In the tall grass

[unyieldingwill]

[Video / Action for Route 29 near Cherrygrove]

[The tall grass parts uncovering the Sentret who thought it was hiding there. Reflexively it stands up on its tail to get a better look at just what had found it, giving the trainer more than enough time to bark an order.]

Astina, tackle attack.

[The Eevee doesn’t move.]

Astina… I said use tackle!

[Still

I did have a bit of luck.

[A smile while presenting a Pokeball filled with a new Pokemon.

And then… he glances at Astina.]

I’m not sure about him. I don’t believe we have had a fight?

[Astina shakes his head in a “No, I am not angry” kind of way. ]

[Ever the conversationalist Astina just shakes his head again. ]

It is strange. He just stopped wanting to even try to gain levels once he reached level 14.…

[And the video turns on with one Eevee face.

Then another.

Then one more.

They all chatter away but what they're trying to do is ask the Eevee they saw if he's okay! It's important!]

[Cu pushes forward because he's the oldest! And just starts talking because...hey...new Eevee friend!]

Cu, Bi, Cas. What are you doing? [Aya reaches to take his Gear back despite the complaints he gets.]

[unyieldingwill]

[Astina is more than grateful when Eagle takes his PokeGear back. He isn’t really the most social Pokemon around. ]

Are you making some new friends? That is nice, isn’t it?

[seasalttwilight]

...It won't listen to you?

[unyieldingwill]

It is a little embarrassing when you say it like that…!

[And indeed Eagle chuckles sheepishly at the comment. ]

But, it can’t be helped if Astina is a little head strong when it comes to certain things.

[seasalttwilight]

[a nod]

Some pokemon don't like to fight. Maybe that's it.

[unyieldingwill]

Astina isn’t that kind at all. We have been fighting and gaining levels together for a while now. There must be something about the level 15…
