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.]

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

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

Oh yeah thanks for the tip about Goldenrod.

The oldest will go without. They've already learned new abilities.

You're welcome. How is your business doing?

Business has been booming, the staff at the department store were actually helpful. [Unlike the rest of the locals]

I even got a new product to sell because of their suggestions.

That's quite surprising. What product did they suggest?

They suggested I make some soft candies, since I only seem to be selling lollipops.

So I made gummy candies, in the shaped of evolution stones, I call them evo-gummies.

That does sound tasty. How is preparing soft candy different from preparing lollipops?

The main difference is one of the ingredients in the gummy candy, unflavored gelatin. The gelatin is what makes the candy soft.

Have you found a provider willing to sell it to you in bulk?

They have plenty here, in the department store. Since I working with them, I get a great discount. [plus it helps that he looks adorable.]

And in exchange, your clients must often decide to also go shopping.

Yep, they come to buy some sweets and then go buy stuff from the rest of the store while they're there.

Another good thing is kitchen is bigger and better stocked here than the ones at the pokémon centers.

Goldenrod does seem to be more well-equiped than the rest of Johto, in general. That this would also apply to the kitchens makes sense.

At this point I think, this is Johto's capital. Since this is the only real city sized area they seemed to have.

Yet it seems to have no administrative buildings. Certainly there must be a government in place somewhere?

I don't think they have a government in place, the only thing indicating anything government related is the police.

I've heard how effective they are.

I think everyone has heard, by now. If they accurately represent the ruling class, we might be better off not seeing them.

Well this is a peaceful place, most of the time. Heck Team rocket doesn't really do much either.

Actually the only way they doing anything remotely bad is when non-locals are helping them.

Yet they must have existed before we arrived. I truly doubt a criminal organization managed to spring up from nothing simply because of a few newcomers.

That's true as well, do you think that the police force was only made in response to Team Rocket.

In response to people who mistreat their Pokémon seems more likely. They appear to do very little to fight Team Rocket.

Mistreating Pokémon and making anything remotely like a weapon.

They do not consider frying pans weapons, at least.

I'm surprised that cooking knives aren't considered weapons.

Maybe they were, and the local chefs petitioned against it?
