Envious One

[The video feed turns on to show Envy's face; for once, he's contacting the network on purpose. In the background, one might hear the sounds of a minor wild pokemon battle. Clearly not too important, since Envy doesn't look like he's paying much attention to it.]

Hey, I've been wondering. Does anyone else have a pokemon that's taken a weirdly long time to evolve, or--

[Envy's question is cut off by the distinctive noise of EVOLUTION HAPPENING, and he looks up with an almost startled expression. Quickly followed by one of vague annoyance. Chimera would wait until Envy actually asked to get around to it, wouldn't he?] …Never mind.

[The camera turns to catch the tail end of the evolution, and when the light fades away…]



…What. [Okay, pokedex checking time because what. Envy had expected more along the lines of a bigger dinosaur the way his Ekans had just turned into a bigger and fancier snake, which would make sense. But a rock cocoon thing?] Pupitar? Larvitar and Pupitar. What's he going to turn into next, some kind of butterfly?

Hey! What the hell was that flash, what happened now?

[Envy's looking around, half expecting everything to have gone all pixellated again. He turns to look through his pack to see if anything is different there, and…discovers another pokeball?]

This…wasn't there before. [Curious, he releases whatever is inside, and the bright light starts to form into something…much bigger than he'd expected. Hi there, giant green dragon-thing. He freezes for a second, half expecting to be eaten. But...]



Wait.

This is mine?

[Cue huge, somewhat worrisome grin.] Hell yes.
