Spoiler

Fire Breather Bel can teach these moves to any Pokemon with a proper mouth and jaw:
-Dragonbreath, $1500
-Ember, free
-Frost Breath, $1750

Howl's Apprentice can tutor these moves to eligible Pokemon if it's on their ? or level up movelists, including if it's on the movelist of pre-evolutions.
-Foul Play, $1500
-Barrier, $1750
-Role Play, free

And Sid is here, skating around town! He can teach these moves to eligible Pokemon:
-Aqua Jet, free
-Bullet Punch, free
-Extreme Speed, free
-Ice Shard, free
-Vacuum Wave, free
-Can change a Flying Type's ability to Gale Wings if you beat him in a 1v1 battle

Remember these use the Core Book and not Bulbapedia.

First thing I want to do in Elanor proper is take advantage of these move tutors.  Oh boy, here we go!  So many moves I want to teach!  Sid's gonna be busy.

Role Play:
Juliet!  This move is right up her alley!  (and with that, she only needs to learn Feather Dance before she's learned all of her currently approved ? moves)

Ember:
Forthright!  Assuming she's compatible with the tutor, she can use Fire even if other weathers are active!

Extreme Speed:
Mizu!  Now she gets to join the coveted ranks of the Extreme Speed Dratini line!

Aqua Jet:
Mizu (it's not quite as strong as E-Speed most of the time, but there are times when you might want to use it over E-Speed)
Blastoise (I want to get off to a good start with Blastoise, so maybe teaching her a new and difficult to learn move will help?  Assuming she'll behave long enough to learn the move, that is)
Carvanha (finally, a stronger Water type move for her to use!  Nathan and Rhea are going to be so proud of her when she's all grown up.)
Anorith (finally, a damaging move other than Scratch!)
Marill (a good start on getting stronger, though Nathan still has to find time to introduce him to Azu)

Bullet Punch:
Metang (saves some exp, and gives Metang more options with its currently limited movepool)

Barrier ($1750):
Ray (given a choice between spending $1750 on a ? move or 19-26 exp on a move that does the same thing in this campaign, I'll take the ? move.  It also means Ray's learned all of his currently available ? moves now)

Foul Play ($1500):
Porygon-Z (now it can actually use a STAB move with that Dark typing if he gets it from Conversion!  How devious!)

Solar Beam ($3500):
Forthright (okay, it's not a tutor move, but I figured I'd throw it in this list anyways since I've been waiting for Forthright to learn this move for awhile!)

So far, Nathan's spent $6750 on those 3 moves that actually cost money to learn.  Not sure if I'll spend any more money on more moves right now, but I would like to know if the following pokemon are compatible with these moves:

Compatibility Check

- I'd actually like for Forthright to learn Frost Breath if possible.  That way she always has access to an Ice move regardless of whether it's hailing.

- Would Mizu be compatible with Dragon Breath since she's a Dragon and would be compatible with the Gen 2 TM for the move?  And would she be compatible with Ember and/or Frost Breath?  (it is possible for the Dratini line to learn Flamethrower and Ice Beam in the games via TMs, after all, so there is at least an elemental justification for it)

- Would it be possible for Snivy to learn Dragon Breath?  The Snivy line can learn Twister and Dragon Pulse, so why not Dragon Breath?

--------------------------------

Oh, and Nathan's obviously happy to see Sid again.  He hasn't seen him since they first met in Stair.  In fact, Nathan also has a question for the rollerblading kid.  "So, out of curiosity, how'd you get your nickname, the East Wind, in the first place?"
