[Squid Girl's looking pretty proud of herself today.  Much squid.  Many tentacle.  Very self-satisfy.  Wow.]

Humans of Union!  A new era has dawned!  The Age of the Malamar!

[She'll just give that a moment to sink in.]

That's right - look and be amazed at my ink-credible evolution!

[She waves her tentacles around at the camera.  She looks... pretty much exactly the same as she did before.]

Hu hu hu... impressed, aren't you?  Well, I'm not done jet, because there's a new member of the inkvasion force to introduce, too!  This... is the Clam!

[Reaching down with two of her tentacles, she picks up a fishbowl with a Shellder inside.  It's wearing a tiny little sea captain's hat and also an eyepatch over one of its eyes, looking a bit like the charming fellow on the left.  It lets out a somewhat disturbing sounding little burbling laugh before gurgling its name a few times and laughing again.  Squid Girl blinks over at him, tilting her head and looking confused.]

...Huh?  You gilly want to flood the city?

[There's a short back and forth before she sets the fishbowl down again.]

W-well, anyway, the Clam is my new lieutenant, so everybody better treat him with the same respect you'd show me!  ...That is all!

I'm terrified.

[ Haruka doesn't sound it, though. ]

[moemoetentacles]

You should be!

[actsmagnificent]

[ She is seriously beginning to doubt you have adult supervision. ]

What's your invasion plan?

[kaidont]

... that's adorable.

[Oops that came out]

[video]

[moemoetentacles]

It's not! We're serious!

[kaidont]

Hey you can be serious and cute. Badassness isn't measured by your level of adorable.

[kaidont]

It's about your spirit.

[Gasp!]

You look so incredible! And Lieutenant Clam, too! Though, I hope I'm not speaking out of line, but... is it okay if any cities didn't get flooded...?

[moemoetentacles]

We'll consquider it, as long as you humans continue to respect the ocean!

[globetrotting]

Absolutely! It's too magnificent not to.

[willbethebest]

I didn't realize the humans were being invaded!

[moemoetentacles]

Well... not right now.

[willbethebest]

Oh. Darn.

[merameranomi]

Nice to meet you Lieutenant Clam!

[He just waves at the clam because why not?]

Also congratulations on your evolution!

[he's not entirely sure that's what happened, but it seems like the correct assumption]

[moemoetentacles]

[Burble burble says the Clam.]

Thanks! I knew it was only a matter of time.

[merameranomi]

Are you gonna flood the city any time soon? Since you have a Lieutenant now and all

[tagteams]

Congratulations, dear! I cannot wait to witness enemies being crushed by your tentacles!

[Yup, Mai-sensei is so proud even if she took Quinn's arms in a tight hold in her tentacles to post a message. God dammit Mai.]

Congrats.

[moemoetentacles]

Thanks so much for kelping me out!

[tagteams]

You're welcome. I'm glad we are able to help you out with your training.

And Clam is looking... pretty handsome with his little hat. [Is that even the right word???? Awkward but screw it, going with it.]

[thedivinevoice]

It seems many have opened a new chapter of their lives in recent days. Congratulations, Squid Girl.

But evolution is as much a boon as it is a challenge to progress to even greater heights. Keep up your training, now.

[moemoetentacles]

Of course! The only way to go from here is up!

[POINTING DRAMATICALLY TOWARD THE SKY]

[thedivinevoice]

...Yes, certainly.

[The day she regrows her wings will be a most beauteous day.]

...Er. Do you mean that literally? I fear I have never seen your people before.

Uh, good job, Squid Girl.

[It's probably more obvious when she's not Shifted, right?]

You were right about Namazu, by the way. Once she finally got the hang of tackling other Pokémon, she evolved in no time.

Video

[moemoetentacles]

Told you! She just needed a squiddle bit of encouragement.

Video

[celebrity_commentator]

Yeah. It's too bad I kind of have to keep her in the Habitats now, though. Even my parents don't own a place big enough to fit a 20 foot tall Pokémon.

[She thinks for a second.]

Say, where does Gary live?
