3rd Code [Video]

[These past few weeks, Eve has been training, and training hard. And it's finally paid off. When she appears on the video feed, she looks several years older than she did before, not to mention looking more confident. She may still not have a complete grasp on emotions, but that took a seat behind her newfound strength.]

This...is this evolution? I feel stronger. Much stronger.

[She pauses for a moment, thinking of what she should say next.]

I need to test my strength. I require a partner with enough power to rival my own.

[She'd be very pleased if there aren't any, but if there are, they would make an excellent test to prove her strength to herself. To see if this is truly the height of what she can achieve.]

That's some pretty cool robot shit.

I suppose. It's the strength I am interested in, although the aesthetics are not lost on me.

Well, good luck finding a training partner. Pretty sure you'd just shred me in half.

Are you frightened?

Not unless you're actually planning to. If you are, yeah, I'd probably shit my pants.

Unless you are an opponent worth testing my skills against, there is no reason to.

Yeah, not so much.

I see. You are not an...'Enlightened'?

I am, I'm just not much of a fighter.

...what use is power if you do not use it?

I'm an Analyst. It's not exactly a power for direct combat. I've got Psychic attacks, I guess, but that's a whole other mess.

I believe I am an Analyst as well.

[She can tell the types and weaknesses after just a moment's glance. And very probably their bioelectrical signatures.]

Yet I can still fight.

Your circumstances are just a little bit different from mine, though. And by a little, I mean a lot. And by a lot, I mean I don't have cybernetic enhancements.

Perhaps you should.

They don't exactly pass those out in the streets.

It could happen one day.

Well, when it happens to me, maybe then we'll beat the shit out of each other with our robot arms. Until then, I'll let my Pokemon handle the fighting.

I expect my Pokémon to be as capable as myself.

How's that working out?

Quite well, so far.

Good for you guys, then.

It is good. I would have to double our efforts, otherwise.

Right.
