I'm not a very patient Pokémon. For a few days now, I've been waiting to evolve. A lot of Kakuna in this same tree are also waiting to evolve, along with some Metapod, and some Silcoon, and some Cascoon. Waiting to evolve is boring. You stay in one place, waiting for something to happen, completely open to predators. But it's got to be worth the wait, right?

You see, Beedrill, from what I've heard, aren't really all that well-liked. They're not even popular among beginning trainers. Sure, Beedrill can apparently "Mega Evolve", whatever that means, but apparently this supposed Mega Evolution thing is so rare that most Pokémon will live their entire lives without ever seeing it. Even still, from what I've seen Caterpie is more popular among beginning trainers – apparently humans find Butterfree "cute" or something. So the chances of me ever getting caught are low, which I such as shame, because trained Pokémon tend to live longer than wild ones. I'll probably get caught by a Taillow before I even evolve at this rate. No, I shouldn't think things like that…

Being bored like this causes me to be really pessimistic. I don't have much to think about right now. But waiting means that something great will happen, right? Maybe. I hope I'll be wonderful when I evolve. I'll be able to defeat those all too threatening Taillow that the Caterpie are terrified of! Well, maybe not defeat. That's a bit too ambitious.

I suppose that while I'm waiting to evolve, I should think of positive things instead. I shouldn't worry about what could happen, but instead look forward to what will happen. That way, I'll be the greatest Beedrill who ever lived. Okay, maybe that's a bit too ambitious. I should just try being a generally great Beedrill for now.

Wait… is my shell cracking…?
