Action/Video - all week on the Tropical Island

[somnambulatory]

Um... if anyone needs me this week, I'll be training on the island. I'm taking Dokuro with me, so don't worry. I'll check in every once in a while so people know I'm safe.

[Action/Video; Tropical Island; all week]

[Jinxie's been doing a pretty good job with adventuring and bonding with lots of different Pokemon, but she's met a lot of people who are pretty personally capable even without their Pokemon around, and sometimes it makes her feel like she's lacking something. She isn't strong like Melaka, she isn't in the Rangers like Quinn, she's not a shifter like Ran, she's not a noble like Asemu or Lux, and she was born into a branch family so she doesn't have channeling powers like her cousin Maya.

So what can Jinxie Tenma do that's special?

That's what she's here to find out. Anyone adventuring around on the island at any point during the current week will find Jinxie there, sitting on a rock in a purple one-piece swimsuit with her legs crossed, meditating under a waterfall. She'd always heard that the old mystics used to do this kind of thing to find spiritual enlightenment, and as someone with the Ghost and Psychic types who specializes in charms, it seemed as good an idea as anything else.

Only her Duskull, Dokuro, is with Jinxie while she's out here - and only for protection in case any wild Pokemon should happen to draw too near. Jinxie wants to do this on her own this time, to prove that she's capable of it. For once, Dokuro isn't teasing her or interrupting her while she tries to concentrate, seeming to sense how serious she is about this. She does take periodic breaks to eat, sleep, and check in with everyone through the Warp Band's network, though, so it's possible to talk to her to find out what the heck she's doing.]

[And anyone present at the end of the week or watching the feed coming from Jinxie's Warp Band will witness something miraculous happen. As Jinxie's meditation draws to a close near the sunset of the last day, the familiar light associated with a Pokemon's evolution begins to shine out from underneath the charm she usually wears on her forehead. Jinxie herself doesn't even notice until the light has burst brilliantly forth and faded once again. The charm peels off and drifts away in the breeze, revealing a glowing brand in the shape of the symbol normally painted on the charm. And when Jinxie opens her eyes, the irises are red like her Duskull.]

Dokuro...? Wh-what happened? I feel... different.

[The little Duskull seems as pleased as anything, floating down excitedly, its skull mask twisted into the equivalent of a smile as it circles around her head. Jinxie holds up one of her charms, which is now glowing with the same soft light.  In a burst of excitement, she jumps up and runs over to where she had her Warp Band sitting on a nearby rock.]

W-was that recording...?  Did you all see?  I did it!  I really did it!

What... exactly did you just do?

Was there a reason you were sitting under a waterfall?

[Maya's tried not to worry, she really has. But two days in, she's starting to wonder why she hasn't been checked in with yet.

...Jinxie's okay, right?

Time for a call.]

Hey, um, are youuuu sure you don't want me to come along?

[Still holding her new eevee in her arms, Maya seems to be lingering toward the door. She's anty, and feels far too much like she's not doing anything.]

[Eu's video feed comes in kind of grainy, but that's something on her end. She's seen Pokémon evolve before, so she knows what just occurred. She remembers Jinxie well. Her first...friend she'd made. Or she'd like to call her friend, at least. While she does feel happy for the other girl, Eu fears what may happen when she evolves herself. She hesitates a moment for a moment before she jots down a note.]

Congratulations.
