29th moon [video]

[The scene is chaotic and glorious: Pokémon shouting, yelling, pleading, all at the same time and at the loudest volume they can manage. Yet somehow, the following can be heard...]

One at the time, please. I only have one hand to write.

[Not that Cecil's request is heeded. He sighs, and addresses the Pokégear directly.]

With the new additions to Goldenrod's catalog, I thought shopping might be a good idea, and it appears my Pokémon agree. Will anyone need something from that list? Some of those items can be rather expensive for newcomers, especially if you've not yet found work. As long as you tell me where you are, I can ask the store to post it to you.

[If he survives the yelling Poképile, that is.]

Are... Are you saying you'll buy stuff for people?

[Isn't... exactly a NEWCOMER, but he's paying off debt already if you can believe it.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

I'd not be able to afford to shop for everyone, of course, but I can certainly offer items to those who need them.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

That makes sense.

... You must be pretty rich.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I've been in Johto for many months, and I've spent most of them working. I have enough savings to survive some time in this world, if needed.

[thebelsareinert]

... How do you feel about IOUs?

[Killua is watching the ensuing chaos from behind a counter and snickering.]

Hey Cecil doing some shopping.

[Video? He's still in Ecruteak.]

[paladinlost]

That's right. Most of my team is in need of new attacks, and Rosie has wished to evolve for months.

[Video] Sorry I couldn't remember T-T

[killer-sweets.livejournal.com]

Sounds like they're going to drain, you wallet for everything you've got.

[Video] It's okay!

[paladinlost]

I certainly hope I can deal with it, after all those hours I've spent working.

[Video]

[killer-sweets.livejournal.com]

Well they all seem to want one and TMs cost a lot.

Oh yeah thanks for the tip about Goldenrod.

[video]

[combat_butler]

... shouldn't we be letting the newcomers earn those kind of things themselves?

I'm all for helping them along, but buying them things like that is almost like making the whole concept of getting a job fruitless...

[video]

[paladinlost]

I do not plan to buy one of everything for everyone who asks. But if one of my friends wishes to obtain a Thunderbolt TM before they challenge Falkner, I'd be morre than happy to help them.

[combat_butler]

--ah... That's still pretty pricey, Cecil-san... You must work quite a lot to be making such a open offer.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Eight hours each day, seven days a week. I need to feed Rydia and Rosa, after all.

[video]

[combat_butler]

--wha! S-Seriously?! Y-You work full time?!

Th... that's incredible!

video.

[reveiller]

Ah, new additions? What sorts are there? I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to take a look at the catalogs yet.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Mostly items that are linked to evolutions. Rosie will finally have the chance to evolve again.

[video]

[reveiller]

Mm, Rosie?

[video]

[paladinlost]

My first Pokémon, a Clefairy. She can only evolve with a Moon Stone, and I'd never found one before now.

[video]

[reveiller]

Into a Clefable, right? Well, congratulations -- you know, I don't think I've seen a Clefable here in Johto. Could she be the first?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Depends on the stuff that's there. I did hear something about Metal Coats...

[paladinlost]

They are in the catalog, yes. Do you have a Onix?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've got a Scy--

[And, right on cue, his big ol' bug pups up behind him, letting out a Scraaaaaa!

It's high pitch and shrill, but at least she looks happy. Her trainer's talking about her!]

...Scyther.

[paladinlost]

[Cecil beams at her. Happy Pokémon are always wonderful to see.]

Scythers evolve into Scizors, do they not? I did not know they also need a Metal Coat.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Scizor's a bug/steel type. I think it makes sense.
