Third 👻 Story [Video/Action for Violet]

[VIDEO / 3/12]

[At a little desk in a Violet City hotel, Ashley sits in front of a lot of...papers. Many papers, a notebook? Whatever's written on them can't be distinguished from the angle, but oh goodness, it looks like there sure is a lot of it! She looks a lot more put-together than the last time she was on video on the network, that's for sure. Probably helps that there's a Zubat poking up behind her shoulder, like he's holding on with his wings from behind, and it's a surprisingly peaceful image? Really, the girl who'd arrived here in hysterics is completely zen with giving a no-eyed bat a piggyback, something works well in this world.]

Hi. [...you don't have to-] I've, um, more or less... I've started training a lot, for my first gym battle, and it occurred to me that there are some Pokémon here that've got unconventional evolution styles. Since no one's an expert on everything and I'd have no idea where to start looking for one, I wanted to put this out to poll. I don't want to mess up and make it so they can't evolve right, especially since- Arwen, c'mere, don't do that-

[She bends down, dips off-screen (with a skitter from her Zubat) and then pops back up, with an excited little Eevee in her grasp, one who leans forward and sniffs at the camera.] Okay, sure, girl.
Since I've heard Eevee have a lot of forms.

[A small Vee! as Ashley pulls the girl away. The view moves from Eevee-nose to one of her notes, one that appears to be a small...not-good doodle of an Eevee, with multiple arrows. ...It honestly looks like one for each type, um. Only one has a doodle at the end, which is mostly just a not-good Eevee with ribbons for its ears: Ashley's rendition of a Sylveon, with a little scribble of + puffs??.] I had a conversation with someone on how to get a Sylveon, but I'm not sure on the specifics- or how many forms Eevee has, or what causes them to evolve into each of them!

[Her finger rubs against the PokéGear's lens for a brief moment, leaving a faint print as she sets it back hastily so it's pointed back at her face. Her Eevee has since grown bored and hopped off, it appears.]

I don't want to...to train her without knowing what strategies to use. At least for evolution. And then I realized I don't know anything about the rest of mine either.

[What a god awful long preamble, Ash, do you ever shut up, God-
Looking several shades of awkward now that she's been talking for...awhile, she clears her throat and shifts her shoulders, meaning her Zubat almost falls off.]


S-so! Besides Eevee's...everything. I made up a list of my Pokémon, and, if any of them have special conditions or something besides simple training to help them evolve to their next form!

[And now the view's back to her notes, but a different set- it is indeed her roster, just a list of names; Litwick, Espurr, Happiny, Stantler, Zubat and so on. Not a very long list of species, thankfully.] I already know about Espurr's unique case, but for the rest I'm clueless, and the handbook didn't mention hardly anything about evolution.

[...this is because she wants to study isn't it, jesus christ ashley really]

Any information or just tips for evolution training would be very appreciated. Thanks for your time!


[ACTION FOR VIOLET / FRONTDATED TO 3/13]

[Training. Holy heck has this girl been training a lot. Towards the start of the day, you'll catch her with her Pokémon (Litwick, Luxio, Espurr, Zubat, Munna, and a very shy Snorunt) out of their balls, either on her way to or at Sprout Tower. ...Which is a fun place to be. Isn't it. All those freaking ghosts, and-

Naw, she's calm, she's cool. Feel free to run into her during this point, where she's likely training her Luxio or her shaking Snorunt, or maybe her Zubat.

...There is one point in the day, however.

Toward the end, when most of her Pokémon are all in their balls, save for her Zubat who's piggybacking on her shoulders.

Where this horrible shriek just echoes throughout the Tower, and holy crap she sure can run, can't she, down from the second floor and out the damn door, what the heck is she even running from-

Whatever it is, she's very distressed! Naturally. Because she wouldn't be Ashley if she wasn't.]

...It's complicated, but it is my name. Not one I chose for myself or anything like that.

Oh. Y'know. Reasons.

[And totally not that they spell out his name or anything, naaaaah.]

So I don't think we introduced ourselves! This is Team Safety Net, for the record.

[Sound burbles out from the Unown that are now crowding around his shoulders.]

You're really going to see them all soon, at this rate...

[That sounds bad, so she quickly adds:]

Maybe there's a Pokémon or an item that would keep them away?
ossifragant: (⊗ and you claim)

You can ask about it if you want. I don't mind.

[Obviously Ashley's life is a little bit less crowded. Just look at all these pokemon crowding around the sad bird girl.]

A... month, are you really sure? [She's actually rather surprised.] I didn't keep track of time, but I guess it's really flying around here.

...Uh! Did you come here to train too?

Pleasure ta meet ya! I'm Joker, ringleader a the circus over in Goldenrod!

Yeah. There's Glalie, which is the natural evolution. Pure ice type, seems... balanced, I guess. Looks like a giant floating head with a constant glare...

Then there's Froslass. Only female Snorunts can evolve into one, and it takes a Dawn Stone, but they're kind of like glass cannons. Fast but frail. Looks a lot more elegant, too.
ossifragant: (Ã’ but they won't grow)

[He gives a friendly little laugh and shakes his head.]

It's not exactly a pleasant story, but I'll tell you. So long as you're okay with that sort of thing.

...Ghosts?

[Yeah, she can agree with you there, Ashley. Yikes.]

Maybe we can try training out on the routes together sometime. I know it's easier when you have someone else with you, and I've been training here with Bakugou longer then I thought.

[He's probably still in there, beating up a monk.]
charcoalfeather: (I uh...)

[Oops. she doesn't want to cause Ashley to worry anymore...]

Oh, uh huh. That's him! We traveled all the way from Violet city together. [nodnod. It made the multiple day trek through snow... slightly bearable?] Friendly is a good word for him.

[...Stage Whisper.] Also, kind of loud.

Definitely not the normal type...

[The sole memory of her first meeting with a ghost and sending Jigglypuff against it...no, it's too much. Thankfully Chingling took care of it, but it was scary nevertheless.]

So...you've caught a psychic Pokémon?
