Nate will go back to Chip's lab to see whether Chip can arrange for Jirachi to take some pictures of the moon through one of his higher-powered telescopes, focusing on the area that had previously been found to have the weird black mark. While he's there, he'll also check on whether Chip has found anything interesting out about Sword's core and how progress on the power suppressors is going.

He'll also check in on Blacklight Mewtwo and, assuming his condition hasn't changed, complain to him about spy stuff to him for a bit before leaving.

Ivy wanted to apologize to Luz but felt too nervous and kept putting off. A while later she worked up the courage to do so by offering colorful chips and cards she picked up after wandering onto a cruise ship and taking some gambling chips as souvenirs after winning it big at the casino before losing it all. The pools were fun though.

Q: "Oh! You must be Brisket! I've seen a lot about your fights! Congratulations on your fight against Puff!"

A: "Why, thank ye kindly, partner! That's me. Yer Pansit, right? You linin' up fer a match? You'd have th'type advantage, y'know."

Q: "Tell me, is it true? How many close bonds are being formed among Team Spectrum?"

A: "Y'think a slew of well-intentioned souls like us could fight at each other's side fer so long an' not form close bonds? When yer life depends on yer teammates, y'get to trustin' 'em. I dare say as there's plenty of us that think of one another as family."

Q: "There's a rumor of Goodra Zinc becoming interested in one of the 'zard on the team, is that true?"

A: "Well, now, I couldn't say. Certainly not without knowin' so much as which of the several such individuals yer thinkin' of, partner."

At Koa's request he does what he can to see if anyone is acting odd - God Squad, Spectrum, or even just Cibus natives.

With no real person to focus on, there wasn't a lot of meaningful information to discern.

Puddle decides to go find out more about Pop, taking a trip to the library to read anything and everything on him. It was a pain to sit there, reading, for what felt like forever... But Puddle pulled through.

Pop is generally well-regarded in a lot of texts within Destiny Village's library, but it was mentioned as well that he had only (relatively) recently woken up from a long slumber, along with many of the other gods. Though after cross-referencing this with knowledge from others, this seemed to be normal for many worlds like Cibus.

Raven returns to Destiny Village for a while. She talks with Owen a lot, when she's not staying with Mellow. She also asks around about Jirachi.

Owen speaks of Jirachi as an entity with an odd fondness, but also remarks that he probably doesn't have any relevance to what's going on with the Blacklight crisis. He apparently lives on the Water Continent with the Dark Matter Omen Heroes.

Nate will go back to Chip's lab to see whether Chip can arrange for Jirachi to take some pictures of the moon through one of his higher-powered telescopes, focusing on the area that had previously been found to have the weird black mark.

Jirachi says that it would take some time to process the image, but he found something there that even he could see, suggesting that at least part of that dark splotch is something unrelated to Shadows or Radiance. But it required a serious zoom-in to get any details. Whatever they are, they're moving... Attempts to teleport there all failed. Deoxys considered flying to the moon, but got such a horrible feeling halfway there that he turned back.

While he's there, he'll also check on whether Chip has found anything interesting out about Sword's core and how progress on the power suppressors is going.

Sword's Core was amazing! He found that Shades might still be able to hide in it, but only partially. Cores seemed to be used like spare shells for a Dwebble, but he wasn't sure what their entire purpose would be. Something about the Core changes an aspect of a Shade... but Darkwhite's Core reacted differently. After showing it to Buffet, and then comparing it to the broken Core of Millijoule, there was a difference. Darkwhite's Core was not properly activated in the same way the Ultra Shades were. Darkwhite's Core had some kind of different treatment. They can only theorize that it was because the source power was not a Shade, but Sword's spirit.

Then what did that mean for the Shades?

Nate's going to talk to Joule about the possibility of taking some people up to visit the moon. Does he feel like he might be up for that in the near future? They still need to get some more information from Jirachi, but based on what happened when Deoxys tried to take a look, it sounds like it would be a bad idea for Joule to check things out on his own. Is there anything Nate could do to help Joule power up, or prepare a group to go to space?

After letting Vix explode to her hearts content, and her actually surviving, and dropping Vix off at the infirmary, and her refusing to stay, Scrafty and Vix seek out Manaphy to ask them to use heart swap on S'more and Vix. They don't know if it'll work, but hope that, somehow, it'll be enough to unlock whatever memories might've been in either of them, or at least S'more.

Rocky runs to check on Silver and Giovanni in the holding cells. Assuming they're okay and don't show any signs of trying to join the fight up at Destiny Tower, he'll ask a few questions about Blacklight Mewtwo:

- Is he Giovanni's mewtwo, from Telum?
- Was he with them when they woke up after the Tree of Life incident? If not, how did they meet up on Cibus?
- BLM2's been even more quiet and nonresponsive than usual since the battle against Red. Did Silver put him in hibernate mode somehow, or did he do that himself?
- Is that just how BLM2 is when not actively given a command, or is that behavior (or lack thereof) unusual?
- Any idea why BLM2 might have suddenly broken out of confinement and attacked arceus? Is there any sort of command or trigger that could have set him off?
- Was Silver ever really in control of BLM2 or... no?

During their most recent sparring session at the beach, Cabot told Meringue he'd like a proper battle at the Colosseum against him and Brulee. He said he just needs to find the right partner first.

Brisa? Just talked with Soda. I'm all right. Coming home.

Good. I'm here. See you soon.

I'm glad you're okay.


After her afternoon taking tea with Bone, Brisa waits anxiously at home for Dave to return with news of Soda's possible confession.

Nothing suspicious.

Puddle tries to find any information about Cibus before Pop "woke up."

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Is there anything Nate could do to help Joule power up, or prepare a group to go to space?

Joule asked for the names of some of the best restaurants in town that Nate could recommend. It is difficult to tell if he was serious.

Raven reaches out to Jirachi through messaging about the possibility of them granting a wish.

Jirachi seems reluctant and remarks that wish-granting is a very strenuous thing to do, and it certainly wouldn't be able to interfere with something like Blacklight.

She looks up any information on Eien prior to the raid on the Tree of Life.

There isn't really any information to find.

Scrafty and Vix seek out Manaphy to ask them to use heart swap on S'more and Vix. They don't know if it'll work, but hope that, somehow, it'll be enough to unlock whatever memories might've been in either of them, or at least S'more.

Manaphy seems willing, but Cresselia, taking care of him, advises that it will probably not do much--typically, corruption follows the spirit or the mind, and Manaphy's Heart Swap would not do much to help transfer it.

Saltriv asks Nanab about what happened on the Mist Continent during the Bittercold crisis.

Basically the canon GtI story.

Rocky runs to check on Silver and Giovanni in the holding cells. Assuming they're okay and don't show any signs of trying to join the fight up at Destiny Tower,

This will need to be a scene, ongoing in DT right now.

Nate takes this to mean that no, Joule would not be in any shape to take people into space anytime soon. However, he says he likes the food at Lucky's Low Tide and the Shade Street Diner. The buffet at The Three Rings is pretty good, too. These are probably not the kinds of recommendations Joule was looking for.

When Echo found out about Silver's Crobat, he made a point to visit Silver's team, especially Crobat. He brings them all treats and does his best to guess their favorite foods. Spicy food for Typhlosion, and whatever else he thinks they'll like.

For Crobat, he brings honey, hoping perhaps the other bat might enjoy the treat. I mean, who wouldn't love honey? If there's a ceiling fan in the lab he shows Crobat how to go for a good ride on one.
