006:// [Outskirts of Violet City] -Video

[lightningninja]

[So Jack had just been training with his Pokemon outside of Violet as usual. He'd learned that Karp seemed to enjoy watching his other Pokemon fight, so he'd sent Ray out to gnaw on random Pokemon in the tall grass. Next thing he knew, Karp ended up floppng out of his hands in excitement. It was a routine thing. Karp was always excitable, but that

[CONGRATULATIONS. Your derpfish turned into a derpGIANTFUCKINGSEAMONSTER.]

HEH!

At least you won't have to carry him around anymore!

... He can carry YOU around!

B-But-

[Jack is still a little bit stunned by that display, having never seen a Pokemon evolve before.]

I'm not sure what just happened.

[But check the happy face on that Gyarados, man. It's licking him. Again.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Looks like he evolved, to me. That's what they call it around here when the Pokemon change shape.

[AWWWW, it's a Gyaraderp.]

Almost makes me wish I'd kept mine.

[... But not really. Wall-Eyed Magikarp still freaked her out. She was glad she'd given that thing to Jack-- the Skellington Jack-- when she'd still had the chance.]

[lightningninja]

...Oh. Yeah, see, I was expecting the change to be... slower? A bit more normal, maybe. But who am I kidding, nothing in this place is normal anyway.

[He rolls his eyes, before grabbing Karp's face and using it to hoist himself up with. Karp doesn't even care.]

You let yours go?

[Jack wasn't sure he'd ever have been able to let Karp go. Sure, he was a stupid fish, but he was stupid to the point where he thought he probably would have ended up drowning or something equally retarded if he had let him go. Jack will always make sure his Pokemon manage to avoid drowning, yep.]

{WAITWHATWHOA. OKAY. Nanao looks down at Shunsui, who is merrily splashing his way along beside her, back up at derpdos, and back down again.}

That's what will happen to you?!

{Action}

[lightningninja]

[Jack eyes the Magikarp warily, as though expecting it to suddenly transform into a giant sea beast as well.]

I had, for some reason, assumed the process would be... slower. And less blinding. I don't know why.

[He stands up, his newly evolved Gyarados immediately headbutting him for attention; and knocking him back down again.]

Gah- Quit it!

{Action}

[used_glare]

{Nanao juuust.. slides away from Shunsui sloowly.}

I guess that's evolution, then. I thought that too... Looks like I was wrong.

{She moves forward a few steps - to try and help Jack up, obviously.}

Would you like a hand?

[action]

[lightningninja]

Ah- no thanks, I got it.

[He pushes himself to his feet again, but this time he puts his hands on Karp's face in an attempt to keep him back.]

Besides, I'm covered in drool. I wouldn't want to get it on you, too. Thanks, though.

[Raven's kinda been off the radar since punching Ocelot, but he's been around. Mostly because he wants to make sure Raiden doesn't get into too much trouble.]

By the Sciopod's single foot!

[Action]

[lightningninja]

[It's more than likely Jack could get into trouble, yes.]

The what?

[He stands up, still covered in drool.]

[Karp just continues to look proud of himself.]

[Action]

[uses_metaphors]

The Sciopod.

[Everyone knows what a sciopod is, what are you talking about.]

[Raven walks forward to get a better look at the newly evolved sea serpent. He can count the number of times he's felt small on one hand. Today, he adds to that number.]

[Atka is much less surprised by the evolution and decides to celebrate it by giving Karp a friendly headbutt.]

Tank! Miltank!

[Action]

[lightningninja]

Uhh... right, yeah, that thing.

[Of course, Jack is just dense. Karp wriggles happily, before moving to lick Atka in return.]

Grauugh!

[Another person who had a Gyaraderp.]

So, you've got one too? They're useful in battle, but watch out for electric types.

[He only knew this sort of thing from listening to Otacon.]

[video]

[lightningninja]

You mean Karp isn't going to be useless anymore?

[WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO]

[video]

[boldandresolute]

Assuming that he stops licking you long enough to take orders, possibly.

[At least his Gyarados didn't try to lick him-- Jormungandderpr just wanted chin rubs all the time.]

[video]

[lightningninja]

He's always been a bit... well, he seems to need a lot of attention.

[He shoves Karp's face away from him with some difficulty, getting to his feet. Karp just grins. It's kind of unnerving, actually.]

[sneaking_sin]

!

[action]

[lightningninja]

[YEAH THAT'S PRETTY MUCH HOW JACK FEELS TOO]

Snake!

[He forces himself to his feet, trying to move away from Karp. As he thought, Karp just follows him.]

Um. Well, I don't think he'll attack you...
