[Cecil is smiling and alone today, though a few of his Pokémon can be heard in the background.]

If it's no trouble, I'd like to hear about everyone's experiences with real estate in this world, especially when it comes to larger homes in Kanto. ...No, forget that, stories from any world or dimension would do. I've never had the opportunity to choose a house before, and I wish to know what to look out for.

[He sounds altogether too cheerful at the thought of inspecting houses for potential latent defects.]

I also wish to temporarily trade two of my Pokémon, as they are both more than ready to evolve. Could anyone around Celadon help me with that? I'd appreciate it.

[Background: Saffron City's Pokémon Center, lobby, that nice spot with the comfy benches. Foreground: Avenger is propped against Rosie, who is snuggling up to Esuna, who is spread out halfway on Edges, who is curled up against Minerva, who is sprawled over Kayne's tail. All are sleeping.]

Truly. You'd think a good battle would have left them energized. I think the lack of talented opponents made them lazy.

[But Cecil sounds more fond of them than anything, the silly man.]

That's another badge earned, and four possible paths to follow. It's nicer than having to follow a predetermined route, I must admit.

[Even if he'll spend the next few days wondering where to go.]

[A pale hand is slowly rolling a few Pokéballs on a desk, as its owner speaks softly.]

One received as a starter, oh so long ago.

[Sweet little Rosie, who had taught him the basics of this world when he was not in a state to learn by himself.]

Two caught with my own hands, within my first month here.

[To have revenge and to keep the peace, and perhaps out of curiosity and wonder.]

One received as a gift, to remind each other of our fondness.

[But Aerith was gone, now, and he'd never found out where her Marill went.]

Eight eggs, bought and traded and raised from birth.

[All of them grown, now, with nearly nothing left to learn from him.]

...Nine who found me when their trainers were lost, and who might have seen them come and go since then.

[Yet so many of his friends had disappeared leaving none behind, with nothing but his memories left of them.

The hand stills over one of the balls. His message is almost over.]

...Perhaps I should start catching once more, and start anew somewhere else.

[There is a Gyarados on the screen. Bouncing. Up and down and up and down and- You get the picture. There might also be a squealing Clefable somewhere on top of said Gyarados, but with all that bouncing it might be hard to tell.]

I was already familar with TMs, but that move tutor also knew a surprising number of abilities, compared to the one in Ilex Forest. Does anyone have any interesting attacks to recommend, machine- or tutor-taught? I find myself hesitating between a few of them, and additional opinions would be appreciated.

[Riding a bouncing Gyarados must be pretty fun, because Cecil's Umbreon and Blissey are now trying to jump on.]

Leon, do you still need help with that house? Now that Kain has his badge, I should have the time to go. In fact, we need to discuss travel plans, travelmates. Perhaps- oh dear.

[The disadvantage of riding a bouncing Gyarados is, of course, the risk of falling off. Thus, Cecil abandons this post to go help poor Edges, who just found out that it's hard to hold on to someone when you only have paws.]

[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.]
