 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 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.

[blood_and_thunder]

[And to prove it, all three lean on her, almost making her lose her balance.]

... I-I guess so, thank you...

[cutiepanther]

[ Maki actually just smiles at that. She's come to learn that bonding with Pokemon can be rewarding. ]

But really if you need help you only have to ask..

[blood_and_thunder]

Well... what's your opinion?

[cutiepanther]

My opinion? I think you can do it.

[blood_and_thunder]

R-really...?

[cutiepanther]

If you need any help I can bring my friend. She's really good with this kind of thing.

[blood_and_thunder]

Good at making tough choices?

[cutiepanther]

Well, no she's bad at that. But she knows Pokemon better than anyone.

[blood_and_thunder]

Oh, well, I guess that's just as good.

[cutiepanther]

[ Did she say something wrong? Now Maki is all worried. ]

M-Maybe you should just do one at a time then? To see how it goes?

[blood_and_thunder]

But that's just it! I don't know which one should go first!

[cutiepanther]

What about going by age? Or whoever you had longest?

[blood_and_thunder]

That would be... Crux. I've had him for so long, I can barely remember life without him.

[cutiepanther]

But you have to trade him?

[ Maki looks over to her two pokemon, her only two in the world, and thinks about it. ]

...I don't know how I would feel trading one away, even temporarily.

[blood_and_thunder]

Yes... and I do need him. He's my special talisman.

[cutiepanther]

Oh, right.

[ She remembered that about Noire. ]

W-Well...if you don't have anyone else I guess I could help. Skiddo seems fine with the idea..

[blood_and_thunder]

Oh, how is Skiddo doing?

[cutiepanther]

He's doing a lot better now. I let him run around outside the city once a week or so and it keeps him a lot more calm. Thanks.

[ Maki smiles a little at the fact that Noire remembered. ]

[blood_and_thunder]

I guess all it needed was a bit of time and space.

[cutiepanther]

Yeah you're right. You were a lot of help though.

[blood_and_thunder]

Oh, I didn't do much of anything...

[Except go crazy for a few seconds, but don't we all?]

[cutiepanther]

That's not true at all. You need more confidence in yourself.

[blood_and_thunder]

... Th-thank you.
