At the end of my first day with the Porygon project team, I made my way back to my dorm room and directly moved inside Utopia. Everyone was already together and they welcod warmly. Eggy/Salandit was "helped" forward by Mothra/Butterfree, and I hugged him while praising his success.
I spent a few monts congratulating Eggy before I decided to stop since I still had to hand out dinner to everyone. Eggy's celebration got mixed in, and our dinner evolved into a dinner party, which was fine by . I let them do wherever they wanted for close to two hours before I called Eggy and so of the others over to my side for so serious business.
Eggy, Bruce/Golbat, Gabite, Togetic, Charleon, Lopunny, and the Eevee quartet gathered around . All of them had reached a point where it beca high ti that they got their own/official nas.
Leaving Eggy aside, Bruce had already raised his first parater to SS. Togetic, Gabite, and Charleon already had one of their parater raised to S, and Lopunny was only one parater short of starting her limit-breaking phase.
Finally, the Eevee quartet too was only one parater short of starting their limit-breaking phase. Even if they were a bit slower, comparatively, since they had reached the (high) bronze stage nearly 9 months before Lopunny and the others.
Though, that was not really their fault since the difference ca about due to the difference in potential as well as the racial value (BS) difference between their respective species. The latter would change once they evolved into their respective Eeveelutions.
Anyway, I told them that it was now ti for them to choose their nas, and none of them seed surprised by that since we had only been waiting with this due to a prior agreent between the kids.
"Alright, who goes first?" I threw the ball into their court. The kids looked at one another before their focus began to move from Eggy to Togetic and back, though Eggy shook his head when he saw that they were focusing on him.
"All of you have already waited longer than you had to because of , so I'll go last," he refused, before looking at Togetic. "Let Togetic go first, she's been waiting for the longest ti," he suggested and the others agreed.
"I didn't mind waiting. We all agreed on doing that," Togetic assured Eggy while jokingly bumping his waist with hers, but still accepted the chance to go first. "So, shoot," she said after turning to .
"Alright, I've got a couple of na ideas for you," I returned confidently before I began listing a lot of luck and happiness-related nas.
Togetic and the others listened attentively as I threw out roughly 30 possible nas from all kinds of sources such as movies, comics, ani, and mythology. Still, I only saw Togetic perking up at a few of the nas I put forward, and once I was done listing them all, I along with the others looked at Togetic to see which one she would choose.
"Hmm, Tyche, Fortuna, Nike, and Aine were the ones I liked the most," Togetic shared before she began musing about which one she should choose.
"Let's test out which one you would like to be called the most," I suggested and we began calling out each na. The others did it in poke speech, with their respective dialects, and I did it in the human tongue. After a few rounds of sounding out the nas, we stopped and gave Togetic a chance to think over it in peace.
"I think I like Tyche and Aine less than Fortuna and Nike," Togetic shared a few monts later. Those were all goddesses, so I guess she liked the mythological nas more.
"Fortuna or Nike," she mused out loud while looking at us to see our reactions. "Don't mind us, choose the one you like the most. It's going to be your na after all," I urged her and she nodded. It took a few more monts before Togetic seed to co to a decision.
"I think I'll go with Fortuna," she said with a nod. "It's easier on the ears," she clarified, and I did not dispute that. I could not help but think about shoes whenever I heard the na Nike, so I was kind of happy she went with Fortuna, even though Nike was in fact the na of a goddess as well.
The reason I added it to the list in the first place was because it was not a bad na. There was also the undeniable fact, that I would be the only one with that particular problem. Nonetheless, she ended up choosing Fortuna, so that was no longer a problem at all.
"Great," I said with a nod. "Fortuna is a great na," I doubled down, and the others congratulated Fortuna/Togetic on her new na as well. This did not only include Eggy and the other na hopefuls but also everyone else since they had stopped what they were doing and gathered around us after learning that we were going to be choosing nas for the hopefuls.
After we settled Fortuna's na, Bruce spoke up before the others could and said that he was already used to being called Bruce, so he was bowing out and keeping "his" na. I had no problem with that, and no one else was really surprised by Bruce's decision either. I had to admit that I had kind of expected this to happen since his nickna was a proper na unlike with Eggy.
Gabite was given the next turn, and I listed quite a few options to him based on dragons, sand, and sharks from various sources of movies, comics, ani, and mythology. In the end, he chose Gaara since according to him Gaara's story resonated with him on so level, and considering his past, I could understand why he would think like that.
Everyone congratulated him on his new na as well, before we moved on to Charleon. Like with the others before him, I offered him various nas as well, and he seed interested in three of them.
"I like Igneel, Apollo, and Sol the best, but which one should I choose," he mused out loud, and any of those would fit him pretty well. Still, it seed he wanted a second opinion on the matter, and the one he turned to was not but Osiris/Marowak.
"Big bro, what do you think? Igneel, Apollo, or Sol?" Charleon asked Osiris, who threw a look first before he said anything. He only spoke up when I gave him a nod to signal that he should go ahead and answer the question.
"I think either Igneel or Apollo would be fine," he shared and Charleon nodded thoughtfully before looking at next. "What do you think, Big Brother?" he asked while tilting his head a bit.
"I agree with Osiris, either of those nas is good. Go with the one that resonates with you the most. Do you want us to sound them off for you?" I asked and he thought about it for a mont before he shook his head in denial.
"It's fine, I've already decided which one I want," he declared. "From now on I'm Igneel," he proudly proclaid before looking at and Osiris for approval. Both of us gave him an encouraging nod, and we all congratulated Igneel on his new na.
That only left Lopunny and the Eevee quartet, and they let Lopunny go first, so I went through the list of nas I had co up with for her as well. Lopunny seed to show only a real interest in three of them while a fourth one managed to perk a slight interest, so I was not surprised about her next words.
"Lola, Artemis, Freyja, and Aphrodite seem interesting," she said, and increasingly enough three out of those were goddesses. "Though, I think I'll directly disqualify Aphrodite. I'm more of a fighter, so beauty and love while nice are not what I desire the most," she shared and I would say that her fighting type would agree with her if it could speak.
Artemis was a good match if we considered that one due to her connection to the hunt. Actually, taking everything into account, Freyja was probably the best match since she was a goddess of battle, beauty, and love.
As if she had read my mind, Lopunny seed to have co to the sa decision. "I think I'll go with Freyja. After going through each one a few more tis inside my head, that one simply resonates the most with ," she said with a wink, and we all congratulated her on her new na.
"Thank you everyone, but we've still got a few more nas to settle," she said with a bright smile, before directing everyone's attention to the Eevee quartet.
The quartet did the eye conversation thing siblings were famous for before the shiny male Eevee stepped forward. Nonetheless, before I began to list to him the options I ca up with, I once more asked them if they were still sure about their evolution choices.
In the end, all four confird that they had not changed their minds. The shiny male still wanted to evolve to Glaceon, the regular male wanted to beco a Ferreon, the female with Normalize wanted to evolve to Espeon, and the regular female wanted to beco a Flareon.
With their future evolutions in mind, I began listing the nas I felt fit a male Glaceon. There were quite a few nas I had in mind, and if it had been a female Eevee that wanted to evolve to Glaceon, I would have recomnded Elsa, but since he was a male, I went with the nas of so ice-based heroes and villains, as well as a few ice and winter based gods.
In the end, he ended up feeling lukewarm toward all of the nas I listed. Instead of choosing one of my nas, he cut Boreas in half and went with just the first half since he said he liked how Borr sounded. The guy sohow ended up choosing the na of Odin's father, but I kept that to myself, and simply congratulated him on his new na, and the others followed suit as well.
Our Espeon candidate was much easier to handle. She chose one of the nas I proposed, and the one she liked was Jean, based on Jean Grey the host of the Phoenix Force. A fitting na for a powerful psychic type considering that Jean was one of the most overpowered psychics in the Marvel Omniverse.
Our Ferreon prospect went next, and he ended up not wanting to go with any of my suggestions as well. Instead, he decided to co up with a na of his own, and the one he chose was Ferrus. A bit on the nose, but it sounded good enough, and he liked it so that's what we went with. All I and the others did was congratulate him on his choice/new na.
The final mber of the Eevee Quartet decides to go with one of my suggestions. She seed to like Hestia the most among the 25 nas I presented, and considering that Hestia was Bestia, I was happy with her choice. Really, going by the original Greek mythology and most of the fictitious story based on that, Hestia was always the best/nicest Greek deity, so she deserved all the love she could get.
I congratulated Hestia on her new na, and the others followed suit as well. Still, with her done, only Eggy was left, so everyone's focus turned to him. He asked to hear my suggestions first but ended up not really finding one that he wanted to use.
In the end, Eggy decided to follow Ferrus' idea and co up with a na of his own. He chose to use the part of the word Venom, and the first part of the word dragon, since that was what he was aspiring to be, at least according to his words.
Anyway, the na that ca out of that was Vendrag, but since Vendrak sounded better, he went with that one instead. I felt it sounded good enough, so I went with the flow and congratulated him on his choice along with everyone else.
Once Vendrak's na was settled as well, we resud the celebration, but this ti we also celebrated the naming of those who had waited for this mont for quite so ti.
