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.]

Yep, that's right! I babysat one and the lady said she'd pay me extra to get it to evolve, so I worked really, really hard!

[...apparently this woman just left her golbat with nowi for two months, that sure was a thing.]

They're super cute! I think I'll have to get one at some point! Ooh, let me know if yours has any eggs, okay?
invigorating: (BLUSH ☆ so let's get married)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-15 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my gosh, he's a baby!

[She sounds so pleased with that...]

That's so cute! Did you have fun hatching him?
invigorating: (SMILE ☆ ready for ten hours of games?)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh gosh, yeah I bet! It's pretty crazy the first time!
invigorating: (Default)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh gosh, it's alright! I was kinda scared the first time I hatched a Pokémon from an egg! But aren't Zubats really cute? He's so adorable!
invigorating: (HUH ☆ what's a toaster)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Yeah, I guess I can see why. I didn't really think much about it, but that could be kinda creepy, huh...
invigorating: (WEH ☆ ginti's the worst)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was kinda scared of some of them at first too... Like the jellyfish! But I think the first one I saw wanted to attack me, sooo...

[It was all Ginti's fault, he left her to drown!!! in like three feet of water okay]
invigorating: (POUT ☆ you're such a meanie)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh gosh, they've got blue bodies with red gems on their heads and they have the angriest faces! And they've got two little tentacle-arm things and if anything is gonna drag you to the bottom of the ocean, it's those guys! And they're everywhere in the water! Well, the ocean water. They're not in the pond.

[>still has not ditched cherrygrove...]
invigorating: (SAD ☆ incoming tears)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't blame you, I haven't been back out in the ocean since that happened...
invigorating: (JOY ☆ this is the best day ever!!)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh gosh no, they're not! Ginti has a lot of Water-types and some of them are super cute! Like Horsea! They're so cute!!

[...she has literally no idea what a seahorse is, so she doesn't know how to describe it BUT TRUST HER, THEY'RE ADORABLE.]
invigorating: (CHEER ☆ oh boy this'll be fun)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what a seahorse is, but maybe? They're blue and they're super cute!! Ginti started with one, so I don't know where to catch them here, but when they evolve they end up being so pretty! And they're part-dragon!

[...oh so that's the real reason.]
invigorating: (SMILE ☆ ready for ten hours of games?)

[personal profile] invigorating 2016-03-16 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, definitely! So I'm sure you'll find the perfect Water-type Pokémon at some point, even if some of them are kinda weird!

[...are you even trying, nowi]
