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.]

What...what won't leave you alone?!

[Although she may know the answer to this one, she's been in this Tower for a while already.

Actually, Kaori falls on the floor herself not so long after, but from exhaustion rather than her clumsiness. She just needs a breath after the sprint.]

It's... somewhat exciting for me, I suppose. It's been a while since there's been a subject I've known so little about. So I'm enjoying all of the reading I've been doing.

I can send over a list of books, if you'd like.

Oh my gosh, he's a baby!

[She sounds so pleased with that...]

That's so cute! Did you have fun hatching him?

Ha. Never asked, really, although I think everyone in New Bark is a bit... odd.

[Something seems to light up somewhere in his brain and he shifts.]

Oh, but I think there are some scientist types near the ruins by Violet.

[... he's kind of maybe smiling at them a little.]

You should probably look into that, yeah. You're gonna want to be prepared.

How big is he going to get?

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2016-03-16 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's refreshing to hear that. Not everyone actually enjoys studying.
crouching_sin: (hey i just met you)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2016-03-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I agree, frankly. You can do a lot with just a little knowledge sometimes.

[... Huh.]

Well, it's a game, so physics shouldn't matter too much.

[Not that he's entirely sure what he's reassuring her about, but anyway.]

It's still fucking weird that there isn't a guide somewhere. I mean, Rose wrote the one we had, but it was still there. Or maybe someone's going to write one for this universe and we'd have to find some time bullshit exploit to access it now?

[That gets a grin out of him.]

I know the Gear has a Pokedex that provides some information, but I don't know much about special circumstances-- I know Growlithe evolve with a Fire Stone, but mine has never shown any interest in wanting to evolve.

... It's literally a fucking video game on multiple iterations of Earth, and there are still people who don't think of it as a game.

[Let's just let this statement stand for a second.]

Oh gosh, yeah I bet! It's pretty crazy the first time!
