[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.]

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.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

They can decide not to evolve on their own?

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

[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.]

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.

action.

[destinyfruit.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I hope you find her a good home.

action.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks.

[He looks over to Vine who sneers and lets out a disgruntled 'Saaaaa'. With that, Riku returns her to her Pokeball.]

It's too bad she chose not to evolve. If she was a Venusaur, then there'd be more than enough room to ride on her.

[Pearl, why you give him that look? Now you're making him feel bad. :C]

... Look, it's not that I want to do this. I just don't think I'm the best guy to take care of her.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

Maybe Sora will do it! [She's already built Sora pretty high in her mind, so he's apparently the lover of all things large and small... not too far from the truth, but still.]

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

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

How does Vine feel about this?

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.

[totesaladder.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[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.]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Heh. He did say he was looking for a dinosaur.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

And I'm sure he'll love it even if it doesn't want to grow up! [She means no offense to Riku, of course. It's more that she's got a high opinion of Sora.]

yeah, that's where I got the idea

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Either way, she's better off with some other trainer.

action.

[destinyfruit.livejournal.com]

I wonder why she doesn't want to.

[video]

[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.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I doubt she cares.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

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

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Make sure about that. They have feelings too.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

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