[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.

Ahh, I've been trying to get her to understand that.

[So glorious. Not sure about anyone else, but Ryner has a full half dozen...]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

It's a lesson that is often only understood with age, sadly.

[Cecil only has Rosie and the Gardevoir pair, but three of Ash's precious Normal-types will lose it. Collection ruined.]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Unfortunately. Not much that can be done, though, except keep trying...

[Poor Ash :(]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

As long as you don't give up, I've no doubt she'll learn someday. Surely she knows it's important.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I hope so.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Have others in your team learned that sort of restraint? They could help her learn more easily.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Most of them. Not sure if she'd listen to them even if I asked them to try to reason with her, though. She kind of takes special pride in being my starter, for some reason.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps that's because it probably makes her the oldest. Age and experience are a point of pride for many.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Something like that, maybe. Haa, though you'd think she'd listen to me more sometimes, if that's all of it.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Well, she does also have more experience in this world than you do, even if not by much.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I guess...

[Who is the trainer/breeder/whatever in this relationship...]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

She sounds quite the prideful young lady, truly.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Yeah, if nothing else she's definitely proud of herself.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Not to the point of ruining her relations with others, I hope.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

She gets along with most of the other pokemon fine most of the time, at least. So that's something.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Most? What are the exceptions?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

She doesn't like Marian much. Ahh, and there's Arius, but Arius is kind of a jerk and doesn't get along with anybody...

[Video]

[paladinlost]

If it's mutual, it can hardly be helped, unless they both change.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Believe me, I really hope Arius does. It's a pain, having to keep him away from the water types...

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...Should I ask what he does to them?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

He seriously tries to kill them. Nothing short of putting him back in his ball will stop him.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

......He what? And you still let him out?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Am I supposed to just trap him in the PC forever?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

If it keeps everyone else safe...

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Even if he's an asshole, that'd be kind of unfair to him...
