for one so small, you seem so strong

[Clover is in her room at the Goldenrod hotel. She's sitting on her bed with an Eevee beside her, looking somewhat...confused. The Delcatty (yup, we now know where much of the money Clover earns from the Center went to) at her feet is staring at the Eevee, as if wanting to ask, "WHY ARE YOU HERE." Her tail swishes and her attention returns to Clover, who just sighs and starts talking.]

I found Scoville waiting in my PC. [She pats the Eevee on the head.] And there's one other thing. 

... [Clover the Delcatty cocks her head to one side. Her next unspoken question is, "WHAT OTHER THING."]

His previous trainer was Ace, and he's gone. I have no idea why he'd give me his Eevee, but...I'll keep him.

[Scoville beams and wags his tail, bracing his paws onto Clover's lap. Delcatty will just fold her paws regally and just sit Sphinx-style.]

I better start thinking of what he'll evolve into, huh? And his new name, probably. [She frowns in thought. Names are serious business.]

[Filtered to the 999 cast]

By the way, I checked Scoville to make sure he didn't have any tricks up his furry sleeves, and got nothin'. Twice. So I'm pretty sure he's safe. 

But I really dunno why he'd leave him with me. Or maybe Scoville escaped and then found his way into my PC? Geez, I'll never understand that guy. At least he's out of our hair. 

[Clover rolls her eyes, and sighs in relief. And at least he hadn't tried anything out of line.]

[OOC: Replies will be kinda on the slow side if they even pop up since technically today I begin my hiatus. ^^; SORRY GUYS I'LL BACKTAG TO HIGH HEAVEN WHEN I RETURNNNN]

['Sup, Johto. This is Clover, cross-sitting on the grass with a Pichu in her arms. She's grinning. Actually, she's been in a good mood a lot these days.]

The egg Kisa got me hatched. Isn't he cute? I named him Ion - ow! [She flinches as the Pichu accidentally gives her a tiny shock by latching onto her arm.] Watch it! [Clover frowns, but only for a moment. Doesn't take her long to be all bubbly again.]

Anyway, now all I gotta do is train him up and he'll give Falkner the shock of his life!

[Just then, a Budew waddles over to Clover, followed by a Furret clutching something in his paws. It's a four - or rather, a three-leaf clover. It probably used to have four leaves but one seemed to have been either chewed down to a stub or torn off. Clover giggles as she turns to take the...well, clover.]

That's more of a three-and-a-half-leaf-clover, you guys - aaaaah!

[And before she could finish - ladies and gentlemen, does this bright flash of light look familiar? Ion whimpers and buries his face into Clover's chest as his trainer shields her eyes and leans away, Striper the Furret steps back in surprise, and Light the Budew? Oh, right now you can't see him. Just wait a few more minutes until...]



Rose...lia?

[Silence. Ion (who scurries behind Clover), Striper and Clover are just going to staaaaaaare until...]

All riiiiiiight!

[She jumps up, but actually remembers to put Ion down before jumping up and grabbing Light's arms - OMG LIGHT HAS ARMS NOW - and dancing all over the grass. Clover twirls him around and around, laughing as Ion and Striper - who picks up the PokéGear - run off to follow them.

Light does look elated, but Clover is definitely a lot happier than he is. Well, he's...kinda getting used to...being a foot tall and HAVING ARMS but okay.]

Awesome! About time you evolved!
