Shalour City
The Sludge Bomb does nothing other than make Duke do his equivalent of raising an eyebrow
"Gee, your trainer must both irresponsible and pretty bad." said Lyuri.
"<So, can I...?>" asked Duke
Lyuri shrugs "Sure."
Duke then punches the ground hard enough to create strong shockwaves and make it shake for a bit
Shalour
-despite nearly tripping over the hem of her dress multiple times on the way back, they do eventually reach the center-
-once in their room, Crewe unclasps the cloak and drops it on the bed. She turns her back to Straw and pulls her hair over her shoulder-
Can you unzip it? It's a pain to do it myself.
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!Shalour City
Valorie's eyes widened slightly in surprise at Sparkers' words. "But I—!" she started protesting only to cut off abruptly as she was nuzzled, a mild blush coming to her cheeks.
...She moved in closer and nuzzled Sparkers back rather affectionately. "Promise you won't think any differently of me...?" she asked rather meekly.
I dropped out of school to become a pokemon master, but then they pulled me right back in to get my doctorate!Shalour City
Pippi smiles at Lucille.
Pippi: Thank's for the charity cus', but it ain't needed. As Padere always said, "Things always turn out all right in the end. If it ain't all right, it ain't the end~"
Lawrence: Oh? So rather than vehemently deny that you feel anything for her beside the searing hate of 10,000 burning suns like in previous conversations. You're reply is simply that you're not a voyeur? Also, that distinct shade of beetroot red isn't helping your case, mon ami ~ <3
Patsy: -Climbing up on Eridu's shoulder- <When did Lawrence become such a... trickster?>
Eridu: <He's always been quite wry, it's just that Leonard and Cleopatre give him the most material to work with.>
Patsy: <Oh I see~>
Matchsticks: <Oh he's simply burning up~ And I didn't even light him on fire~>
The three chuckle again.
I'm having to learn to pay the priceShalour
Murcrow and Clones: <Bye, Crewe!>
-He then heads outside and, once he comes into contact with the sunlight, is wrapped in an Obscura Cocoon and is spat out, his clones having disappeared as well-
Crow: "Aw..."
"Oh, well. I'll just have to keep that in mind."
-He then heads out, possibly coming by the de Niles, Cains, and Dyuri-

-Dragalge is promptly sent reeling by Duke's Earthquake and takes heavy damage.-
Dragalge: <Oof... only by fighting against impossible odds can I become strong enough to conquer any foe!>
-She starts to prepare a Dragon Pulse, only to be interrupted by a stern gaze from Leonard.-
Leonard: Dragalge, what do you think you're doing?
Dragalge: <Smiting your enemies, of course!>
-Leonard rolls his eyes.-
Leonard: Save attacking random passers-by for when we're in the Battle Chateau, will you?
-He then turns back to Lawrence, still rather red in the cheeks.-
Leonard: I... I simply didn't feel that it required repeating, considering how many times you have dredged the subject up.
-Lucille, meanwhile, gives Pippi a small grin.-
Lucille: Guess that's one way of looking at it. Nothing ever really ends, after all.
-She then sighs at her brother and glances over at Lyuri.-
Lucille: Sorry about them. Leo can be a prick even at the best of times, and Dragalge has always been kinda nuts.
-None of them notice Crow, though that's largely due to the amount of conversations being held simultaneously already.-

Shalour City
Valorie totally emits a noice that is somewhere between a tiny voiced giggle and a whinny, overjoyed with Sparkers' acceptance of this clearly absurd and uncomfortable situation for her.
And for a moment, she forgot she was a pokemon at all as she simply enjoyed the moment of closeness between a trainer and her pokemon. <You're the best, Sparkers...> she replied light-heartedly.
Suddenly Valorie's body began to deform again, this time splitting into limbs and retaking the form of a human. She blinked in confusion, arms now wrapped around Sparkers in a hug.
As the realization of what happened caught up with her she found herself beaming up at Sparkers in a knowing manner.

-Crewe digs through her bag a bit more intensely-
From… you know. Orre. I got in a bad fight with Tagg.
-she pulls out her normal clothes and quickly changes into them, pulling her hair into a ponytail-
Okay. I didn't put anything on inside out, did I?
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!

Somewhere outside Shalour
-Ever is training-
-like, really training-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
