[ Kirishima is just kind of tired after the fight in the Lost Temple so he's not showing up on video. He's got just one question. ]

So does anyone know why there's a Villain organization rallying behind a bleeding lemon?

Or does anyone know about any sort of um... what's that word.... emojism? It means 'meaning'. I mean the emojism for lemons as far as where I'm from is just "sour" but does it mean something different where you're from?

To be honest I don't even get what makes a Pokemon 'legendary'. They're all crazy powerful. But whatever the reason kidnapping is just wrong!

[chirpier]

Don't the Rockets only come in during . . . Events?

I don't know how else to put it but I want to be as prepared as possible if I see one in the street. Even though I'll probably never feel ready to take on a Criminal Organization.

[machismost]

I mean if they were really all knowing they would have known we'd kicked their asses! Which we did! But even if they're wrong they're still a threat...

And yeah! I feel like I saw it was a cooking thing? You put a lemon in a whole bird you're cooking to make it taste better and that means putting it up the butt...? Is that just my world? Now I feel really dumb!

Except if we can say they are bird butt dressing that would undermine them a lot right?

[epitaffio]

Maybe...
It's because "crazy powerful" is relative?

I mean I'm sure most Pokémon could beat a regular animal in a fight...
But what about Pokémon battles? There's always one that's stronger than the other.
So it makes sense that some of them have to be the strongest of them all, right?

[talkyourwayout]

Okay, yikes.

I got some things like nuggets and pearls. There was also the map that some others who'd found a key used to get deeper into the temple.

( brb delayed response because she's cracking the fuck up-- )

cults don't like to think they'll lose. pride, arrogance, audacity... it all goes hand in hand, i guess?

and i dont think so, its just that i don't normally cook whole birds so i don't know as much about it lmao

but yeah it absolutely would

[machismost]

Yeah, I was there too! It was kinda crazy for a sec and then the egg almost disappeared-!!

But that one guy saved it! [ Sure, "saved" it. He sure is good at giving people the benefit of the doubt. ] I kinda wish I'd asked Manaphy a question, but I couldn't think of any good ones at the time.

[machismost]

But who decided they're the strongest of them all? How do they decide that? I definitely haven't heard of any of them out beating up the Elite Four or anything!

[epitaffio]

I guess SOMEONE must have fought them.

[questioneverything]

[Romelle nodded.] That was Doppio. He was on my riddle team. We had to go to Cerulean Cape and get a scale from a Dragonite in order to raise the temple.

I couldn't think of any questions, either, really. It was kind of overwhelming in the moment.

[machismost]

HOPE THEY LEARNED THEIR LESSON THEN BC WE KICKED THEIR ASSES!!!

I don't cook a lot either I just enjoy food a lot so don't even worry!

Is there a way we can make it a catch phrase? Bird Butt Lemon? Butt Lemons? Blemons?

[machismost]

[ ooc; someone told Kirishima that 'Doppio' was who saved the egg but lemme know if he's under a different name on the network! ]

I'm really happy you saved the egg anyway. Someone else told me that was you. You should take more credit for being a hero dude!

[machismost]

Woah! How'd you get a scale from a Dragonite?

I know right, though? I guess I ought to think of more big questions in case more 'legendary' Pokemon like that pop up...

[epitaffio]

[ooc: nope, all good! :3c]

Oh

[Right. That.

He's... content letting people believe what they want to believe, especially since it's the least incriminating option, but all the attention still feels... really weird.]

It was nothing really!
I kind of wasn't thinking?

[questioneverything]

Oh, well, we just asked nicely. The Dragonite seemed quite willing to share.

I wonder if other such Pokémon would be willing to answer our questions like that... or if they're even able. I don't know of many Pokémon that are able to communicate like Manaphy did.

[machismost]

Some people say that's the mark of a true hero. You already moved to save the egg not knowing what might happen? So manly!

[epitaffio]

Manly??

[NOBODY HAS EVER CALLED HIM THAT???]

[machismost]

Hell yeah dude! Protecting a baby no matter the cost is super manly! AND Manaphy decided to talk to us because of you! You're the best!

[epitaffio]

[HE IS 100% NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH THIS??]

Uh, thanks.
