-Herbert rolls over to face the wall opposite Lyuri.-

Herbert: I... I got creeped out. Said some things that were stupid and dumb, like I always do. Didn't stop to think until he'd already walked away...

Illusion HQ

Shard: Good. Will be leaving now, then. And remaining inconspicuous, as you requested.

-She heads out of the door and shuts it quietly behind her, leaving wispy shadows in her wake.-

"So you, being you, probably did things such as a threaten to throw up, talk about how disgusting it was... Duke was already having some discomfort with the whole thing and you make it even worse. You do that to the guy who is always trying to help you out, offers a shoulder for you to cry on, teaches you how to fight and control Aura and might just be a big brother figure to you. Let that just sink in for a moment."

-Herbert simply stares at the wall for at least half a minute. When he finally manages to stutter some words out, he sounds as if he's on the brink of tears.-

Herbert: ...I hadn't... I never thought about it like that, I never think in the first place... I was an idiot, just like I always am, some stupid, arrogant, bigoted, judgemental little kid who just spews hatred and bile every time he opens his fat mouth... Duke hates me now, doesn't me? More than he already did, I mean...

-Bishop simply watches the scene play out in front of him, looking deeply uncomfortable.-

A fancy room in the Hotel Richissime

(Mikki is sitting at a desk, glowering evilly at a closed yellow scrapbook. Meanwhile, his Magnezone is carefully positioning a batch of iron filings on top of a steel block.)

Mikki: That damn Delphox... she lied to me! I could have handled Cleo having another partner, but lying about it... that is going too far!

Thorvald: <Observation: Your romantic priorities are kinda-sorta warped.> ∩>∩

(Unable to understand Thorvald, Mikki punches the desk.)

Mikki: And then she has to go and stick up for that pile of mange, and the most successful relationship I've ever had - POP! Down the drain! All that effort for nothing!

(He starts banging his head on the desk repeatedly.)

*bang* Fuck this. *bang* Fuck this. *bang* Fuck this. *bang* Fuck this.

Rainier: (sleepily) <Oh, shut it, Casanova.>

(As Mikki seemingly attempts to give himself a brain injury, Thorvald finally manages to arrange the filings into a slightly grainy but highly accurate picture of Cleo's face. Extrapolating his magnetic forces elsewhere, the UFO-like Pokémon lifts the scrapbook into the air and holds it upside-down. The pages fly open, revealing the book's contents - page after page of girl's faces, all drawn with unerring accuracy in iron particles. After finding an empty page, Thorvald presses the scrapbook to the block for a good minute or so before raising it into the air.)

Thorvald: <Observation:Perfect as always, Thorvald ol' boy.> ∩^∩

(The book, now with a rusty red image of Cleo adorning its pages, is lowered back onto the desk.)

(As for Twitch? She's nowhere to be seen. Unbeknownst to everyone else in the room, she ran off mere minutes ago to try and find Pakhet.)

Sari: -Looking at the Blazikenite- <So lemmie get this straight... With this stone and the stone on your ring I can become some sort of super-Blaziken?>

Lina: Temporarily, but yes.

Sari: <Awesome! Let's test it out!>

Lina: We gotta find someone to battle with first.

Sari: <Alright...>

"I can't tell, because you've made him so ashamed about the whole thing that he isn't speaking to anyone anymore." said Lyuri, seemingly not ready to stop yet "What we did was completely harmless and had absolutely nothing to do with you. Yet, when Duke is the one having trouble, you couldn't just try to give him some support in spite of your feelings about the concept or at least complain lightly so as to not offend him, maybe just say something like 'Oh man, did you guys really do that?' while still at least giving him some support. But no, you just had to open that mouth of yours and make the discomfort evolve into utter shame as if he had commited a sin."

Lyuri pauses for a moment

"What is your plan, Herbert? What do you want to win by making Duke go through that? Do you want to make him uncomfortable so he breaks up with me since you probably can't bear to see your 'big brother' dating a girl you hate? Do you want him for yourself? Because there's no way you're being so insensitive by accident."

-Bishop hesitates for a moment, then steps forward.-

Bishop: <Lyuri, I think I'm going to have to stop you there. Whilst I in no way condone my trainer's actions, he is currently->

-He is interrupted by a quiet, pathetic sob coming from the bed.-

Herbert: No... no, don't stop her, she's right... I'm worthless, I'm pathetic, I'm nothing more than a miserable piece of human trash who deserves everything that's being thrown at him... I don't deserve a friend like Duke, and he doesn't deserve to put up with an insolent little shit like me... maybe I should just do everybody a favour and string myself up with my scarf...

Lyuri finally stops and unfolds her arms, now looking more worried than angry.

"Whoa, stop right there. That's not going to help anyone. Nobody wants you dead for what happened, you don't even need to know Duke well-enough to know that he wouldn't. Just stop pretending you're going to improve your social skills and actually do it. When you're talking with someone, stop, think about what you're going to say and then speak out. Use the freaking Aura powers to know how the person is feeling, ''you can read emotions for Darkrai's sake, so do it! It's not so hard. If you want to make sure that you don't say anything you shouldn't, then just have someone act as your alarm."

Lyuri then turns to Bishop, with a very calm, if serious, tone.

"You for example. You know Herbert than probably anyone else here, if you see that he's about to start to start insulting someone for no good reason, don't be afraid to make him stop, be it by yelling at him or by giving him a hit on the head if he doesn't stop if it's all for his own good. Even if he's probably going to complain if you interrupt him, at least you can stop him of just making things worse for him and everybody else this way."

She then looks back at Herbert

"You need to control yourself. You can't rely on someone to keep you in place all the time, you should learn with what you're doing and improve from then on. It's not because you have your colossal number of issues that you're allowed to be a jerk to everybody and get instant sympathy. I know you have trust issues that just got worse because of what happened to us in Orre, but if you keep going this way, people won't be able to count with you for anything because they'll be afraid you'll just make things worse. In fact, I'm pretty sure Duke didn't want to tell you about what we did for exactly this reason and if he can't trust you to help, then who can?"

-Herbert curls up into a ball, tears staining his sheets.-

Herbert: Just... just leave me alone... there's no point in trying to fix things now, I'm already hated, and for good reason... why bother wasting perfectly good advice on some broken asshole who's only going to ignore it? Just go back to hating me... Arceus knows I deserve it...

-Bishop gives Lyuri a hard look in return.-

Bishop: <As quick as you are to condemn his insensitivity, might I remind you what Herbert went through as a result of your own thoughtlessness? I think you tried to make your point far too aggressively. Not that I should be surprised, mind. You could stand to learn a few things about your attitude yourself.>

Doradan: Oh! Greetings, ma'am. I was just looking for my rival, but seeing as he doesn't appear to be in the city, I think I can accommodate if you desire!

-He slips a Pokeball off of his belt.-

Doradan: Go, Katarina!

-He gives the ball a toss, and a Weavile pops out.-

Katarina: <Time to test my blades~>

"I know. I know. I mess up all the time. I tried to help the one closest to me and only made things worse by being reckless, I'm trying to be more careful. I guess I'm still a bit angry about this whole thing so I came out as more aggressive than I really wanted to..." said Lyuri, sighing "I won't deny it, Herbert and I are very similar so a large portion of what I said applies to me as well, but I'm trying, I think I'm improving even if I can get a little out of control when angry, that's something I'm going to work on."

Lyuri then turns to Herbert

"Talk with Duke, apologize. He never hated you, no matter what that crazy corrupted version of him said. Stop being paranoid, don't think everybody secretly has a deep hatred of you. All friends have something that they don't like in each other and all friends also fight occasionally, that's not reason to think they hate you unless they say it themselves and if they did, they wouldn't be afraid of telling you. As far as I know, nobody has told you that yet and no, I don't hate you, never did. Stop making assumptions like that all the time." she sighs again.

-Herbert curls up more tightly.-

Herbert: You don't have to try and spare my feelings... they're not worth caring about... I know Duke doesn't want to hear from me ever again, I can tell, you don't have to try and convince me otherwise... p-please, just g-go...

-Bishop's expression becomes rather ugly as he throws another glance over at Lyuri.-

Bishop: <Perhaps you've "helped" enough for one day.>

Doradan: What?! What?! Where did you get a Mega Ring?! Not even my family has one of those!

-He recalls Katarina and begins fidgeting.-

Doradan: Crap crap crap um um um... Go, Nami!

-He throws another Pokeball, and a Milotic appears.-

Nami: <Hm? I thought we were going to fight your rival. Oh well, this'll make a good warmup.>

Herbert: What's the point? Why bother giving him a hollow, meaningless apology? The best thing I can do for him is spare him from having to put up with the shit I give him ever again...

-Bishop's ugly look turns into an outright glare.-

Bishop: <I'm serious. Did you honestly think that barging in here, yelling at him, and then giving him orders was going to provide him with even the slightest amount of help? All continuing like this will do is hurt and embitter him further. You've given him more than enough grief during the time that you've known him. Give the boy some time, unless you want him to make good on his earlier threat.>

She then leaves, looking both frustated and depressed
