[An 'unfamiliar' face projects through the Pearls... except if you look closely, it's not that unfamiliar. The shape of the plumes on his head carry the same general silhouette as a certain Rookidee...

But now he's larger, longer, and has a noticeably bigger beak. In fact, he looks far more like a crow than he did before!

And so Akechi fluffs up his feathers a bit and addresses the Pearl at last.]

Greetings. This is Akechi. I realize that this transformation may be a bit alarming, but I thought it best to announce my recent evolution so that no one believes I've disappeared.

This new form is far more suitable, though I wish it hadn't been so overdue. Still, it seems that being put into highly dangerous situations is one way to provoke evolution.

I suppose this does bring up a curious question, though. To evolve, or not to evolve. For me, it was a no brainer, but others may be less enthused about changing their physical forms yet again. Evolution is, after all, irreversible.

So humor me. Do you wish to evolve, or are you content as you are?

Violence is my element.

[It's said without a hint of sarcasm.]

Really, there was something almost nostalgic about it.

Golly, I guess we're all lucky that you're such a good person now. [This is said with more than a hint of sarcasm.]

Even if I wasn't, I'd still play the part. It would be advantageous within this world.

[Ha...]

But I'd rather leave the Detective Prince facade behind.

You've succeeded in at least half of it! [Prince? Debatable. Detective? He's the one with a conspiracy board in his dorm.] What do you think, Watson? Why do you think the teleporters didn't work on us 'other world' Pokemon? I'm dying to hear your conclusions, here!

It may have to do with our physiological properties. Something inherently different by virtue of us being transported and transformed.

[It's a stretch, but it's the only thing that really comes to mind, except...]

That, or gross incompetence.
