[When the feed starts, Gundam's holding the Soul Badge up to the camera...and wearing one of those scarves Chihiro was offering a week ago.]

Such a confounding challenge. Though I suppose I should have expected as match from the toxic terrors lurking within the Gym's walls.

[He might've had some problems with the invisible walls. Apparently his so called All Seeing Eye didn't really do him much good there.]

Next, I shall prepare for challenging the precognitive powers of the Saffron City Gym. It seems that even I, Gundam Tanaka, the Supreme Overlord of Ice, can become a creature of routine now that our ominous October is at an end.

[...it was probably a lot worse than ominous, but ominous October sounds cool and spooky doesn't it?]

What I would like an answer to is thus, has the same happened to the rest of you, or do you still tremble in fear at the otherworldly forces that transformed this world?

[He probably could've picked a less intimidating way to ask that, but then well, he wouldn't be Gundam, would he?]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

It would have done nothing against those partial transformations, but even the most determined love child of a Zubat and a Growlithe can go squish, when enough pressure is applied.

[Not that he would really have stepped on those abominations, but having the option would have been nice.]

Even I, one who has mastered unmentionable arcane arts, would not dare to say I enjoyed such an occurrence.

[He can sympathize.]

To do so would be to admit utter ignorance.

That is correct. After dispelling the poisonous plague of Fuchsia City, the next challenge requires confounding such astounding cognitive powers.

A...

[A tiki? Really?]

I suppose I could be considered a hybrid. Of sorts.

I knew I'd get it if I kept trying! Our school recently started accepting hybrids, they're totes amazing! It almost makes me wish I was one, but then again, I am proud of my scaritage!

[Yes, as in heritage but with scare.]

Anyway, I'm sooo glad there's another monster here! I thought I was the only one! We should totes hang out sometime!

Let me guess: you have enough Dark types to handle her Psychics, I take it?

[He figures most people would, though Sabrina is crafty. He doubts even an entire team of Dark types would be enough to sweep hers without much difficulty.]

As it was with me. I can't say I've exactly been forced to undergo a transformation like that before.

I'm from a world where that seems to be an everyday thing. I'd like a vacation from it.

Sounds like it might be a tough one if she's that strong with, ah, cognitive powers and the like. Worried about that much?

I... don't think anyone enjoyed it. I hope it doesn't happen again.

[ ... She doesn't sound too convinced that it won't, though. ]

To have returned from such a fate and not as one of the walking dead is truly a fortunate occurrence.

[In other words, he's glad you're not dead or a zombie, occult bro.]

And I suppose it would be fitting to enlist the aid of the Super High School Level Fortuneteller in such a battle. Not that I expect to have need of your assistance, of course.

[...please come be his moral support, he would appreciate it.]

[No, don't guilt trip him with Pokemon. That's super effective against him.]

I...I am sure that whatever they create will be fine. It's merely that due to my cursed upbringing, I was never really able to acquire much of an opinion when it comes to these things.

[Look Botan, you try his mother's allegedly poisonous cooking and then try and explain what things you like other than “not that.”]

[And that's exactly why she's doing it, what better way to get a guy to open up than to exploit his weaknesses.]

Oh for goodness sake, so you don't have a lot of experience with different varieties of food? Why didn't you just say that in the first place, I would have understood it more than "ordinary topics don't suit me."

[Well, at least then Gundam would know that even the reaper can, indeed, die.]

But at least you're not picky, in that case. [She directs the camera over to a Charizard that...seems to be showing a Phantump how to roll dough.] Shouen can teach them to make cinnamon rolls first, they're his specialty.

You would really do such a thing?

[Heh. This guy sure is... lively, for lack of a better word. Riku can't help but chuckle a little at his speech. It's so dramatic, like someone from a superhero cartoon.

But eh. He knows better than to be a jerk about it, at least.]

Nah, it's definitely gone back to the routine. Honestly, things going nuts in October is just another part of that routine. It's been happening ever since I got here, and that was five years ago...

[He pauses, glancing at a calendar on the wall.]

In fact, I bet you anything we'll be seeing a whole flood of newbies later this month. Always happens this time of year.

[Even he's not sure what his nonsense has gotten him into here.]

Yes, I suppose we should. Such an encounter may prove...enlightening.

[...or he'll just end up more confused about what's going on because did she really say scaritage?]

How could you have guessed such a thing? Does one such as yourself possess something akin to an All Seeing Eye?

[...or maybe it's just common sense.]

They are not my type of choice, but Dark types are strong against Psychics, are they not? Bug and Ghost would work just as well, but Dark seems to be the more common first choice.

I have no doubt that many of those dragged into this world would prefer a vacation from their world's miseries, but to have experience with such a thing and not offer your expertise is...

[What word is he looking for here?]

Disheartening.

Didn't bother me at all.

[and apparently neither does your weird speech pattern, you odd child.]

I thought it was kind of fun, actually.

...I guess that would have been too much of an overkill.

[Softie.]

Fangastic!

It's sooo nice to meet you, Gundam! My name's Draculaura!

Worried? Don't be ridiculous! Gundam Tanaka does not worry!

[Except for when he does, of course.]

However, I refuse to take such a challenge lightly. And not without making the appropriate preparations first.

Such things go without saying.

[He very much hopes the same.]

Though whether we will be that lucky remains to be seen.

[Because he's Gundam, that's why. And he isn't entirely sure how to express that.

And he may be trying to hide the fact that he is basically going d'aww at the sight by hiding in his scarf.]

I believe something like that would be acceptable even to my demonic palate.

I would be a fool to take such a bet. One can almost measure time itself simply by paying attention to that phenomena.

[In other words, yeah, he expects that to happen too.]

But to say things such as that calamity happen regularly at that time of year is concerning. To think that no one has begun to unravel whatever dark enchantment has cursed the world with such yearly misfortune.

[That sounds like there should be more to that statement, but there really isn't. Because the hell if he knows what to do there.]
