[The transmission starts with a VERY close up image of a disgruntled Ivysaur. From behind, Riku can be heard muttering something about evolving, to which the Ivysaur yawns and looks to the side.

Afterwards, Riku scoops up the Pokegear with a sigh.]

Alright, I think I've seen enough... Guess I'm stuck with an Ivysaur that won't evolve.

I think I'd be better off trading her at this rate. I can't do anything right now, since I'm trying to meet up with Sora, but if there's anyone who's interested, just let me know. I'm mostly looking for a Sneasel or a Charmander, but if there's something else you think is worth it, go ahead. Vine's level 32, so she's already got decent stats.

You're giving up on her? Just like that?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

I've had her for a while, and things just aren't working out. She'd probably be happier with some other trainer.

[...But it's mostly because of the typing and lack of obedience and evolution. Yup.]

[Pearly doesn't understand how you can abandon your friend like that, Riku, but she won't argue--he's been her longer, he knows better than she does.]

voice. (or action because I guess they're traveliiiing? )

[destinyfruit.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're putting too much pressure on her.

action works!

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.]

Nah, even when she first hit level 32, she stopped evolving on her own. Apparently Venusaurs aren't exactly pretty, so that's probably why.

action.

[destinyfruit.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I hope you find her a good home.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

They can decide not to evolve on their own?

pff, so many wat reactions. I did get the okay from Okami for this, tho' XD

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.]

Guess so. Maybe if they resist it enough.

I remember it happening in the anime so yeah, I guess it can happen XD

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Roxas nods]

That makes sense. They can think for themselves.

[Magician Glare GET]

You can't just give up! If a magician did that, they'd never master a trick!

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Believe me, evolution's not the only issue. She's never really fit with the rest of my time, and we've never been that close.

[magictricking.livejournal.com]

[Oh that poor thing.]

Poor Ivysaur. Maybe it doesn't like competing? It takes AGES to get Squirms to battle...

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

How does Vine feel about this?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I doubt she cares.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Make sure about that. They have feelings too.

[totesaladder.livejournal.com]

... you're going to give her away? Just because she won't evolve?

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

There's more to it than that. For one, I just don't have much use for a grass type.

[forperfectstats.livejournal.com]

Evolution isn't the ultimate goal of Pokemon development. Some evolutions don't even change the stats, you know.

[Guess who's Pokemon hasn't evolved yet.]

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

But most do have better stats. Besides, I'd rather have a fire type, anyway.

[Sora + Puddles are staring atchoo incredulously, good sir.]

What do you mean your dinosaur won't evolve, Riku?

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[...Oh great. Sora.]

It's like I said. She just won't go for it.

[Video]

[dreams-to-fly.livejournal.com]

You have a friend named Sora? [Her Togepi, who's name is Sora, pops up at the screen curious at the boy with silver hair.] Oh! You're looking for a Charmander too. Do you like dinosaur pokemon too?

[Video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[And as for the second question-- he shrugs.]

Mostly, I'm looking for a good fire type, and that seemed like a pretty good choice.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I don't think that's what a good team player does.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Everyone keeps jumping at me just because of one Pokemon.
