[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.]

[Rocket text]

[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!

Yes, there was. Apparently it involves some sort of bottle that you have to stick them in and shake? Which sounds absolutely absurd, but apparently it's true.

That was the one I had in mind, but... eugh, no, it's not, is it? And... yes. Really, I'm glad I heard about that particular peculiarity of Froslass's evolution method before I stumbled upon it myself, as it would've been a bit... unsettling otherwise.

[...not that he'd be too torn up about it, but it's still kind of messed up.]

And that's good to know, really. I suppose it's convenient not to have the weakness to Ice and to have the full resistance to Fire, so it's not too much of an issue.
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

Exactly.

You stick them in the bottle, shake it around, open it up, and they evolve.

...I suppose it's not any more or less nonsensical than just giving them some sort of stone, but it's... certainly something.
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

To be fair, it could always have something to do with the material the bottle is made of. Perhaps the inside of it is treated with something before it's put out on the market, and shaking it with the Inkay inside is the best way to trigger the reaction...?

[trying to figure this out absolutely isn't futile at all]
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

No, I don't think so. I'd imagine it's definitely one of those sorts of things that is ludicrously common in another region and just suddenly got imported here completely without fanfare.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's something that existed beforehand but was extremely difficult or impractical to use. Who even knows, though... we'll probably never get a straight answer.
enjoymyatelier: zach. they're here. (migrane's a comin.)

Honestly, I have to wonder if any answers we theoretically would get would be satisfying or if they'd just make things even more inscrutable than they already are.

Like extraterrestrials or... something.
