[In the foreground, one Cecil Harvey, who is holding a few TMs and staring at them thoughtfully. In the background, one Kayne the dragonite and one Mist the Swablu, apparently arguing. Mist seems to be winning.]

How do you choose which of your Pokémon receive a particular Technical Machine? Normally, I'd simply buy two copies, but those were won from Gym leaders. I doubt they have the means to give each trainer more than one.

[The argument becomes louder and louder with each passing moment. A terrified Ralts climbs on her trainer's shoulder and clings to his hair.]

...As you can see, the potential users are having a slight disagreement. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd be happy to hear it.

...sounds similar to my situation, except I literally only had two battle-ready Pokémon back then.

[paladinlost]

Did either of them have the advantage over Flying-types?

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Nope, Destiny was a Flying-type herself, and my Cubone is a Ground-type.

[video]

[paladinlost]

That's far from the ideal team to challenge him indeed. Flying-types are useful in Azalea, at least.

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

No kidding about that one.

...

Even though it ended with Marowak fighting his Scizor.

[paladinlost]

That must have been an impressive match to watch.

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

It was tough, but we managed to pull through in the end.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Difficult matches tend to be the most impressive. A lack of challenge makes it dull.

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

True, that.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I suppose that's why I enjoyed my battle against Whitney so much, though the aftermath was somewhat trying.

[Shinn's face pales suddenly.]

Don't remind me of her...

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Bad experience?

[He sympathizes. A lot.]

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

You have no idea...

[video]

[paladinlost]

I can probably imagine, all things considered.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

She forced me to carry her shoppings after losing once.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Not again.

[Brb, having traumatic flashbacks again.]

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...she did it to you too?

[video]

[paladinlost]

She was crying. I wished to cheer her up, and offered to escort her to the Department Store. She accepted. For the whole afternoon, and the better part of the evening. On Christmas day.

[[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...ouch.

[video]

[paladinlost]

How long did she keep you busy?

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...we had dinner together.

[Yeah that long.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

...I hope she gave you time to warn your friends, first.

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

[This is his 'are you joking?' look.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

Then again, she might not have wanted to give you the chance to ask for help.

[video]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...probably, yeah. She dragged me out before I could even refuse!
