"The Butterfree Effect. The idea that a tiny change in the past could create a giant ripple effect that unravels the future. It assumes that Dialga and Celebi are not keeping a constant watch on time. But what if we applied that argument to space. A ripple at one point in space beyond our legends' control — perhaps another world entirely — grows to such a degree that, by the time it reaches our world, space is unravelling. And since space and time are so intricately connected, time begins to break down as well. It could explain several things. Like why I've seen him and his togekiss in archival photos of Jubilife Village when it should be impossible for him to be in two places in time at once. Or the dreams where I'm not a researcher, but some high-level pokémon trainer who researches myths on the side as a hobby.

...

With this theory and this artifact, the Space Globe, I can finally solve all these mysteries. Unravel every myth and legend."

He hears the purring noise and puts his right hand over the other lizard's snout. No more noise. He lifts it. Noise is back.

"Ahhgias," he says, as if trying to teach the other one appropriate lizard noises. "Ah-giii-aaahs." He taps the other's snout with each syllable.

Sprocket watches the Lizerb lean down, and closes his eyes...

But grooming wasn't what he was expecting.

It's so... strange, being cleaned by another Koraidon. Don't they see him as a threat? As a rival to be chased off? He doesn't understand.

But it's so pleasantly nice. Sprocket finds himself gently purring, despite his fears.

[refractment]

Tired lati is tired. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[refractment]

“This Lizerb is a high quality one.”

Does not understand the statement, so he eats it.

[refractment]

Sprocket jumps when the other Koraidon screams, and whimpering, rolls onto his back, showing them his belly.

Looks down. Recognizes this one looks like him. Not sandwich. Not food. But belly is a dirty. Unacceptable. Must groom dirty belly.

So, he leans over and grooms. Mlem. Mlem.

[refractment]

"He's out of time, stop him!"

Feels threatened. Puffs chest out larger to assert dominance.

[refractment]

Why he yell?

Mistakes the anon's leg for a sandwich and bites into it.

[refractment]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGGGGGGYYYAAAAAAAAS!"

Puffs chest out and thumps it.

[refractment]

"Yeah, sure. Put him in a nice ball." Nova clicked his tongue.

"He eats them whenever we try to use them."

"I guess that's fair enough..." She conceded. "We've had this issue with the Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokémon in our own world. Have you considered maybe giving it a home or findin' a good trainer for him? I'm sure he'd like the company, and that it'll keep 'em out of trouble, too."

[refractment]

"He's, like, made from make believe. So he doesn't have a home to go back to or anything." Nova shifted his weight from right to left, then back again. "And it'd be irresponsible to release him into the wild."

"So he just... roams around and messes with things? That's it?" Blinks. "Are you like, worried that he'll get himself in trouble or killed or something? Like, sure it's not bright and it'll probably get hurt but why's that your problem?"

[refractment]

"Aggiiiyyaaaa!" He immediately sat up, looking at one of the big wyrm's long tendril thingies. "Agaah gayiaaa."

Lizerb bats at the nearest tendril. His own antennae twitches.

@refractment said: Lizerb attempts handstand to assert dominance, but looses balance and faceplants. "Raaawrgggh!"

Well they were certainly... trying. Goratona simply laid on the ground until this large red creature could understand they werent trying to be a threat.

"I mean you no harm."

Granted, they seemed much more simplistic than others, though their power was mighty. That much Giratina could tell.

"Do you have a name?"

[refractment]

Thump goes the lizerb tail. Thump, thump, thump.

Strange rumbling from him. Almost purring but he's not a cat.

"..."

Okay, Florian. You got her. Maybe Koraidon is a little cute.

Kathy moved over to scratch under his chin and his belly a little. She knew that Miraidon liked that, so maybe this Koraidon did too. "...Hmmm. I wonder where you came from. Hopefully we can find whoever lost you -- if you're lost in the first place. Don't wanna get whoever would be looking for you worried."

[refractment]

"Oh, he doesn't come on any specific assignments. He just... wanders," Nova said, shaking his head and sighing. "Which doesn't help when you've got a little starcloud kid who can open portals and send him wherever."

Zinnia paid close attention to the magazines that were shown. She'll have to keep this in mind and ask Katherine about this later. "Doesn't surprise me that they would in some way. After all, we weren't entirely sure that Arceus exists at the time, yet your RKS system is a thing." She couldn't help but laugh.

"But you're saying that your Koraidon is just an idiot? Awww, those are the best kinds. Lovable dumbasses. Though, I can definitely see how that's one helluva problem if it's insisting on coming with you guys. Maybe it just needs friends to hang out with or something?"

[refractment]

He devoured the sandwich in a matter of seconds, leaving his face covered in crumbs and rice.

"Agggiiii — urp — aaaaa."

He sloooooowly dropped down onto his belly, his chest puffing out.

Yup. This one is exactly like Florian's. "Okayyy. Let's get you something." Kathy walked over and made an extra-long Master Curry-and-Rice-Style Sandwich. It took a little while, but it smelled extremely tasty. Hopefully it liked it like Florian's did.

Kathy went back and sat where she was before. She offered the whole thing to Koraidon. "Here. I don't know where you came from but this should help a little."

[refractment]

pounces on nova. bark.

"Hey babe." Pecks cheek.

[refractment]

"Agia? Agggya!" Opens his mouth wiiiiiiide.

"...?" Whose Pokémon is this? How did it get in her dorm? Kathy had so many questions... but considering that her Miraidon isn't here, at least something resembling it was here. "...You hungry or something? Do you want a sandwich?"
