004 ▲ Video/Action for Route 34

[This video is a very short one, and Luke also looks annoyed in this one.

The reason is pretty apparent, because this is basically what's on your screen.]

WHY DO THE SHEEP PRODUCE STATIC?!

[And then he turns it off to go rant and attempt to de-floof his hair.]

[He returns several minutes later visibly less floofy and more wet, with a towel draped over his head.]

I didn't know just patting it was a bad idea.

[Thank goodness. He was almost getting Vermillion flashbacks there.]

Oh, I've no doubt the sheep enjoyed it while it lasted. But such abilities are always active, and Static happens to be common for the softest-looking Electric-types.

[Unfortunately, it's really cold outside (but not hailing at the moment, or else he'd be inside). That was a bad idea.]

That's not fair. What good is it that they're soft if you can't touch 'em? I think I still have the pair of gloves I got when I got here. I'll try those.

[Much fluff, so deadly.]

By the way, the Zorua and the uh...sword...are doing good.

You can also try holding plastic or a stone whenever you touch them. A girl told me it might help, long ago.

[He's never actually tried it, but it's not as if it can hurt.]

I'm glad to hear it. Have they been behaving, or do they need a scolding from their parents?

Plastic or a stone...I'll try those if the gloves don't end up working.

[Worst case scenario: He gets zapped again.]

No, they're behaving. Susanne--that's what I named the Zorua--doesn't like fighting alone, though...always has to have a partner in battle.

She'll become a future expert in double battles, then? It's not a very common style, but it has its charm. I do hope her partners are always willing and full of enthusiasm.

[It's more of a belief than a hope, really.]

Heh, that'd be cool, I don't mind that. Are those allowed? No one seems to care how many Pokémon are on the field for battles outside, but I've heard it's not the same for battles against other people.

As long as both trainers agree on the battle format, it should be fine. Though it might be more difficult to request for official matches against Gym leaders, or the Elite Four.

I'm not too worried about 'elite' anyone right now. I've gotten kicked out of the last couple Gyms I tried go against.

It usually takes at least a month or two to reach the levels necessary to defeat the weakest Gym leaders. Perhaps they were worried for your Pokémon's health.

[There is about 30 seconds of silence while he processes this.]

...W-well, that makes sense. Wouldn't want one of them to get hurt...

I've been here for two months, that might be enough to challenge one of them, then.

And I've been training them whenever I get the chance.

I've no doubt they greatly enjoy the exercise. What level have they reached? Against Falkner, I'd suggest the early thirties, unless you intend to catch half a dozen sheep.

Early thirties? The highest level is Tear, and she's at level 20.

...That would explain the Gym's reluctance. Even a full team of Electric-types would stand little chance of winning under these conditions. Have you had the opportuniy to buy her a TM or two?

No. Most of my money has gone to a hotel room, food, and decent clothes.

[...]

...What is a TM, anyway?

It's a small disk that can teach certain Pokémon a new attack. Rosie, if you'd please.

[After fifteen seconds or so, his Clefable arrives with his reusable Return TM, which he promptly shows Luke.]

Not all TMs are compatible with all Pokémon, but they can be used to give them greater type coverage. For example, Rosie here can use every type except for Poison, Ghost, Dark and Dragon.

[Hello Clefable, you're very pink.

He moves closer to his screen, as if it'll help him see the disk better (spoilers: it doesn't). He's seen something similar, but not for Pokémon. Are Pokémon computers? That's weird.]

Oh. That's cool. How's it work?

[Heck yes she is. The pinkest of them all.]

You merely have to break the disk over a Pokémon's head, and it'll learn the attack. TMs are usually single-use items, but we sometimes receive disks that repair themselves indefinitely, like HMs do.

[Too much pink.]

That sounds easy enough. So TMs are useless once they're used, but HMs can be used as many times as you want?

[Never enough pink.]

That's right. HMs also tend to teach moves that make travelling easier, while TMs offer a much greater variety of types and effects.
