109th moon [video]

[paladinlost]

Once again, my team has proven that they do not believe in restraint, chastity, and their own trainer's comfort.

[Coming from many trainers, such a dramatic proclamation would be a tad exaggerated. Coming from Cecil, with the video showing a bedroom where every flat and not-so-flat surface is covered in eggs, it might actually be true.]

Would anyone kindly adopt one or more of these children? I'll ask for no more than P1500 for them, and the few species that'll hatch with barely any egg moves can be yours for as little as P500.

[Half his team chooses this moment to brag about their future progeny's talents. Their combined volume makes Cecil wince in pain.]

...It'd be nice if they could all find loving homes soon. I might not be around to care for them in the near future.

[And that's all he'll say about that.]

I don't think they'd be willing to trust anyone if they had to do that in a battle. If a pokemon center is close and they do get healed the physical damage might be gone but not the mental damage.

[Cecil nods.]

That takes much longer. Rosie accidentally exploded while using Metronome, once, and she found the experience very upsetting for weeks. ...Especially since the move was wasted, adding insult to injury.

They can accidentally explode?

[ Maria doesn't know much about any sort of move that copies others, or even other moves that can cause the same type of damage as exploding. It's still not fun to know things can just up and blow. ]

[paladinlost]

Certain species learn a move known as Metronome, which imitates any other move at random when used. Sometimes it has a devastating effect on the opponent, but other times...

[Kaboom. Against a Ghost-type. That was nice.]

[bindingsoul]

[ All of this is useful information at the very least. Hopefully her Igglybuff won't try and use that move or even learn it. ]

It's a game of chance using it.

[paladinlost]

Trying it once or twice while training can lead to interesting results, but it's not nearly reliable enough for a serious battle, unless you've no other option. Even if the user does not explode, they might still, say, raise their special defense against an opponent that only uses physical attacks.

[Or use Splash.]
