Everyone, please be careful if you are still trying to travel for the holidays. It really doesn't look like this weather is letting up, plus it's... well, you all have seen the news, right?

I'm somewhat glad I mailed all my gifts out earlier, but I got a message from the post office saying the gifts will likely be delayed a few extra days, just from all the heavy weather. Eridan and I are staying in Cerulean for the time being, so please, nobody worry about us.

I also had a question, um.. is there such an item that makes it so a Pokemon doesn't evolve? Do you think, if it is real, that it is a good idea to use? Or is it wrong to make it impossible for a Pokemon to evolve?

Ahh, well, usually I'd prefer to leave it up to the Pokémon themselves. If they don't want to evolve, they shouldn't have to just because their nature says so, but if they do, then I wouldn't want to hold them back. But in that kind of case...

Well, I guess, does it like going around and messing things up, or can you make sure it only comes out in places where nothing grows anyway?

It likes to follow me, regardless of where we are. [No, she doesn't have a Grimer, but the unsanitary problem is the same as with her Trubbish. Still a bit ashamed of the poor thing? Yeah.] I just... it's not sanitary, and while I understand that it has feelings too..

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

I see.

Hmm... I wonder, do they make coats for those kinds, or anything? I mean, I don't have any experience with raising poison-types, so I don't know, but... Maybe they have some kind of coat you can get that would let them go around without being dangerous? Or something like that, anyway.

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

I wonder too! I suppose that would be something to look around for, instead of thinking about restricting their growth.

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

Even poison-types are natural around here, right? And they're not exactly uncommon, either. So there's probably something that someone's come up with.

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

Most of them do occur naturally, even if it's... through weird circumstances, so yeah. I'll definitely check around now. Thank you!

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

Ahh, it's no problem. Pokémon can get pretty weird sometimes, so it's only right to help each other out with them, right?

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

Right! I've been here nearly five months and it still seems like there's so much to learn.

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

I'm still finding things I didn't know even after two years, so...

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

Another one who has been here so long. [Going to make a tally soon.]

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

I think I've heard of people who've been around up to two and a half years, at this point. 'Course, there are also a lot of people who end up leaving before they even reach one year...

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

Wow.. I wonder what the case is with who stays and who goes..

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

If there's a pattern, I haven't heard of anyone who's figured it out, anyway.

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

There's that, on top of people coming from all sorts of different times for each other too.

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

Yeah. Ahh, it's a huge pain, if you try to think about it too hard...

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

No kidding! I think I'm going to stop thinking about it now, or just shrug and call it "time shenanigans" the way Jake does.

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

That's probably a good way to deal with it.

[Audio]

[fairycircle]

I've found myself with less headaches from that sort of answer.

So are you ready for the holidays?

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

The holidays...? Ahhh, mostly, I guess...
