2nd Code [Video]

[eveolution]

[Eve turns on the video to show a Scyther that appears to have been through a barrage of electrical attacks. Although beaten, it still somehow appears full of pride. Maybe that has to do with the fact Eve has a fair number of scratches and scrapes.]

My search for a strong Pokémon has been successful. This is Palla, the newest addition to my allies.

[She reaches up to wipe at a scratch on her face, only seeming to actually smear blood across her cheek. Eve winces a bit, but it doesn't seem like a big deal to her.]

I also appear to be leaking, and I believe this is pain I am feeling. How do I make it stop?

Because you're alive?

[ ... Must be a steel type enlightened ]

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

That is an invalid argument. Moby and Remy are alive as well.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

Well yeah, but they aren't like...? Fleshy.

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

But they are still alive. So flesh and blood is not what determines life.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

Okay you got me. But most humans are flesh and blood.

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

Am I human? Or am I something else?

I haven't seen any others that are part metal like myself.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

Well, you're probably some kinda Steel type Enlightened. Look and count human enough to me.

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

Will I always be human?

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

If you're born a human, I don't see how you could stop being human.

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

So it's impossible?

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

As far as I know, yeah. Apparently Enlightened evolve over time and can take on traits which look more like pokemon, but you're still a human.

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

That is very...

[Give her just a moment. Eve needs to figure out the proper word for what she's experiencing.]

...disappointing? I think that's correct.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

...Disappointing?

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

I want to be more.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

...Huh?

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

I don't want to be just human.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

What's wrong with being human?

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

[She points at the scratch on her face.]

Humans are weak.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

Not they aren't.

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

This is proof of that, isn't it? This flesh isn't durable.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

Yeah, but it's not like pokemon don't bleed. Even the ones which don't can get knocked out just as much.

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

Some don't. Metal is still stronger than flesh.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

And metal's weak to a good kick.

[ fighting > steel

ok ok ]

[ Video ]

[eveolution]

I do not understand how that works, but I can take your word for it.

[ Video ]

[makeitquick]

Fighting beats steel. It's basic typing.
