[The video clicks on to focus not on Xemnas, but a rather sedate looking kadabra carefully picking burrs out of a blitzle's fur, the ever-present kadabra-spoon held in its teeth. Both have rather new looking and fairly loose black collars studded with small silvery ...studs, and a single bright silver charm a little too distant to make out clearly. Neither seem to mind said collars, possibly because they'd be able to get them off very easily if they wanted to. When Xemnas speaks, likely the one holding the camera, he sounds bemused.]
I have finally seen evolution in this world for myself, but not with one of the pokemon I have had the longest. Is it odd, that the abra I captured not so long ago, evolved so quickly into its next form? Or is this common for wild-caught pokemon? I have high hopes of seeing the second stage of Regret's own evolution soon.
[The blitzle notices the camera first and perks up visibly. Then begins making faces at it, no small fete for a horselike face. Aside from a slow flick of its rather fluffy tail, the kadabra doesn't bother to divert from its goal of burrs.]
Additionally the growlithe that had chosen to accompany me is still present. If anyone is desirous of having a free growlithe, alert me and I will bring it somewhere you can capture it. To the young man I purchased the gastly egg from: it is a remarkable creature, and one I suspect I will keep for some time. You must be very pleased with its parents.

What's your starter? Lemme see.

Date: 2013-08-28 01:46 am (UTC)I would think the considerable effort I've put into the pokemon I've had longer would have resulted in swifter evolutions than one I've possessed for mere days. ...My starter. Mm.
Regret, come here.
[It's not particularly loud, but it is a command. And one that little blitzle immediately obeys, hauling herself to her hooves, burrs and all, and bouncing over with a distinctly cheerful air.]
This is my first. And currently, my strongest.

Date: 2013-08-28 02:38 am (UTC)[Almost as cute as her own Ponyta. She tilts her head, humming to herself.]
Hmm, maybe he's a late bloomer, that's all.

Date: 2013-08-28 02:54 am (UTC)Nope, but Mayushii has another horse pokemon like it. And her starter wasn't the first to evolve either.

Date: 2013-08-28 02:55 am (UTC)video
Date: 2013-08-28 03:28 am (UTC)Actually, that's probably pretty normal. Different pokémon take different amounts of time to go through the stages. Caterpie and Weedle are two pokémon that evolve twice by the time that they're levels reach the double digits.
You're first pokémon must just be one of them that takes longer to reach their second stage.
Video
Date: 2013-08-28 03:38 am (UTC)Is that so? I have seen little of either caterpies or weedles in the wild.. at the very least, Regret does not seem interested in her own evolution just yet. Nor my deerling. I suppose I will simply have to be patient. Unless of course you know at what point a blitzle ordinarily progresses to zebstrika? Or deerling to sawsbuck?
Video
Date: 2013-08-28 03:48 am (UTC)[ She's going to go to the pokédex entry real quick, and check for both of them, before coming back to talk to Xemnas. ]
It looks like Blitzle evolves at level 27, and Deerling evolves at level 34. Which would be pretty long for a first evolution, but neither of them have any evolutions beyond that.
Video
Date: 2013-08-28 02:05 pm (UTC)Why not keep the fire hound for yourself? Loyalty and devotion are not easy to find, but the Growlithe seems to have attached itself to you and your Pokemon.
Video
Date: 2013-08-28 03:36 pm (UTC)I believe twenty-seven isn't far off, as not long ago she learned Spark. Those with the latest evolutions tend to be strongest, I've been told. Can you confirm that as well?
Video
Date: 2013-08-28 03:38 pm (UTC)[Xemnas actually remembers him! ..And there's still no reason to not be polite about it.]
I considered it, as I still wish to have a sturdy fire-type for my team. However, we have incompatible personalities.
( video )
Date: 2013-08-28 05:08 pm (UTC)It seems as though there are many mysteries that this world holds. I myself have yet to see an evolution up close, but it sounds as though it's something to behold.
[ in the background for tsubasa, there's a ponyta and glameow resting under a tree. they were most likely outside of violet city for a little while. since she had been busy studying along with working at the pokemon centre, it seemed like they were content to just have her in their presence. it wouldn't be long before glameow started getting catty with his trainer again though. he's rather mischievous. ]
My, it seems like the little Growlithe likes you! I think he might be sad if you tried to get rid of him, sir.
( video )
Date: 2013-08-28 05:12 pm (UTC)Hello again, miss.
[He still doesn't really seem evil. Don't evil people cackle a lot about their plans?]
I see you've gained a new companion yourself. Is it working out well for you? [There's a pause.] Unfortunately our personalities are incompatible, and taking care of another pokemon is at this time unfeasible. It would be better if it served a trainer better suited to it. I suspect it was abandoned to begin with, due to its ... very tame nature. The wild pokemon I have caught are distinctly different, though it may also be species-differences.
( video )
Date: 2013-08-28 06:27 pm (UTC)[ thinking for a moment, she glances over her shoulder and then back at the video feed. she's not familiar with the move pool of the growlithe, but for tsubasa it seems like the path she should take. if the pokemon doesn't have a home, and needs one, it only makes sense for her to take it - right? it's like the situation with the hindering cat.. ]
I suppose if you don't have a home for the Growlithe, I can take it off your hands. If when it grows into its evolved form I can make use of it as a breeder, then it will have served a greater purpose. It would be better than being left somewhere, or unused in your care.
[ it sounds cold, but she's being realistic. ]
( video )
Date: 2013-08-28 06:37 pm (UTC)[It doesn't sound particularly cold to Xemnas, but he ran more on cold logic than he did emotions. That anyone would want it is, in his opinion, a good thing.]
Very well. I have not found another interested in catching it. It does not yet have a pokeball and still counts as 'wild'. If necessary I cn catch it and trade it to you, assuming you can't currently battle a pokemon of roughly level eighteen or so. I have been told growlithes are quite popular, it may be a useful addition to your breeding list.
( video )
Date: 2013-08-28 06:59 pm (UTC)That sounds fair. Right now I'm currently residing in Violet City, which I'm sure is far away from where you are. My team of Pokemon has nothing in it worth trading to you at the moment and they aren't the level necessary to defeat it.
[ both her pokemon make a sad cry in the background when they hear "nothing in it worth trading". she isn't fazed by the sound, however. the fact that she doesn't have anything to trade him is kind of embarrassing for her, but she deals with it. ]
I don't suppose there is a Pokemon you have been on the lookout for that I can catch?
[video]
Date: 2013-08-28 07:11 pm (UTC)[...]
Nonetheless I wouldn't wish to part either of them from you. Perhaps in the future when you begin breeding I could ask after an egg. Then it would be a pokemon for a pokemon, simply a little delayed.

Date: 2013-08-28 07:24 pm (UTC)What precisely is 'Luxie'?
( video )
Date: 2013-08-28 07:27 pm (UTC)You are very right, sir! That deal sounds fair enough to me. That makes two eggs I owe you now, I'll keep a note of it. I hope he doesn't cause too much trouble for you in the meantime.
[ business aside! ]
Aside from that, how has your journey been treating you?
[Video]
Date: 2013-08-28 07:33 pm (UTC)[So long as an end is in sight for it, and if the growlithe was a little hungry by the time it was traded off, well, that would help it bond to her better wouldn't it?]
.. Fairly well, all told. I have begun attempting to keep a list of the pokemon I intend to catch or acquire as soon as I can, but most of them are quite some distance off. My team is learning to cooperate in battle, and though I suppose sending three pokemon after one wild one isn't particularly fair, it prevents excessive injury to both mine and the wild ones. Yourself?
Video
Date: 2013-08-28 08:26 pm (UTC)It's my Luxray, silly. You want to see him?
Video
Date: 2013-08-28 08:31 pm (UTC)[Video omg!!!]
Date: 2013-08-28 08:47 pm (UTC)...Not very cute at all. She much preferred the smaller, more cuddly-looking version. Even so, she may as well congratulate Xemnas on his pokemon's growth.]
Congratulations, Xemnas-san. I'm still waiting to see it for myself, though I have been training more frequently nowadays... I'd like Mihawk to grow, so that I can actually ride him once I get that stupid badge, but I thought it'd be wiser to try and train...another one. [Her tone changes, and Perona grumbles a little. She must be talking about her Cranidos.] But she doesn't listen at all, so it's been difficult. I may try again, with another...but it'd good to know you've been having better luck than I with your pokemon.
[NOT ENVIOUS AT ALL, NOPE.]
