FILE 2 | [Network/Action for Violet City] ?!?!?

[gainedlove]

She changed, she changed, she changed!!

[It might be hard to tell at first, but it is not, in fact, the surprised-looking Flaafy that is shouting excitedly at the Gear. Sharp-eyed viewers might see the two tiny arms wrapped around her middle before Frisk's head pokes out from over the Pokemon's shoulder, beaming and terribly excited.]

I didn't know they can change like this! I was just out makin' friends, but some of th' Pokemon didn't wanna be friends an' Shelly started attackin', an' I was tryin' t' stop it but then she started glowin' an' got bigger an' they got really really scared an' ran away!

[Shelly sighs and pats her trainer's arm a few times, and Frisk blinks before setting her back down with a quick apology, then promptly snatches up the Gear to hold it properly. They might not be happy about the fight, but this is still so exciting!!]

It's so cool! I didn't know Pokemon could change like that! But, um, when's she gonna go back t' normal?

Oh, hey! Congrats, dudes. That's a mighty fine evolution you got there, kid.

[Wart checks the feed over Dave's shoulder and nods his approval as well.]

They don't turn back after that, usually. It's more like, uh, extreme growing up than a temporary transformation.

[John kind of recognizes this kid from moon prom, so he doesn't bother with introductions or anything; he just launches right into talking.]

That's awesome! Your Pokemon looks so fluffy now too. But she won't go back to normal - she's just going to be big like that now. It's pretty weird at first, but you get used to it!

And at least she looks peaceful. You're really lucky!

[John's first experience with evolution had been... less than ideal to say the least.]

[Video]

[questionmarksthespot]

Pretty sweet, dude.

[Have a thumbs up, Frisk.]

Transformations are a pretty standard mechanic in this kinda game, you know, level up enough and get a new class or form or whatever.

SHE'S SO MUCH BIGGER! I HAD NO IDEA POKEMON COULD PERFORM SUCH FEATS OF GROWTH!!!!

Action

[mttbrandlegs]

[That has got to be the cutest video Mettaton has ever seen anyone take. Once Frisk appears to be finished, he finally interjects--]

She looks so much lovelier this way!! Imagine that, a sheep with fashion sense!! I hope it is permanent!!

[Maybe he can use this as a springboard into the "FRISK POKEMON LIKE TO BE TRAINED" conversation he tends towards every once in a while. Because honestly. Mettaton's having a grand old time battling and Frisk should partake more often!]

[captainash]

[Aw, kid trainers have the best reactions to the Pokémon life cycle.]

This is your team's first evolution, I take it? Congratulations, kid. If you keep going like this, she'll evolve again and grow even bigger.

[mon_dieu]

I am not sure how to be telling you zis, my young friend, but... I do not think she shall be changing back.

[exeggutorhead]

[Guess who hasn't been paying a whole lot of attention to the network lately? If you answered 'Envy', you are correct.]

[Because he sure didn't know that the kid from the weekends had actually shown up for real until just now. Although he could also be kind of forgiven on account of the memories being generally fuzzy.]

[...of course, since he missed when they first showed up, he has no idea whether they know a damn thing or not. TIME TO FIND OUT.]

Well, looks like everyone else already told you she's going to be staying like that. At least until she evolves again and turns yellow.

[Video]

[usedgravity]

Oh, wow! She looks super cute now!

[Not that... she has any idea what she looked like before]

But, well... this is the new normal for her now, I think?

[video]

[topiaries]

You've taken good care of her. It is scary when they start to fight.

_{[Guess who outright refuses to battle.]}

[text -> video]

[quadrangle]

[Yeah, guess who hasn't seen this tiny human on the network before?]

OK YES VERY EXCITING FOR YOU AND OH FUCK ARE YOU EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO READ? CAN YOU READ.

[hOW DOES HUMAN SCHOOLFEEDING WORK goddammit. And uh. Shit, should he have not written "fuck," he's terrible at judging human ages, TIME TO SWITCH TO VIDEO AND PRETEND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Hello there, small child, pay no mind to how very nervous this young man looks when he finally appears. He doesn't know who, but someone is going to kill him if he'd inadvertently taught this child their first curse word.]

Hey, uh. How old are you?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[There's been plenty of young kids here before, so one as young as Frisk isn't too surprising (Heather'd had to watch a LITERAL TODDLER at one point-- not a fun week), but it's still always kinda fun to see people so enthusiastic about their Pokemon.]}

Well, hate to be the bearer of... news, but she's gonna look that way from now on.

It's kinda like growing up, for Pokemon.
