Interwoven Bags
During our time away from this website, we received a pair of special bags known as interwoven bags!
These special bags share their interior, so something put in one of them can be taken out of either!
They're extremely fascinating, and I want to take mine apart to figure out how it works, but Thievul says that that won't accomplish anything. Confound it!
I'll have to do more research into them in my spare time.

Is this working?
It seems to be working!
We're back! Sorry about the extra-long hiatus, I lost my connection orb during that dungeon expedition.
Lots happened since then! I'll write up an update post soon.

Meadow Runoff, 2F
Back once more! The second floor of Meadow Runoff has now been surveyed!
Moving up to the second floor was a bizarre experience. As we walked up the stairs, it was like the ground shifted up with us! I don’t have the supplies to conduct full research on this phenomenon quite yet, but I look forward to doing so soon!
This floor was more difficult than the last one. We encountered some stronger Pokemon, and the fairy types gave Thievul a bit of trouble, though we pulled through.
In total, on this floor, we encountered:
2 Skiploom
1 Sentret
1 Flabebe
2 Cottonee
1 Gossifleur
We found more supplies on this floor, too! Another “wonder orb”, more strange seeds, a couple berries, and even a “wand”! Thievul said that wands are sticks imbued with dungeon power. I am immensely intrigued by that, and will have to ask more about these “wands” later.
I will be heading up the next staircase once Thievul finishes their section.
- Cedar
Greetings, Thievul here. I have some additions to Cedar’s section.
The fairy types did admittedly give me some trouble, but do not worry, I am fine. An oran berry is all it took to heal me up. Thank goodness we haven’t encountered any monster houses.
If any of you have any questions for us, please let us know.
Here is our current inventory:
3 tiny reviver seeds
4 oran berries
1 cheri berry
1 persim berry
1 stayaway wand, fully charged
1 warp wand, barely charged
1 one-shot orb
1 sunny orb
1 lasso orb
1 escape orb
2 heal seeds
1 blast seed
1 totter seed
4 apples
1 progress device
Cedar and I shared another apple before writing this report. I do hope we’ll find some in this dungeon, they’re best fresh.
I will see you all on the next floor.

This may be a strange question, but as one not from your world, why are your lightbulbs powered by electricity? Is that not a hazard for excited electric types?
- Thievul
annnnd we have our first property damage of the break season. Rum got so upset to hear Control over the phone and not Here With Him Right Now that he wailed out the most pitiful howl and blew the lightbulb in the hotel room's lamp. a record, usually those last a few days
thankfully the staff didnt care at all, he's endeared himself to them.

I see...I suppose that makes sense, and does account for Slowpoke. Where I come from, we call the Slowpoke variants “pink-tailed” and “yellow-tailed”.
It is truly fascinating to see a human in action. Thank you for your time, professor.
- Thievul
(@ask-professor-cedar-pmd) Thievul: The Thievul looks up at Saguaro, before bowing their head. "Greetings. I am Professor Thievul, and I am researching humans. Where I come from, we call variant Pokemon by their types, such as 'Ice Vulpix' or 'Poison Slowking'. Why do humans use location names instead?"
"Azu, az zuma. mari ri."
Ah... Hmm. That's a very good question.
Well, from what I know, it's due to Pokemon like Slowpoke. We can't call Galarian Slowpoke 'Psychic Slowpoke' because, well, normal Slowpoke are ALSO Psychic type! It's just that Galarian Slowpoke lost their Water typing.
"Coa! Coal coal!"
Oh? Well, perfect timing, another great example.
Red-Striped Basculin and Blue-Striped Basculin hatched from the eggs!
We can't exactly call these two by their typing. They're the same Pokemon, but they behave differently. So we call them 'Red-Stripe' and 'Blue-stripe'. There's also the White-Stripe from Hisui, which I have available to study compared to these two.
I think, mostly, us humans use where they live instead of their typing so that it's easier to identify where they originated, and it helps in our studies on how these Pokemon change their typing like this.

Meadow Runoff, 1F
We’re back! We have surveyed the first floor of Meadow Runoff, and we’re here to share our findings!
First off, about my using of the term “first floor”: Thievul told me that mystery dungeons are divided up into “floors”. Apparently it’s quite literal, as I’m stopping by a staircase to write this! According to Thievul, nobody truly knows why mystery dungeons are like this. I hope that is something I can figure out during my research in this world!
As we entered the meadow, I felt a brief wave of nasuea, before realizing that my surroundings had completely changed. There were walls of dirt and flowers all around, and corridors between the walls leading off. The whole mystery dungeon seems to be composed of “rooms” and “corridors”, where rooms are large open areas, and corridors are the pathways between those areas. I will be using these terms from now on to describe mystery dungeons. In total, there were seven rooms on this floor.
We encountered a fair few Pokemon here, too! Though unlike the Pokemon outside this mystery dungeon, they were more like wild Pokemon back in my world, even going so far as to attack us on sight! I couldn’t understand them, either, and neither could Thievul it seems.
In total, on this floor, we encountered:
2 Hoppip
1 Skiploom
2 Sentret
1 Gossifleur
We also found several more supplies on this floor: More “Wonder Orbs”, according to Thievul, similar to my Connection Orb, but with different functions. We also found several odd seeds not seen in my world. Thievul said they know what they are, though I’ll have to ask them about them later.
I will be heading up the staircase once Thievul finishes their section.
- Cedar
Greetings, Thievul here. A few clarifications to Cedar’s section:
The “wild Pokemon” are known as dungeon Pokemon, and they often attack other Pokemon on sight. There are many theories as to why they do so, which I will state as we progress through Meadow Runoff.
Cedar attempted to talk to the first one we met, a Sentret, and it Tackled him after he said his hellos. He is very strange. I look forward to learning more about him.
One question I have is that Cedar does not know what mystery dungeons are. Does that mean they do not exist in the human world? Why is that? I hope to find the answer to that question through my research.
3 tiny reviver seeds
5 oran berries
1 stayaway wand, fully charged
1 one-shot orb
1 sunny orb
1 lasso orb
2 heal seeds
1 blast seed
1 totter seed
5 apples
1 progress device
Cedar and I shared an apple before writing this report, as to explain why we have one less apple now.
I will see you all on the next floor.

Meadow Runoff Preparation
It’s long overdue, but I am finally conducting an expedition into a “mystery dungeon”! I am going to detail every aspect of it I can. I am excited to share my results with all of you!
- Cedar
I will be accompanying Cedar on this expedition, both to help with his research, and to protect him, as I do not believe he knows any moves yet.
Our supplies for this expedition are:
3 tiny reviver seeds
5 oran berries
4 ethers
1 max elixir
1 stayaway wand, fully charged
1 one-shot orb
2 heal seeds
6 apples
1 progress device
If you have any questions on what any of these are, please ask me.

OH HO HO HO HO HO. WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? A NERD. A PROFESSOR IN TRAINING? A BOOK WORM? A SCHOLAR? HOW ABOUT YOU STUDY THESE GUNS. LOOK AT MY MUSCLES. THEY'RE HUGE. I'M HUGE. I'M LITERALLY GETTING INCREASINGLY BIGGER IN FRONT OF YOUR VERY OWN EYES. YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS? DOUBT IT. MY MUSCLES HAVE MUSCLES. WHERE ARE YOURS? WHERE ARE YOUR MUSCLES? DO YOU WORKOUT? GET GAINS? SHOW ME YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE.
...what?
I...don't think you have any guns? And I'm not particularly interested in your muscles, I'm aroace, but I am fascinated by the chance to talk to a Mythical Pokemon! You're correct, I've never seen anything like this!
Tell me, where are you from? What do you do? What, er, made you so muscular?

I see! Intriguing. I hope to one day be able to see this for myself.
In my world, there are ways to accommodate almost all types of Pokemon. Though an age-old conundrum has been accommodating for fully aquatic Pokemon. We have towns that are partially submerged, and train carts filled with water, but we have little in the way of letting them move around on land on their own.
Perhaps we can adapt some of the stuff from your world, to better ours.
Thank you for your time.
- Thievul
(@ask-professor-cedar-pmd) Thievul: Greetings. I am a Thievul from another world, and I have been highly curious of your kind and world for quite some time. Might I ask, what kinds of technologies do you have for Pokemon in your world?
...You know, I've seen stranger things than a Thievul able to use a computer.
Aha, anyways. Hello there! I suppose being from another world shouldn't be so surprising- what, with those Ultra Beasts that brought up a ton of fanfare in Alola a while back. Though I can't say I've met a Pokemon who is also a professor! Intriguing.
That's a pretty broad question! What kind of technologies are you meaning? We have everything from devices Pokemon can use to communicate, to prosthetics, to transportation built specifically with Pokemon in mind. Not to mention technology to assist with battling, to connect Pokemon's power to their trainer, technology specifically designed to help Pokemon with certain jobs that require a boost. Really, you name it, we've got it as far as I know.
Did you have something specific in mind? If you're looking for a specific kind of technology, I'd be happy to rattle on about what we have available :)

I suppose what I’m wondering is how you accomodate for different Pokemon in your world? I know humans care a lot for Pokemon, and I am curious what kinds of things your kind have designed for us.

(@ask-professor-cedar-pmd) Thievul: Greetings. I am a Thievul from another world, and I am very curious about humans and your world. If you do not mind me asking, how does your rehabilitation center operate?
Erin- We operate on a professional basis, making sure any Pokemon that comes through our doors gets the best treatment available. All Pokemon deserve the best and we will deliver that to the absolute best of our abilities.

There appear to be a number of sacred sites around this world, from what I’ve researched! Places like the Hidden Land, a landmass that’s perpetually a second in the future, or the Tree of Life, a gigantic tree that is also Xerneas, and keeps the planet in orbit!
There also seems to be something called the Voice of Life, some sort of living embodiment of the planet itself! I am absolutely fascinated by this, and am very excited to learn more, or perhaps even meet them!
As for practices, I haven’t learned much of those yet, but I’m researching!
Ghost-types seem to be treated much the same as other Pokemon here. I met a young Mimikyu with a Piplup costume who answered a lot of questions about ghost-types I had! They said that they eat berries and spiritual energy, and that they aren’t treated any differently than their classmates.
Of particular note, when I asked them if the urban myth of Yamasks being dead humans was true in this world, they were completely baffled, saying, and I quote, “Humans can’t die!”
I intend to find out more just what exactly they meant by this.

Palossand parasitize on humans in the human world? Fascinating.
- Thievul
(@ask-professor-cedar-pmd) Cedar: Hello, Professor Palmetto! I'm Cedar, a Pokemon Professor in training, and I've made the discovery of a lifetime! A world filled with nothing but Pokemon, and I'm able to understand them due to being a Pokemon myself while I'm here! I heard you specialize in Pokemon spirituality, and I'm wondering if you'd like me to share with you my notes on what spirituality they have here?
A world filled with nothing but Pokemon? I'd certainly be interested in hearing about their practices and beliefs, if you do have notes on such.
As a bit of a ghost-type specialist myself, I'd also be interested in how pokemon which often utilize humans for parasitic relationships, like Palossand, fair in that world. Do they prey solely on other pokemon? How does that affect the dynamics between those types and others? Are these pokemon the stuff of folkloric legend, something like a vampire or cryptid with associated superstitions, or are they well known and treated just as any other pokemon in the public zeitgeist? Or something in-between?

(@the-worldabove) bai@thievul: you're interested in humans too, huh? i'm sure we have different reasons, but what about them is so interesting to you?
Humans are one of the most fascinating things known to Pokemon. They come from an entirely seperate world to ours, almost always in order to save it from calamities. What is their world like? What makes them perfect candidates to save our world? What, exactly, is a human really? Those are all questions I am fascinated with, and hope to find the answers to soon, now that I'm partners with a true, real human.

(@ask-professor-cedar-pmd) Cedar: "Hello!" the Sneasel said, pulling out a notepad. "Could you tell me what it's like being a hybrid?"
@ask-professor-cedar-pmd
Well, it is an intriguing experience. It's like I carry her soul within me. I often hear her voice; she talks to me....guiding me. You can say I gained more than just powers from our union.

(shaymincafe) Rosemary @ Cedar: So was there a particular field of research you were planning to focus on? I know some friends of mine that are also professors have particular areas they focus on.
...pardon me, I need to scream in excitement for a minute at meeting a Mythical Pokemon.
There we go.
My field of research is Pokemon behavior, and how they interact with each other! Their speech, habits, and how different species cooperate, it’s always fascinated me!

(@ask-professor-cedar-pmd): "Greetings!" the Sneasel said, putting his claws to his goggles. "Might I inquire what this 'bounty' is about? Do criminals exist here?"
“Oh, well it’s quite simple. See, a bounty is a sum of money placed on a Pokemon based on crimes and bad deeds they have done in the past. Dragan here has a bounty of about.... I believe thirty thousand.”
“Yeah. And it’s turned me into one of these bounty hunting dogs. I’m above this, I don’t know why I’m bothering with it.”
