Just like this, the lurantis just opted to lay in her spot, just squandering the time she had left for the ribbon, idly rubbing the joltik's head while she waited. It wasn't long until she felt herself 'moving' or rather shrinking even further down now, sighing as she just stayed laying on her back, watching the surroundings around her grow larger, the joltik especially so since it was the closest and only living being with her. Smaller she would go and larger everything else would get, the joltik climbing up onto her front and nibbled at the ribbon, if to try and get the shrinkage to stop due to the ribbon wearing off, the lurantis watching it with a saddened gaze. Even as the legs of the joltik were starting to have difficulty staying on the lurantis' torso, the electric tick kept nibbling and chewing on the ribbon to no avail, eventually having to shift off when the tips of its legs were starting to touch back down on the leather of the cushion, moving itself away from the lurantis to watch with an equally worried expression. The lurantis did appreciate its efforts, reaching a claw up to scratch at the joltik's face while she continued to dwindle down, even when it was starting to loom over her.
The feeling of dwindling would soon end, the two just resting in their spots, the head of the joltik close to the lurantis' smaller form. Her whole form was small enough that she felt she was smaller than its head, let alone barely be larger than half the joltik's standing height, confirmed when she stood up in her spot to check. The leathery cushion the two were on was like a field to her now, the bed would likely take an hour or so to get to it, a third of the time likely spent climbing, and the fomantis plush on it would likely tower over her now if it was capable of movement. She would feel a nudge from the joltik, glancing over and let out a small eep when the joltik's face pressed to her, calming down as a small smile came to her face, hugging the larger pokemon as best as she could for the attempt of comforting her, also liking the short fuzz that she felt on its body. A happy click came from it before trying to get the lurantis to climb on, her doing so without too much hesitation once she found out what her friend was wanting her to do. They still had one last device to find, and moping around wouldn't solve anything...even if the shaggy rug beneath the bed was starting to look more like a field of tall, brown-black grass...
Moving over to the edge of the cushion, the joltik would state for the lurantis to hold on tight, the mantis doing just that before the joltik hopped off. The far less weight of the two made it so that while falls looked much more daunting, they would barely go any faster than the joltik's own falling speed, landing safely on the white carpet below, the joltik skittering off towards the end table once the lurantis pointed to it. It was fairly speedy, covering the distance in barely a fraction than what the lurantis could hope to manage, arriving to it barely eight or so seconds later, both figures looking up to the towering piece of furniture. With a swallow from the lurantis, the joltik would work on climbing up the wooden surface, its passenger holding on the whole time during the vertical climb. Soon, the lurantis would level out and climb off the joltik's back, glancing down the edges of the end table. She doubted that she could slip in through the side with the handle, and glancing the other sides shown no gaps in the woodwork save for the side closest to the chamber's wall.
Figuring she could do some climbing this time, the lurantis would stretch her arms slightly for what's to come, shimmying off the edge and slammed her claws into the sides to make sure she could get a grip and not fall. To her relief, she didn't need to put forth so much force for future grips, slowly but surely climbing down, the joltik following after her just in case she ended up slipping. It would take a little while, but they would reach the hole in the woodwork, just large enough for both to slide in and onto the drawer of the end table, the joltik having to squeeze itself a bit to fit. Resting inside was possibly the final device the lurantis needed to activate and likely the last one of the sequence, hurrying over and tackled the lever of it to try and throw it. A comparatively loud click would sound as the lever went over with ease, the lurantis having to dive out of the way when it snapped back and nearly smack into her. The last device yes, but not the right order. Still, at the very least she knew which order to activate them now, both bugs climbing out of the end table and dropped down to the floor, the joltik landing first with the lurantis opting to land on its back, a giggle coming from her when she heard it let out a squeak of surprise before being calmed back down.
Looking over to what bits of the bookshelf she could see past the legs of the bed, the lurantis would instruct the joltik to head for it, holding on as the larger pokemon skittered off towards it. She didn't want to climb up the shelves to find anything else since it would likely waste what time she had, opting to explore the underside of the bookshelf instead. Arriving at the furnishing, the joltik would halt and let the lurantis climb off since it was too large to fit beneath the shelf, the lurantis patting its head and said that she'll be back. She didn't need to duck, but unlike looking under the bed or the couch, it was somewhat easy to see down here thanks to there being no carpet beneath the bookshelf. It was new for her to explore something that was normally used by humans, let alone when at such a small stature and thus in a spot that most other creatures couldn't reach. She would occasionally reach up to the 'ceiling' of this area, knocking against the wood to find signs of any give or gaps. To her annoyance, she wouldn't find anything after roughly fifteen minutes of searching, sighing as she walked back out and to the joltik, smiling at the nuzzle she got when approaching it and hugged it in return, wondering what to do now.

Barely above half of the joltik's size now, and she has found the last device needed to activate and thus finally escape. Whether she'll be able to get out before being reduced to the size of a claw of her friend or even further than that is the question.
