Would someone in the vicinity of Celadon kindly help us? This child wishes to face the new year as a grown Pokémon, and a temporary trade is necessary for that.

[The child in question being the Phantump snoozing on Cecil's lap when the video starts, a small smile on its face. Cecil himself is mostly out of view, with only a part of his torso and his hands petting the sleeping tree displayed.]

I would also like to invite anyone who wishes to accelerate their egg's hatching to visit my home. Between my Volcarona and my Chandelure, we can cut the necessary time by half, at the very least. And it's never too early for playdates.

[The Phantump chooses that moment to stir, earning a gentle unseen smile from Cecil as he turns the Pokégear off.]

I guess so, but still....I can't imagine trying to grow up there.

[paladinlost]

Just as I cannot imagine growing up without the threat of goblin attacks every time I sneak out of town.

Re: Video

Guess that's true. What about ghosts? Do you have those?

Video

[paladinlost]

Ghosts are rarity, usually remnants of people of great strength with unfinished business. ...Unless you mean ghost-like monsters, which are common in the mountains.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

Ah. I've got both, actually.

Video

[paladinlost]

I see. I do hope the monsters are not too dangerous, and the spirits not too angry.

Re: Video

Nothing a good punch in the face doesn't solve.

[paladinlost]

I've always favored weapons over my own limbs, but I cannot deny that they can be extremely efficient against monsters.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

I guess it's just what works best for me.

Video

[paladinlost]

To your opponents' great displeasure, I've no doubt.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

You bet! They're always all "Arrrrgh nooooooooooo! You've defeated me yet again!!"

Video

[paladinlost]

Goodness. You'd think they'd learn to lose gracefully.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

Oh well. Keeps me in shape, at least.

Video

[paladinlost]

That's often the best use for regular and stubborn opponents, especially if they're not truly a challenge.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

Yeah, though, it does cut into time with my girlfriend.

Video

[paladinlost]

...I've found that battling monsters together is an excellent way to strengthen a relationship.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

...What.

Video

[paladinlost]

Instead of allowing it to cut into your time together, you should face them as a team. It's pleasant, it's safe, and it's a wonderful bonding activity.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

But...my girlfriend doesn't have any super powers....

Video

[paladinlost]

...Not even a basic fire spell? A sharp dagger?

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

Uh...no...

Video

[paladinlost]

That cannot possibly be safe, if there's a risk of ghost attacks.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

W-Well, it's not...but I think it'd be less safe to tell her to stay behind. If you know what I mean.

Video

[paladinlost]

...I know exactly what you mean. Besides, it's not as if they listen.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

So the least we can do is keep 'em safe, right?
