Day 21 - [Video] | [Action] for Goldenrod/Route 34

[Atsuro almost hesitated on posting this. He saw the network entries so far; people reporting their friends being sent home. But he did promise to tell, so...]

Hey, Fang? Still there? My egg hatched! So here he is! [He moves the PokeGear to show his newest Pokemon.]

Pretty cool, huh? I haven’t think of a name for him, yet, but I’ll take my time giving him a name!

[…Even if Golett are technically genderless.

If anyone want to see Atsuro, he'd be near the entrance of Goldenrod City, facing Route 34, with his new Golett for training. He have Midori's Eevee, Mariko, out as well for some joint training.]

Alright, let's see how much we can do today.

[...Oh my god Clive has no idea what that is but he wants one]

What species is that?

[You should get one Clive it looks like a robot]

A Golett, I think. The first one I've seen around here.

[That's exactly why he wants one. Fucking robots, man.]

I've noticed that many of the eggs people have gotten hatched into new species. It's quite fascinating.

But anyway, would you be interested in doing a trade? I can breed any of my Pokémon in exchange for a Golett egg.

[Yup, he's asking the question already. Clive is ruthless.]

A trade, huh?

[This might be interesting.]

I'll probably need to find a compatible partner for him or a Ditto. [Because Dittos went well with EVERYTHING.] So what kind of Pokemon do you have?

I'd be happy to lend you my Ditto if you need it. As for the Pokémon I can breed you, I've got...

[He takes a breath before he starts rattling off Pokémon names.]

Absol, Ekans, Sneasel, Mawile, Happiny, Nidoran ♂, Magikarp, Feebas, Eevee, Teddiursa, Lunatone, Luvdisc, Lapras, Togepi, Ralts, Porygon, Rotom, Duskull, and Zorua.

[And he finishes with a grin.]

Do any of those interest you?

If you don't mind, I'd love to borrow your Ditto!

[Atsuro stay quiet to listen to that list of Pokemon. He already have a few of them, like an Eevee.]

Hm...what's a Zorua?

[Luckily Clive has his Zorua in his party, so he lets her out of the ball for Atsuro to see. But because of her ability, she takes on the form of Clive's Nidoking as she's sent out.]

Kira, I need you to revert back to your original form for me.

[And in a split second, the large Nidoking fades away and a tiny, adorable black and red fox takes its place. Clive scoops her up in his free arm so Atsuro can get a better look at her.]

This is a Zorua. As you can see, it has the ability to create illusions.

[At first, he looks confused when he saw the Nidoking. Then, Atsuro looks suitably awed and interested once the Zorua changed back to normal.]

Whoa, that's so neat. You can hardly notice anything out of the ordinary with those illusions.

Yes, they're quite convincing! It seems that it's only capable of changing its physical appearance, but according to the Pokédex, it does have an evolved form... I'm not sure what it is yet, but I predict that it will be able to create illusions on a much grander scale once it evolves.

[He sure hopes he's right because that would be so awesome.]

And unlike when you use the move Transform, Zorua keeps its original type and moveset while taking on the appearance of another Pokémon. The only downside is that the illusion will wear off once it's been hit by an attack.

As in illusions that can even change how we see the environment as well?

[Normally, that would be worrying. But it sounds awesome.]

Too bad the illusion wears off like that, but on the other hand, you can surprise your opponent when Zorua use a weird move.
