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.]

Eye-Oh-Yous? What are those?

An IOU is like... When someone gives you their word they'll pay you back.

If someone promises to repay me, I'll certainly believe them.

That's good of you.

... But I think I'll try to earn it all on my own though... Good luck.

If you need the money quickly, the Goldenrod Department Store offers the best salary east of Olivine. The Pokémon Centers also pay more than the Pokémarts.

That's pretty far.

Sadly. I've also heard that the Moo Moo Farm pays very well, but that one is even further away.

... Moo Moo Farm?

The one that makes the steak?

I think so. They're not too far from Ecruteak, though going there every day to work would be impractical.

What if you moved in?

That might work, but it would means ataying days away from the closest Pokémon Center or Pokémart. They might also not be able to lodge whole travelling groups.

I guess that's true... But I bet you could get discounts.

...Rydia is a growing girl. A stable and constant source of milk would be very helpful, and meat could not do any harm...

...?

I think I hear some gears turning.

Perhaps spending a week working there would be worthwhile, once my group decides to move on.

Tell me how it goes.

I certainly will. I'll tell you if the work is worth it.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

But in that case, knowing who I should contact would be useful. Your name?

Hiroto Ibuki.

My name is Cecil. Cecil Harvey. [He bows elegantly.] It is a pleasure to meet you, Hiroto.

You too, Cecil.

Have you had the chance to sample all the work opportunities this world offers?

Nowhere near it. I've only worked one place so far.

IS it good work? I've worked in Pokémarts and Pokémon Centers, and I have to admit that I tire of them.
