[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!

Oh my, two swords now, is it? You know, I vaguely recall seeing one of these before- do the swords act separately or is it a single mind between them?

[It's always interesting to see Pokemon like this. He's trained some Magnetons and Klinks, and they all act differently.]

As for its evolution...do you have a vague idea of what level he may be? If he's past 50, I'd say that his evolution is going to require some creativity. A stone perhaps, or trading. The possibilities aren't limited to those, but they're the most common.

They can act separately, though they largely seem to be controlled by the same mind. Much as someone can use their hands separately... still, some days I wonder.

I... believe he is. Evolutionary stones aren't something I have... experience with. My travel partner does, but... only with Fire stones and that doesn't seem likely with him. I've seen a trade evolution once in my Pokemon... but not since. I've... tried that with him, so I guess... a stone is the only option. I'm... at a loss as to which it might be, though.

I see...though you seem hesitant to use that analogy? Is it more like a balance between in and out of sync then?

Would you mind reminding me its typing? Perhaps I can offer a few suggestions for you to try. I like to think of myself as something of a budding expert on this subject.

Something... along those lines, yes. I can't be totally sure. It's not like I'm inside his head, after all.

Steel. Steel and Ghost, though... he's only learned one ghost-type move so far.

Hmmm.

[He rubs at his chin, running different scenarios in his mind as he puzzles out possible evolution methods.]

Normally I might suggest a Metal Coat, though considering it's already Steel type, that might not work. Ghost types seem to respond well to Dawn Stones and Dusk Stones, so you may want to look into those. It could also utilize a completely new item that isn't widely known at this time, but let us hope that it's something that can be readily accessed instead.

I'll... take a look. My budgeting is a bit constrained at times due to the... lower pay grade here than I'm used to.

[Engineers and architects aren't really needed here when buildings can't be put up and torn down as fast.]

But I should be able to... round up a few things. It's time I took on the gym here anyway.

Ah- that's right, they are quite expensive, aren't they?

[He says it as though he figures they're expensive for others, when in reality he hasn't had to worry about price in a long time. Being a high-ranking member of Team Rocket has its perks, and free research material is one of them.]

Well, I wish you the best of luck with your savings, and the gym I suppose. Who will you be facing?

The next one is... Whitney, I think. So I should train... fighting types.

[He needs to get fighting types, to start.]
