-Herbert looks rather surprised.-
Herbert: Really? Could've fooled me. And taking people's stuff without asking is still a pretty shitty thing to do, you know. All you're going to do is teach him that it's okay to steal just so long as the owner isn't looking.
Lumiose City
-Leonard wordlessly waves goodbye to Cleo, then starts heading in the opposite direction.-
Illusion HQ
-Shard shakes her head.-
Shard: Incorrect. Plenty of pent-up anger and frustration to draw upon. Issue arises from bitterness lending itself poorly to restraint. Not usually a concern for most Obscurics, however. You appear to be an exception.

The image of a nerdy boy in a white lab coat bent over a beaker in a dimly lit basement immediately sprung to Valorie's mind and she snickered. "The only science I study is pokemon~" she replied light-heartedly. "Especially dragons." she was quick to add in an enthusiastic tone that hinted at her fangirlism, nodding in satisfaction with herself.
I dropped out of school to become a pokemon master, but then they pulled me right back in to get my doctorate!Shalour City
-Forte immediately notices Eskay-
Forte: Oh, hi Eskay! Does this mean I've finally caught up to you guys?
Stella: <And even when you slip up, you have to make it look graceful. If you miss the yarn ball, pretend you were aiming for the dead leaf.>
Celeste: -nods-
Stella: <They think it's cuter that way. And when they think it's cute, you get pets~>

-Mezzo opens her eyes-
Mezzo: Gah! Why are you upside-down?
Xel'lotath: -laughs-

Oh. Um. Yeah, I... bitterness doesn't work great for me.
-she frowns-
So I have to figure out how to fuel my Obscura in a way no other Obscuric does. Wonderful.
... Or at least I think they don't. I dunno if Ghost Obscura works differently. And I don't know many Dark Obscurics.

Robin: Really? I'm...Interested in that little- Oh, we're here. (that was close...Things couldn't have gotten more awkward...)
So...Electric Types...Go out, Marril!!
Marril: "Ri?! Riri?!"
Robin: I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm...OW!! Kidding...
Ok, ok, for real this time...It's your time to shine! Ferroseed!

-Herbert gives a small sigh.-
Herbert: Why do people always think that being a kid somehow excuses stupidity? When a kid does something stupid, you yell at them to make sure they don't do it again. Otherwise they're going to grow up to be entitled little bastards who think that they can get away with anything.
Illusion HQ
Shard: Not an expert on the subject. Learnt how to use Obscura naturally. Believe it to be different for each individual.
-She puts a hand on the filter of her gas mask in a gesture reminiscent of stroking one's chin.-
Shard: Mentioned using desire to protect friends as method of creating shields. In other words, use of positive emotion to power Obscura. Perhaps similar methods could be used to generate more offensive techniques?

Deziree: Oh, that's cool! I like Electric Pokemon. Which is... kinda weird, since I don't actually have any Electric-Type Pokemon with me.
-A set of five Joltik heads pop out from Deziree's bad.-
Deziree: Oh, except these guys! But they mostly just follow me around.
-One of the Joltik waves to Valorie before the five of them duck back into the bag.-

-Clemont steps out into the arena.-
Clemont: Alright! Let's get this going! Go, Emolga!
-A robotic arm reaches over and tosses a Pokeball, releasing the Flying/Electric Type.-
Emolga: <Hi! Wow, I'm in an actual Gym Battle! Just like my Aunt Slappy!>
Clemont: Start things up with Acrobatics!
-The Emolga goes diving at the Ferroseed, smacking him before darting away.-

Cun Annwn: <Oh, hi there!>
-Cun goes up the the odd Eevee and starts sniffing him.-
Cun Annwn: <You... smell familiar. Who's your trainer?>
Hildr: <Cun! Selene told us not to sniff strangers as a first meeting.>

"It's not an excuse, but just yelling at them is not the answer to it either. You should only yell if they're being really stubborn, otherwise all you're going to do is make them afraid of you or just make them get upset. There's no reason to not be gentle when dealing with them." said Sakura, sighing.

-Celeste perks her ears up and looks at Eskay-
Forte: Oh... wait, what's the Tower of Mastery? And yeah, her name's Celeste. Well, it used to be Sirius, but she decided she wanted to be a girl.
Lumiose Badlands
Mezzo: Wait, am I upside down then?
Felis: <No. You're just crazy.>
Mezzo: Gah! Xel, what did you do to me?
Xel'lotath: <We enlightened you. Perhaps now you may truly see what we can become.>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-Deziree rubs the back of her head.-
Deziree: Yeah, it's kinda weird. Science can look a little silly at first.
Coumarine Center
-The three Pokemon might notice a Stoutland and Donphan both walk in - the Donphan, already a rare sight in Kalos, is gunmetal-grey and icy blue.-
Cun Annwn: <Man, I miss when we had bad guys to fight and good deeds to do.>
Hildr: <Hey, don't worry! The fact that we haven't found any must mean that either us or other fighters against evil must be doing a good job!>

-Clemont his the button for his Leader floor.-
Clemont: Aside from, uh, a robot uprising, it's been quiet. You know. Aside from the robots.
-He rocks back and forth on his heels, obviously a little awkward with the subject.-
