"Well, of course I would help. But the neutrality of the PC system comes first, so it couldn't come from that end."

"It might not have to, given that Orre's Professor Krane found a mechanical solution to Orre's problem.  It just might require getting in contact with the right people who know what kind of tech is required to solve the issue."

Another pause.

"...so, I've got a pokemon I'd like you to meet, Bill."

Out comes Solosis, who immediately skittishly hides behind Nathan.

"...this is Solosis.  She...was one of the pokemon victim to having her independent will shut down.  If it weren't for Celebi's help, she'd still be little more than a slave to the one who originally caught her...or she'd have been lost to the dangers of the depths of Mt. Sentry like some of the others of her evolution line..."

...he shakes his head to clear those thoughts.

"...Shiva, Heart, me, and two others were exploring Mt. Sentry's deeper parts when we encountered the willless Solosis and Reuinclus.  An organization known as Scimitars was using them to scout the caves and tail us.  It's...far, far to similar to what I've read about Shadow Pokemon...but it also means it's similar enough that similar solutions exist.  Legendary Pokemon with powers over emotions, willpower, and memories can all restore the willless pokemon to their original state.  And I hope that something similar to Professor Krane's Purify Chamber might be able to work as well.  I don't really understand how that machine works, to be honest, I just know that it does."

Another pause.

"...part of the reason I wanted to pay you a visit was to ask if you'd be willing to help with potentially developing a mechanical solution for this issue.  I've already informed Tanuki about what happened, so the League's aware of what's going on.  She figured that maybe you might be able to help, and recommended that I get you to go speak with Dagny in Stair City about this if you're willing to help.  If you and Dagny could also get in touch with someone in Orre who knows a little about developing a solution to this problem...well, that'd probably make things even easier in theory."

"So, in short...can I actually ask for your help with this very, very real problem?"

"Ah, the Purify Chamber. That is a potentially neutral PC application. I can definitely add this to my list of projects!" He's excited. "I know just who to contact...well, you can't have too many apps!"

"But hold up. Celebi? Celebi healed your Solosis? That might explain the lurches...did you interact with one of my Time Capsules after meeting Celebi? Could you be part of a stable time loop? ...or going through an unstable one?... or maybe even part of a glitch in reality? What all interactions with Celebi did you have?"

"Well, my interaction was a connection with a ancestor of mine called Ark, a knight woman from three thousand years ago, more or less in the time from the Kalos War. I also somehow was in some place who have pieces from many places I visit in my travels. Maybe Celebi let me have a connection with my ancestor using time travel? Not in body but maybe in mind? Honestly I don't know."

Like Dragonstrike said, Heart doesn't actually hear the bit about Solosis and Purify Chambers. BUT he does hear the part about Celebi leading to glitches, because Bill asked Shiva about that. So what Heart says here is still fine.
