Bahamut's shade has been walking throughout the city wearing signs that read "Have a nice day :)" while preaching about Eternatus' love.
Rumors and stories have started to circulate about the Ultra Shade. They call him a wandering spirit.
Nate visits Red and asks if he remembers his battle against beeg Dunsparce. Where did it happen? Did he think there was anything strange about the situation? Did he fight any other big pokémon?
It happened near Paradise on the Mist Continent, and he'd apparently fought many. He didn't find it odd at the time, only that he was trying to save others. It seemed that the Psychic distortions of being controlled had overridden Red's perception of the situation as a whole, back then.
He'll also bring treats for Red's pokémon and chat a bit about pokémon training and battling. Does Red have any tips?
Red certainly had great and insightful battle tips. Unfortunately, Nate had trouble interpreting them because Red didn't ever say anything; he only demonstrated some of them with maneuvers with his team. Though, not having to speak commands to his Pokemon must have given him quite an advantage against opponents who would have otherwise had time to react...
-He researches in the library and with other members of God Squad and Poppin Arms to learn as much as he can about how substitute (apparently) works on other worlds; scents, sounds, appearance and anything and everything else.
Substitute can be used in a wide variety of ways, requiring varying skill levels. The simplest form is a very easy to recognize Substitute doll that, in the heat of battle, often draws the attention of attackers. They tend to be very eye-catching in a primal sort of way. The more powerful they become, the more they can resemble their hosts, and even be issued commands. At their strongest, they are basically weaker copies of the user, and are self-aware, with a fragment of their spirit inside. Substitutes, of any skill level, have a few key differences to their hosts. At the highest level, they can often replicate the scent, sound, and power of the host, but a careful check of the aura can reveal a 'hollow' look, as it is not their true body. If that, too, is disguised, they are nearly indistinguishable, with the exception of being unable to be healed, and an uncanny immunity to many ailments.
He visits Chip, both to make sure the Porygon is doing okay after his ordeal, and to ask if there's any sort of device that could either detect a substitute or detect Soda/a Zoroark
Chip is doing well, but is not confident in being able to detect a substitute, especially one as well-disguised as Soda. Even with his cooperation, there is not much hope in finding him, at least not to the same efficacy as the Mewtwo detector. Still, they will try.
She asks for a tour around the building and Jirachi's observatory especially. Cynthian also asks to take a look through the big telescope to see what she can find on the moon herself.
Cynthian also asks Jirachi if anything has changed on the moon for the past few days or so. Especially before and after Vix and the familiars took a trip to space.
News about the moon had spread fast, and Jirachi seemed too nervous to try to carefully observe the moon in that way again--the request, for now, was refused until worries can be quelled. What Jirachi knew about the moon prior to the blast was nothing particularly new.
