77th moon [video]

[You know what's a great sight in the morning? Grimers. Over a dozen Grimers, all emerging from a pond, caught on camera from the safety of Cecil's kitchen. They don't look very happy.]

I think they're mounting an attack on the house. Send help.

[Preferably before the smell sticks to his clothes permanently.]

I guess so. But still... not the kind of attack dog I would like to have, I think. I'm good with one of my own Pokémon taking care of potential burglars.

[He looks a little unsure.]

I would imagine it would though I mean if you can't be poisoned, then you can't be poisoned, right? But I don't know...

Considering the extence of Pokémon and their trainers, you'd think there would be no burglars in the first place.

[Who would want to risk angering a Dragonite in the middle of the night?]

He cannot be poisoned, but as far as I know he can still fall sick. If the ground is affected by something that's not quite poisonous...

You would think! But then again the burglars are probably also trainers so that sort of nullifies that advantage somewhat. Especially if ghost types are involved, do you have any idea how easy it is to use them for breaking and entering?

[Reasons we should be glad John isn't the nefarious sort.]

Hurr...yeah that would be bad. Maybe you should just try treating the ground? Like go ahead and assume that something IS wrong with it. If nothing's wrong than maybe it wouldn't hurt anything to treat it anyway? I don't know I know basically jack shit about ecology.

Considering some of Avenger's talents, I can certainly imagine.

[In fact, he tries very hard not to.]

Perhaps I could ask Erika's opinion. As a Grass-type trainer, she must know if a preventive treatment would affect the plants.

Ooo yeah, you're right. She would honestly probably be the best one to ask. Especially considering how many grass types are dually poison-typed.

...Which says quite a few alarming things about this world and its state, if you ask me. Between that and the berries...

Oh god the berries. Why do things that look so delicious actually have to be so very bad for you?

[It's just not fair.]

That aside though, was the implication there that Pokémon are the more dominant species in this world? At least from a natural standpoint?

...They're much more numerous than we are, they have powerful abilities that others cannot replicate, plants and climate both follow their whims...

[Signs point to yes.]

Yeah...it really almost makes you wonder why the whole set up isn't reversed. Or well...maybe not reversed so much as why they even bother with us at all. Like letting us capture and raise them and stuff. I mean they really shouldn't HAVE to, all things considered.

...Humans do help them learn attacks they'd not normally know, through man-made TMs and the techniques used by Move Tutors. There must be even more advantages for them, even if they're not apparent to us.

Oh right. You know, I never really thought about that that way. The TMs and tutor moves. And I guess for smaller, more vulnerable Pokémon like Caterpie, being with a trainer improves their survival rate. They stand a better chance of making it to their Butterfree stage without being eaten by a particularly wily Pidgeotto or something.

Still, though, for as many advantages over us as they have, it really doesn't seem like most of them are particularly inclined to take them.

Perhaps that was not always the case. Perhaps they did once try to take control of the whole situation, but something stopped them or changed their minds.
