[Yuuko's finally made it out of Union Cave, and while she's happy about that, that isn't the reason she's making this video. She waves to the screen before speaking.]

Hi, Yuuko here. So I guess this wouldn't be much of a big deal to those who have been here longer than I have, but one of my Pokemon evolved while I've been traveling! And she seems really excited to show it off, so I just thought I'd make this video.

[Yuuko turns the camera to the right, revealing a Steenee that's standing a short distance behind her.] This is Ina! She was a Bounsweet when I caught her, but now she's a Steenee. [Ina waves to the camera as well, but with a lot more enthusiastic bouncing up and down. She has actual arms now! And longer legs! And no longer has to worry about bird Pokemon trying to eat her! The world is now so full of possibilities!

Yuuko just smiles. Her ~~children~~ Pokemon are growing up so fast...hey, she has actual kids at home, so she really can't help but be reminded of her own daughters.]

So, I guess that's really all I wanted to-- [Yuuko is then interrupted by Ina squeaking excitedly and bouncing around even more, the pigtail-like sepals on her head swinging around wildly as she gets even closer to the screen.]

W-wait--Ina, slow down...! [And it looks like Ina got so excited about evolving that she's knocked the 'gear out of Yuuko's hands and cut off the feed. Whoops.]

She seems very excited about evolving. Was happiness a factor?

[Chise can't help but sound amused, try as she might, because watching that scene play out had been kind of adorable.

A Noibat is flopped on her head nibbling on a berry while her Litwick is perched on her shoulder, as usual.]

She's definitely going to keep you on your toes.

Maybe...though I did also use her a lot when we were going through Union Cave. She was pretty useful against any Rock and Ground type Pokemon that tried to go after me.

And she's definitely got a lot more energy now that she's evolved... [Probably because she's happy that she's no longer completely helpless against any Pokemon who'd want her as a snack.] But I think I can handle it. I've got three six-year-old girls at home, so I'm used to high energy.

[She makes a thoughtful sound, nodding--only to pause.]

...Some of the types are better against others? [And here she looks a bit...exasperated.] I should read up on battling more I guess.

[Chise isn't keen on the idea of battling but it's best to be prepared. Especially if she's going to focus on just Ghost and Fairy types for the most part.]

Three? [That..is a lot of kids.] That would definitely prepare a person for just about anything...

Yeah, it looks like every type has advantages and disadvantages over others. Most of it is pretty straightforward, like Water being better against Fire, but I'm still learning about all of them myself.

Triplets are definitely a lot to handle. My husband and I usually have our hands full with them. [And she's infinitely grateful that she has Takeshi to help out with raising them, because it would be a lot harder to do it herself.] I guess raising Pokemon isn't that much different when I think about it.

I guess I need to read more. Maybe I can ask my Pokemon for advice as well..

[Just because you can sort of understand what your Litwick is trying to get across to you doesn't mean you can understand every Pokemon, Chise.]

I bet life would be way too quiet if you didn't have something around to keep you busy, though.

Most Pokemon do seem to be pretty smart. [Though Yuuko isn't entirely sure how Chise would be able to understand them.]

True, I don't mind being busy. It helps that looking after Pokemon can keep you busy enough.

That's what others have told me as well.

Are you a breeder? Or just a trainer? Because from what I've read and been told being a breeder is very time consuming which might be fitting for you as well.

[She's trying to be helpful!]

I'm a breeder! None of my Pokemon have shown any signs that they want to breed yet, but I'm still keeping an eye out for when they do. I'll probably be busy once any eggs start showing up...

So am I. I'm going to try and find a place to stay hopefully before any of mine decide to start having eggs though I haven't decided where yet.

[She really doesn't want to end up with a ton of eggs on the road.]

I'm still traveling, but right now I'm heading to Mahogany Town since I've heard there may be a rink there. Hopefully I can get a job there and then find a place to stay myself.

I hope that works out for you. [She means it.] I was told I should try to find the daycare and see if I can get a job there...I also want to visit Ecruteak City. So that's on my list of places to head towards.

The daycare, huh...maybe I should stop by there myself and see if they have any tips for breeding. [She may need them once eggs start popping up.]

It sounds like it might be useful for anyone that's a breeder though I'm..still worried about what I'm going to do if any of mine do breed. [She can't help but look a bit stressed by the idea.] Apparently some Pokemon produce a lot of eggs?

Yeah, apparently the more common and widespread a Pokemon is, the more eggs they can produce. I think you get get about 10 to 12 eggs at most in one clutch.
