"Oh hey! Aren't those the fellas I did reconnaissance on? Oh! But won't they notice me?"
"They won't, they're both too engrossed in the heat of the battle, we're a non-issue to them at the moment. Here, take this chip, it is of vital importance to your objective."
"Alright!..Er, what does it do?"
Malamar cackles at the thought of Flare's incompetence, "Kukukukukukukukuku.. Those Flare miscreants foolishly believe they can manipulate the will of the prophecy by controlling an iota on their own accord. I need you to switch the chip already in place with this one, and smash the old one to pieces, it'll sever the prophecy-fulfilling tether that Flare subtly holds and replace it with the equivalent of a unrestricted mind, increasing the possibility of their plan derailing."
"Oh, okay, sounds easy enough! And uh...the girl?"
"Take the Mega Ring from that wretched wench. She doesn't need it. But we do."
