33rd treasure [video]
[The video starts with a shiny Frogadier that looks much too satisfied for its own good. But that doesn't last very long, as the frog soon grabs the Pokégear and starts hopping through the room, through an appartment, until it finally reaches a room where a man sits at a desk, working. Once in a while, he looks up at the figurine on the shelf before him for a few moments before his hands start moving again. Apparently that's not interesting enough for an apprentice filmmaker, because it jumps up next to the figurine in a single bound.
From its new perch, our amateur camerafrog starts filming its trainer's work directly. The lines of the various models are precise and technical, the notes that surround them completely illegible, and Ash's hands are-
Throwing an eraser at the Pokégear. It misses.]
...You know, acts of corporate espionage are punishable by withheld desserts and bathroom-cleaning duties in this household.
[The threat must be serious; the Frogadier gasps, and quickly ends the feed.]

Exactly! I was thinking about bits or funnels. There's no reason why only X-Rounders should have all the fun, right?
[Video]
Why can't more models have weaponised wings? Not enough resources? Okay, how to convey that with one hand...]
[Video]
Not a lot of models have wings in the first place, other than the Vagan's travel-types. And bits and funnels are difficult to control if you can't interface with them directly, which isn't exactly a common talent.
[Video]
What about being psychic?]
[Video]
...It's much rarer for humans than it is for Pokémon. And not an option, in my case.
[Video]
Tell him about it!]
[Video]
[He's smirking, but the smirk is a bitter one.]
[Video]
...What's this about TMs and powers?
[Atsuro's looking down at the PokeGear screen from above Euler.]
[Video]
They don't work on humans, that's what. Shame.
[Except not really, because he knows they're not what truly matters now.]
[Video]
[He seems to accept the answer at that. Beside, it's an interesting topic.]
It's too bad we can't use them. Life would be fairly different around here if we can.
[People using Flamethrower from their mouth...]
[Video]
[Some people couldn't be trusted with the power to predict the future, either; not that his world cared.]
[Video]
[Not like Atsuro have anything to hide, but privacy!]
[Video]
People who can predict your moves are bad enough; someone who could read my thoughts would be terrifying.
[Video]
Right. At least if they can predict your moves, you can at least try to vary your strategies if you're used to one tactic. Mind reading? There's some counters to that in entertainment, but you have to avoid getting that being read first.

[Got any tales to tell?]

[The local, suspicious cult doesn't really count, in his experience.]
