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?

Good, at least Cherrygrove doesn't seem to be getting hit the worst. If you have a fire type -- no wait, the Sentret that breathes fire! If you get snowed in, that should be of great help.

I just worry because it's a poison type, and.. well, for instance, Grimer are toxic sludge Pokemon. Wherever they walk, the ground is so toxic that nothing will grow there again; what happens if another Pokemon steps there without knowing?

Even if I didn't have North, Frederick's a Fire-type.

...I can see how that'd be a problem. You got one of those?

[fairycircle]

Not a Grimer, though I've seen them in the cities. Uh, it's more like... [......... Gets over herself and releases the Trubbish, turning the feed on an excitable, very happy and very much trying to hug Cheria's legs trash bag.

Nope, going to keep stepping back to avoid those hugs.]

What is that-

[Suddenly, Ron is cut off by a pair of tiny hands shoving the Pokedex's scanner in front of the screen]

Trubbish, the Trash Bag Pokémon. Trubbish prefer to live in dirty places like garbage dumps. It is said they were born when a chemical reaction occurred between an abandoned trash bag and industrial waste.

[The hands click another button, going to the next entry]

Garbodor, the Trash Heap Pokémon and the evolved form of Trubbish. Garbodor can absorb garbage into its body. When battling, it fires poison from its right arm and belches poison gas.

So...you're saying that they don't leave pollution lying around?

Yes.

[fairycircle]

[That's actually a complete relief. Why she never looked at it's evolution is -- right, the picture. Garbodor has hands and is six feet tall.]

That's good to hear.. though the belching of poison gas is a new concern.

[usedconfusion]

Well, they make those Antidote bottles for a reason, right?

I wonder if they work on people, and not just Pokemon.
