"You . . . could say that," Poinsettia said, nodding along. "Though, it's more like a form of 'evolution' as the professors and trainers say it back at home. Basically it's kind of like growing up in Pokémon terms!"

Well . . . maybe not quite on their own terms, now isn't it? Sure, they age like any other Pokémon, but not to the ever-changing extent most regular creatures go through.

Thoughtfully, Poinsettia then followed up with a few more words of their own.

"In my case, however, it's more like what humans call a 'costume change'!"

Almost there . . .

"Well, if the 'costume change' is there to help us get to places that our Land Forme would've normally been restricted by, that is!"

There they go!

"And speaking of looks . . ." Poinsettia then began to look around for a clock, confusion now settling onto their facial expressions as they whirled their body around, "Do you know what time it is today? As amazing as it will be for me to stay in this form forever, I can only stay in this form during the day as I'll eventually turn back into my Land Forme the moment the sun sets."

Poinsettia then hopped off of the table and floated down to stand right next to the pot of pink flowers, "Which was partially why I asked about how you've gotten a hold of those Gracidea flowers! I'm legitimately surprised that they would show up in the middle of the mall like that . . . and with that in mind . . . does anyone live in the same room as you do? I think I can help you out on setting those flowers up if you want!"
