[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.]

Congratulations!

[Lance sounds way too excited about someone else's Pokemon evolving, but this is Yuuko. If he can't be excited for Momfriend, then who can Lance be excited for? Keith? Pfft.]

Did she get any super cool kickass moves?

[She appreciates the excitement, since Ina's day has pretty much been made by evolving...even if she's gotten a bit too excited about it herself.]

Well, it looks like she learned Double Slap when she evolved...but the move she's really gotten good at is Razor Leaf. She basically just launches all these sharp leaves at her opponent.

Like ninja stars.

[Lance mimics throwing some, including some weird sound effects. This kid's watched far too many action flicks in his life.]

I still don't know how Pokemon manage to make leaves into a weapon. What next? Peanut butter bombs?

[Yuuko just laughs.] Yeah, I guess they are kind of like that.

She can probably do that because she’s a Grass type...but even then, I’m still not sure where she gets the leaves from. I’ve been traveling through Union Cave for the past few days and she could still summon leaves out of nowhere...

The same with Bruce. Only it's water. I'd have him on dry land for hours and next thing I know, he's spraying everybody around him.

It's like they just pull it out of their butts.

[Betcha dollar to donuts, there's a Pokemon who does shoot from their butt.]

[Well, there is Stunky, who's a skunk. Three guesses how it defends itself, and the first two don't count.]

Flip and Biellmann are Water types, and they can both do that too...I wonder if there's some kind of science behind it. [Not like Yuuko is really the scientific type, but there's usually some kind of explanation for how animals can do the weird things they do.]

[Stunky, please. Save us all from your butthole's wrath.]

Probably, but I'm not all that good at science. Maybe Matt knows. He was a scientist back where we're from. You could probably ask him and get an actual answer.

[At least it only shoots from the tip of its tail when it evolves into Skuntank...]

Really? Maybe I'll ask him if I ever see him, then. If he's been here for a while, then I'd bet he'd know something.
