 Um... excuse me, everyone... I hate to be bothering you again, but... I need some advice. Again. 

You see, three of my Pokemon friends are at the point where they could evolve, but... I'm not sure if I should do it all at once. I know that sometimes that a Pokemon's personality can change when they evolve, and if all three of them turned against me at once, i couldn't handle that. So... would you mind helping me choose? ... I'm sure I can evolve the others later, when I've got a better handle on things... Anyway...

[She waves to someone off screen. Time for the intros! First is a Dusclops, who waves cheerfully.]

This is Crux... I've known him the longest, and he is the most loyal. He needs to be traded while holding a Reaper Cloth. And maybe his cursed talisman powers will grow too...

[Then, she scoops down to pick up a Murkrow, who snootily holds her beak up.]

This is Destiny... She likes to play pranks, but she's very nice when you get to know her. She needs a Dusk Stone. But what if her pranks get bigger when she does...?

[Murkrow huffs, and hops onto Noire's shoulder. So Noire bends down to pick up the last one, a Snowrunt.]

And lastly, this is Tarot. She's kind of snobbish and stubborn, but knows when enough is enough.She needs a Dawn Stone. But she's been demanding to evolve since we first met...

So... w-what do you think?

I've had a couple of my Pokemon evolve, and they've not changed that much. Especially not in how much the love me. And that's the important thing, isn't it?

[She pauses, obviously seriously considering the question]

I guess if only one of the three can evolve, I'd say Tarot. I mean if she's been wanting to evolve, it seems only right to let her, y'know? I'm sure it'll work out!

[blood_and_thunder]

[As in agreement of 'she's right, WE LOVE YOU', all of the Pokemon squeeze Noire - which makes her yelp and fall over, because they are kinda heavy. She scrambles to sit up, trying to focus on the video again.]

S-sorry about that... Um... I guess it would be nice to reward Tarot for her patience...

[pinkrabbit]

[Chibiusa covers a giggle]

And then you'll see she'll still love you and everything!

[blood_and_thunder]

That's one vote for Tarot, then...

[Delighted, the Snorunt tries to kiss the warp band - causing it to freeze up and make the screen kind of blurry. Noire yelps again, trying to rub the ice off.]

Aaah, no! Please don't break!

[realmenknitplushies]

[Evolution. Well, there's a tricky topic in Kanji's eyes. But he scratches the point of one of his ears as he asks-]

Do the first two want to? Have they asked ya?

[blood_and_thunder]

Oh, of course! I would never do anything they didn't want to...

[realmenknitplushies]

[He sighs.] That's cool. It's just kinda ... a big moment. Lot of pressure 'n all that.

[blood_and_thunder]

[Have a sigh right back.]

I'll say. I want to do right by them, after all they've done for me.

[Oh hey! It's Luvdisc girl!]

You need help, huh? Well, the first question is do you have easy access to the evolution stones?

[Video]

[blood_and_thunder]

[her legacy lives on.]

Well... I tried not to let that be a factor. I want to do whatever it takes to help my friends, and money and time and effort... none of that matters, if it means they'll be happy.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

I understand that. But if money is tight, I can help Crux out easily enough. I...um...have a bit of a trick, and you wouldn't need the item.

That being said? I'd go with the Pokemon that you think is the most loyal. They're the least likely to cause you trouble in the long run.

[blood_and_thunder]

A trick...? ... N-no, no, I couldn't take advantage of such kindness, it would be too much.

Video

[bleeding_heart]

...Do you have any of the things they need to evolve yet?

Video

[blood_and_thunder]

No... I thought I'd get them once I made a decision.

Video

[bleeding_heart]

I have a Dusk Stone I'm not using, if you'd like to give it to Destiny.

Video

[blood_and_thunder]

O-Oh, I couldn't just take it from you!

[cutiepanther]

Do you really think they will suddenly turn on you?

[ Maki had never really thought of that, but she hasn't had her Pokemon evolve yet either. ]

I don't really know what will happen...but if you need someone to help I know a few people who are good with that kind of thing..

[blood_and_thunder]

I've heard it happen to other people... I trust my Pokemon with all my heart, but bad luck follows me everywhere.

[cutiepanther]

It won't be that bad, your Pokemon really care about you, from what I remember.

[roadsprings]

Hm. I'd say it's a tricky one, and no mistake. If it were me, I suppose that I'd maybe go with Tarot or Crux? Of course, I don't really know your Pokémon.

[blood_and_thunder]

That's fine... I appreciate everyone's input.

[Crux shrugs it off, but Tarot is wiggling in sheer glee.]

[roadsprings]

[ he smiles wryly at the antics in the background. ]

Well, Tarot certainly looks more than pleased with the idea. You - you said she's been asking for it since you first met?

Video

[celebrity_commentator]

Hey, now, they're not going to turn on you.

[As suspicious as those gosh-darn Dark types are.]

Not if you're Bonded, I mean.

Video

[blood_and_thunder]

B-But I've heard some scary stories about Pokemon that turn on their trainers after evolution!

[celebrity_commentator]

You just have to be firm and loving. Besides, Pokémon usually get more mature, and it sounds like the only problem these guys have is being a little childish.
