[The feed springs on to show a Natu, moving back from the screen to stare at whoever is holding the gear. Nothing's clear from a couple jumps, but she must be conversing somehow. Until the sound of a cackle has her turning and bouncing right over to the baby Vulpix who's listening far too closely to that Haunter for her laughing. She even pecks the baby in the head to get him away, then sits at his feet to discourage the Haunter from doing anything else.

The Vulpix isn't too set on going back either, since the Natu lets him bat her around like a ball for a few seconds. Then she suddenly jolts up and goes to the edge of the road they're all on, looking off to the left. As if aware of what's so interesting, the camera man turns the feed smoothly over-

Right over to the incoming Arcanine, skidding to a stop and sending his riding sprawling to the ground. Yuugi even rolls a couple times, landing right where the Natu can bounce right into his hair, where she belongs. That stops the boy from even rubbing his poor head, and he just sits slowly up instead.]

Aaaaaa... Okay, we need to work on stops more- Oh, don't worry Isami. [Yuugi throws a roughed up grin the fire dog's way when he comes up to sniff over his head, ruffling but not disturbing the bird nesting there.] It's cool- We've definitely got the balance down now, and you're not jolting me off all the- Oh hey, Kansei.

[He reaches down to pick up the Vulpix - who honestly just wanted his ball back - but Yuugi freezes when he spots the feed looking right at him.]

....Shin---!! What are you doing?! Turn that-

[Ever the faithful Lucario, Shin turned off the view of the action, but a few minutes later a text comes on the network.]

Apparently even my team thinks I should ask, so.

Anyone have advice for teaching large Pokémon to let you ride them?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

There's gotta be a lot of trust. And you need to know the weight limit.

At least, in my experience, Aggron can carry a lot more than Arcanine and stuff like that.

Oh-

I don't want to find out by hurting him. Do you have a good idea what's safe for an Arcanine?

Well, he can usually carry me and Sparky no problem, plus my bag.

Two people if we're travelling light.

Oh- that should be no problem, then!

If I was traveling with somebody, I'd probably Fly or something.

Yeah, they're pretty strong, but you probably just want to use them on flatter routes and forest paths. It's a bit harder in the mountains and caves.

Flying's fun, but I like being able to train on the way.

Oh- is it pretty easy to stop and face wilds when you're riding?

Depends on your pace. If you're going pretty slow, then yeah. But if they're running, I guess it depends on how fast the other pokemon is. Arcanine can go pretty fast if you want them to.

I figured that part out. [Time for a sore head rubbing- and jolting back when his Natu pecks the hand from ruffling her.]

I was thinking I probably wouldn't ride while training much, anyways. But it could be helpful, if we need to get somewhere fast.

Or get away fast.

Yeah, I usually don't. It's just nice to have you're tired something.

Are you okay, by the way? You look like you took a hard fall there.

Ah, don't worry! No broken bones or anything.

And I think if something really bad happened to me, my Lucario and Natu would know something.

[And the later is clearly calm as can be, staring at Roxas.]

That's good.

Mm, pokemon are good at that.

[Have a pikachu staring back. And a Joltik.]</small.

You have someone who can commune with the 8east.

You mean through my Lucario?

He and my Arcanine are both not sure what else to do

other than say what fails

Well what exactly are you trying to do?
Just ride it?
Shouldn't 8e too hard if you ask me.

I thought so, too.

But turns out it takes some coordination.

I never had any trou8le with it.
8ut like I said, if you've got someone who can commune with the 8easts, you can pretty much get them to do aaaaaaaanything.
8ut then again, not everyone can 8e as gr8 a I am, and a natural at these sorts of things.
You'll just have to keep trying.

[...he has to take time to translate some of that middle part to get it straight, but all the same.]

I will.

Shin can tell me some of what my Arcanine says, but we both have to work at it. I've never ridden anything, and he's still getting used to being this big.

_{[COMING UP NEXT: HELPFUL ADVICE WITH HEATHER MASON.]}

Sit on them

Repeat as many times as it takes for them to not buck you off.

_{[THIS HAS BEEN: HELPFUL ADVICE WITH HEATHER MASON.]}

-any idea if that takes ten tries or a thousand?

[He shall make good use of advice, just watch!]

that'd depend on the pokemon in question and therefore I have no answer



but for the record riding a Togekiss is sort of like riding a happy cloud

-it's that cool? I wish I could teach Senzai that once he evolves into a Togekiss.

But my friend's Drifblims and how one knows Fly, and not the other, says evolving isn't all it will take.

yeah you're gonna need one of those things for it

the HMs

Right

Do you know where I can get one?

I dunno about the one that lets you surf

but pretty sure you can get a copy of the one for Fly on Cianwood

that's where I got mine.

Cianwood, huh?

Is that the city all the way in the West?

Yeah

the one across the ocean a little

you can take a ferry there from Cianwood.

I wanted to see the ocean

I guess this is a reason to cross it, too!

cool

if you're thinking of crossing it YOURSELF, be careful.

There's whirlpools

I won't

I don't have any water-types, or Surf

Is there not another way?

Yeah there's a ferry like I said

And it has no problem with the whirlpools?

Thanks- I'll save up money for the ride
