20th moon [video/action]

Everyone, good evening. I hope this day finds you in good health.

However, this is not a social call but an inquiry. Does anyone intend to leave Cherrygrove for Violet soon? I have offered to escort a few people there, and I was wondering if anyone would like to join us. Having access to a Pokémon large enough to ride would be optimal, but we can share if it comes down to it. We would depart tomorrow morning. If you are interested, please contact me on the Pokégear or in person. I am currently at the inn, and would be more than happy to answer any questions.

I'm already on my way there. Otherwise I might have joined up with you--it's almost boring on my own.

If you are travelling by foot, we might catch up to you. Arcanines can be quite fast, even with a rider; I doubt they are the only species with that quality.

Yeah, I am. Nothing I have is exactly big enough to ride, unfortunately.

You'll be welcome to ride behind someone else, should there be any space left. It could save you a day or two.

Sounds good. I'll make sure to keep an eye out.

Look for the running tiger-striped dog. With all the snow, it should be hard to miss.

I imagine it would be. While I'm at it, who exactly am I talking to?

My name is Cecil Harvey. [He bows elegantly.] It is a pleasure to meet you.

Likewise, Cecil. You can call me Lancer.

...Let me guess. You fight with a lance or a spear.

Oh wow. What gave it away?

[He laughed, not remotely surprised at the assumption.]

It's not my real name. Kind of a long story.

I can think of worse names than one taken after a weapon. Though I always preferred swords and axes, myself.

Most people do. But at the right distance, a lance could be more lethal than both of them.

I know that well. My best friend can be rather dangerous with them, especially in the air.

If you ask me, there's nothing more dangerous than a spear thrown by the right person. Particularly from midair.

Especially a spear with the right type of elemental power, against a monster that dislikes that particular element. That one blessed spear we once found was particularly efficient.

My own wasn't exactly blessed. Kind of the exact opposite.

What do you mean, 'elemental power'?

He had a cursed spear, too, but it worked terribly against the undead. He soon replaced it.

My world has eight elements: water, fire, lightning, ice, earth, wind, light and darkness. They mostly concern spells, but weapons can also be enchanted with their power. Blessed weapons are light-elemental.

I could never replace mine. It's the best weapon in the world as far as I'm concerned.

Makes sense. I'd guess cursed ones would be darkness-elemental, following that logic?

It must be quite resistant, to never need to be replaced.

That particular one wasn't, surprisingly. It merely happened to drain the life of the people it hit. But cursed weapons generally are, yes.

Of course. I would never let it get broken.

...huh. Must have been a tough curse on that one. Mine prevents the wounds it inflicts from being healed.

That sounds like the sort of weapon you'd not want to cut yourself with. Even healing magic would not work?

Certainly no magic I've ever heard of.

...I wonder if it would still work here? Not that they'd let us access our weapons, but nothing even remotely magical works here. Would that apply to cursed spears, too?

I hadn't really thought about it. I can't imagine it would be just a normal weapon,though.
