[aniiue]

What? I told you I know how to use it already. I figured it out.

[The voice comes from off screen, no sign of this Warp Band's user yet. There is, however, a tiny Cleffa poking the image curiously.]

I figured you would, Chester, but I can't get mine to work yet...

[A second voice is close, sounding a lot less stuffy about the whole thing.]

[Finally, Chester lifts up his Warp Band from his Cleffa's little paws, aiming the screen at them both... or trying to... Cress's head is kind of half cut off.]

There, see? Just use mine while I figure yours out.

Oh! Yeah, okay. [Cress takes it, while Chester goes off screen again. He gives a sheepish smile.] This is all new to me... I even forgot what I was gonna say. ... Oh, yeah, Team Evolution!

[He looks away from the screen, presumably at Chester, for a moment. Then he smiles back at the "audience".]

The tournament was really cool while it lasted... right up to the end. I don't know how to feel about the whole Mega Evolution thing but, huh. I wonder what other Pokemon can do that?

[His Honedge reaches for the screen with his "hand," and Cress brushes him off.]

It'd be cool, wouldn't it? As long as it wasn't hurting the Pokemon, I guess...

[Chester tosses Cress's Warp Band back at him and takes his own off of the blond. He doesn't look happy.]

I don't care about that stuff. I'm just glad they're gone. [He pauses, and looks away.] I wish we knew where exactly they'd come from, though. We could go after them. If we needed to.

[Cress, in the background, looks a little worried, but ultimately just sighs and puts his Warp Band back around his wrist.]

{ooc: This is a dual intro for Chester (aniiue) and Cress (90sbangs)! Either we'll both respond, or say who you want in the header of your reply!]

[90sbangs]

[Cress observes his wrap band before putting it back on as well, apparently, it's fixed.] I'm not saying they seemed all the trustworthy, but the mega evolution was amazing.

The pokemon seemed to be enjoying itself too.. so it's not like they are feeling pain, or I don't think.. [He glances over to his honedge, the creature staring him down as usual. Cress makes a face at him, only for the sword to lean in closer. It's understandable how people feel so uneasy around ghost-types but Cress has been around it for years... Don't make him yank your sheath you crazy hunk of steel -- behave.] Just think if Gungnir could mega evolve.

[aniiue]

He'd probably turn into an even bigger sword.

[Chester leans back on the wall beside his bed, sighing.]

And your Magikarp would be an even bigger fish. That seems like the theme there.

[90sbangs]

I don't think Gungnir has much of a chance to be honest. I know too much about honedges.. they don't mega evolve.. [Cress has nasty memories of being possesed by honedges, not mega evos.]

--but maybe Vorpal has some hope.

{How dare thee say such treason!!} [The honedge puffs, poking Cress lightly.]

[aniiue]

I don't care if mine do or not.

[He doesn't really have big plans for any of his Pokemon. He doesn't even know how he ended up with double the amount that Cress has already either. Well, nearly that. He's not really counting Apple as his yet. Not when the Cleffa still curled up with Ami's blankie to sleep every night.]

[Yanma buzzes down at them from the ceiling lamp, not really getting their conversation. The world may have strange secrets in store for the little Bug Type still.]

Even if Vorpal got a Mega Evolution he'd still probably just flop around all over the place.

[90sbangs]

Vorpal has lots of potential, I think. [Course, Cress doesn't know much about water pokemon seeing that he's always kind of fried them before he had more control over his electrical abilities.] I wonder if he even evolves..? I think they do.. It's just rare and difficult.

[aniiue]

We could go look it up, I guess. Not much else to do considering you're a Sword, after all.

[He's... teasing Cress again. That's a good sign, right?]

[90sbangs]

Hey, just because I'm in the Swords doesn't mean I don't mind an adventure here and there. [Cress playfully argues right back, it's nice to see a joke come from Chester's mouth even if it's directed at him..]

I'm almost positive they evolve.

[aniiue]

Going to the Shrine and fishing isn't really an adventure.

[He leans to poke at the Magikarp flopping around on their shared bedroom floor helplessly.]

Shouldn't we put it in water or something?

[90sbangs]

Yeah, I think he'd like a bath. [That's a joke, get it? He'd like to take a bath? Whatever, don't laugh, but Cress is going to start running the water.]

He was caught in cold river water so that's what I'll temp it at.

[ember_celica]

[Yang grins at the screen, bright and pleased. There's a bit of hesitation hiding behind that smile, though. She's not sure about Team Evolution, in the end. It's hard to be 100% cheery. Even if these guys seem all right.]

I'm not sure how it works. But I'd like to chase after them myself. They're from past the mountains, if I remember right.

[90sbangs]

Hey, yeah! [Cress speaks up, this is his topic after all.] Isn't that were they had those machines?

[ember_celica]

In the caves nearby, yeah. I never saw them myself though.

[90sbangs]

Neither did I... guess that's one thing the Rangers could be doing [Sometimes he regrets not going into the Rangers like Chester, but the Swords keep him closer to home.] -- Investigating, you know..

[ember_celica]

Yeah. Not that it should stop you, right? If you wanna know, you gotta go out and learn for yourself, sometimes.

[90sbangs]

You're right. [A smile, sometimes contently hearing Chester remind him he can't go adventuring all the time makes him feel like he couldn't go period.] I'll have to check it out some time, should get out more myself.

Train my Pokemon too! I hope to bond with even more Pokemon.. are you a trainer? --Or, I guess they don't call them that anymore.

[ember_celica]

Sure am. I've got a team. I'm an Enlightened, though, and I like to fight next to them when it comes to that!

[90sbangs]

I'm Enlightened but only recently did I awaken. Currently, it's just a hindrance more so, don't know any moves myself. I hope to fight by my two someday as well.

[ember_celica]

That's why you gotta train! I awakened when I was younger, so I guess I had an advantage there.

[aniiue]

"Passed the mountains," isn't that specific. We don't know how far the land goes out passed it, you know. The whole world is out there.

[ember_celica]

[She winks. It's definitely a little sassy.]

We have it narrowed to one of four directions, then, chief!

[aniiue]

You could walk for days passed the mountains! Or months, or even years!

[ember_celica]

And at some point you'd arrive at the Casa de TeVo!

[aniiue]

... TeVo? What does that mean?

[ember_celica]

It's short for Team Evolution!

[aniiue]

Oh.

Yeah, eventually we'd find them. I'm not sure what I want to say to them, though...
