At your dad's questioning, you assure that you're not going to be doing anything to strain the former pair and just want to spend time with them for the evening and you'll swap them for Rusty and Queenie in the morning.
You say your goodbyes after that, before releasing the three of them as you settle down to fill Gareth in on everything that happened.
Or, try to.
You wind up relocating to the couch so Volta and Nika can tuck in either side of you while Fluffy settles on your lap.
Nika seems particularly clingy, though it seems more because she missed you than anything like how Sage is.
Volta and Fluffy meanwhile just seem glad to have some downtime with you and with how Volta's purring, it's clear there're no hard feelings.
Gareth meanwhile is growing more and more incredulous as you outline first how things went at the shrine on Imbrium Cape, then at Team Green's doggedness in trying to find you in Frigoris Forest, before by the time you get to encountering Celebi and the ensuing battle, he looks so overloaded you're not sure if he's going to faint or not.
"...Arceus above..." He manages at last. "So Team Green was trying to mess with time somehow..." He says.
"Seems that way, but I never bothered to try getting their actual plan out of them." You reply.
"It'll have been something like trying to propagate their beliefs in the path somehow to overwrite proper history." Gareth says. "Or something inexcusably stupid like that."
