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.]

Just like that?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Mostly. A few small details are still unclear in my mind.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... Maybe that's a good thing.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Perhaps. But I do wish I could still remember the Onion Knight's eye color.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... Why does that matter?

[video]

[paladinlost]

It's always somewhat sad, to realize that you cannot remember a dear friend properly.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

Is he here?

[video]

[paladinlost]

He's not. Out of our group, he and Terra are the only ones to never have found themselves in Johto.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... I see. That's too bad.

[video]

[paladinlost]

It truly is. We even had eight people out of ten at the same time, for a few days.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

And now?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Six of us, though we were only three for over a month.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

In that case, you've doubled overall.

[video]

[paladinlost]

In a single day, even. It was quite the stroke of luck.

[Well, more than that, but that whole thing with forgotten cycles would be hard to explain anyway.]

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... No kidding! That's pretty incredible!

[video]

[paladinlost]

Hopefully they'll all stay for a few months, this time. Back in October, Cloud never even reached Cherrygrove.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

They were just... gone?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Almost as if he'd never been there. We never even found his Pichu.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... This place...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Some people disappear before we even realize they were here in the first place.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

How often does that happen?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Very rarely. Most spend a few weeks here first.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

Good.

[video]

[paladinlost]

And they generally make their presence known on the PokéConnect, somehow.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... That's kind of creepy.
