[Hey fellow Paldea chums. Guess who immediately hit up the library to learn everything about this region that he can?

So now have Armin absolutely beaming at the camera, a wide smile and eyes shining bright as he holds up an atlas for all to see. The atlas is open to the page on the Asado desert.]

It really does look like a sea of sand!

I've wanted to see a desert since I was a little kid, and now I finally get the opportunity. Would anyone be interested in going with me? Huey, you perhaps? I think there is an assignment available too, if that might motivate some folks.

[Hey, Armin will do the assignment while he is there, but he doesn't need it. He'll go just for the excitement of seeing a desert.]

Or, perhaps, does anyone have a tips on travelling through a desert? Bring plenty of water, of course, but anything else? And pick the right pokemon, I suppose. I don't imagine my water pokemon would enjoy the area much.

Well lined sleeping bags and a hardy tent then. I will add it to the list!

[Yes, she's making a list. She's getting a pen and paper and everything.]

I know we already stressed the importance of water, but the necessity of bringing enough to satisfy both ourselves and our Pokemon cannot be understated.

[schachmeister]

[Making lists? Be still his beating heart!]

We'll need to carefully considering our choices for pokemon too. I don't think most of mine will, uh, really do well in a desert.

[That's cause most of your pokemon are fish, Armin.]

[cyberseraph]

Mm. That's a good point. I'd say that I cannot imagine 'Dora's fur will do much better either, but I doubt he'd stand for being left behind.

I worry that some of our more... island inclined friends may enjoy themselves less. Perhaps the birds will still find enjoyment in the environment though?

[schachmeister]

I've got Magellan and Beatrice, at least. As fire type, they should be able to handle the heat just fine. And they'll be able to keep us warm during the night.

And bringing the birds will be good. If nothing else, they'll make great scouts.
