#The return of Sophie's Team bag that never gets referenced in her official art (My excuse? It's (inventory) hyperspace.)

[team-pokefriends]

Delasol@Sophie: You know, when it comes to other slowpoke: do they ever nudge certain slowpokes to evolve in certain directions? Or is there no pressure?

[Sophie puts her right hand on her chin and thinks as she faces the Dusknoir.]

[Sophie] "I dunno. From what I can guess from hearing other Slowkings, their parents wanted them to be Slowkings. They did anything they could to get their hands on a Kings Rock, and those ain't easy to find."

[She then puts her hands on her hips.]

[Sophie] "My parents just had one of those lyin' around. They gave me the option to evolve, and here I am now. So, yeah, guess it depends on the parents."

[Xerneas leans their head in with curiosity.]

[Xerneas] "Excuse me, but about those parents that wanted their kids to be Slowkings, did they not give them the same option your parents gave you?"

[Sophie looks back to Xerneas.]

[Sophie] "Doesn't sound like it. They probably went like-"

[Sophie brings her white bag out and holds it out like she's talking to someone shorter than her.]

[Sophie] "Hey, you wanna be a Slowking?"

[She then swings her bag back around her shoulder, looks at Delasol and then at Xerneas, and then shrugs.]

[Sophie] "Somethin' like that."

[Xerneas brings their head back and squints.]

[Xerneas] "Hm..."
