"Celebi is an extremely playful species. Its main ability is the power to travel through time." Or so the Professor said.

[Today's quote should sound quite familiar to anyone who watched last week's EV NEWS. So should the Cele-Berry Meringue waiting in front of the Gear, for that matter. Homemade and fresh, thank you very much.]

Bringing back a spring snow after weeks of summer heat matches both sentences perfectly, if you ask me. Has anyone thought to look for legendary Pokémon around their garden today?

[Not that Cecil himself has, of course. Nope.]

[strongestoftheturks]

...legendary Pokemon?

[paladinlost]

Pokémon that are officially considered legends. There are a few of those, though we see them only rarely. Those three dogs that caused storms last year, Lugia and the flood two years ago...

[Hm, there might be a pattern there.]

And now all the ones the Professor mentioned during the cooking special. The locals rarely offer their information so freely.

[strongestoftheturks]

...they sound like trouble.

[He hasn't been around for any of those weather episodes just yet. Well, there was the scorching summer recently but he just chalked it up to weird weather.

The snow though...]

[friendyousohard]

Celebi? I would have thought Articuno, or perhaps Regice again, though hopefully we won't be seeing those golems for some time.

[paladinlost]

That's only when they are disturbed, which is sadly humans' most common interaction with them. Otherwise, they can be quite pleasant. Entei even knocked down a tree to give me shelter, during last year's storm.

[Ate his steak, too, like the adorable puppy it is.]

[paladinlost]

An Ice-type would have caused a bigger snowfall, surely? None of the legendaries that have shown themselves to us cared much for restraining themselves or their powers.

[friendyousohard]

Well it depends on where they are, I would think. And just how active they're really being. If they're just stirring a little, this could be the result.

If they're waking up for some reason, we might be expecting this situation to escalate, quickly.

[paladinlost]

And then we'll find find ourselves with over three metres of accumulated snow in less than a week. Again. Along with frozen seas and rivers, of course, to end the month impressively.

[Someone will be very disappointed by the perfectly normal weather tomorrow.]

[strongestoftheturks]

...no one ever tried?

To catch them.

[That's a bit strange, given how powerful they've just been described, Rude would've thought that they'd be number on on every Trainer/Rocket's list.]

[friendyousohard]

At least during this time of year, once they go back to sleep things should even out fairly quickly?

Unless they wake up the others of their group, at any rate.

[And that's how Route got sent through Pokemon the Movie 2000's plot.]

But maybe we should just hope you're right instead of me.

[paladinlost]

...Team Rocket tried. I don't think it ever ended well.

[In fact, it usually caused the trouble in the first place.]

[paladinlost]

I certainly hope that'll not be the case. The fact that they often come in threes is interesting, but it does make the situation more dangerous than it should be.

[All they'd need is a talking Slowking.]

A playful creature who only wants to tease us and heal our dying tomato plants would be nice, for once.

[strongestoftheturks]

...that Commander guy?

[Because the first week Rude was in this world, someone tried to take over the world with a "weather machine". It seems like something he would do; try and capture a Pokemon capable of creating mass mayhem and disorder.]

[paladinlost]

Multiple people were involved, from what I heard. I've no idea if he was one of them or not.

[He wouldn't be surprised, though.]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

If anyone has, I wonder if they've left dango out for them.

[friendyousohard]

Well, we can always hope. Things haven't gotten catastrophic yet, so you could very well be right on this.

... Tomato plants?

[strongestoftheturks]

So...

...no one other than Team Rocket has tried?

[Seriously? Really? He knows Reno's interested for one, but he's not entirely sold on the idea just yet.]

[paladinlost]

I anyone has, they've not advertised that fact. Though there are plenty of trainers who were familiar with Pokémon from their own world and wish to track them all down.

[paladinlost]

I've been planting a garden in my yard. Between the heat wave and the Grimers, the vegetables... A Pokémon that can heal them would be a great help, you could say.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Would Celebi even like dango? I've no idea what it usually eats.

[strongestoftheturks]

Hmm.

[He hadn't realised that tracking down Legendary Pokemon could be so dangerous.

It sounds like it could be fun.]

...thanks.

[friendyousohard]

Grimers? Oh that's disgusting. Where are they coming from?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

There was a whole study about that in a book I found, if you'd believe it. 'Course, it was inconclusive because Celebi didn't even show up, but.

[paladinlost]

There's no need to thank me for sharing public information. But you're welcome.

[paladinlost]

The obvious answer would be the sewers. I am fervently hoping that the obvious answer is wrong.
