103rd moon [video]

[Cecil does not speak nor does he show himself when he first turn the Pokégear on, but his purpose should still be clear. Three piles of eggs, two small and one extremely large, are proudly displayed with signs that claim prices of P500, P1000 and P1500 respectively. Rosie the Clefable and Noelle the Blissey are also present, repeatedly pointing at the eggs and at the signs as if to show off their wares. Other Pokémon, while unseen, make various comments as it goes on, mostly to praise the strength of their unhatched children.

Cecil lets them do so for a minute, before he finally comments on the whole situation.]

...Noelle, is this an inappropriate time to mention I've been craving poached eggs the whole day?

[Mercifully, he turns off the Pokégear before the ensuing screaming becomes too loud.]


((Eggs a-plenty still available here!))

Are you certain? You'll not see Kanto for a very long time, if that's your goal.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I don't mind. I got stuck in Kanto the last time I was here. I'm not traveling in a group anymore because of that.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...Groups do have that disadvantage, but I find that the company is very much worth it. Though I suppose everyone has different travel preferences.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I've got my Pokémon. That's enough company for me.

[Mostly because his best friend isn't here and was probably dead. Probably.]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

They do have a gift for chasing away loneliness without having a stifling presence, especially when exploring remote locations.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

They also don't eat all of my food.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

That greatly depends on their species. And the size of your team.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I've got six with me, and the biggest one I have, my Altaria, likes berries more.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

How lucky. You could have found yourself training a Pokémon that could easily eat its weight in sweets every day, instead.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

My Pidgeot was like that...

[Overate it's weight in food every day.]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I imagine moving a pair of wings quickly enough to bear and move your own weight must burn energy reserves at an alarming speed, along with the grocery budget.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

That's true. I'm kind of hoping I'll find him again one day.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Where and when was he last by your side? Perhaps he's not moved too far away since then.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

Ilex Forest. We were headed to Azalea Town.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...If I was a bird, I'd stay near such a rich source of food. But then again, it might be too cramped to fly properly.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I don't think he'd stick around there. He liked the open sky way too much.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I can easily understand the feeling, but as most of Johto offers open skies, that'll not help you find him easily.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I know. I get lucky sometimes, so maybe I'll be this time, too.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps. I'd suggest not trying the slot machine at the Game Corner for some time, then. You'd not want to waste that luck.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I don't think I'm old enough to go in there.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Is that so? I did not think that games could have lower age limits.

[The ones that involve money do, Cecil.]

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

There's also a lot of weird people in there.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...The sort of weird people that are simply odd and not the best company, or the sort that could be a threat to others' safety?

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I think both of those.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...All the more reason to not waste your luck there before you find your Pidgeot.
