"Silver? Corrupted?" Chip asked, buzzing in thought. "I didn't really know that. But it makes sense, if he was inside that Shadow Machine. Maybe the corruption is still in him, just a little nugget. That's... not good, is it?" He dipped down. "This place is rigged with security cameras and...

Everything above has been logged!

"We plan to, I imagine," Maple said. "Yes. In fact, we were able to find him because Chip's detector had found a signal in the Mist Continent. There was no mistaking it then! and, well..." "S'more!" called another voice--they would recognize it as Poffin, the Slaking and one of the strongest...

Despite everything, their stay at the Tree of Life had been peaceful. Xerneas had stepped in now and then to snoop on what they were doing, but otherwise did not approach. And as the sun set and others came in to switch shifts if desired, the time at the Tree settled into uneventfulness. Good...

"I have," Shield said, nodding. Karat gave Shield an odd look, wondering what they were talking about. "But I haven't seen him around lately. It was only when we'd fought each other..." "Shadowy Charizard? How many of those things are there?" Karat said with a growl. "It was this... gigantic...

"Well... not too many. God Squad can show up, as well. But aside from that, not even the Omen heroes are allowed here! Well, I mean. If they asked I might allow it, but there was never really a need! Oh, and Silver, when he was still awake, but he didn't seem that enthusiastic about seeing his...

"All right," Maple said, nodding toward the others. "Thank you everyone... or those who showed up... to our daily briefing. Once again, the scouts are working on finding Giovanni, but no actual readings have come in just yet from Chip's Mewtwo detection system, and the Mist Continent's general...

"I'm... I don't really know," said Chip. "I'm Reshiram's assistant in all this. This is very sensitive information, and while you're all allowed here since you're directly involved... I don't know how much expertise I can get. Maybe a little help, but..." Chip seemed to lower his guard a little.

Potluck had gotten distracted and was now chasing wild Pokemon.

Potluck had gone running, though he looked like he was about to comment that 52 Card Pickup was a fun game that he played all the time.

"Well, Soda usually does a game called 52 Card Pickup," Potluck explained. "It's like a really quick scavenger hunt!"

Zinc was quick to look over and help the newcomers get settled. She explained to them what had happened in the basic level--Diyem, Dark Matter, was their patron, and they were summoned to Cibus to save it from a threat only they could combat. It was surprisingly simple, despite the complexities...

"Sure!" Potluck said, wagging his fishtail. "I like games like these. Soda used to throw them really far and then make it go invisible, and I'd spend hours trying to find them all while he watched!" It was likely Soda used that as an excuse to do some 'reading' under an illusion.

"I'm... not sure," Karat said. "It feels like something I should be able to undo. Which makes me think that the force keeping it sealed is related to that same energy nullification as before." He paused. "But that begs the question... why is Shield only sealed, and not dead?" Shield's...

"I-I-I-I yes, well, we definitely need to have Giovanni, or that Mewtwo, do a huge burst of energy. And Karat can't do the same thing at the same time, either. Otherwise, well, you know, we'd get the wrong reading, a false positive from Karat... And, well. The Charmeleon--eh, Charizard...

"E-eh, well." Chip hesitated, a sudden buzz running through his head. "You have to replicate a bug to fix it, you know? Reshiram and I were doing that. And, you know. Slip of the beak." Chip fidgeted more. "L-look, it's like what Lexx is saying. I'm just really enthusiastic about replicating...

"Well, that part seems pretty easy," Chip said. "Er--code patching wise, it might be solved by now. We have more security measures in place already, so I don't think we'll be able to replicate signals or fake them anymore. Not in the same way, at least. Security is always something that evolves...

"Oh, it's been wonderful!" Chip nodded, which was more like his head magnetically bobbing up and down a few times like a hollow fruit in water. Chip's lab was still barren, more like a front desk and lobby than anything on the front chamber. A welcoming area. Sterile, empty. The good stuff was...

Shield shook his head. "I don't really know any more than you do at this point," he said. "We knew he was gathering Legends and we know about what he was trying to develop, but not really anything else." "I tried to look into his psychic block," Karat added, "but whatever it is, it's strong...

Chip's eyes flickered like a grin at first, but by the time Luz had brought a hand on one of his limbs, he hesitated and that cheerful glimmer seemed to be there by force instead off genuinely. "E-eh, what do you mean, exactly? Truth-seeking? I already get questions from Puff, I'm not really...
