(...) "Laurelin told me a clockmaker told her that you guys were having some kind of unusual...glitch, in reality?" (...)

That's when Shiva does perk up visibly into his direction, formerly she was busy watching all the Pokemon and asking about some of them. (I'm typing up on that in the background, along more reactions and actions of hers.)

Her voice is rather shy towards Bill but meets him with great respect and fascination, which shows in her faint body language also. Barely ever she would have expected that eventually things would rech HIM! "You... you heard of that from her indeed? That's great! But, eh, yes, sometimes we do. It's.....scary....." A cold shiver runs down her spine as she fears this phenomena occuring every moment again. "You think you could help on that though? Or aid in finding out where it comes from?"

"Yes, it relates to what I've been working on with Laurelin anyway....THE TIME CAPSULE!!"

"The old so-called Time Capsule system could send Pokemon back in time, up to about three years, and only under certain circumstances where the older timeline sent something forward to initiate the time loop...if that makes any sense. Soon, I should be able to send Pokemon back in time all the way back to 1871 when the Analytical Engine was invented. Just need to iron out a few paradox prevention measures."

"I worry that what's happening to you is some sort of...time lurch. Not a hallucination, not a transportation in space, but in time. I don't know if you're really traveling in time or just sending some kind of perception back there. Either way, it could be dangerous, so I will definitely try to offer you what help I can. So far, our time-travel technologies are extremely, extremely, extremely limited - we only send information, not matter. And that means humans can never be sent back : ("

Heart was fascinated with that Time Capsule system, after all, he is Sinnohsian and Dialga is the Pokemon of Time the ArcHeart Clan once worship along with Palkia, Giratina and Arceus itself. "Its not dangerous use such technology in manipulate time? I mean, there is the butterfry factor to consider (something who happen in the past cause distortions in the future, like destroy the seed of a tree may cause the end of a entire forest). Time its a powerfull force, so it may be dangerous to know such thing. And there is paradox factor to consider too."

"Great point, my man. We've been experimenting with such things since the turn of the century. The PC system is designed to sanitize paradoxes - no new information can be passed along. No new discoveries, no Pokemon or technologies the recipient wouldn't have heard of. Not only is it sanitized by our software, it's thought to be physically impossible to send such info. That time loop would be wiped out. And the old PC system wouldn't recognize the new information anyway; the cryptographic handshake would fail."

"Some time loops are stable - like the time loop which established the original Time Capsule in the first place. Some people say those time loops have Celebi's or Dialga's blessing."
