Bill, do you have something against Lugia by any chance?

Oh, goodness no! I respect Lugia as much as I do Ho-oh. It is, after all, a cornerstone of Johtonian culture.

It’s just that when you’re a child and you’re told that there’s a bird in the neighboring sea that can level entire cities with the wind generated by a gentle flap of its wings and that this same bird has an unfortunate habit of carrying misbehaving children to the depths of its watery lair, you have reservations concerning talking about it. Or giving much thought about it, for that matter. All of which linger into adulthood.
