And here we are, beginnin' the great Litleo Challenge!

[That's... sure Joker. That's sure Joker literally covered in Litleo- five for anyone who's counting- standing on what some might recognize as the ferry to Kanto. There's a Charizard in the background who's looking amused. Listen, he needed a flier to get him to New Bark.]

I've already done the gyms 'round Johto, see, and I thought I'd do somethin' more excitin' for goin' ta Kanto for the first time! So, what I'm gonna do is use nothin' but this group a Litleo! This here is Rose Red, this is Elsie, then ya got Biancabella, Florine, Nen, and- well Dovre ain't with us right now since I had ta use Torch here ta get us ta New Bark, and she'd bite my hand clear off too, but she'll be joinin' us once we get ta Kanto!

And a course, we're accompanied by good ol' Jimmy Two-Shoes here- [The Gear is twisted off to show the kid in question.] Wave hello, Jims!

For anyone who goes ta the Circus, Angel and Invidia are watching over it, save for the days when I'll be stoppin' in the cities. First time me and her will be so apart, s'gonna worry us both...

So that's that! Wish me luck~.

Deserts, mountains, forests, islands... Even the Underworld and two moons, though those visits were unplanned and unexpected.

The underworld, cor. I'd never call my life back home "borin'", but folks like yerself sure make it seem that way!

Not visiting a land filled with lava hardly makes a life boring, though I've no doubt the dwarves would appreciate the tourism.

Ha ha, I don't doubt it! What exactly do they have for that sorta trade down there, then?

A most lovely castle, a famous forge, wondrous caves, and easy access to both the Sylph's homeland and the Feymarch.

[Joker laughs into his hand.]

I wonder how many people here would call any sorta cave 'wondrous' with some a the paths we have ta go through here.

Please. The local caves can be crossed by unattented and unarmed children with relatively little risk. Ours are properly dangerous, and a threat even to trained groups of warriors.

Think we can convince the legendary pokemon a this place ta switch off with those caves and these ones?

Certainly not. Most trainers and breeders are much too young to face Vampiresses or Alraunes in all their... underdressed glory. We must think of the children.

Well, my oh my. So that's the kinda beasties ya have ta deal with, eh? Or is that rude ta call 'em as such?

Considering that their favorite hobby is to attempt to eat humans, the word is perfectly appropriate.

Guess it explains why they apparently ain't interested in clothes. Most animals don't wear 'em either, and they'll just get bloody and torn up anyway. S'almost sensible.

Let's give them some credit, now. The Vampiresses do wear skirts, and only skirts. Skirts that stay in place even when they hang upside down from a cave ceiling. It's quite the impressive sight.

Really? Don't think they'd give up that particular secret, do ya? Know some acrobats that would love ta know that.

...Even if they were willing to share, their lack of ability to speak would be a problem.

Think they know how ta write?

I've no idea, but they do have hands. It must be possible for them to learn.

Anyone ever try before?

...Not as far as I know. Convincing them to stop trying to eat us long enough for proper lessons would be tricky.

Tell ya what, you ever find a way ta go between here and there, take me with. You take care a that eatin' business, and I'll do the teachin'.

[As usual, with Joker's grin, it's hard to tell if he's joking. The answer is 'probably', but you never know with this sort of guy.]

That'll never work. Even the sharpest vampire fangs cannot pierce through my armor, and broken teeth are not conducive to learning.

Ha, ya don't say. Any other way ya know that'd keep 'em in place?

Sleep spells, but at that point their learning capacity is nonexistent.

Ha! Fair enough point. Aaaah, I'm sure I'll figure somethin' out~.

You could try charming them, but I've no idea what preferences they might have.
