✩ SECOND DISCOVERY | VIDEO

[adai]

[The video opens to show Rossiu seated on the bed in a hotel room. He's wearing his usual outfit, completely with stupid poncho and currently has quite a few books spread out before him. They're all incredibly simple and have more pictures than words, but the topic seems to be Eevees and their evolutions. The Pokémon in question is sleeping sprawled on top of some of the books.]

Hello. I have a question for you. I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before, but what should I evolve my Eevee into?

[Rossiu picks up one of the books, flipping the pages absently as he thinks.]

I already have the following types: Psychic, Ice, Fire, Grass, and Fairy. That leaves Umbreon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon. I suppose I could keep him as an Eevee, but I'm not sure what the advantages to that would be.

[He finally looks back up at the 'Gear, his expression still far too serious for this conversation.]

I'd like to hear about your experiences with Eevees and their evolved forms as well. While I would prefer to evolve him into a type I don't have, I'm not opposed to going with something else.

[...]

Oh, and I have another question. Does anyone know why Eevee has so many different evolution choices? I thought all Pokémon had one path of evolution.

[Alright, that's everything. Rossiu nods to himself.]

Thank you for your time.

Really? It sounds like it would be very warm where you're from.

[Not like he can talk.]

[awesmazings]

Oh, it is! It's a looot hotter back home than it is here. And I was really surprised by how cold it gets here, too. Especially with the snow and everything!

[adai]

I definitely understand that. I arrived in February and it was snowing a lot. It was the first time I'd ever seen snow.

[IT WAS A DISASTER who thought it was a good idea to bring him in during the winter??]

[awesmazings]

[WHO INDEED.]

I'd only seen snow one other time before coming here! It really doesn't snow at all where I'm from, so it was a surprise, for sure.

[Though...now he's finding himself more and more intrigued by Rossiu's home.]

...what kinds of people live where you're from, if you don't mind me asking?

[adai]

I don't mind. There's a lot of other humans, but we were forced to live underground by the beastmen. They're... well, half-beast, half-man I guess? I'm not really sure. They're ruled by the Spiral King and they have access to technology far beyond what any human could create. My friends and I journeyed to the surface world and are fighting against the beastmen.

[...wait.]

Ah, I forgot to mention that humans live in civilizations underground. There are some pretty big cities, but I came from a small town with only fifty people in it.

[awesmazings]

Gosh...I've never heard of anything like that before. I mean, there's demons and stuff back home, but nobody really lives underground. So they're really dangerous, then?

[adai]

Most people here seem to think that's strange. I had never seen houses on the surface before, so I guess I'm from a very different world.

But yes, the beastmen are very dangerous. If you can get them alone they're typically not too difficult to take down, but they often attack in groups which makes it very difficult to predict and counter. Of course, if you don't have a gunman, there's no way to stop them.

[awesmazings]

Yeah, that's probably the case. I mean, I've never heard of anything like that, but it can't be any weirder than having red skies instead of blue. I'm glad we don't have anything like that here in Johto...but I guess if we did, our Pokemon could help protect us.
