[Chihiro had been keeping rather quiet on the Network since Prom for reasons, but recent murderschool students suddenly turning comatose had left him unsure and antsy. Not really wanting to talk to anyone particular, per-say, but just wanting to talk in general. Particularly light topics that might help alleviate the anxiety.

Maybe. Probably.]

A lot of people here have Eevees, don't they? I wanted to ask and see what everyone's opinions are on the different forms they can potentially evolve into. It doesn't matter if yours has already evolved, or if you don't have one...

...

I also would like to apologize to anyone who may have received text messages in all caps from my Gear during the time I've been here. My Porygon likes to talk to people, particularly new arrivals, it looks like.... I've given him a project to work on so he shouldn't be bothering anyone else for a while.

Well...not exactly. I'm just not sure if people would...like having a Pokémon constantly messaging them. I don't want it to become a problem, or anything.

I see. If the Eevee is allowed to choose and would rather evolve into Flareon, Jolteon, or Vaporeon, then do you think it would be ok?

[dressofheaven]

I imagine if anyone had a problem, they would bring it to your attention. No point worrying about something that may not even happen, right?

Well naturally. That's a completely different story. If the Pokemon has a preference it's really for the best to go along with it, at least in most circumstances. What does yours think?

[codeforhope]

I....I suppose that's true. I just....wasn't sure.

I don't know. Henko doesn't seem to have a preference, yet...I was going to wait until I got back to Goldenrod so she could see the stones for sale and let me know for herself.

[dressofheaven]

No one's complained yet, have they?

That should work just fine, I would think. Of course, if you wait long enough you're liable to get one of the close bond evolutions on its own, at least I would imagine so.

[codeforhope]

No....well, except for one, but...I don't think he understood that he was talking to a Pokemon.

Mhm. That's why I'm going to let her make a decision whenever I get back. If she refuses the stones, she'll evolve naturally...and if she would rather stay how she is, then I'll get her an everstone.

But I am interested to know what evolutions seem popular among most...

[dressofheaven]

There, see? You're fine! Nothing to worry about.

Everstones, right... I genuinely tend to forget they exist. None of mine have ever expressed any given dislike of the idea of evolving, and I've never wanted to stand in the way of them growing up.

[codeforhope]

Yes...I would only get one if it were absolutely necessary, and if that was what she really wanted.

You see, I'm a breeder...or I'm supposed to be. I haven't actually bred anything yet...so I was going to start with Eevee, possibly...unless I can find some Pokemon in different egg groups.

[dressofheaven]

Well that's not a bad way to start. A lot of people seem to really like Eevees. Though, there are also a lot of them around, so if possible I'd recommend trying to find things that people don't see as much of.

But that's for later. It's a good place to start.

[codeforhope]

Yes, Eevees are rather abundant here...but they're really the only Pokemon I can breed right now. I don't think they produce as many eggs as other species, at least.

[dressofheaven]

There is that. Rather fortunate, I think, since so many people seem to start out with them as their breeding stock.

Just keep an eye out for other things, hmmm? There are a lot of choices out there, and a good breeder should make sure to create a sizeable stable.

[codeforhope]

I will. I think I might go to the Foster Home when I'm back in Goldenrod...I'm sure there are a lot of Pokemon there who would love to be with a trainer again.

[Or breeder, in his case. At least he has friends who could help him adopt the stronger ones.]

[dressofheaven]

That's a good choice. I used to work at the Breeding Centre and Foster Home when I was spending all my time in Goldenrod. It's a good place.

Granted, I'm in Goldenrod now, but that's because of the circus.

[codeforhope]

I have been staying in Goldenrod mostly, so I hope I will be able to visit often. ...I might look into working there myself, actually...

Joker-kun has been telling me about the circus. Are you working with him?

[dressofheaven]

Yes, I am. He's been very busy talking about it to people, so I'm not all that surprised he's already spoken to you. Are you planning to come?

[codeforhope]

I would like to, if I can get one of my classmates to come with me.

[dressofheaven]

A particular one, or are you just not wanting to go alone?

[codeforhope]

I...would rather not go alone. I don't particularly mind who comes with me...I would like for all of them to come if they could. They might enjoy it.

[dressofheaven]

Well I should certainly hope so, given all the work we've put in. You should definitely try and bring along all of them that you can. My performance alone would be worth admission.

[codeforhope]

[That gets a little laugh out of him that of course won't be heard.]

I will definitely have to try my best to get them to come, then.

[dressofheaven]

You do that. You'll be doing them a favor.

And when you get there, keep an eye out for me. I'll be the one singing. My name is Ilyasviel von Einzbern.

You can call me Ilya though.

[codeforhope]

I will. It's nice to meet you.

I am Fujisaki Chihiro. But you can just call me Chihiro, if you would like.

[dressofheaven]

Lovely to meet you, Chihiro. I do hope I'll be able to see you at the circus so I can put a face to your name. So until then, be well.

[codeforhope]

You too.
