四 [video, action for Cherrygrove City]

[usedfuryswipes]

[The Pokegear snaps on as Ken turns it to face one of his team--little Omi the Sentret, fresh from battle and starting to glow bright white. Ken's never seen an evolution firsthand before.]

I was starting to wonder who'd go first...

[As Omi changes shape, growing long and thin, and the glow beings to fade, Ken blinks at just how big he's getting

[...Mamoru will be staring from a rather safer distance, thanks.]

It's huge. Ken-kun...

[Togepi... Togepi not so safe a distance. He's elated and trots over to congratulate Omi himself.]

I didn't think he'd get so damn big.

[Omi, for his part, is happily talking away and nuzzling Ken's face. See, Mamoru, totally harmless.]

[action]

[deadfreesia]

Really.

[After having a few moments to adjust to the change in size, Mamoru moves in closer. Omi certainly doesn't look fearsome, but Mamoru still prefers erring on the side of caution.]

I wonder if any of your others will grow so large.

[usedfuryswipes]

Dunno. Guess we'll find out when we find out.

Furret fur!

[bounces slightly. This makes Ken go 'oof.']

[referring to Omi being taller than Ken:]

That's no great achievement.

[Darling disagrees and blows Omi a kiss. She is now both jealous for herself and thrilled for her friend. Youji softens the sarcasm a bit when he sees how pleased she is.]

Maybe we can rig a hammock across the room. 'Least you'll be warm now, hm?

[video]

[usedfuryswipes]

Oh sod off.

[oh hey this gesture is very rude in Britain. Looks like Ken's been picking up more than slang.

Omi, for his part, waves a paw attached to a stubby little leg at Darling. HEY LOOKIT ME I'M BIG NOW.]

Guess so.

[Youji is blithely unaware of anything specific to British culture. 'Cept maybe the Beatles.

Seeing tiny, cute little Omi-Sentret turn into that great big squirmy Furret thing seems oddly meaningful, though.]

Was it that sudden with the other Omi, too?

[Darling glances briefly at the rarely-serious Youji, before going back to Omi.]

Smooochum? Smoochum smoochummm?

[Or, is Ken's tummy very soft? Is evolving fun?]

[video]

[usedfuryswipes]

[Pretty sure you'll get the idea after repeated exposure.]

Not really.

[Why do you keep asking these things, Youji. JUST BE BLISSFUL IN YOUR IGNORANCE.]

Fur, furret fur! Furrrrr...

['Yeah, a lot of fun! ...and not really.' Apparently Ken doesn't make a good trampoline.]

{And this would be a Nanao wearing her very own furscarf, which is squeaking happily at Omi}

Congratulations, Ken.
