[The weather was weird, sure, but Phi's always happy to be wearing short skirts sans leggings again, and she's looking far more comfortable in her video now than she ever would have during December, even snuggled in her winter coat as she was. With weather like today's, she doesn't even have to regret her perch of choice! Even though her perch is a chilly Glalie floating a few inches off the ground.]

I need a Leaf Stone and a Sun Stone -- I have the money to pay for them, and you'll get something for your troubles, too, if that helps.

[She seems to consider something for another few seconds, then directs her attention to the 'gear once more.]

If you have a Vileplume or Bellossom yourself, I wouldn't mind hearing about them. I'm sure Venus would appreci --

[A fwip! of paper being brandished interrupts her, and she sets the 'gear in her lap so she can inspect the offering. With the sun, it's easy to see through the back that it reads 'VENIS AND PHI' in crayon with the writing of a small child, and includes a heart.]

Close. This one here's a 'U', the smiley one. Remember? V-E-N-U-S.

[A determined hum fades as Phi picks up the device and shuts it off. They got the idea.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I can purchase both stones for you and send them from Celadon, if you wish. It'd take longer for you to receive them, but as I have a 41% discount in every store it'd be less expensive than usual.

That's quite the discount... Though to be honest, I'm not really sure how much they're supposed to cost in the first place.

[Hmmmn.]

How long do you think it would take?

The cost for Leaf Stones was greatly lowered years ago, but Sun Stones still have a base price of P8000. As for the time it'd take... About two or three days, perhaps? I'm half expecting a sudden storm to fall on us, so I cannot be certain.

Because of how nice it's been getting?

[That would certainly suck. But unfortunately she can't put it past this world, either...]

I won't mind having to wait a couple of days -- she needs a bit more training to complete her movelist, anyway.

Indeed. Considering some of the past few winters, we'll surely be hit by great quatities of snow soon. Is your Gloom looking forward to her evolution?

I hope not.

[She likes this weather.]

I guess so. Contrary to the species name, she always seems...happy. She's certainly not opposed to it, anyway.

But she's not quite sure which of the two she favors yet? Since you requested both stones. I imagine it must be a difficult choise to make.

Not yet. Besides, it can't hurt to have both on hand. Maybe I'll find a use for whichever one I don't use in the future.

Oh, and you'll only need to buy the Sun Stone. Someone else is supplying me with the Leaf Stone.

A Sun Stone it is, then. It'll be much easier to find a purpose for either of them than for a Dawn Stone, at any rate.

Snorunt can evolve using a Dawn Stone. [She hadn't gone that route, but...] Is that uncommon?

[He nods.]

The only other Pokémon that can use it are male Kirlias, if you favor Gallade over Gardevoir.

...Is there a reason that both cases are gender-specific?

There might be, but I've no idea what it is. Other species have evolutions that depend on gender or evolutions from multiple stones, but only the Dawn Stone has both.
