So does anyone know what the trip to Ecruteak is like? If you're going from Goldenrod.

There was a whole lot of dancing at that party a while back and it was kinda fun. So I thought when I got back, I'd try looking into it and learning a little. And then I heard there's a group of dancers in Ecruteak! So I was like, great!

But I've been looking at maps and stuff and it takes like, a week to get there. And I've never traveled that far. I only got to Goldenrod when all that crazy stuff happened just after I got here and I don't even remember how I got here.

So, like... how do I prep? It's not a hard trek or anything, is it? Have any of you guys had any trouble?

It's not too bad! The weather right now aside, the routes are pretty easy to get across. You just want to make sure you have proper camping equipment.

[fortunatetoaster]

yeah. like a proper tent, right? i already got a sleeping bag and the stuff they give you when you turn up here, but i haven't got a real tent yet.

[armoredsoul]

Yeah, a tent will be really important! And you'll want to get some supplies to properly manage a campfire, too. You don't want to just rely on holding your own warmth.

[fortunatetoaster]

i have a fire pokemon
will that do?
i mean i guess i can't just point her at some wood whenever i need a campfire but i guess she'd be okay in emergencies, right?

[armoredsoul]

That'll help, yeah! If she's small enough and willing to, having her in the sleeping bag with you at night would be a good idea. But I wouldn't rely on her completely for helping with campfires.

[fortunatetoaster]

she's tiny and she's pretty friendly so I think that'll go over pretty good
she's one of those little fox ones! they're called vulpixes? i think
but you're right she's pretty little and getting her out to light campfires all the time seems kinda mean

[armoredsoul]

Aw, so cute! Yeah, if she's got multiple tails then she's a Vulpix. There are also Fennekin that are really similar.

[fortunatetoaster]

yeah!! she has a few and they're all curly at the end. but if there's some others like her maybe i'll see if i can catch one of those too. so they can be friends, i guess

[armoredsoul]

That's not a bad idea! I have one myself, so if you can't find one before I do a round of breeding I'll keep an egg set aside for you.

[fortunatetoaster]

oh man you don't have to worry about doing that for me!!
unless you wanna trade? i could hold back an egg next time i get some!!

[armoredsoul]

Sounds fair to me! A fox for a fox--or whatever it is you'll have, I guess.

Oh, the Mareep you gave me is doing really well, by the way! She's got a lot of energy!

[fortunatetoaster]

then it's a deal!

oh right?? that's great!! i'm glad they're all doing well. did you give her a name?

[armoredsoul]

Her name is Molly! Hold on, lemme send you a picture.

[After a moment Al sends a picture of Molly and a sparkling silver Eevee playing tug-of-war with a rope while a Liepard looks on with amusement in the background.]

[ WHAT A PRECIOUS FLUFFSHEEP OH GOSH ]

man she's gettin huge!! she's a real cutie pie!!

it looks like you're doin a great job of looking after her too. she looks real happy

[armoredsoul]

[AL IS THE PROUDEST OF POKEDADS]

Hehe, I'm doing my best! She's such a sweetheart.

[fortunatetoaster]

well that ain't really a surprise
her mom's a big sweetheart too, so i guess she must get it from her
maybe we should let em meet each other some time!

[armoredsoul]

Yeah, definitely! We can have a mother-daughter playdate!

[fortunatetoaster]

that sounds great!
oh but i might not be in town for a while
lemme work out when i'm going then maybe we can sort a date out???

[armoredsoul]

Okay! I'm not planning to leave for my own trip until next month sometime, so we have some time.
