19th moon [video/action]

[paladinlost]

[The view of route 31 is nice enough. The sun is peeking between the clouds and shining upon the snow, which looks pure and untouched... Except for a small section where a Dratini is attacking every wild Pokémon he sees while a Feebas cheers him on. Luckily, their trainer is feeling too nostalgic to scold them.]

The last Pokémon I caught for myself was Esuna, nearly a month before I first reached this city. It happened not too far from the cave, in fact... But since then, my team has grown through eggs and gifts exclusively. Is it the same for anyone else?

[The camera is still pointing at route 31, but it turns a little toward the south, toward the city that lies beyond route 30.]

I'll leave for Cherrgrove tonight. I'll reach it soon, I promise.

[And the camera turns back to the training Dratini, until the feed times out.]

I've yet to catch one myself, I confess. I need to, but-- I just haven't run into any that my team seems to agree on, yet, and I don't want to add someone they don't get along with.

I first caught a Pokémon because he did not get along well with Rosie, actually. The two of them were glaring at each other and starting up a staring competition, so I decided to let them argue as often as they wanted. [He laughs softly.] It took me... three weeks, I believe?

I'll have to catch my own soon-- but I've been here two months, now... It's more than time. I'm going to get a water Pokemon of some sort, which I'm sure will displease Karen to no end.

I haven't caught many, one of the pokemon in my team was caught in the wild but.. Well, I was't the one doing the catching. Just seems to me like the ones I've seen in the Cherrygrove area aren't to my liking. Gotta catch the strong ones, eh?

[video]

[paladinlost]

You weren't the one who caught it? Was it a trade?

The first few routes have little variety. Are you looking for a type in particular?

[pervyprince.livejournal.com]

It was... Left behind. His owner went back.

Something that can breathe fire or something would be nice, this weather is terrible and I haven't been able to cook anything since I got here.

Good luck Mr. Harvey! Stay close to Flare. I'm sure you'll need him in this weather.

It's been similar for me as well. I haven't caught a Pokémon for myself in quite a long time. But I don't mind so much. All the Pokémon I've received or hatched are lovely. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Thank you! I'll keep him by my side the whole time.

I would never part with any member of my team. [Unless Firion comes back and wants his kids.] But I do admit that catching a Pokémon by yourself feels rather satisfying.

_{[Iris smiles.]} Ronald is quite jealous of Flare's evolution. Now he's been wanting to train more than ever!

I agree. They're all wonderful. ...Yes. And it's been so long, I'm afraid I wouldn't be very good at it.

I never actually...caught a pokemon. [Chuckle] Most of mine came from eggs, too.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I only caught two: Avenger and Esuna. Both of them in September. That's... my starter, two caught, three eggs, one gift and two received from someone who left. I doubt there are many more ways to obtain a Pokémon.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Four of my party came from eggs. Then there was my starter...I guess Archimedes is the closest to a capture. [Sheepish grin] He sort of decided to follow me, so I'm not sure if that really counts, though.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

I had help... catching Kureno and Suzu, but I caught... Kagura and Hiro on my own, and... Hoshi and Ayame were trades, and Piko was a gift...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Is that so? That means you caught more Pokémon than I did, then. I only captured Avenger and Esuna, and out of those I never quite fought Avenger.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

But they're still... important, right?

[seasaltissacred.livejournal.com]

I haven't caught any yet, either. I still only have one.

Come to think of it, I don't really know how to catch one...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Catching them is easy enough. You attack a few times to weaken them, and then you throw a pokéball at them. Putting them to sleep also helps, and so do attacks that cause paralysis.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

They come from eggs?

[video]

[paladinlost]

All of them. The fish, the birds, the mammals, the rocks... And all the eggs manage to be the same size, somehow.

I'll be glad to see you again, Cecil.
[Edward then smiles a tiny bit -- he's resting up in an inn room, don't worry about him at the moment.] As for captured Pokemon, I have already caught another. [Or, more like, it insisted on traveling with him.] A Pidgey... that is what your species is called, Lullaby? [He's asking the Pokemon who... seems to have made a nest on his hat, at the edge of the filming area. :|]

[video]

[paladinlost]

And I am glad to see you, Edward. Did your journey go well?

Pidgeys make good companions. In their last evolution stage, they are tall enough to fly with a human rider on their back.

I have not caught a wild pokemon since Sarah. Still, my team has grown a good deal since then.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

That was at the end of October, was it not? Yet between those Christmas eggs, the ones people have sold, and Firion's... [He lets that sentence trail off. He knows he has no need to finish it.]

[video]

[monkeyflirt.livejournal.com]

For the most part, yeah.

[There's a pause, and Zidane shifts around.]

So, where are you now Cecil?

[video]

[paladinlost]

I think Christmas made us all lazy. We received and received, so we completely forgot to catch.

In Violet. [He smiles softly.] I'll leave for Cherrygrove tonight. Then, once I've spoken to Edward, I'll escort a few people back to Violet. ...I'm not quite certain what I should do first, after that.
