[The feed starts underwater. Hey did someone drop their warp band into a fountain? Nope. A shiny Feebas carrying a pouch around its neck can be seen. She has an audience with a school of other Feebas. Whoever is holding the warp band comes in a bit closer to be in hearing range.

There's a hush amongst the Feebas as the shiny one opens the pouch to reveal a fancy looking scale which she touches. She glows in a bright light and her shape morphs into a longer serpentine like form. Once the light fades, a shiny Milotic is in her place. Most of the school swim away in fear but three rather elderly Feebas with grim looks on their faces remain. Any Enlightened who can understand pokemon language are able to listen in on their conversation.]

"Nami, what have you done?"

[Nami twirls around with a smile on her face.]

"It's simple! I evolved! I found out on the surface we can do it with a special scale! I feel so much stronger now. I was thinking maybe instead of the relic, I can protect the clan myself."

"No. This is unacceptable. We had much hope that you would've found the relic by now. Instead you went ahead and well just look at yourself! You just saw the rest of our clan react. You look nothing like us now and this new form of yours will only bring more trouble. I am sorry, Nami, but you must be banished. Do not come back to look for us again."

"Elders, please if you just reconsider...!"

[Her pleas fall on deaf ears as the trio swim away. Rather than chase after them, she swims off in the opposite direction towards the shore as the feed cuts off.]

[Up on the beach, Flare the Magby and Swift the Murkrow watch over a poke-egg as they wait for Nami and Squirt to come back. Sure enough, the two return. The poliwag shakes his head and the Flare and Swift could put two and two together. From the waist up, she changed back into her human form but let the Milotic tail stay in place. She doesn't say a word and just lies down by the water's edge to sob.]

[audio] He's back.

[There's the sound of moderately heavy breathing and if you listen closely, you may hear some sounds relating to what an Eevee makes. The unseen speaker makes an annoyed look at the Eevee before even talking.]

Carmen, I'm fine. The doctors and healers gave me and you a clean bill of health.

*Speaks towards the other Trainers* Hello every one. For those who don't know me, my name is Chris Ramirez. I'm a Delver. Myself and my Pokémon partner Carmen (she's an Eevee) were a part of a somewhat large expedition into the mountains and I was wondering if it was successful. It happened somewhere about seven months ago. The pair of us got attacked by a herd of Aron, which took us by surprise. Afterwards, we apparently were recovering in the Forest Shrine for quite some time.

One last thing, if anyone needs the services of myself and Carmen please do not hesitate to ask. We are... I guess anxious to begin again. I'm in Union at the moment.

So, a question for you all, good people of Union, Caldera, and most recently the Citadel. I've been noticing the trend of Enlightened and even normal trainers hold a certain typing affinity. In Enlightened, of course, it is their own typing but trainers who might otherwise be considered ordinary have their own specializations as well. So, when crafting a team, what is the strategy? Do you create a team solely of the typing you specialize in? Do you branch out to cover the types you do not possess? I am quite interested in hearing your opinions!
