Scarlet & Violet arc

In PASV11, Violet and Arven discovered the Bitter Herba Mystica after defeating Titan Bombirdier. Arven made some sandwiches out of it, sharing them amongst himself, his Mabosstiff, Violet, and Mireia, a Musician who had helped them against Bombirdier. The power of the Bitter Herba Mystica allowed Mabosstiff to recover a little more, much to Arven's relief. When Miraidon ate one of the sandwiches, it gained a power-up, with Professor Turo contacting Violet to specify that Miraidon had regained its ability to swim.
