[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.

Oh, a flying type... Probably manipulating energy in that case.

[Like psychic types do.]

I don't think a lot of buildings are built for it, save for maybe the gyms.

[Since some of his old gym battles are really "spam Earthquakes after using buffs".]

Considering the power of certain attacks, I certainly hope those can endure an Earthquake or six. Perhaps I should send my team to practice with Erika, instead of letting them do so in the garden.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

That might be for the best. You can do it out in the routes, but the Earthquakes would trouble the local wild Pokemon.

[Suddenly, a herd of pissed of wilds.]

Since Erika's the grass type gym leader, she probably didn't get to deal with Earthquakes that often. But it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Two of the Pokémon involved are Grass-types, too. That might help convince her, if I'm lucky.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Oh? Which ones are they?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

My Meganium and my Tangrowth. From now on, Fire-types will never frighten them again.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Those Fire-types will just get badly shaken by surprise, instead.

[paladinlost]

I'd say that's worth a few cracks in the house's foundations.

[Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake.]

...Or not.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Probably not...unless it's worth the possible damages and maybe the repair bill.

[Ahahaha...]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...I could put my Ground- and Rock-types to work. Make them repair the results of their own carelessness. It would be less expensive.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

And a lesson on paying attention to their surroundings and respecting people's properties, too.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I think they might be less careful because their actions only affect our property, actually. I asked our neighbors, and they feel nothing.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

...That make sense, if the attacks only affect their immediate surroundings. [If you ignore how basic physics usually get ignored.] Or else we'd get all sorts of problems from people using Earthquakes and Surfs near houses.

We'd also be able to travel through blizzards without renewing Sunny Day so often, but I can accept that inconvenience if it means my house is not accidentally destroyed by neighboring Pokémon.
