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.

Yeah, I've... heard about them.

[Well only that it was weird and glitchy.]

It's rather strange, in fact. The last few months have been overly quiet. Though I suppose this month's weather was rather chaotic and unnatural...

At least it wasn't as bad as suddenly waking up with no memories of the past few days.

True. That was rather alarming, especially for those you woke up in other cities.

No kidding.

Then again, such events were what finally convinced my friends to move on from Cherrygrove and Violet.

...now that you think of it, a lot of people tends to get stuck in both places for... a long while.

Preparing for the battle against Falkner does take some time, especially if your Pokémon are disadvantaged. And Azalea and Goldenrod are much harder to reach.

...yeah, I still remember being defeated by him a few times.

I managed to beat him on my first try. ...Then again, I'd been in Johto for nearly three months.

...well, that would certainly help in beating him.

It was necessary. Rosie disliked training, Flare was too young, and Esuna had the disadvantage of being a Bug-type. Only Avenger could truly stand up against them in direct combat.

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

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

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

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

No kidding about that one.

...

Even though it ended with Marowak fighting his Scizor.

That must have been an impressive match to watch.

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

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

True, that.

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...

...Bad experience?

[He sympathizes. A lot.]

You have no idea...
