[insidegalra]

In my experience, many pokemon see their trainers as partners or family.

[His sword actually ruffles his hair in a motherly fashion and it's his turn to look a little embarrassed.]

No time like the present. I often come up with several suggestions and let them choose which they like best, or none at all.

[neverbreaks]

[ She bites back a small laugh, then looks at the Larvitar in her arms. ]

Well, let's see...I think I remember something about mountains with you guys, right? Maybe Aarón?

[ Larvitar frowns, and shakes his head. ]

No? Okay, let's see...how about Óliver? It's a name that means "warrior".

[ Larvitar makes a so-so gesture. ]

So something like that, huh? Hmm... [ She thinks for another moment before an idea lights up her face. ] How about Sergio? It means "guardian".

[ Larvitar seems to consider that for a moment, before finally nodding in satisfaction, which causes Luisa to laugh. ]

So you're my guardian, huh? I guess that means I'll be in good hands.

[ ...paws? Whatever. ]

[insidegalra]

[Thace just watches this with a fond expression. And then he bows.]

It's an honor to meet you, Sergio.

[He's very serious about this.]

[neverbreaks]

[ Sergio merely nods his head in acknowledgement, earning an amused smile from Luisa. ]

Wow, you're a pretty serious little guy, aren't you?

[insidegalra]

[Thace chuckles along.]

A few in my family are equally serious. But others thrive on pranks and fun. I'm sure you'll encounter a wide range of personalities that would enjoy partnering with you and Sergio.

[neverbreaks]

[ She hoists Sergio back up to sit on her shoulder. ]

So there really are a lot of different ones out there, huh? I saw some on my way here, but I heard that there are hundreds of different kinds of these little guys?

[insidegalra]

Several hundreds, at the very least. And new species being discovered all the time. And some will change forms depending on conditions or magical stones.

[He gestures to the Flareon, who hops up into his arms to share a fond headbunt.]

Vonir here began life as an Eevee. Eevees can assume eight different forms. Vonir chose to use a Fire Stone and is now a Flareon. There are also forms connected to water, electricity, ice, plants, psychic power, nighttime, and fairies.

[He is clearly the type of nerd who likes explaining things.]

[neverbreaks]

Wow, eight different forms? [ She’s heard a little bit about how Pokemon evolve, but this is the first time she’s heard about those with branching evolutions. ] Why does it have so many?

[insidegalra]

Eevee is referred to as the evolution Pokemon. I'm honestly surprised more haven't been discovered. There are plenty of other types that Eevee could be potentially exposed to concentrated essence of. A metal coat helps species like Onix and Scyther evolve into Steel-type forms, for example. Why not Eevee?

Likewise, dragon scales help Seadra evolve into a dragon type. Why not Eevee?

[neverbreaks]

[ Luisa frowned curiously. ] Wait, how many types are there?

[ She's still...figuring all this Pokemon stuff out. ]
