very well. Esuna, dearest...

[He throws a ball, freeing her.]

Rain Dance, please.

[...And now there's rain everywhere.]

[dragoon_pride]

[Suddenly he's very wet.]

Ah. I had no idea what capabilities such a creature might have.

[paladinlost]

This is nothing. She could have put you to sleep and drained your dreams to hurt you.

[dragoon_pride]

I'm so relieved you didn't choose to demonstrate those skills.

[paladinlost]

I thought you'd prefer something less... painful.

[dragoon_pride]

How kind of you to consider my preferences. Good.

[paladinlost]

I could hardly damage you too much. Healing is rare for humans, outside of Pokémon Centers.

[dragoon_pride]

And you've no access to white magic at all?

[Not that Cecil is exactly the best at that. IT'S STILL BETTER THAN NOTHING.]

[paladinlost]

Not at all. Neither could I cover anyone if needed.

[dragoon_pride]

How terrible... to lose your battle skills like those...

[paladinlost]

I've no doubt they'll be return to me when I leave, but I'd still rather not have lost them in the first place.

[dragoon_pride]

I can hardly blame you.

[Being without his jumping would be the worst fate to him.]
