While Nincada's muscles are warmed up, its body is still flecked with frost and its body temperature is still low. Ventus thinks he needs a way to simulate summer here, in addition to providing that battle.

The researcher *Snapped!* his fingers as the solution to the gelid insect's plight came to him in a burst of Insight, causing him to break out into a smile once more as he regarded the Nincada. "Now I see why you've haven't yet evolved, despite clearly being ready for it: the current environmental conditions are preventing it, and your still frigid despite your spar! Hmm......I believe I may have a solutions for both situation, if you permit."

Saying this, Ventus recalls both Michael and Malphena and summons Raphael and Lucifer in their place, before rummaging through his satchel for a bit and pulling out a fluffy green tweed sweater identical to the one he's wearing!

"Now, with your consent, I could let you snuggle in this *motions with his hand holding the sweater* to help raise core body temperature, while my Togekiss uses Morning Sun to produce some artifical sunlight and my Noibat uses Tailwind to simulate summer time conditions in order to head aid in your Evolution! Failing that, I'm willing to accept you into my care and escort you to the surface myself to enable your evolution via that method, again if you allow. Are those acceptable choices, Nincada?

Order: Offer to warm them up with the sweater + create artificial summer condition with Raphael and Lucifer's combined aid, or take them in  WITHOUT catching them and simply caring for them until they Evolve or reach the surface, whichever comes first. Time to warm things up, maybe!

Morning Sun is a great way to warm up that sweater and thus, the Nincada!

The frost melts away, dampening the sweater a bit. This proves no obstacle to Nincada. The split in its skin grows wider - legs and wings start poking out. Evolutionary light masks the rest, but where Nincada had been is now a flying and agile Ninjask!

The skin of Nincada remains behind. Tiny licks of evolution's light play over the shed, lifting it upright and eventually forming a halo around it. The skin peels aside as it is drawn up into the tunnel Nincada cocooned in, forming little wings. The rare ghost Pokemon slowly phases through the rock, and a pleased humming noise follows its passage in the direction your party is heading. Finally, it fades from audibility.

Ninjask is still buzzing around, however, acting as though it didn't even see the extraordinary Shedinja. Now it will eat right out of Ventus' hand, and spends lots of time practicing its new powers as its wings dry out. 

Ventus gains 2XP.
