The Second Target [Video/ Action for Route 32]

[The camera turns on, showing what seems to be the last few seconds of a Pokemon battle. A wild Hoppip lies, fainted, a few feet away, while a wriggling Kakuna stands over it. The trainer capturing all this on video isn't in the picture, but the voice and the sight of an Absol standing nearby might be familiar to some.]

Good job. But you seem more active than usual...

[And then suddenly, a bright light cuts through the back of the Kakuna, bright enough to almost blind the eyes. Reese's Absol growls, and then a black shape with wings comes out of the shell, floating upwards as the light fades away.]

[There's now a Beedril floating and buzzing loudly where the Kakuna once stood.]


[At once, Reese's Pokedex turns on, and announces in a pleasant robotic voice:]

Congratulations! Your KAKUNA has evolved into a BEEDRIL!

[And then there's silence. Anyone who's there might just see Reese staring at the Beedril with a rather stupefied expression, because he hadn't been expecting this at all. ]

[After a few moments, he speaks, hesitantly:]

...What just happened?

[Guess who just experienced his first evolution, Route. Needless to say, he's not used to his Pokemon just changing on him out of nowhere.]
