[It's been a while since Dist last appeared on the network with a post! Well, if you're an everyday PokeWorld citizen anyway. Rockets may recall things differently.

Though the location he's in appears to be nondescript for the most part, there is quite a number of flower bouquets present on the desk that he's recording from. Roses, lilies, tulips, daisies, chrysanthemums...all different species are carefully cut and placed into vases. ...Some of those flowers even appear to be moving! A tiny, sparkling fairy Pokemon upon a magenta-colored flower is floating about the bouquets, and another fairy Pokemon resembling a flower, though about the size of the bouquets themselves, is also present.

Dist gently tilts the 'Gear toward himself so he can begin. He's actually dressed pretty casually tonight with a plain pink dress shirt and a black tie, which is incredible on its own especially since he's presenting himself to the network. ...Still fancy as heck, though.]

Good evening! Quite a lovely spread, isn't it? The flower shop at the Celadon Conservatory never fails to deliver, even in the midst of winter.

But the flowers aren't the main subject of my post today.

[He beckons to the flower Pokemon off-screen, and they quickly join him, peering at the 'Gear curiously.]

I am curious- Since we've had them for a good few months by now, has anyone attempted evolving their Kalosian Pokemon through more creative means? [He motions to the larger of the two flower Pokemon.] For example, Gardenia here is the result of presenting a Shiny Stone to a Floette. I happened to discover this by chance a few weeks ago when she got into my bag and grabbed the stone, causing herself to evolve in the process. Not that I mind that mistake- she is incredibly beautiful.

[He gives the Florges a gentle pat on the head for emphasis, putting her previous embarrassment at ease.]

This topic has always piqued my curiosity, so I would very much like to hear about more special evolutions involving the newest Pokemon to grace us with their presence. Thank you for your time!

[The two flower fairies wave cheerfully as Dist moves in to turn the feed off.]

[Shortly after Dist's video goes live, he adds a quick text for his fellow Rockets!]

I am currently in the process of reviewing the data collected on my experimental Pokemon during our raid earlier this month. I would again like to thank those of you who chose to use one of my experiments during the raid, as it helps me work out the kinks and perfect my (practically already perfect) projects.

If you have any special comments you would like to make about your experience with the experiments, do not hesitate to respond. Alternatively, anyone is welcome to express interest for participation in future trial runs. Though be warned, I am rather picky about who I choose, so you had best be competent!

[Clearly men clad in pink and flowers with reaper motifs should never be trusted.

Thankfully he's being rather harmless right now though!]

Isn't she? I'm quite fond of this entire evolutionary line. Sylph here is the earliest stage in the line.

[The tiny sparkling fairy Pokemon waves when she's mentioned. Gardenia meanwhile is blushing at Naminé's compliment.]

[shatterings]

[ Don't worry, she's plenty wary. But the Pokémon just look so nice. Conflicting emotions are a pain sometimes. Regardless, Naminé returns the wave. Meanwhile, her Minccino is peering into the screen from her perch on Naminé's shoulder. ]

Oh... she's cute... and she has such a nice name.

[ortion]

My, you're going to give them both inflated egos at this rate!

[Not that he minds. There's nothing wrong with a healthy ego in his mind. Plus, he really does enjoy seeing how excited and bashful his two fairies are getting over these compliments.]

Are you considering getting one of your own now? The first stage is called Flabébé, in case you didn't know.

[shatterings]

Is that a bad thing? [ Confidence isn't a bad thing, she thinks, but it's hard for her to come by. Well, he doesn't seem to mind too much... ]

Flabébé? I might... [ There's just so many different types, from what she can tell. She's not sure she could decide which ones to raise. Especially if they're all this cute. ]

[ortion]

No, not at all. If I am to be completely honest, I believe they could use some more confidence anyway.

[It's around this time that he allows the fairies to go back to floating amongst the flower bouquets.]

I can assure you that you will not be disappointed, should you decide to get one of your own. In addition to being beautiful, they are also quite powerful. With Fairy types being fairly new, you also have the factor of mystery added in.

[shatterings]

Well... I'm glad I can help. [ Even just a little bit. Somehow, that really doesn't seem surprising; those with the least imposing appearances sometimes have the greatest strength. Sora, for example, honestly. ]

Mm... I'll watch for one. [ A pause. Fairly new? ] Are... new types found often?

[ortion]

[He rubs his chin as he mulls that over.]

That I'm not sure of, though apparently Fairy is the latest type to be discovered in quite some time. Some have been here longer than I and yet this is also their first experience with a brand new type.

[shatterings]

[ Huh. So it's not that frequent. Naminé nods, patting her Minccino's head. ]

I see... I'm sure it was a big surprise. [ If Dist is paying attention, he might see Naminé's cheeks take on a very soft pink tinge. Introduction is a little late, but better late than never, right? ] Oh... I'm Naminé.

[ortion]

I imagine so! It seemed to impact the native residents of Johto and Kanto the most- naturally they've been present in this world far longer than any of us. Many Pokemon already in the area they thought they knew everything about turned out to be part Fairy themselves!

[That had to have been super disorienting...and also frustrating that such a secret was hidden right under their noses.

...Ah, right. An introduction would be good at this point, wouldn't it? He offers a half-bow, as he's still sitting. But it's the thought that counts, right?]

A pleasure, Miss Naminé. I am Dist the Rose, though you are welcome to simply call me Dist.

Have you been here very long? I'm getting the sense that you must have arrived after last September to not have known about the Kalosian invasion.

[shatterings]

So there are... other regions in this world? [ Seems like this is a bigger place than she though. Just how many other places are there? Naminé's curiosity is only increasing more and more. ]

I-it's nice to meet you, too. [ Okay, more politeness, but it's not as new as it used to be. Still unexpected, but everyone here seems to share that in common. She'll just have to get used to it. ] No... I haven't been here long at all. For only a few weeks. Kalosian invasion?

[ortion]

There are, though we non-natives only have access to Johto and Kanto. We recently received a short trip to Kalos-a region across the sea-via jet, but it would be extremely difficult to fly there on our own via Pokemon. It's unfortunate too, because it seemed like such a lovely place.

[But he'll digress on that since Naminé wasn't really there to experience it.

He nods to Naminé's question, preparing an explanation.]

Last September, Pokemon native to Kalos invaded the Johto and Kanto in swarms. Some have taken up residence in the regions since then. Fortunate for you if you plan to capture any, since you weren't here for the original swarms.

[shatterings]

[ She nods as she takes that all in--well, at least it's fairly possible to travel to other places. ]

I see... so... many new Pokémon arrived all at once... it seems like that would have been overwhelming. [ It's already pretty overwhelming, honestly. ] Do you... know how many different Pokémon there are? It must be quite a lot.
