12th moon [video/action for Burned Tower]

Well, I've finally found a building of historical and mythical significance.

[The video is somewhat dark, but Cecil can be seen, looking attentively at the walls.]

I was unable to visit the matching tower, sadly. But the associated legend is rather interesting. One Pokémon reviving three others... That would take more than the equivalent of a Phoenix Down. Or of a Raise spell.

[He takes a Revive from his pocket and shows it to the camera.]

I also managed to find a few items between all the rocks. Hidden objects and capsules that serve as treasure chests; it almost feels like home. Has anyone found interesting objects on the road?

The Druids were supposed to have practices similar to what you describe. They existed before my time, so most of what I know of them is probably misinformation.

Summoning normally involves some sort of sacrifice in the old stories. Do you think that pokemon are created through such practices?

No, they don't. Just themselves.

And us, I guess.

I wish them luck, then. My kingdom once tried to make its soldiers train their own mounts. It backfired most amusingly.

Not the Pokémon themselves. [He sounds quite sure about that.] We already know they reproduce by eggs. But none of us have found out where all those species come from. There might be some unethical methods involved when giving rocks functional eyes.

How fascinating! Who told you about this legend?

I haven't found anything like that before...You must be very lucky Mr. Harvey!

I heard it from locals in Ecruteak, when I asked around about this burned tower. Though they speak of it more like an historical fact than a legend.

Historical fact you say? So, they believe in this Pokemon that can revive three others? It's too bad you weren't able to explore the matching tower.

How far is this tower from Ecruteak? _{[She fiddles with her map and attempts to locate it.]}

The monks refused to let me in, sadly.

It is within the city proper, around the northern limits. West of the pond, if it helps.

Did they give you a reason why they denied your entrance? I hope they weren't unkind to you!

Ah! I see it now! _{[She points to it with her finger.]} Oh dear, you're so very far away!

They were firm, but polite. I believe the tower is simply off-limits to visitors.

Ecruteak is about a week from Goldenrod, which would mean... two weeks from Azalea? Three?

They wouldn't let them ride?

One was so spoiled and overfed it was twice its ideal weight, another ended up trying to peck the eyes of its trainer and its trainer's wife, a third was unable to jump over obstacles but could waltz as well as any dancer... They decided to go back to professional trainers rather quickly after that.

[Well, that's got to hurt :|]

They couldn't tame them at all?

They had no idea how to do so. They were simply told that these were their future mounts and that they had to train them. Some managed to raise strong chocobos, but most tried their best and simply failed. Of course, a few years later the chocobos were set aside in favor of airships, so it didn't matter much in the long run.

They remind me of golems from the old legends, hulking monsters with little loyalty than to their assigned tasks.

At least all Pokémon have their own personalities. This implies that they have developped normally as individuals, whatever their origin is.

Maybe pokemon are like lost souls, taking forms that make sense to them, and we have been brought here to lead them to salvation and visa versa.

We could always ask. Rosie, do you feel like a lost soul?

[...Do forgive him for dropping the Pokégear. He wasn't expecting Rosie to throw a Koffing at his face.]

...They might or might not be lost souls, but they are souls who want to leave this boring old tower. That's a start.

You alright there?

Maybe you should head out then. Get something to eat and some rest.

Perfectly fine! Those Koffings are rather light.

[He picks up the Pokégear. Rosie can be seen further away, glaring at a Rattata.]

At the very least, I should bring her somewhere sunny before she decides to throw bats at me.

They're poisonous, though, aren't they?

Yeah, bats aren't the best things to have thrown in your direction. They're rather testy creatures.

They are, but this one didn't poison me. [He'd be able to tell, darn those Malboros.]

And their fangs can be quite sharp.

They're such creepy things. I really wish they'd go away and leave travelers alone, but, no, Hell just has to be difficult like that.

At least they don't travel in packs of six like back home. [bloodsuck bloodsuck bloodsuck bloodsuck bloodsuck bloodsuck aaaaargh]

[She thinks about that for a moment.]

Pokémon are pretty smart. You think it might be hiding?
