Hazard looks at the Feraligatr.

Hazard: <...Not ideal, but I'll deal.>

He tries Wing Attacking Bonnie.

Kaisei just stands still while Zatara searches him.

Zatara might find some sort of armband in Kaisei's pocket if he's looking for strange artifacts. It isn't currently being worn, though.

Lilycove Department Store, 4th Floor

Leo is currently looking at the selection of dolls, trying to remember where he saw that one doll he saw while they were looking for something for Automa. Of course, it's a doll of a Pokemon that is native to the Hoenn region, Duskull, but he doesn't exactly know that.

Female Employee: *noticing Leo looking around* Hello! Anything I can help you with?

Leo: *the female voice snaps him back to reality* Uhh... *looks at the employee* Yeah, uh, I was just looking for this doll.

Female Employee: *matter-of-fact tone* Well, we sell a bunch of 'em here. Do you remember what it looks like?

Leo: Yeah, *making various gestures* it was black, round, had bone-looking marks on the back...

Female Employee: Oh, *looking at the shelves, grabbing a doll and showing it to Leo* You mean this one?

Leo: Yep! I read about it, but I couldn't remember its name.

Female Employee: *hands the doll to Leo* Well, it's Duskull. They're native here.

Leo: Where would I be able to find one?

Female Employee: *walking to the checkout* Usually at Mt. Pyre, but they have been found at other places around here, mostly at night.

-Ever and Brie are leaving, Brie looking perfectly fine-

Brie: You really didn't have to do that.

Ever: -yawn- You would have.

Brie: Still!

Ever: Don't worry about it. Anyway, means I have my essay all done. Now I just need to find that shop again.

-he yawns again-

I could always try and summon them, but that seems impolite at best and fatal at worst.

Brie: ...What are you talking about?

Ever: Don't worry about it.

-he sends out Narrow and Merle-

Narrow: <What's going on?>

Merle: <I'm not working with them.>

Narrow: <Hey! Who even said he wanted us to work together?>

Merle: <My deductive skills. Which you don't have, which is why I'm not working with you.>

Narrow: <I cracked the case of the missing Silly Pidgey!>

Merle: <Maybe, but you certainly didn't solve it.>

Ever: Alright, you two, stop bickering. As we're all well aware, when you put two people with radically different problem-solving approaches on the same task, their personalities eventually strike a balance and a solution is found.

So I guess "Stop bickering" was probably not what I wanted. Go ahead and restart bickering, stopping when it feels natural. But also I need you to find a store run by Diancie.

Merle: <I think you're overlooking the more likely result of me ditching Narrow and finding your store on my own.>

Narrow: <Me too, honestly.>

Ever: Have some faith in yourself. Get going.

-the two birds grumble, flying off together-

Brie: Are you sure that was a good idea?

Ever: As sure as I usually am.

Brie: That bad, huh?

-there's a pecking on the door of the shop-

Merle: <You had a lucky break.>

Narrow: <Maybe you should listen to an informant once in a while.>

Merle: <Ambient spirits do not an informant make.>

Narrow: <Except when they do, I guess!>

Merle: <You didn't even know what city we were looking in until I—>

-...-

Merle: <...Crap. Ever was right.>

Narrow: <Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh.>

Denali opens the door and looks at the birds, "Huh."

They blink, "Ever looking for the store? I got a point on [Google Maps], it'd just take a quick search on the phone."

-Ever-

Ever: I mean, I never got the store name.

Narrow: <We solved the case!>

Merle: <...Yes. We did.>

Ever: Good work, you two.

-he holds out a small sheaf of paper to Denali-

"Wow I have got to stop accidentally summoning you. I know, I'll just say your name without a E, Aver, Evar... Evar... yes."

Denali smiled, "I coulda sworn I said the name once before."

They took the papers and started to look them over, "Get your friends, come in, there's tea, I need to properly grade this."

Denali stepped back inside.

Ever: Merle, Narrow, either of you want tea?

-Merle does, Narrow doesn't-

-Ever, meanwhile, follows Denali in, looking around for a place to sit-

-the essay goes on to discuss the technology of the Moon Civilization, and its destruction at the hands of Muninn and his sister. Cited sources include Muninn himself, with dates making clear that this was before the essay was set, Sunny's commentary on Muninn's love life, and a Latios spirit that may or may not have been raised from the dead to answer questions-

-the essay goes on to discuss Muninn's disappearance from the world for thousands of years, suggesting that it was most likely owing to grief over the destruction of the Moon Civilization. The essay here transitions primarily to a discussion of the Demon Mutagen and its effects throughout history, most notably the near-extinction of the Latios species, though with sidenotes regarding the possibility of its proliferation in alternate timelines. Sources include Tagg (cited as a PEFE Founder), the Holon museum discussing the events of the Conquest Arc, Ever's personal experience, and PEFE!Every's notes regarding applications of the Mutagen-

-finally, the essay covers the end of Muninn's life, his efforts to restore the Latii civilizations, and his eventual death. There aren't a lot of specific sources cited here, mostly Ever's personal experience in dealing with the Latios-

-there are also several images for purposes of elucidation. Mostly they're just candid shots of Muninn as a Mimikyu, who turns out to be rather camera-shy, though a couple of PEFE!Every's more coherent diagrams have made their way into the essay-

Denali looked over the essay a few times, finding bits and piece, marks to pick and occasional hiccups, you had to be thorough after all. The paper was competently put together and did cover everything very well, a good competent essay, Denali missed those from their days as a professor.

Denali stepped out and smiled at Ever, setting down the essay, 85% written on the top, "Congrats you passed."

-Ever watches curiously as Denali grades the paper-

-and breathes out a slight sigh of relief-

Ever: Alright then. Anything else you need from me?

-Merle sips some tea. Narrow produces a berry from their feathers and nibbles at it-

"Well, let's see who on your team can Mega-Evolve, bring em out please," Denali asked.

Ever: Alright, I—

-he pauses-

-...-

Ever: Just a moment, please.

-he quickly types some things into his phone, withdrawing four Pokeballs and an entire Altaria from his box-

Salamence: <Hey! What's up?>

Ever: That is a very, very long story.

Salamence: <Don't worry, I already read it.>

Ever: What?

Salamence: -chirp-

Ever: ...Well, uh, meet Salamence, my Altaria. And...Solace? Pleth? Say hello.

-he sends them out-

Solace: <...Ever, that's—>

Ever: Yep.

Solace: <...Greetings.>

Pleth: <'Sup?>

-she waves a claw at Denali-

Ever: Be polite. I've got Spathi the Salamence, but I imagine it's best if I don't send him out inside.

-The Cyborg Rabbid seems very close to the top now.-

-The Steelix shakes their head at the others-

Steelix: <You don't understand... There was some kind of dreadful curse over me and these Rabbids. Almost like... A Glitch...>

-Nero, Cavendish, and Dakota have waved goodbye to Lila and moved on-

Nero: -to Emperor- <Now what, umu?>

Cavendish: <We were on the trail of Mobius...>

Dakota: <Problem is still finding them.>

Human!Ammy: Good to see you again, Al.

Enzo: <We should probably get to that castle, yeah...>

-Umbra notices the Chatot-

Umbra: Is that...?

Denali inspected them all, "Very nice. Very nice."

They smirked and said, "Alright then. First thing's first. Give me your arm."

Virbank City Pokemon Center Entrance:

"Yeah I got everything, which surprised me. I thought they'd have run out of everything by now," Mark replied before asking as he stood outside of the line with no desire to cut in front of everyone and risk starting a fight, "How's the line doing? Has it moved at all since I've left?"

 Dewford 

-Is currently sleeping in a tree-

 Pinwheel 

Ann: -Shocked- A what?

Agrabah

Oh, look what the roaring sands brought in...

-Pent shrugs and steps over-

Need a hand, Iago?

Pinwheel Tower

Yeah, seems like this place is forcing conflict. Conflict with a defined set of rules. No big deal mate, you should be able to go head somewhere safe now that the Rabbid combatants have been dispatched.

Ever: Not strictly mine to give, but you're welcome to have a look at it.

-as he can't currently move the arm, he just detaches it from his shoulder, holding it out-

Virbank

Hajime: "Uh..."

There are now more people behind Hajime, he's closer to the desk but still got a few more people to go.

"Not so much on overall length but I'm near the front, at least."

Agrabah

Iago: -to the Plusle and Minun- <...You two would charge a poor Chatot on death's door for assistance?>

<Relatable, honestly.>

Al hears Pent.

<...Wait, Iago? What are you doing here?>

"Oh don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Denali said reassuringly as they popped the hand off the wrist.

They inspected the arm several times over and went, "Fascinating. I'll have to talk to whoever made this some time, it's nice work."

Denali stepped into the backroom and came out like a hour later, "FIXED!"

The arm had a intricate engraving pattern and a keystone embedded into the forearm, "The pattern lights up when you use the keystone!"

Denali handed Ever the arm back.

Mauville

Cleffa!Lila and Island ran up to Shaun and looked in the air.

Cleffa!Lila: <It looks like a Porygon. Weird...>

-Ever blinks a couple times-

Ever: ...Well. That's impressive.

-he takes the arm, reattaching it, and wiggles it to test everything-

...Huh.

-he turns back to Denali, inclining his head slightly-

Thank you. Your assistance has been invaluable.

-he fishes around in his pockets to pay-

Pleth: <Don't we need stuff too though?>

"You'll get the stones with the arm. Usually it's [EXPENSIVE PRICE] but fae to fae, and a chance to do something new, like modify a arm, it'll be [LESS EXPENSIVE PRICE]."

Denali smiled and summoned the stones, "Here you are."

Lost Shrine

Mandrake sees the amassed Shades.

Mandrake: <I suppose I shall...>

He begins Petal Dancing around to hit the Shades.

Pinwheel Mishmash

At the mention of a Glitch, Colt promptly took a step back, smoothly shifting into a rudimentary combat stance as he drew his Night Slash Claws. “How do you know what a Glitch is and why would it turn up here?”

Agrabah

“Let up on him!” Ammy demanded as she approached Iago and looked down at him, shirt branching out from kanji into the [Red Cross]. Xatu followed behind, doing his best to not look condescending to Iago. “Looks like and sounds like he’s been through hell,” she reasoned.

Pyukumuku materialized with a Purify primed, at the same time Sunny began Wishing for Iago’s recovery. “We’ll probably need to bring him with us to Jasmine if you want to be on time, Al.” Ammy observed, her shirt reading “早”.

<I believe she will understand,> Xatu observed.

<Yeah, after we spend an hour or so explaining,> Sunny chuckled.

-...-

Large!Puddle!Vee: <Fuck.>

Megan: ...do you think that Glitchy amulet made its way back to Gudrunn?

Roiling!Puddle!Vee: <F U C K>

Lapis: -worriedly- Bwah, bwah, bwah...

Pippy: <Er, don't mean to interrupt this horrifying maybe-revelation, but the cybun's getting away.>

-he steps forward, and Vee swirls around him, drops of water floating in the air-

Pippy: <...should we pursue?>

Plusle: <Oh nah, we're totally gonna help you outta the goodness of our hearts~>

-sparkle sparkle, batting eyes-

Minun: <Or we'll get in trouble.>

Plusle: <Or we'll get in trouble. Eh, we're here to have a good time. But we wouldn't turn down a little gift, totally not in exchange for some premium service, eh? Eh?>

-she elbows the Minun, who continues to stare impassively-

<So, what ails ya? Anything interesting?>

Minun: <...how much've you got?>
