[video 1]

[Rideaux's post today begins with some immediate action. Specifically, blinding white light. Looks like Rideaux's decided to record an evolution in progress! A faint form can be seen in the light. It's sword-shaped, which could only point to one particular Pokemon that appeared back in September. What might not be expected, however, is that the form splits completely, becoming two identical sword-shaped forms.

When the light fades, the result is a pair of twin swords floating alongside each other.

...One of them immediately begins swinging itself erratically though, apparently getting used to its existence. So the video cuts off there without any commentary from the poster.]

[video 2]

Ahem, well, I didn't see that one coming.

[The second post comes an hour or so later, once everything has gotten under control. The twin swords are still present, though they seem to be much more behaved. The music for Route 32 continues to chime on despite the chaos that just went down not too long ago.]

Now I know this is a strange world of sentient keyrings and trash bags, but I was not expecting a possessed sword to evolve, let alone practice self-reproduction.

[The man has clearly not seen a Magneton or Metang before.

Finally, Rideaux shows himself on camera. It's a wonder he wasn't present in the camera's eye the entire time, with how much he loves showing off. He runs a gloved hand along the blade of one of the swords, smirking all the while.]

The new blade appears to be an exact replica of the original, capable of performing the same moves. It has its own mindset but is able to attack in sync with the original. In fact, they don't seem to be able to use an actual move on their own; they must work together.

[He lets his hand slide up closer to the second sword's hilt, but doesn't stop to grab it.]

As ridiculous as the entire concept of a sentient sword evolving is, I won't complain. I've always believed that two swords are far more superior than one anyway, and if they're as good at swordplay as their PokeDex entry implies, all the better.

But while I'm here, I'll throw out a question for those of you in the possession of one of these swords, or perhaps the evolved form that I have here. Has anyone successfully wielded one without it retaliating in some way? I've no clue if this...Doublade, I believe it's called? is accepting of the practice since I've yet to try, but I don't intend to anytime soon. Soulcutter performed well enough without guidance when he was a Honedge.

I'm simply curious is all.

[He's...probably lying, but hey, he doesn't want to reveal his strategies on the network! That would ruin the surprise!

And much like his previous video, he offers a half-bow to signal the end of this video. ...The swords might've bowed too, or at least mimicked the movement a little bit.]

[Today, a well-dressed man with a lovely black boa is gracing your screen, network. He's lounging in a PokeCenter near a window. The sun's just about to finish its descent, so it's practically night time. Apparently someone's about to turn in after a day full of training! Maybe...?]

Ah, there we are. Hello.

I've only been here for a little under a week, and I simply must ask...has anyone else here been dealing with a large difference in technology from their own world?

[He begins to play with a Pokeball in between the fingers of his free hand.]

You see, I am a doctor, and I've found that many of my healing techniques have been rendered useless because of the difference in technology here. However, there seems to be a machine that heals the monsters in a similar fashion... [Suddenly a frown crosses his face.] Unfortunately, the nurses here were reluctant to to divulge how it works.

[He shakes his head, pretty disappointed about it.]

A pity, that. I certainly hope we humans aren't being put on the back burner when it comes to healthcare. I'll have to look into it further.

But I digress. Please, feel free to tell me your technology woes. If you happen to have more information about healthcare in this world, feel free to bring that up as well. I would be very interested to hear about it.

[He gives a small half-bow from his resting position, and before ending the feed...]

Do have a good night.

( later, a Rocket video! )
