[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?]

Let me ask a question in return. Are you sure that this world's magic isn't an enchantment? To speak of magic as if it were not magic betrays your lack of understanding in such matters.

[Because he has no idea Riku comes from a world where people can learn Fire and bash crates to find MP Orbs.]

Oh for sure- but it's not very often you get to say you had a legit death experience instead of a near-death experience.

[Says the guy who was flipping out and finding it extremely unpleasant the entire time.

But he still gets to say he lived through it! Or...unlived through it.

Also, what was that about not needing his help?]

I dunno man, it miiiight be good to have an experience clairvoyant with you in a den of Psychic-types. Ya never know!

[Wink wink, nudge nudge. No need to be modest! He's totally ready to show off.]

[Audio]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Some of the creatures we encountered in October, should they count.

[Audio]

[unkinder]

I would say so, yes. I wasn't particularly thrilled about them myself.

[If he ever sees that thing that bit him again, it's going to have another thing coming.]

[video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

To attempt such a thing is to destine one's self for failure. Not that you would do such a thing, of course.

[He figures he'd better clarify so he doesn't sound like a jerk.]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

It certainly is.

[He's a little quiet about that. Mainly because he's reflecting on how much of it he still hasn't seen.]

[Joker let's the moment of silence last for a moment, just to be polite, before he starts talking again.]

Penny for yer thoughts?

[video]

[styxiedust]

[Good effort, friend, you tried.]

Naturally, besides--I always make sure that my gifts are 100% from me, I don't copy other peoples' ideas. And unfortunately, while I'm good at making sweets, I'm totally hopeless with more refined activities like knitting. [And sewing outside of quick fixes to her kimono.]

[video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Even one such as I, whose very blood contains toxins best left unmentioned, cannot disagree with that.

[..Gundam, why did you even bring that up...]

[islandshore]

Who says all magic has to be an enchantment? Could just come natural to the world. Pokémon do have some pretty crazy powers, after all.

[And that's all innate, whether through levels or breeding or bashing the mover the head with discs.]

[Video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

And?

[He's not even sure if gods means actual gods or something he would refer to as such, so excuse him for not thinking too much of it.]

video

[infinityunlimitedflame]

[He has to think about that one for a moment.]

I suppose the Claydol belonging to a clairvoyant companion was rather strange.

[video]

[captainash]

[What. Whaaaaat.]

...You should probably go see the nurses. I'm sure they can fix that, given enough time and a list of those toxins.

[video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Such a statement is certainly true. Even in all my travels, I have yet to see such a thing occur frequently. Or at least not without some sort of permanent consequence.

[Which he won't elaborate on.]

And true, one does never know. Very well then! You may accompany me into battle if you so wish. But you may regret your decision depending on what horrifying forces are unleashed during our clash!

[shatterings]

[ ... that's a lot to take in. ]

I've never seen a Claydol myself, but... I think I'd like to raise one, eventually.

[Audio]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Was anyone?

[Aside from one of the people he'll be speaking with about this later on. Thanks Lancer.]

Re: video;

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Nothing you need be concerned with. I am merely reflecting on the fact that as far as I have come on this journey, I still have quite the long way to go.

[bylight]

.... what's your definition of a god?

[They are not talking about the same thing are they.]

[video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

[There's a small laugh from him.]

To think that death herself would concern herself with such things. The world truly is full of inexplicable mysteries.

[infinityunlimitedflame]

You may have a point.

[video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

Such an effort would be futile. My very nature is not something that can be so easily corrected.

video

[infinityunlimitedflame]

And why is that?

video

[shatterings]

Well... I don't have any ground-types. And I do like how they look...

[ It looks like a work of art, is what she really means. ]

[Video]

[infinityunlimitedflame]

What sort of question is that?

[Video]

[bylight]

Have you witnessed a god sacrifice his own followers in order to get rid of someone he considered pesky?
