After reading up on a department store in Lilycove City, where they sell furniture for Secret Bases, the group decides to fly to Hoenn, with Leo temporarily taking the scarf off Automa's arm, making him turn back into a Golurk so they could fly there.
During the flight to Lilycove, Cerbeau and Leo were trying to make Automa calm down, who was still unresponsive, but flew the team there nonetheless.
At Lilycove City...
Leo: Okay...where's that department store?
Cerbeau: <Hmm...> *looks around, then points* <Pretty sure it's somewhere over there.>
Leo: Okay, then lets get moving! *runs in that direction*
Cerbeau: *gives the orange scarf back to Automa, tying it back on his arm the same way Leo did*
Human!Automa: *follows along with Cerbeau, but doesn't talk*
Cerbeau: <This is just until Rocky melts out!> *no response from Automa* <...This is kinda like getting him a brother! ...Or sister.>

Mauville airport hotel
Lila walked through the nearby gardens to a quiet place where she could let out her pokemon. There was also a convenient pond so she could release her mantine too.Lila:Come on out, everyone!
All of her pokemon popped out of their pokeballs.
Marie: <Finally! That was a long time to be cooped up in my pokeball!>
Lila:Sorry about that! there was no place where it would have been safe to let you out!
Marie:-to the other mons-<Wait, did I miss something? I could have sworn Lila just understood me.>
Isla: <It would seem so. Don't you think so too, tutti?>
Tutti: <Yeah, either that or we're all dreaming the same thing.>
Remi: <That does seem unlikely, but if we are, then how about I wake you all up!>
Remi proceeded to squirt everyone in the face with water.
Yubie: <Ack! What was that?! Am I under attack?>
Sapphire: <Hey! Cut that out or you will ruin my beautiful wings!>
Lila giggled.
Lila: So this is what goes on when this happens! It's like a soap opera!
Lila's mons turned to stare at her.
Lila: Oh, yes! I called all you guys out here to show you something super cool! Watch this!
Lila pulled the scarf out of her bag and tied it round her wrist, turning again into a cleffa.
Cleffa!Lila: <Look at me! I'm a cleffa now!>
Marie: <Woah..>
Remi: <Cool!>
Isla: <Cuute!>
Tutti: <Interesting...>

You what now? She what now? Do I need to seal that Mimikyu into a rock and dump him in the [Challenger Deep] like Xatu and those teleporters did with Yggdrasil?
Anyway... The Demon Mutagen... turned humans into things like these Imps◊, or the Namahage here◊ and here◊. (Incidentally Tangent's distantly descended from one of them who I encountered in battle.)
Mons... they either got turned grotesque or they got bigger, like Rosa (Lina's Ninetales). Then there were Umbra's Demon Generals, they took to it especially well.
Spider Queen, Crimson Helm, Orochi, Blight, Ninetails (The spelling is important), the twin devils Lechku and Nechku... Yami, we defeated them all.
(Orochi and Yami found some Demon Mutagen on Mt. Moon like thousands of years ago, we're talking "in the time of myths" here, and used their newfound power to destroy the Moon Tribe's sister civilization, the Celestials, in their search for the Lunar Pendant. Then they came to the Ghost Lord's court after Orochi got defeated and Umbra's Ghost Obscura allowed him to mass produce it, so they formed a partnership)
Shit's dangerous Ever, and not just in this timeline, Umbra and I have some theories of what it might've been used for in that alternate universe, the one where humans got turned into mons.

From: Tagg
Back in 2012, or I guess 2612 if the time difference is an approximate rather than estimated 600 years, we found out that back during the Dragon War Angelan scientists (Might've even been... those two) managed to create a Forced Evolutionary Virus, or FEV, that turns humans and mons into these giant green mons called Super Mutants.
(Though the Nightkin were more greyish)
Guy named Richard Grey found it way later and became a being known as the Master, and then he created this group called the Unity who wanted to turn all Angela into Super Mutants.
While we believe that FEV is likely derived from the Demon Mutagen, it's vastly inferior.
Super Mutants might be stronger, but the process makes most pure mons mentally impaired, so they preferred to get humons and humans they popped out of the Vaults.
Only the Master really managed to match any of the Generals in power, and we basically managed to get rid of him by showing him the Super Mutants were sterile (Unlike the original) and him deciding to blow up his Cathedral with himself inside with a nuke.
(The Generals... Yami and Orochi especially were more like legendaries than even the strongest of mortal mons in terms of powers)
Before we managed to fell his Lieutenant a few days later he mentioned that when they were done in Angela they were going to cut a bloody swath across the former [United States] to get at the Entralink in Unova, and attempt conquering the multiverse and turning everyone into one of them.
(Something they most likely would've failed at, the legendaries would've had to do something about them, but something I'm glad we nipped in the bud.)

~Illusions, pokemon that learned the move transform, freaks of science and nature.~
Delta nodded and turned to the Peon, "Prepare a dropship instantly, this will be a interesting capture."
The Peon saluted and ran off, "Zatara. Gather the others."
Zatara grinned and snapped his fingers, vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Delta set about checking that he had his tools on hand and looked at the new model petrifier, it was different from the arm mounted cannons of old, it would prove... interesting.
-Silently the Dark One pulls out a small green stone and throws it up in the air. The stone floats for a moment...-
-... Before falling to the dirt.-
Rumplestiltskin: What.
-Rumple repeats trying to activate the tracer spell several before summoning the Dark One Dagger to his hand and pointing at nearby boulder.-
-The boulder is blasted apart, leaving a flat surface facing the irate being. Rumple points the dagger at the green stone, causing the stone to glow a faint purple. After a brief moment the stone flies at the newly created stone surface and traces a series of lines that glow green, taking the shape of a galleon.-
Rumplestiltskin: -waving the dagger- Where?
-A series of runes and images appear, which the Dark One seems to understand.-
Rumplestilskin: This is good news. Now I think it's time I see a mermaid about meeting a kraken.
Rumplestultskin: Please. This one is even more stupid than the other...
-The Dark One casually snaps and the lock disappears and the chest opens.-
-Striding forward, the Dark One smiles victoriously at the large emerald sitting on top of the other gold and jewels. Rumplestiltskin comically looks to his left and to his right.-
Rumplestiltskin: Well then. Since no one is here, I'll help myself.
-Rumplestiltskin grabs the emerald and lifts out of the box. But no sooner has the Dark One turned around to leave, does the emerald fly out of his hand and returns to the top of the pile of treasure in the chest.-
Rumplestiltskin: What in the...
-The Dark One tries to take the emerald several more times, but he can't disappear nor move it more than a step way from the chest, nor could the chest be moved itself.-
-Now extremely irritated, the Dark One sprinkles some unknown dark substance on the chest, creating a small, swirling gray cloud to form.-
-This obviously meant something to Rumpletstilkin, because the Dark One looked livid.-
Rumplestiltskin: -slightly composing himself- Well played, dearie. But I can't imagine every man on this wreck to be the steadfastly loyal type...

The dropship lands and Delta steps off putting on his helmet, tactical feeds on, Peons behind him, Mazinger beside him.
"Well, there's the target location... now to find the Mighteyana."
One of the Peons spoke up, "Sir the request also said the target may take human shape."
Delta looked over everyone and quirked a brow, "Well then. Good thing we have new tools."
The team approached the building, Delta tosses a few of the Scanners into the air and they take flight, flying into the daycare, soft blue light coming from their scanning beams as they float about.

Ammy exhaled, glad to have that one squared away, her shirt accordingly bearing the “名” character.
She stayed silent as Al explained things. “Where to?” She demanded as the shirt started bouncing through four different kanji: 東、西、北、南.
Xatu materialized, meeting Amy’s gaze. She shook her head, realizing that she was moving too fast for reason. <We will probably go soon, but I do not think that your desire to do this quickly will be very conducive to victory.>
“You can’t think of why,” the human fox deadpanned, her shirt going from its slowing cycle into “思”.
<Just don’t be so excitable,> he summarized.

“So, are we going to get that Rabbid into custody or...?” Colt asked as he returned Sylveon and grabbed the Orange Scarf as it drifted down. He stuffed it in his pocket and summoned a reticule from everyone’s vantage that had the Rabbid with the visor in the middle.
