[Are you in the vicinity of Community Building 1 today?

Yes?

Good! Because you arrived just in time to witness a man jumping off one of its highest windows!

Though maybe "jumping" isn't the right word. "Leaping" is more like it. Leaping with his arms (and wings!) outstretched, even. Is he a bird? A plane? Superman? Nope, ladies and gentlemen! Merely an average human being, jumping out of windows as average human beings are wont to do!
...
All right, that was a bare-faced lie. His jumping is much cooler than that of an average human being!

But now isn't the time to gape at his athletic prowess. The ground is approaching awfully fast, even if it's true he doesn't seem too bothered by it. Could it be he has an ace up his sleeve?

Why, of course he does. He's a magician after all.

But you might not know that.]

[An appreciative nod! You're a clever kid, he likes that.]

That's right! I have to admit, I was quite surprised to learn the Voltorb line could do that. But it didn't take me long to see the possibilities!

["Possibilities" meaning, of course, "things a twelve year old would find cool". Probably because he WAS a twelve year old at the time.]

[Reading: It gives him a better name for "some electric types just float".]

It's a good counter against ground types, isn't it?

[hark_a_suicune]

It does make most ground-based attacks useless. But I've found many other uses for it, as well!

[Those "other uses" are where it's at. The ground-type thing is only an added bonus.]

Like what?
