"Shinies give off a faint sparkle when released- to do with genetics related to the coat/skin. Pink means it probably hatched in Hoenn, though it would depend on the shade, as most regions do differ. But if they were adults when you caught them -and congrats on taming them; that's no easy feat- they probably hatched in the wild."

Probably, but Eva's not getting into the Breeding Industry or the mills known as Shiny Farms.

She'd rather focus on something that doesn't Upset her.

"Sen'i is Eripi's Starter. Maturing her into a-a būsutā," here, Eva's voice cracks with emotion, and the next words speak of an unspeakable sacrilege; a violation of the worst sort, deeper than anything Leia could ever conceive of. "Her mother forced it."

A breath, less to gather thoughts and more a chance to focus as she pulls up the sprites of eevee and all its myriad of 'Shinies'. "She was cheap; an unwanted thing. The Motora farm didn't know they had something people have murdered for."

She taps the solid grey sprite. "We... Eripi learned by her third badge -Sakaki-san knew on sight-, but by then..."

Another breath. Just voicing any of this is... hard. "It was too late to halt."
