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.]

[Zubat lets out a surprised screech, as does Ashley, because an Espurr leaps on to her lap and climbs up to the camera, staring at Schuldig while trying to simultaneously nuzzle his trainer.]
...and him.
no subject
[He's amused, though, at the sight of the little guy, and it shows; grinning, he starts wiggling his fingers at the screen.]
That's a cute little guy. So it's gonna end up being one of the blue ones, then, when it evolves — male.
no subject
I know. I want to find a little girl too, eventually, but- I have enough to take care of. A lot of babies. [An absent scratch on Eliot's head. What a bad cat.] And him and Jadis and Arwen are a handful as it is.
no subject
[THIS SEEMS LEGIT.]
no subject
[Bites down on her lower lip, hesitates.]
What...changed? You seemed determined to...see the worst in me, just a few minutes ago.
no subject
[schuldig oh my god]
I guess it wasn't that funny, though, right? I'll try to make my next one better.
no subject
It really wasn't... Reminds me of Mike. I guess- if you really mean it, I...wouldn't mind a cat dealer hookup.
no subject
[OH NO, HE HEARD THAT.]
Some friend of yours, I take it?
no subject
Y- yeah, a... My old neighbor, he's...challenging to get along with. [...] But genuinely a good guy. Just, challenging.
no subject
Well, you know, some people are just like that. Personality types and all. There's really nothing wrong with it. Sometimes you just don't mesh — or in this case, find different things funny.
no subject

Can we just- forget this ever- I shouldn't have said anything, sorry.

So are you knocking boots, or what?
[IT'S A VALID QUESTION, or so schuldig feels]
no subject
OH MY GOD, NO! No no no no, ew, me?? And Mike? Nooo, that would be so so so weird and gross, everyone wants to kiss the Class Prez, but no. No way, and yuck!
no subject
Everyone but you, you mean. Or so I take it.
[He laughs, apparently good-naturedly.]
So why should I be offended about being compared to the class president? You make him sound like a pretty happening guy.
no subject
Because he's also the kind of guy who's an absolute tactless jerk and completely oblivious at that! At least- sometimes, he's got this habit of just poking and poking, not even realizing he's doing it- which I guess is better than Josh, just doing it all on purpose, but he's just such a- a-
[how do you call your friend a fuckboy in polite conversation]
Michael Munroe is one of my it's-complicated best friends, but he is an absolute disaster! [...] I did not mean to make this worse.]
no subject
[Making it worse, that is.]
So why do people like him so much, if he's that kind of person? Is he cute?
no subject
He's- charismatic, and-- you don't actually want to know this, do you? You're- I get it, I said too much, okay? [She just kind of avoids eye contact.]
