[Oh look, it's everyone's favorite earnest, well-meaning, kind-to-all-living-creatures blond kiddo, just chilling in the park with his Pokemon buddies...

...including the absolutely enormous Steelix who's dozing and giving out gravelly snores. In fact, Armin and his little Pokemon friends -- including Nim the Mareep baby and the just-recently-hatched Espurr baby who insists on being held at all moments -- are sitting on top of Gertrude-the-Steelix's head. So anyone trying to approach...best tread lightly.

Armin is clearly in a mood.]

[Not so much that he doesn't turn on his Warp Band and ask, shortly, with one of the most grim expressions he's ever worn:] Is anyone signing up for this Tournament?

[...the creepycute baby Espurr sort of ruins his brooding aura, tbh.]

Ah, yes, that's a valid concern. Perhaps they'll come with some degree of flexibility, though I suppose that's directly correlated to your current level, of course...has anyone ever examined your current wings?

[And, judging by the sliiiiightly-too-interested look, do you need someone to?]

[sturzflug]

N-not... really? I mean, I have 'em looked at every time I go in for a checkup like anyone else, but I dunno if they've been specifically examined or whatever...

[tinytactician]

It could be useful. Perhaps there are clues within their structure as to the ultimate evolved form.

[sturzflug]

I feel like I'd know if there was.... I mean some pokemon don't even evolve, so it's not like I can say for sure.
