Would you all mind telling me what is your favorite technical machine, and why you favor it? I swear I'll not use that information against you should we ever meet in battle.

[Using it for future Christmas present ideas is completely fair game, though.]

I'll be happy to offer TM recommendations in return, of course. Goodness knows I've tried plenty.

[Today is a day for both questions and understatements, it seems.]

[Cecil sits at a table, smiling pleasantly while holding a cup of coffee. His team is nowhere to be seen.]

Have you ever regretted teaching an attack to a Pokémon?

[For a few seconds, the feed suddenly shakes wildly, before stopping just as quickly. Outwardly, Cecil does not react to this incident.]

...Any attack.

[Johto, Kanto, today a sad Butterfree is now staring at you from somewhere inside Goldenrod's Pokémon Center. Enjoy.]

This is Esuna, my Butterfree. She's a Bug- and Flying-type, and she cannot use the Hidden Machine Fly.

[The sad Butterfree is replaced with the back of a Volcarona, who is currently busy looking out the window.]

This is Ceo, my Volcarona. He's a Bug- and Fire-type, and unlike Esuna he has successfully learned Fly. In fact, he can even bear for my weight for a few moments.

[Only a few, but that's still pretty impressive for a bug.]

...Sometimes I wonder who created those TMs and HMs, and what was their logic when choosing Pokémon compatibilities. You'd think the Flying-type would be more likely to get that particular attack, even if they both have wings.

[Except not, because that would be logical and sensible.]

[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.]

[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.]

Forgive my weakness and forgive my sins
