004 [Video/Action for Route 39]

[starspangledavenger]

[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]

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!!

[starspangledavenger]

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!

[usedswift]

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!]

[starspangledavenger]

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.

[usedswift]

[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.

[starspangledavenger]

[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.]
