[action | verdant forest | between early morning to the afternoon]

[ Besides doing keeping in touch with Rangers for work, Quinn has been fairly focused and quiet lately, as she finally took up some serious training sessions weeks ago. Exercises, running all over the forest, climbing trees and jumping from one to another, friendly sparring with her Pokémon, just anything to make her stronger. Fellow Rangers, Trainers, or even Pokémon can find her in various spots of the forest.

Or even in certain spots where she's wrestling a Malamar (with consent, mind you) as part of friendly sparring with her Rufflet and Raichu, who is also on Warp Band watching duty, watching from the sidelines. Yeah...]

[accidental video | verdant forest | afternoon-ish]

[During one of those training fights against her Malamar, Jasper has been playing with the video feature, so it started as a feed of grass. Inspirational video of the year, everyone. Grass.

Still watching? The video does move to the training session between man and Pokèmon, a practice battle of two partners working together to improve not only their skills, but the bond between them. Mostly physical based attacking, Mai's tentacles lashing like whips while Quinn deflects with her arms and dodges with good timing. It goes on for a while until Quinn drops on her knees all of a sudden and the Malamar just laughs at her trainer while the Rufflet flies over to investigate. Jasper is still recording from his spot under a tree, not too far from the scene.]

Mala~! (Ohoho~! Victorious in this round!)

W-Wait a second, Mai. I feel weird all of a sudden...

Ruu! (Shut up, you witch! We agreed on no Psychic attacks because you have the type advantage against Quinn!)

Marrr! (Silence! I did no such thing!)

Rufffffffffffffflet! (Yes you did! She was fine a few seconds ago and she's on the ground! Clearly you did something!)

Mar? Mala! (You dare of accuse me for attempting to kill my own trainer? I shall rip that itty, bitty tongue out of your beak!)

Rai! Raichu! (Quinn! Guys, look!)

Ruuuu-?! (Why you ignorant b- Quinn?!)

[During that argument, A familiar light wraps around Quinn's arms like vines, even strings of light crawling up her face. Are her eyes glowing too? Hard to tell from the video. With Jasper throwing the Warp Band on to the ground to rush over, the feed ends with that burst of light both Pokémon and Enlightened are familiar with. Light and... feathers?

If someone replies to the Warp Band, one of the three Pokémon will most likely reply to it rather than Quinn.]

[voice | evening]

[several hours later after that accidental video, an exhausted voice speaks. Someone that hasn't spoke on the network in a while.]

I'm not so sure what anyone saw of... that. But, rest assure that I am fine. Just still a little tired.

I want to ask fellow Flying type Enlightened on how they deal with their wings, if they have any, and their clothing. Or dealing with wings in general. Better start asking before I wreck my wardrobe.

Wings...? Did you evolve, Quinn?

I did. I've been focusing on training my team for weeks and I ended up evolving instead.

[No inventor can spend all of his time cooped up in his lab. Therefore, Jayce has taken to going on walks outside, close enough to Union's gate that he can quickly return should the need arise. For the most part, his walks are uneventful, but today is different.

Today Jayce spots one of the rangers tussling with her Malamar. Curious, he stops to watch for a few moments. He'll remain silent for now, so as not to interrupt their concentration.]

Congratulations. I just evolved a few weeks ago myself.

Thanks. I didn't expect evolution could actually be exhausting.

I'm alright now, I just still trying to adjust to it.

[The two are pretty focused in their training. Mai is the tallest of her team so she's perfect for things like this when the others are too small or short. Quinn and the Malamar continued on, unaware that there is someone watching.

Valor, however, notices the man when he looked around him. What is with this guy watching? Suspicious? Kind of. Planning something? Just watching? Who knows, but the Rufflet does fly from his spot over to Jayce to figure it out.]

Ruf?

It's exhausting and thrilling all at once. That's how it was for me, anyway.

I can say the same. Took me by surprise as it happened in the middle of training. Like thousands of needles were poking my arms before that light appeared.

Now... Just need to get use to these wings.

[Jayce just smiles and nods at the Rufflet. It's pretty apparent that he's checking him out.]

It's all right. I'm simply out on a walk, nothing more. I couldn't do anything if I tried, see?

[He holds out his hands. He's got nothing in them.]

What do your wings look like? Can I see?

Oh, sure. Give me a second.

[The video takes a few seconds to start up and form a clear picture. With Jasper holding her Warp Band, the video does show Quinn sitting on her bed, holding an arm out. It's still looks like a human's with muscle and all due to her Fighting typing, but under her arm from the wrist to the armpit is a fully grown wing. The size is pretty large enough to balance with Quinn's body size.

There is also some other noticeable changes on Quinn. The skin on her hand looks roughen with sharp nails, like a bird's talon. Her gaze is looking more sharper than usual.]

What do you think, Jinxie?

[Thanks for making a landing pad, Jayce. Valor just lands in those hands, puffing his chest out.]

Rufflet!

[While he believes in Jayce, Valor is just watching out for his trainer so no funny business. He's little, but he can kick some asses and he know he can.]

Oh!

[Well, at first she looks surprised.]

I thought they'd be growing out of your back at first. But you look really cool like this too.

Lots of people growing wings, lately.

I thought that would be the case too if I ever grow them, but seems like I was wrong. It's strange, but I'm learning.

Downside is I need to figure out how to make my long sleeved shirts work. Or don't wear them ever again.

Well... maybe the feathers will keep you warm.

[Okay, Jayce hadn't been expecting that, of all things. After staring at the Rufflet for a moment, he bursts out laughing.]

You're a real work, you know that?

With a lot of people evolving recently, I guess so.

Maybe. I never worked well with the cold in the first place, but I'll think of something.

Lot of that going around, yeah. So... did anything else change? Or just wings?

I'm not Flying-type and I don't have wings, but I think that the easiest thing to do would be to not wear a shirt. You could probably get a cloak for when it's cold out.

[Yes he knows that you're a girl and no the obvious objection to that idea never crossed his mind.]

[If Quinn's senses are honed enough, she might be able to detect the presence of someone stalking her from the shadows.

Absol is prowling in the forest- hunting, training and familiarising herself with the surroundings- and Quinn's exercises have caught her interest. There may be a good fight to have here...]

Good luck. I'm sure everything will work out.

[Jinxie's own evolution changes are apparent on her end, too - red irises and a tattoo of the symbol on her charm in place of the one she usually wears on her forehead.]

Well. I feel much stronger physically, but that's a little obvious for everyone. [A laugh.]

My vision also improved greatly. Enough that I could find hidden things, if that makes any sense.

Making friends, Valor?

[Quinn's voice took the bird by surprise, turning away from Jayce to stare at her. A quick glare shot at Jayce before returning to Quinn's side. Taking a break from training and all of that.]

Sorry, was he bothering you?
