[Pamela looks quite different on this warp band broadcast. Her eyes are much lighter, she's lost the glasses, and her skin's quite pale - it's almost white with a slight greenish hue. Her hair even grew a few inches. In fact, someone who didn't know her well probably wouldn't recognize her until she starts speaking.]

'Tis the season to evolve, it seems. I'm going to need a mostly new wardrobe - at least for the things I can't just have altered. I'd welcome some company.

[Her Roselia nudges her shoulder insistently and pipes up. Those who understand Pokemon will hear him saying "The party, Pamela! You promised!" Pamela sighs a bit but smiles shortly afterward.]

Yes, Basil, I won't forget. My family is insisting that I have a big party for my birthday this year. It's a month from now and I'm extending a formal invitation to everyone. Please RSVP with at least five days' notice if you'll be coming for dinner. Otherwise, there will be a buffet.

[Basil nods approvingly and Pamela disconnects the video feed.]

[Action - Out in a clearing in the Verdant Forest near Union's walls]

[She'd thought about asking, but in the end decided to see what she could do on her own with the Leaf element enhanced sword she'd been given for her part in aiding Caldera.

It's quite apparent that she's a beginner. She's got a basic grasp of "aim the pointy end at the opponent" and her footwork isn't awful solely because she knows how to dance. There's some grace to her movements. Just not much skill. Anyone who knows what they're doing could disarm her very quickly.

Her Gloom, a baby Oddish, her Roselia, a baby Scyther and her Venusaur are sitting back and watching her with some mild amusement. Sage the Venusaur lets out a little warning growl when he hears someone approaching. Pamela stops what she's doing and glances in the direction Sage is indicating.]

Oh, hello.

(ooc note: With Pamela's 1st evolution comes pheromone powers. They aren't very powerful yet and have a short range of approximately 3 feet or so. She's currently unaware that she has them. If you want to embarrass your character a little, please feel free to have an awkward moment. Otherwise, please feel free to comment on that perfume that suits her so well)

I'll have to take some time to learn about them before I can say for sure what I'm capable of now.

[Great idea, Hans. She can ~~avenge crimes against nature~~ protect Union with such abilities.]

Their strength and determination are nothing to bark at. But surely we could extend the olive branch.

Let me know when you do. I'd love to see what you're capable of.

[ Gigas is all about crimes against nature, boy it's a good thing Union falls more on the hippy side of things, huh? ]

Yes, but would they accept? Or would they send us back, like a leaf on the wind?

[ He laughs. ]

These are getting harder to come up with.

Well, I can show you after some trial and error. I'm bound to have a few failures I'd rather only my pokemon witness before I manage to do anything worthwhile.

[Pamela Isley: the one person who could tell Gigas forces "Get off my lawn" and actually make it legitimately threatening. Their technology is interesting, although she does have to wonder how much damage it does to the environment. But that's just one more reason to dislike them on top of the already long list.

She chuckles.]

Well, you're a peach for keeping them up for this long.

Naturally. I look forward to it! ...Once you've perfected those abilities, of course.

[ Somehow, I doubt Gigas is too set on being eco-friendly. ]

I do my best. Some of these are beyond be-leaf.

[ Okay, he can't help himself. ]

That was bad.

It should be an interesting experiment, in any case.

[Then Gigas can PREPARE FOR TROUBLE.]

Yes it was. Seems like we're two peas in a pod when it comes to making plant puns.

[The pun battle rages on.]

Union will be better for it, with your powers on our side.

[ CRUSH THEM WITH PLANTS...!! ]

It's certainly good practice. Now that you've evolved, I imagine they opportunities to use them will be popping up like daisies.

I have to admit, it would be a little satisfying to slap a few people from Gigas with tree branches.

[Just wait until her 2nd evolution when she can grow a tree in seconds. Then the crushings will truly begin.]

I could be a budding comedian in addition to my research career.
