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.
Don’t be in the film adaptation of the Dead Marshes.
On a serious note, so long as you do as Gollum says and never look in the water when you see the lights—which is an odd thing to say but is possibly one of the few times one can say it—you should be fine.
Unless, of course, you’re in the film adaptation. Then I am so very sorry.
Thank you. I am too. I lost far too many days of productivity to that incident.
Bill, you built a robotic turtwig and subsequently managed to set it on fire. —LH
It was a portable storage system, and the fire was a perfectly valid field test. I was able to confirm the cooling requirements of a teleportation unit that small, and we now know that the turtwig should not be exposed to direct heat. I’d consider that a successful test. —Bill

Ah, yes. I believe I know exactly which pokémon you mean!
Bouffalant The Bash Buffalo Pokémon Type: Normal Official Registration #: 626 Entry: A five-foot-tall buffalo pokémon known best for its luxurious mane of hair. The hair itself forms a perfect halo of soft curls that are capable of absorbing damage from almost any attack. Likewise, just as the beard of certain martial artists conceal a third fist with which they may deliver devastating punches, the hair of the bouffalant conceal a rock-hard, horn-like skull plate that adds an incredible amount of power to the species’ already deadly Head Charge attack. Indeed, the glistening, chestnut curls of this creature form the most beautiful hairstyle of any pokémon in existence. It is the hair that puts furfrou’s tamable fur coat to shame and makes milotic’s rainbow-colored scales look utterly dull by comparison. It is the mane of power, and no mere mortal is worthy to gaze upon its magnificence.
