[Steve is sitting in the shade of a tree wearing a normal outfit (not his uniform), he's holding an Eevee in his arms, who is softly crying, and has a Lucario sitting next to him looking rather perplexed at the Eevee. Steve looks like he's a little unsure about this]

Grace evolved earlier today, I was a bit concerned about how long it was taking, but she does things at her own pace. [the Lucario looks at Steve and nods in agreement] It was really amazing, I didn't think she'd wind up being so big. No more carrying her around, though she's already picked me up and carried me around. [he chuckles as Grace puffs her chest out proudly]

The problem is Amber hasn't stopped crying and shying away from Grace since. I was thinking she was scared of her, but no, after some charades, I figured out she's really upset because she wants to evolve too. [the Eevee heaves something that is best described as a sob, leaning away from Grace, who is trying to comfort her with some pets]

I want her to meet more of her evolutions before she decides what she wants to be. She's met a number of Espeon's, but none of the others yet. Is anyone willing to humor us and let her at least meet more of her evolutions, even if it's just through video?

Thanks. [a birds talon reaches down to push a button, ending the feed]

Grace just evolved, it's what got Amber so despondent. I've traveled from New Bark to here, but otherwise haven't seen much else. Hoping to get the badge soon that allows me to use Fly. Make some traveling easier.

[Amber jumps up and bumps against Tanuki in greeting, making a happier sound because he's here and so is his nice looking trainer and she's so excited to meet him off the tiny device that her dad uses all the time and paws at him, clearly still sad, but he's a great distraction from it. Grace ignores all of it and studies Tenten and her bird carefully]

Oh, that's a pretty good distance to go on foot.

[Her Skarmory just stares at Grace, not liking any other Pokémon's attention on his trainer but his -- in fact, he goes far enough to spread his wings to try to look more intimidating, catching Tenten's attention and forcing her to make a soft shush! sound, patting the air to try to get him to calm back down.]

Fly's pretty handy, I'll give you that much. You already fight Falkner-san, then? Or are you a breeder?

[Tanuki, meanwhile, is having the time of his life, pawing right back, jumping in the air, padding all around Amber and trying to do his best to cheer her up.]

[yeah, Grace isn't impressed, she travels with a Skarmory, but luckily Tenten and her bird fall under "could care less" and she turns her attention to be on Steve and Amber, completely ignoring the guests]

One of my companions is a breeder I think, though I don't think he gets the concept, he just wants to conquer the badges. But yes, I feel ready to take on Falkner now that Grace evolved. I'll be heading back that way here in the next few weeks. Need to earn some money first.

[Tanuki is doing a great job cheering Amber up so far! She runs around him and jumps, trying to get as high up as him]

[Feng takes that as a victory, letting out a pleased, rumbling metal-on-metal crow of delight, leading to another shush!ing from Tenten.]

I don't blame him for wanting to get the badges, they're a good point of pride, you know. [And for her, something to prove how great she is to Sasuke.] I like breeding, when my Pokémon let me, but battling is definitely what I'd rather do.

[Alright, now that she's starting to get cheered up... Tanuki's got to test if he has a new partner in crime. Game for sneaking up on his trainer and trying to climb all the way up to sit on her shoulders, new-friend-Amber?]

[Grace doesn't even bother looking at the bird when it makes noise, though she likes the aura of delight she gets from him, first time she's gotten a positive reaction to what Steve calls her "Queen Complex" it upgraded from princess when she evolved]

I probably would have made a better breeder, though I haven't done any of that yet. The battling, sometimes I'm not a fan. [Grace leans against Steve, just to offer comfort if he needs it, she hates when he's anything but happy, so she tries to preempt it] But they love it, so I'm not going to stop them, just patch the wounds and coach them.

[Partner in crime? He's come to the right Eevee for that. Amber totally game for this, excited, because she's a good climber and she wants to show off]

You don't like battling, either?

[He sounds like Joonhee in that respect... something she didn't think she'd ever understand, really, though the way his Pokémon leans against him? He definitely can't be all bad.]

I think that's one of the best ways to go about it. Pokémon are like people, they want to train to get as strong as they can.

[Speaking of Pokémon getting as strong as they can... With Amber complicit, Tanuki darts forward, immediately leaping to latch onto Tenten's back and propel himself up to rest both paws between her hairbuns. Feng, on the other hand, is none too impressed, screeching loudly and unfurling his wings in protest as he stamped the ground.]

Tanuki!!

I like training, but when they get knocked out, that's about the time that I become less of a fan.

[he gets distracted by her reaction to her Pokemon climbing her, but even more distracted when Amber follows suit and can't jump as high as Tanuki, landing on Tenten's but before scrambling up to her shoulders. Grace Immediately focuses on that bird, because one negative move at her hatchling and she won't hesitate to take action. Steve frowns, because that's rude, but he also has to high his amusement because the reactions are funny]

Amber!

Gyah!

[Alright Tanuki is hard enough to support, what with fifty-odd pounds worth of Espeon. Amber's clambering attempts don't help at all, leaving her stumbling and only barely managing to catch herself and spread her feet for balance.]

Tanuki, I keep telling you, you're too big for this now!

[Not that Tanuki cares. He's content to be there showing off to his new Eevee friend that look he can ride on his trainer's shoulders!]

Okay, Amber, come here. [he moves over to grab his fluff ball off Tenten, and man is Amber PLEASED with herself. She's chirping with glee, not caring in the slightest that Steve is pulling her away and holding her, as she tells Tanuki about how her trainer lets her ride on his shoulder's all the time, though she often lays on them, but his are really big so there's lots of room]

Sorry about that.

[Amber moving isn't all that much of a relaxation as Tenten reaches back to snatches up Tanuki with a sigh of relief. Let the Eevee and the former-Eevee talk to each other, she was just going to set him right back down on the ground.]

Tanuki, not again. Don't encourage others to do it, either!

[She rubs her shoulder even as Tanuki moves into rub his cheek cat-like against Steve's ankle.]

Anyway, it's alright. With all the Pokémon I have, I shouldn't really be surprised by much.

[Steve sets Amber down, giving Tanuki a friendly pat and a smile, straightening up again]

Amber is the only one who climbs on me and she's the most mischievous. The rest aren't as into tricks and games as she is.

[Amber prances around her dad and Tanuki, clearly pleased with herself, but then also asks Tanuki is his trainer is mad at them.]
