[The only thing that can be seen at first is the strong light of an evolution. The strong light of two evolutions, actually. The brand new Clefairy and the brand new Banette stare at each other for a few seconds, before looking at the Pokégear.]

Fairy?

Banette?

[The answer to their question comes hesitantly.]

...You started evolving at the same time, and finished at the same time. I believe this is a draw.

[Wrong answer, Cecil. The moment they hear the word 'draw', Rosie and Avenger start arguing.]

Faifairy? Clefclefairy clefairy fairy!

Banban nette banette ban nettette!

Clefairy fairy!

Nette banette!

...I suppose evolving did not change you much, then. [He sighs and turns the Pokégear off.]

['Oh, stop that~! You'll make me blush <3!'

Sorry for the slight shaking of the screen, kids. Cecil is just trying to move away and leave the two of you alone.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

['Oh yeeeeah? Maybe I was tryin' to make ya blush~'

In the meantime, there is some grumpy yelling coming from offscreen that sounds oddly like Kaito...]

[video]

[paladinlost]

['I guess it's working~! So, how are you doing today?'

Yelling, shmelling. Not important.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

['Even better now that I get to talk to you, Toots~ It's been too long!'

He will keep yelling. Biz will keep ignoring]

[video]

[paladinlost]

['It has. Between those weeks with the strange weather and last weekend, it feels like it's been ages.'

That noise in the background? Just Avenger, being dragged away by Cecil. Nothing important.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

['Where are ya now, anyway? It seems like we'll never get to see each other at this rate!'

Hopefully Kaito won't appear to cut this conversation short.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

['In Violet. We've finally moved on from Cherrygrove. I've been trying to convince him to move faster, but now he's talking about Gym Leaders. He did say something about shopping in Goldenrod, though.'

What are the chances of that?]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[A little Aipom groan. 'So far away! We're all holed up here in Goldenrod! Bright lights and big cities, Toots! It's every monkey's dream!']

[video]

[paladinlost]

[She gets starry-eyed. 'It sounds wonderful! The view from the streets must be beautiful at night!']

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

['It's gorgeous!'

He adds, slyly.

'But not as gorgeous as you~']

[video]

[paladinlost]

['Oh, you handsome flirt~!<3']

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Biz!

[Uh oh. Looks like the Aipom's time on the gear is going to be cut short]

[video]

[paladinlost]

['...Run?']

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

['Looks likes I've been found out... Toots! It was great to see ya!'

Biz blows a kiss just as the gear is yank forcefully from his paws. Kaito scowls at him, before peering at the video]

... should've figured it was you.

[video]

[paladinlost]

['Let's find a way to talk again soon!'

...But he probably didn't hear it. Oh dear. She still waves at Kaito, though. Being interrupted is no reason to forget her manners.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

He always steals my gear to talk to you...

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Rosie has the grace to look a bit sheepish when she hears that. But not much.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Eh? You look different... did you evolve?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Rosie nods twice. Yep, she just did~.]

My, the two of you must have quite a few things to say to each other.

[Ignore Cecil. He's off training Esuna a few meters away and he's not paying much attention to the discussion anyway.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[Kaito hears the trainer's voice]

Oooooi, Cecil!

[video] hey, where did my html go?

[paladinlost]

Hmm?

[Cecil shows up over Rosie's shoulder.]

Hello there! I suppose a certain young Aipom was using the Pokégear without your permission?

[video] LJ must have ate it :T

[bakaitoukid]

[a bit sardonically]

Gee, I wonder how you managed to guess that?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Lunarian psychic powers.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[fake gasp]

'M impressed!

[video]

[paladinlost]

You should be. They allow even adults to understand the minds of teenagers. Such powers are to be used wisely, or else their wielder can be struck by madness.
