There is a song which echoes from the highest peaks of Glaseado, and for the experienced few who listen closely enough – usually villagers, occasionally mountaineers – it is a precious warning. A Cetitan on a rampage is one of the most terrifying phenomena attributable to ordinary pokemon, not myths and legends, and the large number of this species makes it all the more commonplace.

Snowstorms are common in mountain ranges, but the actions of pokemon can always be distinguished from the actions of nature by watching the cloud patterns – and an unaccounted snowstorm means an emergency evacuation. Berserk Cetitan are known to destroy everything in sight, and their size makes a mockery of any artificial structures; locals have learned, with good reason, to hide out in rock shelters.

If one is unfortunate enough to draw the attention of a rampaging Cetitan, then the suggested move, paradoxically, is to climb on board. An imitation Cetitan song can lead this pokemon to a few seconds of hesitation, and Cetitan have many spikes to lasso oneself onto. Cetitan may make for a bumpy ride, but their back (if one can get there) remains the safest place to be during a Cetitan attack. Tragically, this feat is a difficult one even for those who practice evacuation drills from a young age, and the paucity of domestic Cetitan makes effective practice a challenge. Yet climbing these pokemon has saved many lives, and the attention paid to safety is arguably the reason why human settlements still survive in proximity with wild Cetitan at all.

Trainers venturing near Cetitan habitat are advised to bring a flute and a pokemon capable of helping them get atop a Cetitan, if not simply one which can fly them away altogether, and to pay close attention to weather alerts.
