"after my, uh, previous accidental experience with evolving, i've decided to give some other forms of eevee's a try!"
"the unique potential of many pokemon species to undergo short-term evolution has always fascinated me to some degree, and i feel profoundly lucky to be able to study it...no, to experience it firsthand!"
"the change from one physical form to another is startlingly more fluid between evolutionary states than the one between human and pokemon, despite the latter being slower and easier to process. i tested this by utilizing both methods to take on the evolutionary forms of eevee - a natural evolution, and the more direct human-to-pokemon route."
"for example, the change from human to vaporeon was disorienting, even though i'd experienced every step of the process happen for a meandering 5 minutes. i needed plenty of time afterwards to adapt to the body's senses, locomotion, etc."
"but when i evolved from eevee to vaporeon, that adjustment time was practically nonexistent - i was more in-tune with my new body right from the get-go! the experience was similar across other evolutionary forms, which leads me to theorize that there might be some underlying biological mechanism aiding the process. perhaps this is a new research topic for me to pursue once i wrap up my current one?"
