"Wow. Sounds complicated. Perhaps Bill could be involved, but I don't know of anyone else capable of doing such a thing. That's well beyond the purview of Mallorn, for example, and Dagny isn't much of a software gal."

"Yeah.  Maybe Bill might be able to help with that...or Dagny might be able to contact someone in Orre about this.  They've been really paranoid about Shadow Pokemon for years ever since they were first created around 10 years ago.  A general lack of law enforcement didn't help, but I think their local hero, Michael, has been helping set that straight recently...they'd probably be more than willing to send aid concerning this problem with purifying the brainwashed pokemon if we requested it. A Doctor Hyperiac that Dagny confirmed was the real deal also visited the Disobedience Shelter in Stair recently, and he vaguely talked a little about Relic Stones and Shadow Pokemon from what I heard about him, so getting in contact with Orre's experts if needed is likely feasible."

"...I'm getting off topic, though.  I probably need to talk to Dagny about this as well.  The other point I wanted to stress was what the brainwashed pokemon look like.  They've got machinery embedded in their heads.  Come here for a moment, Solosis."  Nathan holds her in his arms in front of him, trying to help her relax a little, but also to point out something to Tanuki.

"Solosis had an antenna stuck in her head right...here.  Where that yellow thing all Solosis have used to be, but isn't any more.  The Reuniclus we encountered had lots of spiky metal and wires in their heads, too.  If you happen to run across any pokemon with metal or something similar embedded in them like that...they might be Scimitar owned.  That's something rather significant to look out for for sure.  The Scimitars were using the machinery to communicate orders to the pokemon wirelessly.  Breaking them stopped the orders entirely, but the pokemon...well, they were still unwillingly Loyal to their trainers and would attempt to escape or attack or whatever if they thought they could get away with it and it benefited them, so watch out for that if you manage to liberate any."
