[His answer has her nodding slowly. The usual sorts of things, then. It must've been hard to hear from Griffin, though; she knows there was some kind of history between him and Keith, though she never really heard the whole story. But hey, the cat's out of the bag now, and Pidge isn't about to go back on her promise to talk honestly about anything Keith wants to know.]
He made the same accusations at me, too. [Which makes her frown a little, her expression tinged with annoyance.]
It wasn't on purpose. We'd been fighting Lotor, right where the Galra homeworld used to be. Eons away from Earth. The fight got pretty crazy. Lotor kept popping in and out of the quintessence field, and we had to follow him into it and trap him there to stop him... And over the course of things we realized that a ton of holes had essentially been torn into the very fabric of reality. In order to fix it, we had to create a massive explosion... using the Castle of Lions.
[She pauses for a moment there, laying her hand gently over the top of Rover's head with another small, thoughtful frown. It's a strange feeling that tugs at her; that battle had simultaneously happened a long time ago and not. The timeline obviously doesn't add up, since she'd gone back and forth between the Pokémon World and home between the events she's explaining. Logically she knows that's just the way things are around here, but it still feels weird.
And talking about what had happened to the castle... Somehow she still feels that loss pretty acutely. It had been home for such a long time, and they'd rushed to get everything they called their own onto the lions that... Well, there hadn't exactly been time to say goodbye to it.]
What we did repaired the damage, but we knew something was wrong. We couldn't get in touch with anyone for some reason, but we knew to head back to Earth, hopinh that my dad had made progress on fusing Altean technology with ours. The lions needed to recharge so it was kind of slow going, but we did our best to hurry, and then... [She lets out a soft, tired sigh.] We found out that we'd all been missing for three years.
The explosion... It had to be the equivalent force of a black hole in order to fix the holes in the quintessence field. Which apparently must have been enough to throw us into the future in the blink of an eye. We-- We had no idea until Zethrid and Ezor caught us and asked about Lotor. So by the time we were able to reach Earth... [Pidge trails off there, her gaze having dropped toward the floor as she shakes her head again.] We came as fast as we could. As soon as we heard. It just... wasn't enough.

tl;dr, the end of S6 and the first half of S7 happened
