[Do y'all remember that old man that got hit in the face with a stick by his starter? He's back, though this time he's left holding the camera up to his Elgyem and her psychic powers, which produces a much more stable feed and leaves his hands free. It works quite well. Eleanor is a wonderful little assistant now that she's not throwing things at him.]

Greetings, all. I will cut straight to the point: is it possible to delay or even permanently halt evolution in a Pokémon? I would like to conduct an experiment as to the effects of such a thing on Pokémon growth, but first it will be necessary to determine if it's possible in the first place.

[The 'dex didn't have the information he needed, but it's really just a basic field-guide and not an in-depth informational source. It looks like he's already caught a potential test subject: a Starly sits on his shoulder, looking supremely unbothered at the prospect of being a guinea pig. Do guinea pigs even exist in this universe? He doesn't think so.

God, this place is great.]

[Remember that blue haired chick that talks to people in an overly friendly way?

Even if you didn't, she's here on screen again--it looks like she's mixing something up in a bowl, at first doing it herself to show the little Phantump next to her, then passing the whisk over so it can continue.

The reason for this becomes apparent when Botan pushes the bowl away--there's an egg in her apron pocket and she needs her hands free to adjust the camera.]

Hello, all! Botan here with a proposition for anyone looking for a job: you can work for my shop at Honeyed Soul!

[Obviously it's the background of a kitchen where what looks like a Charizard is busy with toasting some buns.]

Killua is away on his League challenge and there's been a turnover as of late, so I'm always ready to take on new employees. "But Botan," you might say, "I can't even cook!"


Well, that's all right, I can only bake things myself, but you don't need to cook to work for the shop! There's tons of different ways to contribute--deliveries, taste testing, advertisements, maintenance--even taking care of the little ones around here if you want.

[The Little Ones meaning another Phantump wearing a bowtie that floats past, a clipboard in its stubby hands.]

Another thing I wanted to bring up is I'm ready to start taking requests for anyone that needs a Pokemon bred. I can provide a list of my Pokemon if you're interested in that, and if you're interested in a job, well...just talk to me! That's all, thank you.
