-Deziree leans in to hear Every. Not because she has tinnitus or anything - her eardrums are as indestructible as her liver - but because she's not used to whispering.-

PEFE!Every: Sorry. I can speak up a little.
-this is said in a voice maybe a decibel up from usual-
-she gives Jacob's arm one more poke, just for fun-
PEFE!Every: Okay, this should work then! I'll need some blood, and you're going to need something to eat!
-there is a Mimikyu here, not wearing a Latios sheet, but a regular Pikachu sheet-
-he's also holding up a big sign saying "KAITO AMARIN" in very nice calligraphy-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Jacob: "Go ahead. And I... Okay?"
"I'll make time to eat, yeah."
"But yeah, Dezi, meet Every. One of the sweetest and also most terrifyingly brilliant people I know. I feel like you two would get along."
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Deziree: Every? Oh- oh, you're the Every that Tagg refers to. I'm Deziree. I do all sorts of things. Like develop a serum that allows Pokemon to consume and metabolize glitchmatter.
Dimo: <ZZZZZZZ*BEEEELCH*ZZZZZZZZZZ>
Deziree: I really hope they outgrow that but anyway, pleased to meet you!

Nimbasa City
The scarf now in the dextrous fingers owned by Colt rather than Talbain's paws, he paused to look around and caught sight of a Mimikyu with a sign bearing Kaito's name.
He handed the scarves to Lucario, the Aura Pokemon electing to don the orange one for now.
He was no longer a bipedal jackal with the ability to sense aura. He looked more akin to someone a few years older than Colt with about the same level of combat experience. Read, he did not have a jacket, instead possessing a black track shirt. What was once baggy fur passing the illusion of shorts were now actual shorts with equivalent baggage.
He wore a pair of tennis shoes that were the same blue of his fur on the sides with the metallic color of his spikes.
His hair was a nondescript, smoothly-combed jet black that went down for a little longer than it should have, all punctuated with his Expert Belt turning into a pair of dark glasses held by the collar of his shirt.
With Muninn
Colt approached the Mimikyu. "You looking for Kaito, too?" He asked rhetorically.

Nimbasa City, Since Daydre Got Dumped Here Offscreen Following the Events of Hyul Island
Rowan: <Hey.. Isn't that party thing you mentioned coming up?>
Daydre, in the middle of doing something ambiguously artist-y, drops what she's holding.
".... Shit."
Rowan: <Oh, you forgot huh?>
"............. Maybe?"
Rowan: <-sigh- Well, at least you didn't miss it entirely. You didn't have anything you needed to do for it did you?>
"Not really. I just wanted to buy new shoes. The ones I have on me are.. Not very formal." She looks down at her boots. They were probably a lot nicer at some point, but now they're showing their age. And a couple oddly colored splotches.
Rowan: <Would anyone even care if you wore those?>
"Prrrobably not, at the end of the day. But they don't match my party outfit and people are probably gonna look at me funny."
Rowan: <.. -another sigh- Understandable (enough) reasoning. Okay, let's go shopping then.>
"Now?"
Rowan: <You wanna go now or an hour before the party? Because knowing you you'll forget about it if we don't do it now.>
"... Fair."
And so the two go on adventure to find a shoe store. Or a store that sells shoes. There's a distinction.

-PEFE!Every blushes-
PEFE!Every: That's kind. A pleasure to meet you, Deziree; that sounds quite brilliant. We'll have to discuss it at some point.
-she smiles, and then sticks a syringe in Jacob's arm, handing it off to Rotary, who vanishes with a click-
PEFE!Every: Seriously, eat before they get back. You need as much spare mass as you can manage.
Brie: Yeah, sure!
-she writes it down for Vee-
Brie: Call if you need anything!
Muninn: <Not especially. I just need you to tell them that their sister's gone into a portal in Lostlorn Forest.>

Nimbasa With Muninn
"Oh, you're that Mimkyu Sylveon played cards with," he realized. "Didn't know it was you without that Latios shroud," he admitted as he drew his phone.
From: Colton Rever
The Mimikyu with your sign wants to tell you your sister's wandered through a portal in Lostlorn Forest.
"Message sent, either he'll respond or come over." He sat himself down beside Muninn and reached a hand for the top of his disguise, willing to accept if the gesture would be unwelcome.

"Sure," Lucario conceded, handing her the blue scarf. "Be sure to give it back; we have no idea how to get to where we need to to get a replacement.

"Oh, hey. that store looks interesting." Daydre points at the Ersatz Alliance.
Rowan: <.. Okay, let's go in then?>
"... But what if I don't like anything and they judge me when I don't buy something?"
Rowan: <You're probably never going to see them again, I don't think they'll mind.>
".. Eh, fair."
And the two walk inside.

Jacob: "... Okay!"
-He removes the gauntlet on his right arm and starts tapping away at it once it projects a keyboard, and withdraws several granola bars and also a steak dinner because he is really really extra-
-After he's done in record time, he stops and looks at Every-
"... Wait is this going to hurt."

Channah: Since when d'you care about fashion.
Lo: <Never. But you wouldn't fit in with that outdated ace trainer outfit, and I know how much you hate being noticed. So. To the shops we shall go.>
Channah: Nerrrgh... It's dark out...

Daydre is startled by Mordred and jumps into Rowan's arms. Except Rowan doesn't have arms (that can hold her, anyway) so Daydre just ends up falling into the doorframe. Despite her awkward positioning, she notices Bartleby's question and turns to address him.
".. Uh, I came in looking for shoes. Maybe an accessory of some kind"
Route 16, far past
The Arm Beetle attempts to avoid the Solar Blade. It almost succeeds.
Almost.
One arm is left in the path of the attack. With the ease of a hot knife through butter, the Blade severs the arm cleanly off. The severed limb drops to the ground and bursts into smoke. After a pause the smoke disperses to reveal several passed out Machop where the arm should have been.
"Hey, what the fuck?!"
"That's not what I was expecting..."
Oh hey, those two are still here.
The Arm Beetle screams in rage, and doesn't seem to notice Morisot's Transformation. The Ice Beam and Aerial Ace do damage, but the Arm Beetle seems too mad to notice. Its hands glow with orange aura and it sweeps around, grabbing at anything it can to heal its wounds.
The bunny girl gets smacked by a hand and knocked back a ways, effectively distracting her for now.

Brie: See you!
-she waves-
Brie: ...I sure hope I wasn't supposed to keep any of that secret.
-she shrugs-
Brie: Oh well. They gave off good vibes, and it feels unfair keeping stuff this important to ourselves.
-Muninn accepts a couple pats before scampering away-
PEFE!Every: I wouldn't describe it as painful so much as profoundly uncomfortable. Essentially what I'm doing is conducting a factory reset of your body. It takes into account certain hormone levels and the basic existing body plan to ensure that, for instance, you don't come back as an infant, but it will repair most types of damage.
-PEFE!Every takes the syringe from Rotary and hands it to Jacob-
PEFE!Every: Inject this into yourself. Preferably not in public; I imagine nobody wants to see that.

"Okay, then," Colt observed as Muninn ran off. "Probably for the best," he admitted as he thought he developed a noseblood, but it was probably just his imagination.
