Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop, when one of the items on sale suddenly enters a state of 炎 inflammation. Yoshi, thinking quickly, grabs it with his long tongue and swallows it, afterwords popping out a shell that contains the extinguished item. However, he was allergic to the item, so now his tongue is puffy and in a state of 炎 inflammation, too.
