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]

[[All Eevees on the screen say hello, almost in unison.]]

Actually it isn't! Jolteon has the capability of sharpening it's fur if it wishes by charging it with electricity. However, if it becomes startled or angry, it will do this naturally so you will want to be mindful of that while holding her and the like. Similarly, Glaceon can do the same. Only the method of sharpening their fur is by freezing the strands of fur.

[Amber chirps, suddenly much happier, and paws at the screen. She's a social butterfly, so it's not hard to cheer her up with letting her meet new Pokemon]

That's some impressive survival skills.

[[Those eevees are more than happy to chatter back with her. They're just as eager to make new friends as she seems to be.]]

All of the evolutions in the Eevee line are fairly impressive survivalists. Umbreon, for instance, is able to spritz any opposition that is agitating them with a poisonous sweat. Normally their sweat is nothing to worry about otherwise! Leafeon are able to cleanse the air around them. Because of their molecular structure, Vaporeon are able to almost melt into water. They are nearly impossible to spot when they are like this. It also makes them quite pretty to view when they're sun bathing, as the sunlight reflects off of them similar to how it reflects off water.

[Amber is happily chattering, completely oblivious to the trainers talking. While Steve is completely intrigued by the information he's learning]

What about Espeon?

[When Steve first got his Eevee egg, he had his sights set on a Leafeon or Espeon, then realized it should be her choice, not his, but he's still curious to know more about both]

[[She's getting lots of encouragement from the ones on Rose's end. All three are telling her about what evolution is like, what it's like to be them, while the un-evolved Eevee pipes in about how GREAT AND AMAZING Umbreons are. Because.

They are.

They're the BESTEST in Quinn's opinion.]]

In my experience, Espeon are psychic in more ways than just their type. Guile is very good at predicting the actions of people and Pokemon around her. It's really helpful in battles, but it's also wonderful to watch her work with baby and younger Pokemon. She has always seemed to know when my eggs would hatch as well. From what I've read, a lot of this ability is attribute to her fine hairs. Because of just how fine they are, they can feel shifts in the air around them. Supposedly they can predict the weather too, but Guile's never felt like warning me about rain if she can.

[[Rose chuckles and a hand reaches forward onto the screen to pet the Espeon.]]

Though that might be because she enjoys the rain. I've read that their tail also allows them to see possible outcomes of the future, though again she's never spoken up about them if she can.

I'm not sure if this is an ability that holds true for all Espeon, but Guile is capable of communicating telepathically with humans.

[Amber wiggles around, listening, and pipes up that all the Espeons she's known are super nice and Leafeons are so much more awesome looking than she thought and Jolteon is super badass and she wants to be all of them forever and why does she have to choose! And Umbreon sounds super neat!]

Very talented. Most of the ones I've met can talk telepathically with people.

Anything more you can tell me about Leafeon?

Video;

[tentacletrainer]

Of course. [[The Espeon admits that it seems difficult to choose, but she's sure the little one will know what she wants to be when the time comes. The Leafeon and Jolteon nod in agreement.

The Eevee agrees that Umbreons ARE super neat and says she should totally be one. And is then promptly reprimanded.]]

As I said, they're capable of cleaning and purifying the air around them. Leafeon mostly absorb nutrients through photosynthesis rather than eating, though when they do eat they eat fresh leaves or greens. Cocoa here enjoys some fruits and vegetables as well. They haven't been observed eating meat, as far as I know, though every Pokemon is different.

I've read that they aren't fond of fighting much, and Cocoa was certainly like that at first. At least until he learned that no actual harm came to the opponents in most situations.

[Amber thinks the funny looking Eevee is funny, and she says that she just wants to attack things with her noggin.}

That's pretty amazing. Seeing how much my girl likes to fight, I kind of doubt her fondness would fade if she went that route. [chuckles]

[tentacletrainer]

I'm sure it would carry through the evolution. Pokemon have a tenacity unlike any I've seen, and it's rare that this wouldn't pass through the process. [[The funny looking Eevee bounces, telling her all about how you can attack things with your noggin as an Umbreon! You can! And so much more too!

And that's when the Espeon pushes him out of the screen.]]

[starspangledavenger]

My Lucario seems mostly the same after evolving, just less prissy and rude, though seemingly more protective of me and the Pokemon she likes. Makes me wonder how this lady would change and how much depending on the evolution.

[the Espeon just encourages her favor toward that evolution even more, she expresses this as she wiggles around happily. She's not met an Espeon she hasn't liked yet.]
