Oh, one more thing if I may:

Shiva loooves fairytales. "Gyarados are scary beings, huge and almost uncontrollable..." She shivers a bit at that thought. "I have never heard of a Magikarp being able to evolve in various ways like an Eevee.
Please, Noble Arcanine, do you mind sharing a bit of your knowledge about that? I'd be happy to listen to your lore and be enlighted, as well as to keep your stories for rereading."
Means, if Arcanine shares anything about this, Shiva will note it in her journal. If Arcanine prefers not to or gives itself reluctant, she'd at least asks where she could maybe find more information about the various evolutions of Magikarp apart from within Atheneum. If Arcanine doesn't know or doesn't wish to share, Shiva will respect that.
"Pokemon ARE Nature. They are its embodiment. The fundamental forces of Nature, given form, then allowed to change by Time. When a Pokemon evolves, it is an inherited response to a changing environment. Magikarp used to be nothing but a swift-swimming fish - big and strong, yes, as it fed in the streams - but it only evolved the ability to change into Gyarados when more and more pressures were put on it. As humans in this millennium alter the landscape with their axes and saws, I have no doubt that Pokemon will require new evolutions to adapt. And most will, for such is the power of Nature - but whichever species fail to adapt, I shall do my best to preserve."
Arcanine gives an approving, lordly look to see you and Cottonee together.
"The journeys humans take with Pokemon are very important. It is wholly necessary that humans share a bond with Pokemon, if both are to survive the other. The choice of a human's first Pokemon is an important one. Nature herself has chosen certain species well-suited to become traditional human partners. Others, such as your Cottonee, are less typical but no less important."
"Shiva, entrusting an Egg to you would be very significant. Do you understand the responsibility?" Without really waiting for an answer, he goes on. "If I were to give you this Egg, you would have to take a serious oath. A Pledge. You and I will make a pact so powerful, Nature herself will respond to our voices. Whenever you remind Her of this Pledge, she will respond to your voice. Her flames will keep Minicorn warm and safe when she is still within the Cradle. They will defend her when she is in danger... you must do the same with your love and with your companions."
"Every Fire-aligned Pokemon who witnesses this Pledge is bound to help enforce it. In return, they will be granted a powerful move by Nature."
Any qualifying Pokemon you bring to witness the Pledge of Arcanine will learn Fire Pledge, Flamethrower, Fire Punch, Heat Wave, and/or Fire Fang.
Pokemon who have Loyalty matching their Disobedience might also learn Blast Burn.
The given move MUST be on their level-up or ? list.
"Shiva, I will give you this Minicorn Egg. You will Pledge to love it and the Pokemon it contains. You will Pledge to do everything in your power to see her grow up happy and strong. You will Pledge to do your best, when the time comes, to allow her to raise a family in whatever way is best...for her. Even it means leaving you. Do you understand? Do you Pledge?"
"Nathan, you seem to know much about Absol. You seem to have treated your companion Absol well. You seem to have knowledge of the strange stone, as well. I will tell you there are ways for Absol to evolve further without the use of anything other than this stone, but I lack exact knowledge of how. It has happened in the wild for centuries before humans discovered this power. Perhaps the land acts as a natural Key Stone under certain circumstances."
"But because you have thorough knowledge of one method...and come from a time where Absol undergoes a struggle..."
"Nathan, I will give you this Absolite. You will Pledge to protect it and the Pokemon species it empowers. You will Pledge to do everything in your power to see that Absol's Mega-Evolution is sustainable, a pleasant and fulfilling experience for him or for any other Absol you may see fit to Mega-Evolve. This evolution is not inherited, it is learned, and thus it is a bigger responsibility. You will Pledge to do your best, when the time comes, to preserve the circumstances that make Mega Absol possible and healthy in the world, even if that means making sacrifices on your part. Do you understand? Do you Pledge?"
"If any of your companions can honestly say they are the right person for the responsibility of raising one of these Eggs, they may speak. It is possible they may be offered a Pledge."

Arcanine seems to be implying the Magikarp always becomes Gyarados, but there are several ways to evolve into Gyarados.
"In one tale, Magikarp must be
inspired enough to climb to a holy place. Such a place is known as the Dragon's Gate. Or perhaps it is several places under certain circumstances. The key is the
inspiration. It may be a basic drive, such as the desire to mate. It may be love of a trainer, or the urge to explore. Could a Magikarp even be inspired by the need to create? I do not know."
After such long battle, Heart return to the camp, waiting everyone to return from their missions. He also take the opportunity to send a message to Bill:
Howdy Bill! How things is hanging in the future? Our situation its not one of the best, but I must confess its not from the worse either. I catch some interesting pokemon though time and space. Some of them extremely rare like a overgrown Rhyhorn and a very much rare Honedge. Any clue if the machine is fix it so we can return to 2017? Gonna send you the Pinsir I have capture now and my D-Onix for heal a bit. No funny things okie dokie? In exchange, I think I will take my Beldum Egg and Larvesta. The volcano air might help hatch the egg, and Larvesta would like a change of scenario.
With the trade done, Heart release Larvesta who calm sleep in his shoulder and Heart securied carry the egg to return to the camp.

"What machine are you talking about? I'm a little jealous of your adventure through time and space, tbh. Take lots of good notes for me, will you?"

"It's a way of talk my friend. I try to say if you could found a solution to take us back to our time? Having adventures though tint and space is cool, but I still would like the know land of 2017 ."
"Trust me, I have a lots of notes to share with you."

"Ah. Well, if you can find a way to turn yourself into a Pokemon, I can probably find a way to get you back here."

"...it wouldn't be the first time I've seen a Mega Pokemon in the wild. I can definitely believe there are other ways to unlock that potential. And maybe my friend would be a good example..."
"...this also wouldn't be the first time I've made a promise such as this. When Landorus himself asks you to help preserve nature...well, it's not something you can forget, really..."
He falls quiet for a short time.
"...honestly, it's always been a hope of mine that I'd be able to help my friends Mega Evolve, achieve their true potential. And if I can help others do the same...well, then I have no problems with making that Pledge. So long as people like Juni exist in the world, it's important to not lose sight of what makes such power significant and important. And if there any Fire types that I would want to bear witness if they so choose...well, what better ones than those who hold similar potential? Just give me a sec' to grab them...or, at least one of them if I can't get the other one sent over..."
Well then...Nathan needs to send an important message to Bill to retrieve his Fire types that would benefit from the Pledge.
Quote:Hey, could I get ya to send me Orthros, my Delta Houndour, please? We're in the middle of a volcano at the moment, no humans besides us around. I need to discuss something with him real quick, and I'll send him right back when I'm finished with talking with him since I don't want to cause a paradox anymore than you do. And I need to discuss the same with Charmeleon as well, so I need him, too.
If you'd still rather not take the risk, I understand, but...this is very important, and I think it's safe to send Orthros over for a short time since it doesn't seem like this era's locals visit the volcano's interior with any kind of frequency. The basics of the topic concerns Mega Evolution, something I'm sure both of those Fire types would very much be interested in hearing.
