[Roxas pops up on the network, a green and yellow scarf around his neck with his Dedenne peeking out of his coat. Neither will complain about the cold. This is a first for both of them. The backdrop is clearly Ecruteak.]

So when's it supposed to start snowing again? Does anyone know?

[Vivi squeaks the same question. He wants to play in more snow!]

Oh yeah... do they have a Pokémon Santa here? It's Christmas this month, and I've never seen a Santa before other than the weird ones that are ringing bells. And if it's a person instead, isn't Santa supposed to ride around on a sled pulled by reindeer? Stantler are like reindeer, so I guess he'd have those here... how does he deliver all those presents in one night? Is there more than one Santa?

[These are pressing questions, people. Please enlighten the blond and his tiny squeak.]

But they can still do it. Heck, some have abilities that change it as soon as they're let out of their balls.

As for the Titans... They're these giant golems made of rock, metal, and ice. Wound up nearly flattening all the cities, and even the toughest Pokémon couldn't leave a scratch.

[seasaltkey]

[He doesn't put most of his in their balls, sooooo...]

Really?

How did they get stopped?

[islandshore]

Honestly? I'm still not sure. There was a bright flash, and then the titans just... disappeared.

[However, his expression soon sours.]

The wreckage didn't, though. Kinda a pain, but I guess it could've been worse.

[seasaltkey]

So everyone had to help rebuild everything?

[islandshore]

Not everything, but a good chunk of the damage. Some gyms were closed for a while, towns were a mess... Wouldn't be the first time we've faced disaster, but it's definitely one of the more memorable ones.

[seasaltkey]

Are there places people can't get to anymore?

[islandshore]

[He shakes his head.]

Nah, pretty sure everything's still accessible... well, other than Tohjo falls, but they only open their doors for special occasions.

[seasaltkey]

Tohjo Falls? Where's that at?

[islandshore]

Hmm... It's at the very edge of Kanto, east of New Bark, but it's off limits to everyone who isn't part of the Elite our.

[seasaltkey]

Is it a dangerous place?

[islandshore]

Nah. It's more like a resort. There's a big mansion and everything-- definitely a high class spot, so it's no wonder they keep the doors shut half the time.

[seasaltkey]

You think they keep it closed so they can decorate it without people bothering them?

[islandshore]

Honestly? I think they keep it closed so they don't have to deal with the public. They are a pretty big deal, anyway, and they haven't even taken challengers in years.

[seasaltkey]

Why not? They don't wanna get beaten down?

[islandshore]

Could be that, could be them being total hermits. Maybe they don't want to deal with the publicity or the loopholes of outsiders becoming champ.

[seasaltkey]

That's... a dumb reason.

[Sounds like Setzer all over again.]
