 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!

[pinkrabbit]

[Chibiusa can't help laughing again]

Aw, she seems sweet!

[blood_and_thunder]

[Tarot's ego +1000000, while Murkrow glares, and Dusclops just stays cool, bro.]

S-she can be, yes... I found her in the mountains... she looked lonely, and I thought maybe I could find some talent with an Ice Pokemon...

[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.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Nodding-]

You've got the right idea, then. I'd say it's between Crux 'n Tarot: if he's been workin' with ya longest, but she's been up for it longest...

[blood_and_thunder]

Well, someone also suggested Tarot... so I guess she has two votes, now.

[Snowrunt grins, HAHAHA I RULE. Murkrow rolls her eyes. Dusclops shrugs. Happy family.]

[realmenknitplushies]

That's cool. You said she wanted to since before ya met?

[blood_and_thunder]

[Nod-nod.]

... She wants to be tall.

[realmenknitplushies]

[He can't help but snort a bit.]

Eh, there's worse reasons.

[blood_and_thunder]

[That reaction actually softens her up a little.]

... I can't blame her. If I was that size, I'd want to be a little bigger.

[realmenknitplushies]

Guess the world's pretty scary from down there, huh.

[blood_and_thunder]

That's why when I go places with her, I always carry her in my arms.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Grinning a bit-] Heh, that's cute. Gonna take gettin' used to the change, right?

[blood_and_thunder]

Not entirely... Sometimes I like to carry Destiny around, even though she can fly. But her feathers are nice and warm.

[Cue Murkrow grinning, and having a glaring contest with Snowrunt.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[Awwwww.] Soft too, I bet. ...I, uh, I mean... [Cough.]

[blood_and_thunder]

Oh yes, very -

[Murkrow jumps down, and tries to wedge herself in Noire's arms and kick Snowrunt out. But Snowrunt isn't taking this laying down, and the two begin to fight in her arms.]

H-Hey! Stop it! That's not nice! I-I'm gunna fall...!

[realmenknitplushies]

Whoa - whoa, you two - ch-chill out! Damn...

[Cue some rather worried staring at the screen.]

1/2

[blood_and_thunder]

[Noire keeps begging them to stop, but they bite and claw and scratch. Dusclops seems to sigh.]

P-Please, don't, it hurts...

[Dusclops comes over, and places his hand on her shoulder-]

2/2

[blood_and_thunder]

BOTH OF YOU STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS AT INSTANCE, OR YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE PRECIOUS STONES YOU SEEK!

[And they both stop in place, slowly looking up at her. Dusclops regards this as if it's perfectly normal.]
