► thirteenth sketch [Video]

[The view clicks on to a view of an open window. Surprisingly, it's the first sunny day in days.]

Alright, come on.

[The feed pans to a Cherrim in overcast form, who bounces towards the open window, and immediately changes itself to its sunny form. It bounces happily on the window, flailing its arms.]

Cher! Cherrim!

You're happy, right? This is a nice day. It's a happy day for me too.

[There's a pause as the feed just shows the sunny view of Goldenrod, Namine sounding thoughtful above the happy chants of "Cher cherrim!"]

I've been here for a year now.

[She's quiet for a few moments, until an Altaria flaps near the window. Namine's arm holds out so she can pet the fluffy bird.]

Go stretch your wings some more while it's still sunny.

[It does and with a sigh, Namine pans the view to the still happy Cherrim.]

Are there other pokemon like this? That changes their form with the weather?

[Woah changing pokemon never seen that before. But, he'll comment on it later. Because. He should probably say something about this. It's an important day.]

Congratulations.

[She was just turning off the gear when he speaks up, and turns around with a bashful smile at that.

Thanks. To be honest, I didn't think I'd make it.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

...but you did. You shouldn't say stuff like that.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I guess. That means I'm another year older too. I still don't think it counts as a birthday, but it's nice to think I made it this far.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It is pretty incredible, when you think we've been here a year. It's hard to believe.

Happy Anniversary!

[ee momma Minnie.]

T-thanks, Minnie. I still can't believe it sometimes.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I know, the time flies here so fast. It's hard to say how long I've been here.

video

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

But you've been here before me, right?

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That's right. At the very least, it's been over a year.

[ video ]

[uuing]

Uu-! It changed, it changed!

[ Apparently Maria is still too caught up in that surprise, her eyes a little wide. ]

[ video ]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

It's interesting, isn't it? She started doing it after she evolved. I thought she evolved again in a span of few hours, but she blooms just like a real flower when it's sunny, and she looks like a closed bud when it's not.

[ video ]

[uuing]

She's really like a normal flower, uu-.. So it's a flower Pokémon, a flower Pokémon, uu-! Maria thinks it's really, really pretty!

[ video ]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Te Cherrim bounds over and peeks at Maria through the screen, before waving a tiny arm as if in hello.]

Do you like flowers?

[ video ]

[uuing]

[ Maria eagerly takes it as a sign to wave back, perhaps a bit over the top enthusiastically so. ]

Maria really, really likes flowers, uu-! Maria had her very own rose back home.

[video]

[clicked-3-times.livejournal.com]

She's beautiful.

Do you like it here?

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Isn't she?

Cheeeer. [The Cherrim waves at Dorothy with its tiny arms.]

Mm, I do. I could do things here that I couldn't back home.

[video]

[clicked-3-times.livejournal.com]

I've never seen anything like her.

What sorts of things? If you don't mind me asking.

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I got her during the second time everyone in Johto was given eggs. I think around Easter? And during those times, the eggs we got sometimes came from different regions. SO I think she's from outside Johto.

... being free, I guess.

[video]

[clicked-3-times.livejournal.com]

There are areas beyond Johto?

Oh, I suppose I have more freedom here as well.

[Oh, oh! Form changing? Have a jolly little Rotom up close to the 'Gear.]



[It flies away, and when it returns, it looks like a fan!

Surge continues beeping, whirring, and clicking until Riku snatches the Gear from him.]

And here I thought Rotoms were the only Pokémon that changed forms.

video

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

It... turned into a fan?

video

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Surge beeps in confirmation before... changing back! Watch as a miniature fan hits the ground with a clunk!

Oh, but it's not over yet! Time to go find some other random appliance!]

But it can do more than that.

[Vrrrrrrm! And it's back again, this time as Heat Rotom!]

video

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

How many other forms does it have?

video

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

About five. I've seen Surge change into a refrigerator and a lawn mower before.

[Plus a washing machine! Surge here is just clicking away, changing back as the microwave hits the ground with an even louder thud!]
