Do you guys have Thanksgiving here? I mean, Halloween was kind of a thing, but it also got insanely hijacked. What about like...religious holidays? I'm saying is there Christmas, and if there is Christmas, what's the status of, say, Hanukkah? Easter? Eid al-Fitr? Important questions here, folks.

What I'm mostly asking though if is turkey day's still a thing. But for real, though, I also need to know about the winter holidays. I can and will sing the dreidel song at people if I have to.

Oh man, but like with the creepy festival that gave us ghosts, thanks, what about other poke-holidays? Is there like...major festivals for the little guys or what?

And pokemon societies! We already know these things are sentient, I mean, they're smart enough to understand people and think independently and have complex emotions and reasoning skills. What if different species of pokemon have their own societies and holidays?

I'm going down a rabbit hole and I'm gonna stop now.

[The first thing to appear on the video is a growlithe, staring forward with his all-too-typical vacant expression. He pants a little, and his head is cocked just enough to allow a rather long string of slobber to trail from its mouth. In front of it is a hunk of red stone, a gift from her partner only a few weeks prior.]

[The video wobbles as Hawke fiddles with it, piercing blue eyes and dark hair onally appearing on screen as she fidgets with it, making sure the pokemon is perfectly in focus. Once she's certain that everything is perfect, Hawke leans over and smacks her knees, immediately drawing the beast's attention.]

Alright big guy, just as we practiced!

[D.T. lets out a sharp yap, pouncing forward and onto the stone. The effect was almost instantaneous, both stone and beast lighting up in a bright, white glow. A blob replaces the shape that D.T. once held, and that blog slowly begins to grow in size. When it finally rivals the size of an extremely tall man, the shape grows outward, finally taking the form of a rather large dog.]

[And then it moves, disappearing from the screen. Its lunge knocks the pokegear free, and it hits the ground just as a loud oof escapes Hawke's mouth. Those not watching the video feed and instead witnessing the woman completely buried beneath a mound of orange and black fur. The video rotates between focusing on the grass in front of it and the dog burying the woman.]


You blighted oaf! [The voice from beneath the dog is breathy and strained. A pair of legs kicks out, immediately pounding on the grass beneath her.]

[It would seem Hawke's Growlithe has successfully evolved into an Arcanine.]
