39th treasure [audio]

[captainash]

Everyone, my team has a question and demands an answer. Think about it carefully.

[The team in question can be heard, yipping and meowing and squawking animatedly. But that all stops the moment Ash takes a deep breath and speaks again.]

...Which are better: dogs, cats, or birds?

.........Very, very carefully, and probably through the influence of mood-altering substances?

I think there are some things mortal minds were not meant to know.

[Voice]

[captainash]

Asking the immortal minds to figure it out for us instead would be unspeakably cruel, if you ask me.

[Voice]

[wing_attack]

Honestly I can think of one immortal mind that might have a grasp on it, but he can also bend time and space so... who knows?

[Voice]

[captainash]

That's an advantage most minds don't have, as far as I'm aware. Did he do anything to deserve having to figure it out?

[Voice]

[wing_attack]

... Well, he's been helpful, but I think he'd take it as a challenge. He has his 'game' he plays with Crayak, so I guess he likes puzzles and strategy and that kind of stuff.

[And now he's wondering what kind of Pokemon he'd train...]

[Voice]

[captainash]

You need strategy to win fair Pokémon battles, and everything about breeding is a puzzle. Guess he'd be happy as either a trainer or a breeder.

[Voice]

[wing_attack]

I guess so. I actually don't know that much about him. He's one of those kinds of near-omnipotent forces that pops in, does a few things, and then disappears.

[Voice]

[captainash]

...That sounds a lot like Arceus' behavior last year, you know. Maybe they'd get along?

[Voice]

[wing_attack]

Maybe. I guess he's pretty much like a god. He'd probably like Arceus, actually...

[Voice]

[captainash]

And is that a meeting that should be facilitated, or blocked at all costs?
