2ND REVOLUTION - [VIDEO/ACTION FOR VIOLET CITY]

[atrueheroine]

[[Today is a fairly pleasant day in Violet City, so Page has taken advantage of the good weather to head outside and train her Pokemon a little. She's found, however, that over the past few weeks she's developed a few questions that she can't seem to find good answers for, so she's decided to....well, ask the 'feed', as it were. It took her a little while to work up the courage and to remind herself that she's not a wanted criminal here, but even so, it's....well. Slightly uncomfortable, but if this is how people communicate in this place, she'd better get used to it.

She's standing in an area on the outskirts of the city, the rustic buildings of Violet City in the background. The camera is surprisingly steady, obviously being held by one of her larger Pokemon.]]

I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me with my query.

[[When she speaks, her eyes find the camera, but once she's finished she immediately looks to the side, obviously not that comfortable with the whole experience. She's used to giving speeches; rather good speeches! But she's also used to have a tangible audience, so the fact that all she has to focus on is...well, her Gear, is bemusing her somewhat. But she'll get used to it. She's gotten used to worse.]]

Do any of you have experience with raising one of these?



[[Almost on cue, an Eevee scampers up her body and sits on her shoulder, staring into the camera with serious eyes matching those of his trainer.]]

I've done a bit of research and found that he can evolve into one of seven different things; which did you choose? What was the reason? Was it worth it, or do you regret your choice? I've heard evolution is irreversible, so I want to make sure my decision is the right one.

[[Another slightly awkward look to the side, before she faces the camera once more and nods her head slightly.]]

I appreciate your time. Thank you.

[[With a look to the Pokemon holding the camera, the feed is cut.]]

Well, whatever you do, don't pick Flareon. It might be a fire type, but its stats are terrible.

[...And then Riku just offended every Flareon owner ever.

And at the sound of some yapping in the background, he turns the camera towards his passing Jolteon and Umbreon. Back to Riku.]

Anyway, I went with Umbreon because I wanted a dark type, but I doubt Shade would've let me choose anything else. She's one of the most mean-spirited Pokémon I own, after all.

[Fortunately, he hasn't endured any bites.]

But Jolteon's fast and deadly, provided you can deal with their frail defenses and from what I've seen Vaporeon's practically a tank. Think it really just boils down to what types you're really looking for.

...

[[Riku, all this talk of stats and tanks and defensive things is going right over her head, but she appreciates that you seem to know what you're talking about?]]

Well, I suppose my main aim would be to find the evolution that would most suit my Eevee; is that what you did with your Pokemon? They look incredibly powerful.

[Riku is a closet nerd when it comes to strategy. What a dweeb.]

Sort of. Like I said, it was mostly for type coverage at the time. If I were to choose one now, it'd probably be Vaporeon or Espeon because they've got better offenses.

But if you're going for what'd suit your Eevee... Well, can you think of any specific traits that stick out to you?

Well, he's a very serious sort of Pokemon; probably the most serious one in my team, and he's always on the lookout for....well, I don't even know what he's on the lookout for but he always seems to notice wild Pokemon approaching us before anyone else. He's just....alert.

[[Edgar will even make that all the more obvious by turning quickly and looking off into the distance; he's a funny one.]]

Oh, and his favourite attack is Bite, if that helps any.

Sounds like an Umbreon to me.

[He laughs.]

And if that's what you're aiming for, I'd just focus on training at night and keeping him in a good mood. Do that, and I think you'll do fine.
