I am still here, and am offering my services as the team's tactician from this point on for anyone wanting some help with their moves. Carrying on from intermission, I do not wish to evolve until overall my stats improve as an Azumarill. Once we have an idea of who returns, I will look again at our shopping and evolution options. If any of you want to evolve or suggest some items we should buy or sell, feel free to mention it.
: "I happen to have found a pool of water near the cave entrance, so I feel refreshed and ready to help out again! I'll try not to faint next battle."
EDIT: Actually, I'll go through the stuff we can do now, so that we can decide what to do while waiting for everyone that can come back to do so.
: "Let's see...some important notes from Lucario to begin with."

Shopping and Evolution
: "Hmm, currently our team is considering these move changes..."
Coral: I know I said before that I was replacing Rock Smash with Aqua Ring, but I actually want to replace
Defense Curl with
Aqua Ring instead. I will also not evolve (would become weaker overall).
Lutin: Replacing Bite with Crunch.
WooWoo: Not changing the moveset.
Glacier: Replacing Powder Snow with Aurora Beam. If Glacier evolves now to a Ninetales using an Ice Stone, Dazzling Gleam becomes an option.
Nah: Replacing Sandstorm with Dragon Claw.
Lily: Replacing Absorb with Giga Drain and Sleep Powder with Aromatherapy. Lily has the ability to evolve using a Sun Stone, but right now the plan is to not evolve.
Mercy: Not changing the moveset.
Krakanos: Replacing Cut with Slash.
Cuddles: Replacing Mist with Rest.
Freesia: Replacing Leech Seed with Double-Edge. Evolution is available.
Priscilla: Not changing the moveset.
Felix: Replacing Baby-Doll Eyes with Thunder Fang, is interested in evolution but is not yet ready to do so.
Meta: Unknown. Slash can be learned. Evolution is also an option.

: "We also have 6750 Poke to use. There was 6000 inside Simisear's Pouch. We will go ahead and sell the Stardust for the agreed 1500 Poke and we will spend 3500 Poke to purchase the Storage System. There are still some things we can do, including more purchases, but I'd like to talk to my team about that first."
So we have 4750 Poke left to use assuming the purchase for the Storage System goes well. Here are my thoughts on some of the notable items, but I'm open to anyone wanting a particular item instead:
Berries: Anyone's call on what to do with these. Any berries that people do not want will probably get stored. Coral will keep her Oran Berry and is offering the Lum Berry for anyone interested.
Big Root: Lily's call here to make, but only Lily (Giga Drain) and Coral (Aqua Ring) can benefit from this. Coral would be fine without it, but I wouldn't deny the item if Lily wants to give it away.
Black Sledge: Freesia is the only one that benefits from this item, so it should stay with Freesia.
Cursed Shawl: Coral will be keeping this item, but if Coral ends up getting Big Root and Rocky Helmet, this would be the item up for grabs. It has a chance to Disable for 3 turns a contact move used on the Pokemon.
Dynamite: Krakanos claimed this item during the break, and I have no objections to it myself.
Escape Orb: Coral will keep hers in her inventory, just in case. Krakanos and Lily can decide what to do with theirs.
Hard Stone: I don't think anyone has a Rock move. I would store it unless someone wants it.
Heart Scale: We should store this one until we feel we should use the Move Relearner service.
HM Moves: These will be stored, but if anyone wants to learn Cut or Rock Smash, it's easy to pull it out, use it, then put it back in.
Jetpack and Running Shoes: Mozilla had them, but they are now free for anyone that wants them. Coral will pass on them.
Presents: I think we could sell these unless someone wants to use them.
Rocky Helmet: Coral is eyeing this one in particular of the items available, but it is Priscilla's call to make.
Sharp Beak: Meta should get this item, but it is Priscilla's call to make.
Spell Tag: Only Woowoo and Mercy can use this item. It's their call whoever wants it.
Wands: Coral will keep her Slow Wand. The other wands are up to the rest of you.
All other items: Up to their respective owners if they want to keep them or not. Unwanted items will either be sold or stored.
: "Let's see, there was some interest in the Apprentice's Wand Set in the past, but unsure if people still want it. I think that covers this huge update, whew."
If there's anyone wanting to join, but is undecided on what Pokemon to be, we have lack of Fire coverage moves due to Mozilla leaving. We can work with whatever Pokemon joins up, though.
