Mm. There's a type of creature here in Goldenrod called an Eevee that can evolve into different forms depending on the method used. I've heard it's common to study them. I'll catch one for you.

[deathknightdestroyer]

So then certain Pokémon require specific situations to change? I wonder how people stumbled upon them! Are humans required to enact them? From what I'm seeing in this book, while they do live in the wild, these creatures and humans have a highly cooperative relationship.

Oh! That- sounds wonderful. Thank you, Felix.

[bestswordmaster]

I just couldn't stand to see you flail around trying to fend off wild Pokemon with nothing but a blob, that's all.

[Sure, Felix. That's the only reason. You can't just be nice or anything.]

In Azalea, the people let dozens of notoriously stupid pink lizards live all over their town, wherever they want. You can hardly walk down the street without tripping over one. Here in Goldenrod, there's some kind of...thunder ghost that possesses devices to take on different forms, they're everywhere. But those forms aren't permanent.

As for evolution, the only ways I've seen it happen so far is through training and experience or with special stones or items. If there are other ways, I don't know what they are.

[A pause.] Oh. I suppose you were bound to find out eventually. But there are ghost Pokemon here.

[deathknightdestroyer]

Since when do I flail around? The nerve, honestly.

[ She sounds offended but she looks fond. ]

It sounds like they really live hand in hand with nature. It's admirable, honestly. Maybe there's something for us to learn from it... as inconvenient as large lizards may possibly be.

[ And then "ghost" register, and while she tries not to, she freezes instantly.

How fast can she leave?! ]

That- that's utterly ridiculous! What does that even mean!?

[bestswordmaster]

I assume the Pokemon would be doing all the flailing.

[He scoffs.] Cats are fine, but horses and wyverns can stay in their stables where they belong. Pokemon are a lot smarter than ordinary animals. ...usually.

It is ridiculous. [He agrees completely.] And I have no idea what it means. I met someone who claims to be the Prince of his world's afterlife, and he doesn't even know what it means.

[He pulls out a pokeball and brings out his Doublade.] But this is a ghost possessing two swords. ...his name is Zoltan.

[deathknightdestroyer]

No! No, I REFUSE to be part of this-

[ And you can see her getting out of the chair, picking up her milcery and walking away off screen in a hurry. And maybe it is a childish reaction, but like. Despite her fears, she never actually had to deal with ghosts. And now she does. Go easy on her?

After a considerable pause, once can likely hear the sound of light but rushed footsteps before Lysithea returns to view, glaring at the camera. ]

This is utter nonsense!!

[bestswordmaster]

[Felix blinks blankly at the Gear as she just...gets up and runs off. But he's used to her enough by now to know she'll probably be back, so he just waits.

It is. There's a lot of nonsense here. Like the nurses and law enforcers, who are all just...copies of the same person, somehow.

[The ghost swords are still just...floating there, waving their tassels about ominously.]

Where did you go?

[deathknightdestroyer]

There's admittedly not many places to go...

[ They're unnerving. She dislikes them. She won't- she won't say that she hates them, because it's hardly their fault that they're awful little monsters, but she dislikes them a lot. ]

What a strange place we've been brought to. I can only hope that it's worth the experience.
