140th moon [video]

[paladinlost]

Applin evolves into Flapple when exposed to a Tart Apple, and into Appletun when exposed to a Sweet Apple. That's simple enough.


[You know what's a good place for a video transmission? The produce section of Celadon's most overpriced grocery store. Who cares if anyone else is trying to access the watermelons? Some questions need immediate answers.]


But does that still apply if they are cut in pieces, or blended into a smoothie? And what if you bake an apple pie using both types at once? Would the effects cancel each other out, or would the apple that most influences the taste win?


[A man's arm enters the camera's field of view, presumably to grab something off the display Cecil is blocking. Without paying much attention, he moves just enough to allow it through, without actually moving out of the way.]


There's the matter of Alcremie's sweets, too. They could easily be melted in a pan, then mixed together. Would a Milcery holding the resulting confection be able to evolve? Surely someone has tested it before.


[Barely visible over his shoulder, a Sneasler rolls her eyes. She traveled through time to listen to that?]

[Keldor hears you, man. He's a bit of a scholarly type himself, if of a more magical bent. And he'd love to test this out; see what comes of it.]

Then perhaps we may find ourselves relegated to taking whatever we get while hoping for the best, or collaborate with others in order to procure an adequate amount of test subjects.

[He just might be down for that. :>]

[paladinlost]

I'd not mind purchasing multiple stones in order to compare them.

[His wallet would weep, certainly, but raising too many additional Pokémon would be more of an issue?]

I wonder if a Sableye or a Carbink would be discerning enough to identify impurities, if no other method can be found?

[behindblueskin]

[The things we do... ...for science...

Sableye? Carbink?

Keldor hastily checks his pokedex.

Ah. Yes. Right then.]

Both would be suitable, but I think it might be safer to employ the services of a Carbink, lest one is willing to lose the stone to a Sableye.

[paladinlost]

Oh, Shadowbind is well-trained. She'd never take a stone without permission.

[A beat, because that's not entirely correct.]

Very possibly out of fear that a stranger might see her, mind you, so having external supervision would be ideal.

[behindblueskin]

Oh I was not aware you were offering one of your own.

[He had been thinking that the experiment would require a caught pokemon; just, one that would be caught in future, not caught in the past.]

In which case it sounds like she would be an ideal candidate.

[A Sableye wouldn't eat the equivalent of junk food, would it?]

[paladinlost]

One of the advantages of training a large, eclectic team is that they can cover a wide variety of situations and skills.

[Like gemstone analysis, apparently.]

As long as she can hide beneath furniture, she'll be happy to cooperate.
