The old dojo in Saffron seemed just as abandoned as the rest of the planet. Khelfin had hoped to see at least a lonely Hitmonlee or something but it was extremely quiet. Day turned into evening and it started to worry him that no oneh had come. No Sabrina, no Aro, no Maya, no Meredith. 

With some gathered resources he made himself a campfire as the nightfall was rather chilly. To escape the silence, he let out his pokemon so they got to know each othet a bit better.

"Porygon, Grimer, why don't you two give Duskull a warm welcome."

Khelfin realized the irony in his words. None of them could be described as warm. 

The three pokemon did play around with each other a bit but that was mostly out of curiosity. When Duskull was chasing Grimer in a game of tag, Khelfin called for Porygon. Porygon curiously floated towards his trainer, while the others continued their game.

"There is something I was meaning to talk about with you." 

Khelfin showed a box-shaped object to Porygon. 

"I have been carrying around this up-grade item. If applied to your systems, you will evolve. For a long time I thought I was only going to borrow you from Cooper so I wasn't considering an evolution, but I feel like keeping you and that changes everything. Unless.. you prefer to return to Cooper?"

Porygon buzzed and it was unclear what he thought about this. It sure was hard to read a Porygon. 

"I will let you make the decision. If you want to stay with me, please connect with this up-grade. If you wish to return to Cooper, you can leave whenever you want." 

Porygon buzzed again and looked a tad confused. It started to circle around itself, seemingly conflicted about something, and started to float away from Khelfin. Khelfin bit his teeth in disappointment as he figured Porygon was returning to Cooper. However, he was proven wrong as Porygon quickly turned around and charged into the up-grade, evolving himself into Porygon2.
