[Robin appears on the feed with an Eevee perched on his shoulder, its tail lazily swishing around.]

So I was wondering if anybody might be available to help me. I've been in search of a Thunderstone to help this little one evolve. I don't have much but I am happy to pay, either with money or assistance with academic or strategic endeavors.

Tch-! Don't you already have an Eevee? [Remembering the Espeon from before...] I evolved mine into a Vaporeon using a waterstone. What do you get with a Thunderstone?

[He pauses.. before pulling out two stones from his bag.] What about these? Are they Thunderstones? Not that I'm offering...

[.....]

[master_tactician]

Those appear to be firestones, but it's a bit hard to tell over the camera. They yield Flareon.

[As he says this, a Flareon jumps up on his shoulder as the Eevee already sitting there yips in protest and jumps down]

Bolganone that's rude!

[Bolganone doesn't seem to care as it settles down around his shoulders and goes to sleep. Robin seems very used to this]

Anyway, as I understand a Thunderstone will yield an Electric Pokemon and I would definitely like to see if it will work.

[albertstyle]

Oh, Luke has one of those... [So that's what his stone must have looked like. Asch remembers picking between the types, Eevee's could become all kinds of things. Originally he wanted Umbreon but Luke had evolved his so quickly and Asch wasn't about to keep an Eevee while his brother had and evolved Pokemon... Thus, Vaporeon.]

Fire Stones make sense, they have little flames on them. [Looking more obvious by the second, damn, that was a stupid question. UGH--] Yeah, that's what I was told too but I don't know what it's supposed to look like-- the Eevee, I mean.

I had wanted an Umbreon... [Hump!]

[master_tactician]

[When Asche mentions Umbreon, as if on cue an Umbreon jumps onto Robin's shoulder. Unfortunately, there's only room for one on the top, and the two immediately scuffle before falling off]

Hey knock it off you two!

Well, as you can see, I have an Umbreon as well. Once they're friendly with you, if you train them during the night they'll evolve into an Umbreon.

hi void wow I'm late

[albertstyle]

[Hump-!]

Y-Yeah, I know! Like I said, I had wanted and Umbreon but... didn't work out that way. So, whatever.

[He could have an Umbreon if it hadn't been for his asshole brother! Evolving his Pokmeon so quickly, what an ass...] ... How many Eevee do you have?!

totally fine <3

[master_tactician]

Just eight.

[albertstyle]

EIGHT

[OH, COME ON!]

Are you a breeder or something?

[.... And you're living with Cordelia, huh?]

[master_tactician]

No, I just like Eevee. It's such a versatile Pokemon.

versatile move pool, tip the scales!

[albertstyle]

I guess... my father gave my brother and I our Eevee's-- got them from a breeder. Apparently, you can get rather wealthy breeding Eevee's for that very reason, because they become all kinda of different Pokemon.

[master_tactician]

I imagine so! I couldn't pick just one!

[realmenknitplushies]

Thunderstone, huh? Well, I ain't got one yet but I brought a ton'f the crystals back with me last time I was over in the caves. Ain't actually tried to make an evolution stone before, but it's somethin' I've been meaning to try...

[master_tactician]

If you wouldn't mind I would much appreciate it.

[realmenknitplushies]

No problem. I've got a Pikachu, anyway: I'm gonna need one for when it's ready.

[master_tactician]

Thank you! Is there something you're looking for in return?

[realmenknitplushies]

Dunno. What can ya help out with?

[master_tactician]

I've mainly been tutoring and assisting the Rangers with operations strategies.

[realmenknitplushies]

Huh.

Y'know, I could ... probably use a tutor. I've been missin' a lotta classes when I've been training [and for other reasons not specified] and it's starting to catch up to me.

[master_tactician]

Well, in that case I'd be happy to lend my hand in helping you catch up.

[realmenknitplushies]

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

[master_tactician]

What subjects in particular are you struggling with or did you want to work on? That will help me prepare a curriculum.

[realmenknitplushies]

It's mostly things like math 'n all of that? Things that need a lot of step by step working out. I can never get the order right.

[master_tactician]

Numbers are my specialty, I think I can help you quite a bit.

[realmenknitplushies]

Damn. That'd be great, man.
