89th moon [video]

After many battles against the local Grimer population, I've come to the conclusion that Bloobers are not Poison-types, leaving only sixteen other possibilities.

[Cecil is probably not the only one that has figured that out by now, but he looks quite solemn as he shares that particular bit of information.]

That said, while they are not poisonous, eating their slime is a terrible idea for both humans and Pokémon, including those who can normally eat burnt food without any trouble. It should not be attempted, even on a dare, unless you enjoy messes and unpleasant stomach aches.

[A very Arcanine-like whine can be heard some distance away, followed by an unhappy gurgle.

Cecil drops the Serious PSA face and sighs, shooting a quick glare at the offscreen dog.]

Thus, I need recommendations for air fresheners. Any smell will do, as long as it stays strong for hours. Please.

Lesser of two evils or whatever the phrase is? I was gonna guess they might've been Poison-type myself, with how slimy these guys are.

[Because...that's logic?]

...Frankly, I almost wish the Grimers were back instead. But their one successful attempt to poison Bavarois turned out to be very informative.It was the first time I saw it upset, too.

...Huh. Nice name.

[Focus, Lancer.]

I'm gonna guess it's doing okay?

It was perfectly fine after I used an antidote, yes. It's spent the last two hours snuggled up against Flare, trying to make him feel better. Perhaps it feels responsible for his current state.

Can't really help it if some Pokemon just eat everything in sight. Scathach's the same way, and she's got two heads.

So I'm guessing an Antidote didn't work on that one, since it's not really poisoned?

It did not, and neither did the potion. Perhaps this would have been easier to treat if the slime truly was poisoned, but I'll not ask him to lick a Trubbish to try that.

Definitely not a good idea. But anyway...that's at least one type down, right? And we can probably assume they're not Flying either, so that's two.

At this point, I'd go ahead and also remove the Fire-type, barring some extremely strange dual-typing. Down to fourteen, then. ...No, thirteen; a Steel-type could not be poisoned either.

Sounds like a good start. My next guess was Water, because...well, look at the things, y'know? That sound possible to you?

I'd consider it the most likely at the moment. They were at risk of drying out, after all. That's not something you'd think would apply to, say, a Rock-type.

I wouldn't be dumb enough to think it was something weak to water, not with how Amhrasach popped up in the kitchen sink and scared the hell outta me. If it's not a Water-type, that more than likely counts out just about anything weak to it.

So what's left... [Counting off on his fingers.] Water, Fighting, Electric, Grass...uh...Psychic, Dragon, Ice, Ghost... [Man, this is hard. Don't strain yourself, Lancer.] ...Bug, Normal, or Dark? I don't think I missed any...

We already covered it's probably not Poison, Fire or Flying, and it can't be Ground, Rock, or Steel. And...on second thought, I'd cross off Ghost-type too. She seems awfully damn tangible to me. So that's what, ten or eleven left if I'm not screwing up?

[Beat.]

Somebody oughta write this shit down.

Tangibility means nothing when it comes to Ghost-types; my Banette feels like a plush toy most of the time, after all. That said, I'd also be tempted to cross it off, but mostly because of their usual personality.

[Not enough pranking and murder attempts to be a true ghost there.]

...I'd write it down in my journal, but it's in the bedroom and the only Pokémon that could pick it up for me is Bavarois. I'd rather not ruin the pages.

[Lancer shrugged, crossing his arms.]

Eh, I can probably remember it. [CAN you? Can you really?]

They don't really look like Water types, that's what I'm stuck on. I mean, all of mine look like what they are--even an Audino looks like it's probably just a Normal-type, y'know? But these guys...kinda don't look like anything. Is it just me?

...I can see some sort of resemblance to Ditto, or perhaps to a slug... This could be because of a dual-type, with enough aspects from both to muddle its origins. But there's already a Water-type species of slug...
