"Meowth!" Echo screams as the energy of Evolution overtakes him, not quite in pain but still overwhelmed. "Me-me-me-mersian! P-Persian?"

The decision to Evolve hadn't been an easy one. Echo has been spent months seriously thinking about it, and years considering it. But he thinks it might be worth it — sure, he'll lose his abilities to walk and grab things, but he can relearn those. He did it once, after all.

Already, he's glad for his choice. His paws on the forest floor feel thick and strong, he can already tell that the claws within them are sharper than his old ones ever were. Every sense is heightened, sight and smell and hearing beyond what they were as a Meowth.

"Look at you, old chum!" James laughs, eyes shining.

"It worked..." Jessie blinks, looking stunned for a moment before her face twists to match her partner's excitement, fist pumping above her head. "It worked!"

°How are you feeling?° Wobbuffet asks carefully. He knows how disoriented some Pokémon are after Evolving, and how nervous his friend was above this.

Echo grins, the expression feeling slightly weird on his new face, and opens his mouth to join in the celebration.

"Persian!" Oh no.
