33rd moon [video/action]

[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.]

You've seen a lot of death.

As much as anyone from my world has, which is rather too much.

Being alive... that's a rather lucky thing.

That it is. Too many die simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Is there ever a right place and a right time?

In your bed, at ninety, surrounded by four generations of descendants.

Is that where you'd like to be?

...Slightly older, perhaps.

Something to work towards.

I stay away from damaging habits.

Then, I trust that you'll take the prerogative to rest well on your journey?

But of course. What sort of trainer would I be if I collapsed on my Pokémon's back?

A very tired one. At the end of it, though, I think you'll be a very successful one.

Thank you. That is indeed my goal, to a certain degree.

Only a certain degree?

Seeing my son again is by far my priority.

[... a pause, here.]

Ah, your son?

Many of my friends have been brought here at some point, but not yet him. It's been quite some time since I last saw him.

Mm, I wonder if he takes after his father.

He does, but he takes much more after his mother.

How so?

He has most of her talent for healing, and definitely her stubborn streak.

Mm, what would you do if he showed up?

Fly to his side in an instant, no matter the circumstances.
