"Hey, this is Dr. Peter Venkman- I'm probably busy. If you're calling about something stupid done by a Dr. Egon Spengler or a Dr. Ray Stantz, I'm sorry for whatever they did. Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

But how could something as simple as the transferal of "ownership" trigger such an extreme change in a Pokémon? I was under the impression that most evolutionary triggers involve something regarding energy or experience, but this--

[He pauses, watching as Faraday gratefully takes the ring toss toy and makes a small noise of contentedness. She begins to press the buttons on the bottom of the toy, watching as the rings float up and down. She then looks at Egon, waving the toy enthusiastically at him.]

...Yes, I see it. It's an interesting toy, is it not? [He inches closer to her, frowning.] Do you remember anything about your past life now?

[Faraday pauses for a moment, her "eyebrow" furrowing as she thinks. After a few moments, she shakes her head slowly, tapping a claw against her face. Egon leans back, a little disappointed.]

I see. Thank you, anyways.

[Sigourney happily gets to work on the Rubik's cube, levitating it and spinning the tiles telekinetically.]

I dunno, Spengs. This place is weird. I think there's a Pokemon that evolves when you spin it in a bottle.

[Venkman watches the exchange between Egon and Faraday, frowning.]

Hey, don't worry about it, kid. Past life memories are overrated. If you figure something out, cool. Otherwise don't stress over it.

Yes, but at least that involves some sort of energy being utilized--kinetic and potential energy--whereas this is seemingly instantaneous and unassisted.

[He then pauses.]

Maybe not the best idea to say that around the creature that can erase people's memories.

[Faraday thinks over Venkman's words, then nods thoughtfully. She then points a curious claw at Sigourney, making a quiet questioning noise. Memories?]

[neverstudied]

... Good point.

[He winces, glancing over at Sigourney. She briefly looks up at Faraday's question, but she's currently too invested in the Rubik's Cube to give a proper reply.]

Thank God for Rubik's cubes, man.
