007 | Outskirts of Goldenrod City | Video / Action;

[It's late afternoon on the outskirts of Goldenrod City, where Yagyuu has evidently been out training his team; it's a somewhat unusual sight to see them all out of their Pokeballs at once, but at the moment the full roster has been released to roam around the open expanse of field chosen for today's practice grounds.

Or at least, most of the full roster is: there's an Absol staked out relatively near his trainer, seemingly on high alert as he surveys the other Pokemon in his midst. Farther back from the camera, a Rapidash is roaming with a stately air as a very small Vulpix trots along beside him, bounding four steps for every one of his own. And even Yagyuu's Ditto seems to be present— if the occasional glimpse of purple molecular goo seeping over the edges of the camera lens is any indication.

Yagyuu himself is visible, too; he's crouching down to administer his Eevee's usual meticulous grooming— an activity she clearly seems to enjoy, given the way her tail is flicking with pleasure at the attention— and speaking quietly to her while he's at it.]


Now that Vampa's evolved, that only leaves you to go, doesn't it?

[And she coos, pushing her head against his hand insistently.]

You're certainly growing strong enough for it. And the necessary stones aren't particularly difficult to come by, either; a quick trip to the department store will easily take care of that. So it's just a matter of deciding which type suits you best, isn't it?

[He glances over, surveying his team as they roam and remarking almost absently:]

An electric type, perhaps, might—

[But he never gets the chance to finish the sentence, as the Eevee lets out one last emphatic trill before taking one step back and beginning to glow with bright, almost blinding light—

— and when it clears, there's an Espeon in her place, just as perfectly well-groomed and somehow managing to look twice as haughty for it.

Yagyuu, for his part, just stares for a few seconds before shaking his head in what is probably half amusement and half disbelief.]


...Ah.

[And he keeps staring, up until a Pidgeot comes flapping down from overhead a few minutes later, drawing his attention up and away from the Espeon and toward this latest arrival.]

Irene, another excellent job, but I see we'll have to work at perfecting your aim—

[And on that fairly cryptic note, purple goo oozes completely over the lens, and the Gear switches off.]

That must have been on very happy Eevee! ♥

Is this some kind of Espeon craze that's sweeping the region?

[ you are spared personal space destruction today, Yagyuu; Rise's in the backyard and brushing out her Flareon. ]

I'd certainly hope so; I'd hate to think I was taking improper care of her.

Are they that popular? I hadn't noticed.

[Likewise, Rise is spared Yagyuu's menagerie, on one of the rare occasions that they're all (well, almost all) present and accounted for. Behind him, but still within view of the video, his Rapidash and Vulpix trot by.]

One just evolved the other day! And I've known a few... they're really gorgeous, aren't they?

[ good thing Pepper isn't the jealous type, she's close to sparkling. ]
combat_butler: (Ehe!)

[video]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-09-05 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Mm! There's no questioning that you're a very caring trainer, to be able to have her evolve naturally like that.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's not so for all evolutions, though, isn't that right? The majority of them involve the use of evolutionary stones. It's a rare few that occur naturally.

They're certainly purple. It seems Lady ended up taking after her father, after all.
combat_butler: (Shall I make you a treat?)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-09-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Ayu evolved that way as well, but she did it at night so she ended up as an Umbreon... Getting a Pokemon to evolve just through treating them properly always makes you feel kind of... hmm... Accomplished? Even if you don't mean for it to happen...

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
... You don't like purple?

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
That was the evolution that Lady's mother chose, if I recall correctly. I wonder if an inclination for that variety of evolution runs in the family, then--a component of nature, to complement the nurture.

It's not my first preference of colors, but I don't have any personal vendetta against it.

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... well, you're not alone there. [ for VASTLY different reasons, but she doesn't readily provide clarification. ] But it looks good on her.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Damn right it looks good on her. And since she knows she's being talked about, along comes Lady to inspect the device, as haughty and lovely as ever.]

I presume it's what she wanted, in any case. [As his hand instinctively comes down to stroke her head.] And I had always planned to let the choice be hers, anyway.

Oooh, my vision is coming even more true!
combat_butler: (What do you mean by "gigolo"?)

[video]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-09-05 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... One of Ayu's children wound up evolving into an Espeon... Though I think it's more related to the kind of person that raises them, rather than being in the family.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's flattering to hear, certainly.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Did you prophesy this aspect of her life as well, Kirihara-kun?
combat_butler: (It's a beautiful day!)

[video]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-09-05 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
There are mainly two kinds of people who can get an evolution like that!

The "Crazy Cat Lady" type and the "Caring Trainer" type. You definitely fall into the latter, Mister.

[...]

And that's even more flattering, I believe. Or reassuring, at least. And it's Yagyuu, please. Yagyuu Hiroshi.

Ehehe... Sorry... Was that too honest...? Anyway, ah... Sorry about that, Yagyuu-san! And, um... I'm Hayate! Hayate Ayasaki. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ayasaki-san, the pleasure is mine. And it's quite all right, believe me.
combat_butler: (You want to be part of Hayate's Angels?)

[video]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-09-05 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Mm! Still... I don't think I've ever seen an Eevee-- or an Espeon, rather-- with such a well groomed coat... You must have some high quality grooming gear.

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
It was all Pepper's, too. [ she affectionately rubs the Flareon's ears, even as she smiles appreciatively at the screen. ] Hey, congrats!
babel_hacker: (Grin - Hey!)

Congrats on your Eevee's evolutions!
