.[Hope Estheim - 0.0.3. Video]. What's evolution?!~ (Goldenrod)

[cursedwithpuns]

[Hope looks stunned.

He's just witnessed his little Surskit who was working so hard at training turn into this weird moth thing. He blinks with a smile on his face before turning the camera to the Masquerain flying around his head.]

I don't really know what happened. One minute we were training and then suddenly he went all white and changed into this thing.

[The Masquerain starts flapping, seemingly annoyed at being called a 'thing'. Hope blinks at him before laughing. That was definitely his Surskit.]

Lightning! Ven! See?

[He grins showing it again.]

[cursedwithpuns]

It was.

[He smiles. Oh, a congratulations! This must be a good thing then.]

Thanks I guess. It was kind of unexpected.

[paladinlost]

The first time always is, especially when the difference between the two forms is so great. Can the Pokédex tell you if it'll evolve again?

Re: [video]

[cursedwithpuns]

Oh. I didn't think to check that.

[A pokédex entry is listened to before he replies.]

No... Sursk- ... Masquerain is the final evolution.

[video]

[paladinlost]

A two-stage family, then. That's the case for most Pokémon. Others evolve twice, and a few have multiple parallel evolutions.

Re: [video]

[cursedwithpuns]

Really?

[He blinks.]

Like... you can never be sure which one you get?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Some can be decided by using certain stones or trading them, but that's not always the case. Eevee has seven evolutions, and two of them depend on its happiness at particular times of the day.

Re: [video]

[cursedwithpuns]

Oh. I see. That's kind of interesting. And a little strange.

[Hope shakes his head.]

This stuff gets confusing.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I'd say it takes a few months to become used to most of it, but this world has a tendancy to introduce us to new Pokémon every so often. Each time, we have to learn all over again.

[Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

It's better than back home though.

[There's a small smile there.]

I like it here.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

It's a peaceful world. Most of us can appreciate that properly.

[He might not say it's better than home, though.]

Re: [Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

The peace is kinda what I like most.

[No more running. No uncertainty about what the future holds now they were free.]

It's nice to be able to sit and admire the view once in a while.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

That it is, especially when there's plenty to admire. The view from the top of Mt. Moon is gorgeous, and the Ice Cave is lovely to behold if you do not mind the cold.

Re: [Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

I lived by the sea, so in winter we used to get the icy winds.

[He smiles.]

I'll tell Lightning I want to go see the Ice cave.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

It's been some time since she was last there, I think. She might be willing to visit it once again.

[Though he does not sound completely certain of that.]

[Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

Oh, You know Lightning?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I've known her for some time. She must be quite cheerful these days, now that you've returned.

[Well, as cheerful as Lightning can look anyway.]

[Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

I think so. I hope so.

[He smiles at the camera.]

It's nice to meet you.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

The pleasure is all mine.

[...Again.

He smiles and bows.]

My name is Cecil. Cecil Harvey.

[Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

Hope, Hope Estheim.

[He didn't really know how to react to the bow... he'd never been bowed at before. So he nods back.]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I know. You might have been told about... previous stays.

[Plural used deliberately.]

[Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

... I know there was another me here.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

It's a surprisingly common situation.

[Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

I know.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

If it helps, the previous you did not embarrass himself or reveal terribly personal information on the network, as far as I know. You'll not have to deal with... unpleasant situations.

Re: [Video]

[cursedwithpuns]

It's not that.

[... Nevermind it's silly.]

Did you have another you here?
