"Oh!" James looked curious. "Yes, I think I've seen it happen before too, Pokemon resisting evolution... but even up against an evolutionary stone? That is something different, very powerful, indeed!"
James thought back to his own Weezing and smiled fondly. "A long, long time ago... my first Pokemon as a member of Team Rocket, Koffing, was a gift from—... well, it was an oseibo gift..."
He realized he probably shouldn't mention the Boss so casually to Chloe.
"We were... not the best battlers, back then. We were always losing. It seemed like our Pokemon would never, ever evolve, because they just couldn't get the necessary experience... but the idea of them changing into different Pokemon made us sad, we hugged Ekans and Koffing and cried, I admit it! But, then, the moment my tears touched Koffing, something amazing happened... it glowed with the light of evolution! I think the same happened with Jessie's Ekans, as they both simultaneously evolved for us. Can you believe it? Ekans and Koffing don't evolve by friendship, supposedly... but that's how ours evolved."
James had finished eating by that point. Mime Jr. was absolutely buzzing with excitement, giggling.
"I wonder what's gotten into Mime Jr.? Maybe it's the good food," James said in amusement, although he was still a bit distracted by memories of Koffing.
[it was, I only really wanted to sleep and rest for two days after, ffff]
