28th moon [video]

[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.

[Inside jokes are often the best kind.]

I would suspect he uses both his tail and his mouth. I'm not certain, though. I usually find them after the fact.

I can only imagine what he'll manage once he gains arms.

I only hope I'll be able to train it out of him by then.

[But since it's an endearing character trait, he will fail miserably.]

Training it out of them does not always work, sadly.

[It worked for Avenger, but Kayne still likes to torture Pidgey. The poor things.]

[Don't crush his frail hopes, Cecil.]

Still, I must try.

[So~rry~!]

However, Avenger is less of a prankster than he was when I caught him, though he's not completely rid of the habit. You still have a chance.

[He'll forgive you, this time.]

That is... relieving.

Then again, that was because he redirected his energies in his rivalry with Rosie. Perhaps Richard needs some competition?

I suppose it couldn't hurt.

[He just needs to find another Pokémon that meets his exacting standards.]

Try to find a Pokémon with neutral relationships to the Dragon- and Flying-types, for a fair competition.

[...That'll take weeks.]

That would leave Normal, Poison, Flying, Psychic, Ghost, and Dark. And I have a feeling that a Ghost-type would make it worse.

[Weeks? More like months.]

Yes. Yes, that would make it worse.

[Years!]

[Speaking from experience, Cecil?] In any case, I know that there are several kinds of Normal- and Flying-type Pokémon in the area. It will not be difficult to catch one.

[Decades!]

[Yes.]

I've heard nothing but good about the Pidgeys and their evolutions. I'm afraid I know less about the Hoothoots, the Rattatas and the Sentrets, however.

[Centuries!]

I believe I will choose one of the fliers. It will give them more TMs to squabble over.

[Millennia!]

Be careful once you reach Violet, then. They'll have trouble against the sheep and the rocks in the Dark Cave.

Thank you for the advice. I'll be sure to keep it in mind.

[He'll level-grind that Pidgey or Hoothoot until it OHKO's them!]

Then again, you might want to catch one of the sheep. Falkner uses Flying-types.

[...He would, at that.]

That is a good idea. I have been using only Richard for far too long, and I would like to do this badge challenge fairly quickly.

In that case, you'll need an Electric-type for Violet, a Fire-type for Azalea, a female Fighting-type for Goldenrod, and a Dark-type for Ecruteak. Those last three might be harder to find, however.

I'll still keep an eye out for them, though. If all else fails, I can always use brute-force.

[It's what the Dratini family is made for, after all.]

Do not hesitate to use Thunder Wave, too. Paralysis can be extremely helpful, though the other status ailments also have their uses.

I'll keep that in mind. Any other words of sage advice, O Mighty Cecil?

[As a matter of fact, he does.]

Do not mistreat the Magikarps, for you do not want to be eaten in your sleep by gigantic flying water dragons.
