[He nods, glad she is following and didn't completely shoot down the possibility. sob. Butterflies and caterpillars.]
Am I correct in thinking she is your starter? If your fish has been with you for this long without evolving... then she may have other requirements other than meeting a certain level. [Although... his own starter had taken an exceptionally long time to evolve as well. But the wait was worth it because dayum giant flaming moths. He's heard of certain kinds of special stones, and having to physically trade Pokemon. The idea that such an action could prompt such a dramatic change... What's to say there aren't other equally strange methods behind it.]
She may be currently undergoing that process.
[ A caterpillar doesn't ~suddenly~ find itself in a chrysalis usually. Although caterpies becoming butterfrees is only called evolution in Ridiculous Pokemon Land. The concept of instantaneous "evolution" is still somewhat baffling. It's arguable whether one species can evolve and branch off into something else in a single generation, or is it a gradual change. If so, where does one draw the line? So yes tl;dr Shino agrees that the fish might evolve. Reconciling both how the world works from home and here is just difficult at times. Poor guy.]
