“Evolving is supposed to make you stronger though,” I said after a moment. “Attack and defense power goes up… but it also makes more … trouble than it is worth….” I kept on staring at the floor. It was like I could only look at it and not at Mear. I didn't understand it but then again, I felt nervous talking about the whole subject of evolution. It was hard to describe.... I guess....
“But there is no real way to not evolve.. unless you use an Everstone… and even then… It’s… I don’t know… kind of limiting…” I stated. It was true. Using an Everstone was limiting. Sometimes they would run out of power and then you would evolve the next day or so. It just happened like that, and evolving just came naturally. You really couldn't do anything about it.
I kept staring at the floor, but suddenly hearing Lupe talk about the ball almost being over kind of made me upset. I just... wanted to spend a little bit more time with Mear... So that things wouldn't be completely weird the next time we saw each other... But then again... things just might be because I might evolve by then. I had a strong feeling in my gut that would happen soon.
“It'll be ok,” I told him with a little bit of confidence in me then before. I hoped it would be okay anyways...
I suddenly looked up at Mear and forced myself to stand, even though I was extremely tired and was probably still looking a bit pale. I tried to have a smile on my face as I looked at Mear.
“How about.... just one more dance?” I asked, moving my smile into a full one so that I could try to reassure Mear.
“Are you... sure?” Mear asked, still a little worried and I nodded to him, the smile still sitting upon my face.
“Okay then...” Mear nodded to himself, as if he was agreeing with what he just said and stood up and held out his hand. I took it carefully and he led me onto the dance floor for the last song of the dance.
The song was kind of slow, and I tried to keep up with the pace of it. I kept as calm as I could as I danced with him. For once, I only stumbled a little, and that was it. I smiled at Mear and he gave a reassuring smile back, as if saying that it was okay, thought the name thing about evolution kind of stirred in me.
I didn't really want to change my name. My parents never did, though I know a few of the ghost Pokemon friends I had known long ago had changed their names once they evolved. I didn't want to change my name. I kind of want to keep it the same, so that I can always be reminded of tonight and of my parents... but then the thought 'Mear' came into my head. Would it remind me of Mear too? It made me wonder why I thought that... Maybe because he's part of tonight...
As the song slowly ended, I could of sworn that I felt Gray looking at me, but I ignored the feeling. I just wanted to enjoy tonight. I felt myself smiling once more.
