[The grumpearl projects an image and this time it's of A.B.A, her chimeric form sprawled across one of Oran's many beds. She looks tired, more than usual, and especially for someone who's been out of commission for a couple of months.]

...It would appear that I've fallen ill. I'm...disappointed in myself, I don't fall ill, I'm supposed to be better than that. I survive, I rise, I'm supposed to be filled with potential. ...It's this body, it's weak, even now it's weak. Mightyena was kind enough to allow me back into the guild, and that's where I'll continue to recover. It feels bad... I feel bad...

[A pause.]

...I was aware throughout most of it, at least...I think I was. A lot of it amalgamated with my thoughts, swirling, like a dream. ....I know some of you were there, although it's possible that was also part of the dream. You should tell me if you were actually there or not, s-so I know what the reality really was. Please say you were there...

What else... Oh!

Before I succumbed, a very rude mongoose was able to tell me what my Pokémon species is called. She called it Type: Full. I like that...

...

[At this point, A.B.A isn't sure how to end her message, her stray thoughts just sort of...slipping out.]

I'm not sure what else to say...

I'm hungry. I can't buy snacks stuck in bed...

Tatsu...keyri...

[Out of all the things to get out of that...]

I think I'd want to...meet this particular Pokémon.

[truthdecided]

Tatsugiri, A.B.A-san. It apparently resembles living sushi.

[Here, he'll project an image based on the slabs he read earlier. There's no color, but it does at least convey the general shape.]

[quirkynote]

[A.B.A projects a counter image, one of what appears to be a key-like creature on four legs with a big, creepy grin and large, round eyes. Something she imagined entirely on a whim.

This is...apparently what she believes Tatsukeyri should be.]

Mine's better.

[But sadly, that doesn't change reality.]

If it's a sushi, then the problem is easily solved. I'll eat it myself. That will teach it to evolve against my wishes.

[truthdecided]

...That is a rather interesting creature you've concocted.

[Hey, it even earns a little chuckle. Well played, A.B.A.]

That being said, I'm not sure I advise trying to eat it, especially when it's used in the mouth of a much larger, violent Pokémon.

[quirkynote]

Easily solved. I'll simply have to be the more larger, violent Pokémon, then. Don't think I won't, my wrath knows no limits.

[Just don't ask her how she plans to make herself larger. She doesn't have an answer for that.]

[truthdecided]

...Do you even know if you're capable of evolving?

[It's not impossible, but he can't exactly help his skepticism.]

[quirkynote]

...Yes? Of course. We're all capable of evolution, depending on how much time we're given.

[She will sit here for hundreds of years if she has to.]

[truthdecided]

Pokémon evolution seems different, however. There are typically "end stages" of an evolutionary line. A final form of sorts.
