104th moon [4th walls suck at keeping bats out]

[paladinlost]

[Ahhh, the last weekend of November. As nearly always, every city is invaded by dozens of confused new arrivals, strange Legendaries party like it's 1999, innocent trainers and breeders wake up on the beach or in the middle of the Ice Cave, not-so innocent Rockets do the same, Cecil's house and yard are overtaken by thousands upon thousands of shiny and non-shiny Zubats...

...Wait, what?]

If anyone could help me chase these away before this world returns to normal, it'd be much appreciated!

Surely Rubicante would have burned them down on sight, if Lugae had had the same idea. He had standards.

[dragoon_pride]

Knowing Rubicante, he certainly would have, I don't doubt that for a moment.

[paladinlost]

I miss facing chivalrous enemies. Between the garbage and the exploding snowflakes...

[dragoon_pride]

When they’re things like that, I can hardly blame you. You need more worthy opponents.

[paladinlost]

True warriors, instead of petty criminals. But that's not the sort of villainy this world encourages.

[dragoon_pride]

Then that ought to change somehow.

[paladinlost]

I'd prefer it if no villany was encouraged at all.

[dragoon_pride]

Ah, Cecil, ever the idealist...

[paladinlost]

I know better, of course, but it's still a pleasant dream.

[dragoon_pride]

And if anyone could come close to ridding the world of villany, it would be you.

[paladinlost]

I fear you greatly overestimate my ability to smite evil, but it's kind of you to say so.

[dragoon_pride]

You succeeded at it quite well in the past, from what I've seen...

[paladinlost]

I succeed at smiting it for some time, but it always returns, sooner or later.

[dragoon_pride]

Ah... just as I feared, there's truly no hope for defeating it. [He sighs.] I should have guessed as much.

[paladinlost]

Evil encompasses far too much for good to fully destroy it. Can we stop every murder, every act of cruelty?

[dragoon_pride]

No... unfortunately, we can't. No one has that sort of power.

[paladinlost]

Not even a god could manage it. The best we can do is never giving up, even with that knowledge.

[dragoon_pride]

It's almost too difficult to keep going, when reminded of that. Not as if we have much choice.

[paladinlost]

Oh, but we do. The fact that you believe otherwise says much good about you.

[dragoon_pride]

It's good to know I've not truly fallen all the way into the darkness yet.

[paladinlost]

No darkness in any world is strong enough to keep you very long, my friend.

[dragoon_pride]

I hope you're right... I certainly don't intend to stop fighting against it as long as I can.

[paladinlost]

Good. That's all you need to prevail against it.

[dragoon_pride]

At least one of us has certainty about that.

[paladinlost]

Of course. Someone has to believe in you, after all, and Rosa is not here to do her part. I have to believe for two.
