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.]

no subject
No visible ghosts, at least.]
T-They do? B-But why...I've stumbled upon a few of them, maybe more than a few but if they swarmed me...
[She just...presses both of her hands against her temples.]
I wish someone just...caught them all or something.
no subject
[Ashley lets out her Litwick and sighs. Sleepy little candle, all tuckered out from battling... What's this? Oh, hi excitable girl.]
Ugh, they just like me or something. Even when I'm traveling- these guys lent me their Pokémon and I can't count the number of times they've chased off a stray ghost at night.
no subject
Really? Oh gosh...I haven't really met any of them outside.
[Or she just wasn't aware of their presence.]
Ah, I'm not helping much, am I? But it's good to hear that Pokémon are helping you, though. Some of them are really scary, too...
[The sole memory of Ghastly's cackling is too much.]
no subject
Most of them are scary... If this place wasn't so convenient, I'd never ever go back. But it's so easy to train here...
[She groans and shakes her head.]
Hopefully it'll leave me alone for awhile- a-and you, I hope it doesn't start...following you around now too.
no subject
[Some of them are, she just needs to...not run away immediately when she spots one, though.]
W-Why is that? Why would they follow me?
no subject
no subject
[She turns pale in a matter of seconds.]
I'm...I'm not that memorable! I hope...Say, Ashley, don't you want to catch it or something?
[Kaori...smh]
no subject
What? No no no no-no-no-no-- why would I want to have another ghost around?!
no subject
[Maybe she shouldn't emphasize the ghost part so much...not that it would solve the problem of ghost Pokémon in the tower either, but...]
no subject
No! N- Agatha's all the ghost I can handle, th-they're too freaky!
[Sigh. Well, you tried Kaori.]
no subject
[It seems like she has ran out of arguments.]
How many of them have you met until now?
[She may still be hoping that they won't encounter anymore of them...which is pretty naive.]
no subject
You say that like I've been keeping track. There are too many to count!
no subject
[That sounds bad, so she quickly adds:]
Maybe there's a Pokémon or an item that would keep them away?
no subject
[Someone's found her Adventure Inspiration it seems...]
I know what types are strong against them at least...
no subject
[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?
no subject
Um... Yes, two of them. Well, caught one, hatched the other. An Espurr and a Munna.
