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.

Does he still do that? I thought he'd want to train his new starter instead, but I suppose Seifer would be a great time saver. He must enjoy the exercise; I rarely had the chance to take him out, after he fathered Leviathan's eggs.

[He can have Cecil's, it's never used anyway.]

I wouldn't know. I do not watch him train, though I would hope he would have the sense to train the ones who need it.

[This is what friends are for. They give you free stuff.]

He used to keep his whole team at around the same level. I wondered how he would deal with Griever being so much younger than the others, at the time.

[Free cheap stuff. Rosa and Rydia get all the nice things.]

I doubt he could do so this time. The distance between the levels of Seifer and the rest of his Pokémon is vast.

[Why? Because they're women? Because they didn't betray you? Because they're not too stubborn for their own good?]

Even the youngest Pokémon can catch up surprisingly quickly. Flare is at a much higher level than Esuna, even though he is over a month younger.

[...Because he can go to their rooms and ask them if they need anything before he leaves for the Pokémart.]

Level five against over level eighty, though?

[Oh. Clearly, he needs to get to Ecruteak sooner.]

Seifer will stop growing soon enough. The others will have all the time in the world to catch up, then.

[Of course he does. Ecruteak sells water bottles.]

I imagine it will take quite a bit of it, too.

[Those water bottles will be vital to our quest!]

Months, certainly. He'll quite probably have them.

[Never will thirst affect them again!]

I would imagine, seeing as I've been here for almost a month, already.

[They shall defeat that deadly foe, dehydration!]

Almost a month is nothing. I see people who have been here for four months and can still think of them as recent arrivals.

[Offer its corpse as a sacrifice to the gods of safe travel! ...Or the RNG, if it's not too picky.]

It feels as though time flows strangely here. At some times, it's as though it just stops, and, at others, it seems to go much more quickly.

[How does dehydration leave a corpse to offer? Is it an anthropomorphic personification?]

Time flows like the daily life here: almost stagnant when you stay quietly in a city, rushing when you travel or something strange happens. I've been too stagnant, these last few months. I should feel more ashamed of it.

[Metaphorical corpses totally count.]

That wasn't exactly what I meant, though I'm not entirely what exactly I do mean. [He means that time moves at the speed the plot dictates.]

[I didn't know the gods of travel and/or RNG accepted metaphorical corpses. Wouldn't they prefer actual corpses?]

That happens to the best of us, and the local time tends to confuse everyone who thinks about it too much.

[They would, but good luck finding real corpses in Johto.]
