On the one hand - this is a short story. On the other hand? Short can be very effective, especially when dealing with stories about close, old friends. And what's more of a loyal friend then a pokemon?... Well, when they're young, and cute. After awhile, a better one comes along and then -

At some level, I've always wondered what a player would feel if something like this happened - even without such drastic self-modification. Finding a pokemon you'd known had evolved, suddenly returned to it's earlier state... Hmn, there could be some good comments about the cult of youth, or some such thing. This scared, and made me think - and short or no, that's a pretty good record.
