☇ 004 - accidental video

[ the camera feed turns on, a black figure rushes forward, his back toward the camera/pokegear. in the distance is a bright light (look! Cyndaquil's evolving!). Squall stops before kneeling down, head turned away from the bright light. Then the light fades ]

Cynda?

[ Squall's head drops (nope, no evolution for you today, Mr. Broodypants). He shakes his head before speaking up, his tone dry ]

You are... something. Just when I thought you'd...

[ He sighs before he falls onto the ground with a loud thud. He groans, staring up at the fire-type that is now sitting on his stomach with arms crossed and head back and forth from side to side ]

Quil Quil! Cyn Quil Da Quil, Cynda. Cynda?

Right. (Let's pretend I understand that.)

[ The SeeD scoffs before standing up, his pokemon still in his arms before heading over to reach his pack (and his pokegear). ]

Are you guys... supposed to want to evolve?

[ Squall eyes his starter warily just as the feed cuts ]

Some Pokemon prefer to remain in their unevolved forms. A member of my team purposefully withheld her own evolution for quite some time... but recently decided that she was ready.

But isn't the way to get stronger, is to have them evolve?

In some ways, yes... Though the Breeder's Manual does mention that unevolved Pokemon will learn more powerful attacks much sooner.

So... it's wiser to keep them unevolved if I want more power?

[A hesitation in this response. She's choosing her words carefully.]

I think it is best to cooperate with your Pokemon. True power can only be achieved through harmony between the two of you.

Harmony, huh? Yeah. Right.
