[Cecil sits at a table, smiling pleasantly while holding a cup of coffee. His team is nowhere to be seen.]

Have you ever regretted teaching an attack to a Pokémon?

[For a few seconds, the feed suddenly shakes wildly, before stopping just as quickly. Outwardly, Cecil does not react to this incident.]

...Any attack.

Thief.

... I'm sure you can imagine how well THAT went.

[It's fitting, yes, but starts getting on one's nerves after a while.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

...All too well, yes. How many of your Pokémon could learn it?

[Two or three wouldn't be too bad, but twenty...]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Twenty-six... wait, was it twenty-seven? Maybe twenty-eight... shit, I forgot.

[At that point it's not much of a difference, really. Crow shrugs a bit with a sigh.]

Way too many if I'm hoping to keep my wallet untouched.

[video]

[paladinlost]

.........I'd worry about more than your wallet, if I were you. If they start practicing on passersby, or even police officers...

[Or Gym leaders. Or Team Rocket members.]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Hm? Nah, no need to worry 'bout that! They're too smart to let themselves get caught so easily. Most of 'em, anyway.

[... That's not the issue here, Crow.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

...If escaping from humans after stealing their belongings are so easy, perhaps they should try their luck with wild Pokémon instead. Some do keep items with them.

[That would also probably not be illegal, which is always a bonus.]

[video] sorry for the late response! health issues got in the way ;;

[darkenedgales]

[But who needs a pointless bonus like that? Crow laughs in response.]

Maybe, but that ain't as much fun!

[... There's probably something wrong with his definition of "fun".]

[video] No problem, hope you feel better!

[paladinlost]

Truly? A friend of mine regularly steals from dragons and other monsters, and he seems to enjoy it quite a lot.

[video] Getting there, hopefully. Thanks! c:

[darkenedgales]

I guess, but... what could those hold? A berry? Stealing that doesn't sound very exciting to me...

[One might wonder if he's still talking about his team.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

I know the Magnemites sometimes hold Metal Coats, if you find that more challenging.

[He doesn't even wonder anymore, at this point.]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

We could try that, though I'm pretty sure it might get boring after a while...

[He shrugs with a smile.]

Oh well, we'll cross the bridge once we get there! Thanks for the suggestion.

[video]

[paladinlost]

You're welcome.

[As long as his belongings stay safe, at least.]

If you're lucky, you might even find items that are difficult to obtain in stores. Who knows what a Pokémon can find, after humans have passed by them?

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[YOU NEVER KNOW.]

... Cans and plastic bags, probably. [Really, what else is there to expect.] But it doesn't hurt to give it a shot!

[video]

[paladinlost]

A man's trash is another man's treasure. Surely they could be of use somehow, along with the occasional potion.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

... Yeah, I know.

[Living in a junkyard for the most of your life teaches you as much.]

Guess I'll just have to try and find some use for it! ... Or organize a garage sale without an actual garage, if it comes to the worst.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...I've never needed any sort of garage to sell items, be it individually or in bulk.

[He doesn't even have one! ...What's a garage, anyway?]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[It's where Crow lives.

The duelist laughs a bit at that comment.]

Nah, not need but... People do those when they have piles of junk to get rid of, no?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Do they? We usually leave them in some chamber out of the way, and forget about them.

[Cecil, some people don't have chambers out of the way.]
