[Video - Backdated to May 3rd]

[Orihime's holding her device, which is why the feed looks a little shaky. A cute Chespin is standing in the forest clearing just in front of her, with a floating sword looking onward inquisitively...because that Chespin is GLOWING.]

You guys! Look! Charlie-chan is evolving! I've never seen this happen before, so I want to document it!

[The brightness is almost overwhelming, and the floating sword's one eye squints against the glare. Then the light fades, and something new is standing where Chespin once stood.]



......AH HA HA HA HA HA!

[Orihime can't help it. She busts up laughing at the sight of that face. The Quilladin raises a paw uncertainly to its mouth, unsure if it should be offended or not. Even the Honedge is starting to sweatdrop.]

Qu...quill?

Hooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn...

[The device is dropped and tilts to its side, showing Orihime running to Quilladin and throwing her arms around his round body.]

I love you, Charlie-chan! You're so cute!

[The uncertainty fades and it awkwardly pats her back with a pleased smile.]

Quiquill!

Hm- you've trained him up well.

[and adam is with his treecko aw yis.]

[leekspins]

Oh, Adam-san!

[She looks happy to see him, even if it's via video. And what a rare compliment!]

Thank you! I can't take all the credit, though, Charlie-chan works very hard.

[She cranes her neck a little.]

You have a king-sized gecko?

[dramaticals]

[did i say treecko i meant grovyle.]

I bet Charlie does. [adam wouldn't ever treat pokemon like pets after all, ANIMALS ARE FRIENDS.]

I do. [they share a personality, really.] But he's quiet for the most part.

[leekspins]

[Orihime giggles at that. Are you intimidating your Pokemon with your GARGANTUAN HEIGHT Adam?]

It seems like you two are really getting along. I'm happy to see it!

video;

[dramaticals]

[hey man he's the beast what do you expect ;)

adam sighs a little.]

I think he wants more companions... however, I don't seem to have much luck with this.

[if it were fighting he would so be winning. he's not used to these kinds of games!!]

video;

[leekspins]

Hmmmm...

[Orihime considers this for a moment. She's pretty attached to her team, but she hates the thought of Adam's Pokemon being lonely.]

Well, I've got a few. Why don't you guys come over and meet them? If your Pokemon gets along with any of mine, you can have it.

[dramaticals]

[oh. he brought up a hand at that, dismissing her words.]

No, that's fine. A team is strongest when you have a reliable partner, I'm not worried.

[and grovyle makes a noise at that too, agreeing.]

They're your friends, after all, I couldn't take any.

video;

[leekspins]

As long as I get visitation rights, it's fine!

[She said that way too happily, sorting through her Pokeballs. Which one would be good for Adam and Grovyle? Not a grass type, or that would just get redundant, but it shouldn't be someone intimidating to a grass type either...OH! THAT ONE WOULD BE PERFECT!]

How about a ninja cicada?! You would love her, she's fast and strong!

video;

[dramaticals]

Ah... Orihime.

[she seemed so set on giving another one to him. he was going to turn her down again, and he felt like he should, but....

he sighed.]

Would it really make you that happy to give me one of yours?

video;

[leekspins]

Of course! And Kunoichi-san would like it too, I don't want to leave her at home so often.

[She can only take six at a time, so Ninjask and Wormadam usually remain behind since they're fairly strong already.]

Besides, I know you'd take really good care of her.

video;

[dramaticals]

[well, he would take good care of her... just like his grovyle.]

...If you insist, then I'll look after her. Where are you right now?

Video

[dreamingartist]

-wow!! That's...that's so exciting! Heh, you two must've worked really hard! I'll have to do my best for Treecko, and-

[pause]

No, I don't want to just keep calling him that. He needs a name! I...I'd love to name him after my brother, but my brother is kind of shy and polite. Treecko's a little naughty and sneaky.

Video

[leekspins]

Maybe that's what you can name him! Sneako!

[Eh? EH?]

Re: Video

[dreamingartist]

...heh. Hey, that's actually pretty cute! Sneako, what do you think?

[The Pokemon blinks, stares up at Jeb...then bounces up and down! Jeb sighs with relief, he wasn't sure his new pet would approve!]

Okay, then! Sneako it is!

Video

[leekspins]

Ah ha ha! He's cute!

[And they both seem receptive to Orihime's weird sense of humor, so that makes them okay in her book.]

Video

[dreamingartist]

I know! And so's yours! What made you decide to name him Charlie?

[Yay, new friend!]

Video

[leekspins]

It's the name of a world-famous comedian from a long time ago, where I come from.

[Sort of. Different country!]

I'm a big fan of comedies, hee hee!

Video

[dreamingartist]

Comedies are fun! I like a lot of them, too, but I also like love stories and adventures!

Re: Video

[leekspins]

Mm! Me too! We have a lot in common.

[Orihime bows. What a nice girl this person is!]

I'm Orihime. It's nice to meet you!

Video

[dreamingartist]

I'm Jeb! It's nice to meet you, too, Orihime! [Doesn't yet realize he's been mistaken for a girl, though...]

Video

[leekspins]

[With the earrings and braid, he really shouldn't be too surprised by now, ho ho ho!]

Have you been here long, Jeb-san?

[Audio]

[blindneedles]

Evolving?

[Can you feel the frown of confusion? You should!]

I'm not sure I understand.

[Video]

[leekspins]

I guess it's something Pokemon do when they get strong enough! Turn on video so you can watch it!

Re: [Video]

[blindneedles]

[So he does... though since he hadn't bothered turning the lights on in his new apartment there wasn't much to be seen on her end.]

My eyes no longer see. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to seek out one of these creatures and experience this 'evolving' in person?

[Video]

[leekspins]

[She was just about to ask him why he's wearing sunglasses. Now she knows, and she gives a guilty start.]

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know! Ah...yes, that might be a good idea. I know it gave me a great sense of pride to know I could help! You might have got a Pokemon already. Did you check your nightstand? There should be a round ball there with a button. That's where I found mine.
