[Today, Cecil is posting from the street right in front of the Olivine Gym. Flare is sitting beside him, looking tired but happy.]

Rosa, Rydia, are you both still well? Flare needs to rest first, but we'll soon be able to come find you. We'll not be long, I promise.

[Now that the most important thing he had to say is out of the way, he has a question for everyone else.]

Could anyone tell me more about the Mahogany and Blackthorn Gyms, along with the roads that lead to them? With the end of the road so close, it'd be a shame to stop now.

[Flare barks quickly in agreement, and Cecil ends the message.]

Yet it'd be a waste of eggs, on the road with no way to buy supplies.

For the sake of the greater good. You can't complete your expertise unless you're willing to make great sacrifices.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I doubt my Chansey would appreciate that particular sacrifice.

[video]

[reveiller]

If your Chansey asks, tell them that the eggs were lost valiantly in battle.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...If my wife asks, tell her that death by Chansey is completely painless and that I fought bravely.

[video]

[reveiller]

I'll pass it along.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Thank you. It'll certainly ease her sadness as she mourns.

[video]

[reveiller]

Oh, dear. Should I prepare flowers?

[video]

[paladinlost]

A small, simple bouquet will suffice.

[2/2] [video]

[reveiller]

Mm, I don't think I'd get the flowers quite right. I think you're better off delivering those yourself.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I'd need a Raise spell. Or a Phoenix Down. Or to survive with merely debilitating injuries.

[video]

[reveiller]

With your resourcefulness, I'm sure you'll find a way to keep yourself from getting bulldozed by a Chansey.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Sleep Powder. Or Stun Spore, if needed.

[video]

[reveiller]

Oh, did you have prior experience with that sort of thing? You should share stories like that, you know.

[video]

[paladinlost]

It works for Gym leaders' Pokémon. Why not a Chansey?

[video]

[reveiller]

Mm, are there any gym leaders with Chansey as a pokemon?

[video]

[paladinlost]

None. Whitney uses Normal-types, but no Chanseys.

[video]

[reveiller]

Then it so follows that there should be a fundamental difference. They're very strong pokemon, though, and very loyal.

[video]

[paladinlost]

And extremely proud of their eggs and their nutritive value.

[video]

[reveiller]

And we've come back to the sudden lack of eggs. Maybe you should use a different pokemon's, then. Something safer, and not as likely to send you to your early grave.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...They'd also be more useful if they were sold to prospective trainers. I might have a source of eggs, but I still need to buy everything else.

[video]

[reveiller]

Maybe it's time to invest in pokemon that give almost as much as they take. Those bee-like pokemon make for great sources of honey, I've heard.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I've seen one of those before. Do you know where they can be caught?

[video]

[reveiller]

Not a clue. [cheerful!] The ones with the large stingers, you can probably raise from a worm. But the other kind I've only seen from eggs.
