I've been thinking about the significance of our first pokémon. I find it hard to believe the species given to us are random.

[A brief pause. He's been bothered by this ever since his arrival, actually.]

The initial reaction on meeting your first is important, whether it was fear, familiarity, anger, amusement, or the more unlikely indifference. Then there is of course the more pressing question: why were we given these particular ones?

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

[He's investigating again. Action for anyone in Azalea - he'll most likely be hanging around the pokémon center, working there and all.]

Yes, of course. [She nod, happily beginning her explanation.]

One of my companions received an Ekans as his starter. I find this rather ironic. He went to the same school as I, but was in the Slytherin House. It's symbol is a snake, and his starter was an Ekans, a snake Pokemon.

Then there is Ron. He started with a Magikarp. At first, this may not seem quite remarkable, but I think it is. Ron is not the most graceful person. He's clumsy, idiotic, and...my goodness, the list goes on. It took a bit of thought, but I believe it suits him, and possibly even shows how he'll become. If he relates to this Pokemon, then, as the Magikarp, he'll go through an 'evolution' and become a stronger person. Also, I think it's teaching him something. He's unused to having to work so hard for something, and he's learning patience in the process.

I believe Johto on the whole to be quite a learning experience.

_{[Small smile.]}

What about your own starter?

[video] Sorry for the long ramble last post. xD

[brightlilwitch.livejournal.com]

Yes, I must agree.

[She smiles as well.]

As for my own starter, I believe it's fitting to me because Eevees have the ability to evolve into one of multiple forms. I myself have a broad interest in many things. There isn't a subject I don't like, and it's very hard for me to choose between them. I enjoy them all so much. With Eevees, there are so many different forms it can take, it's almost like trying to decide which subject I like the most.

[video] haha, I don't mind! that wasn't even half as bad as Rainbow Dash telling a story xD

[tapestodiane]

That sounds reasonable. And fitting.

_{[He smiles a little.]}

I take it you haven't decided what to evolve your Eevee into either?

[video] Oh gosh. xD

[brightlilwitch.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't. It's not exactly an easy choice. Plus, I'd like to take Athena's opinion into consideration, as well. I would hate to evolve her into something she doesn't like.

You're very mature for your age.

[Goodness, you're making her blush.]

Oh, now....I wouldn't say that.

[....Okay, yeah. She probably would. But she's not overly obnoxious with adults.]

[video]

[tapestodiane]

You would.

_{[He says so knowingly, matter-of-factly. He was the most mature amongst his peers, growing up, so he can remember how it was.]}

[video]

[brightlilwitch.livejournal.com]

...Okay, perhaps I would.

[You got her. She really would.]

[tapestodiane]

I thought so. Always a pleasure talking to you, Hermione.

_{[He's a busy man (ttly) so this is where he's gonna hang up.]}

It's been a pleasure, as well. Good day, Mr. Cooper.

[And she's hanging up as well.]
