"It's... a whole lot of strange, let me tell you" Is all Kai adds, as he walks behind them with Marie in his arms. He was still trying to come to terms with it himself, so he didn't want to talk to much about it.

"Ah, yeah, that does ring a few bells..." Robin admits. "I kinda just dismissed it as fearmongering and over exaggeration, didn't really cross my mind again until now. That's a bit of a... worrying turn. Going to need to report this, and get a bit of a closer eye on things around here."
"But, uh, do me a favour, eh?" She asks, awkwardly. "Maybe... don't go mentioning this around town. As of right now, unless you know of something that can be done about it... all it'll do is cause some panic. And that's not good.""Anyways, hey, you guys really did defeat the Gym," she says, laughing, "so, probably good enough to earn a badge - even if it wasn't me. Nobody'll have to know." she winks, before reaching into her pocket for a case, where she gets two badges. "The Sky Badge. Representing clear thought and quick judgement."You get the Sky Badge! (Grants Perception.) And 2 Milestones! And 1000 Pokémon EXP.

"Thanks Robin, get some rest, we'll keep it among the people that need to be in the know about this stuff. In the meanwhile, I'm feeling a nap, maybe a few minutes with the girls, and an important phonecall. How about you Kai, kicking back for the afternoon?"

The islander quirks an eyebrow, before looking down at the lady he was carrying. "Well after dropping her off, probably gonna talk to Ruby about things... maybe figure out... y'know. How you start doing things. Might try and get something written out for Marie here. Other than that though... Yeah, kicking back sounds great."

The walk back to the Center is a little awkward, what with carrying someone... though, thankfully, Robin being around does seem to help ease any wary glances. The girls aren't immediately around, they seem to be having fun training out back, on ground level.
"How'd it go?" Ruby asks, when she sees the pair. "Get the badge all okay?"
"Or do we get to one-up you by winning first?" Evelyn teases.

"You'll be the first of us to fight Robin, but we still got our badge." Theodore replied with a dry grimness to his tone. "There was another plating in town, Ice this time. Robin wants us to keep quiet about it so it doesn't throw the town into a panic. Marie had her encased solid. We should get Mr. Stone on the horn about it when you got a minute Ruby. Where's Ayah?" There was a twinge of nervousness in the question.

"Right here, ya Slowpoke," Ayah says, waving her hand in front of Theo's face from beside him, one of the throwing discs in her hand. Her tone goes from teasing to serious quickly, though. "That's... not good. Even us sticking together doesn't keep things safe. It was us before, but... I guess now it's like Petalburg. I'm sorry... we weren't there to help."
"I will... let him know," Ruby says, sighing. "...after the Gym battle. I at least want to have that done if he wants to try and insist on me trying to come home."
"Not that you'd go along with it, right?"
"We'll... see." She sighs again.

Theo visibly starts as she waves a hand in front of him, then lets out an embarrassed laugh, covering his face in a hand and turning away from her. "Ain't nothing, Marie really wanted a gym fight and we gave her one, but afterwards she wasn't satisfied so we had to roll the sleeves up. Our Pokemon did all the work this time, Kai and I just made sure we could snap her out of it in the end. Ain't polite to sneak up on a feller y'know?" He gave her a bashful look over his shoulder.

"Well, maybe if you looked more than straight ahead," Ayah says, laughing. "Blame one of those two for having strong throws." She gestures at Ruby and Evelyn.

After making sure Marie was taken care of, Kai had let Theo take the lead to start it up, he gave a small chuckle at the joke, letting out a sigh. "Oh man, make sure you guys have a fun battle though, and Ruby, when your done I'd like to talk to you and T about the whole powers thing. Maybe try and get a primer together... Maybe also figure out how to make my own exist." He hesitates for obvious reasons at the last part, trying to brush off his worries with a smile.
"Who knows, maybe I got lucky and don't have any... Though would it really be lucky to go through it and not get anything out of it?"

"Dunno if there's so much a 'primer'," Ruby says, "So much as... just, uh, figuring out emotions, and then working on how those make you feel to do stuff. Doing stuff while scared is a lot different from doing them while angry. But, uh... if we're doing that later, might want to go out into the forest a bit, eh?"

"Imagine Evelyn's got quite an arm on her yeah." Theo admitted in good humor, giving Ayah's hand a squeeze as he listened to Kai's request. "Yeah Alright Kai, I'll show you what I've figured out about mine, guessing it varies person to person, and type to type though. Off where we won't cause no fuss anyhow."

"Yeah, even if we don't figure anything out for me, I'd like to leave something for Miss Marie. Plus... we might run into another incident, and having some idea of what to do might be a good idea" Kai held a grimace on his face, but went back to a smile after a moment.
"After you finish doing things for the day though, I'm sure we all have some stuff we wanna do, so no rush getting back!" He turns to Theodore and gives him a nod. "Gives you time to do that nap, plus I got to go buy some stuff at the Mart anyways"

Theodore weighed what they had just been through and cocked his head to one side, a wry grin slowly spreading on his face. "I think-" He began "even though we're rivals I might go cheerlead the girls in their gym bout. Just gotta grab a few fresh partners from the PC first." He didn't want to say there was no chance of a second plating so soon, but it was definitely on his mind. He'd keep Ayah safe, he promised. "Enjoy yer shopping Kai."

The girls seem surprised that Theo's tagging along, and a bit concerned that Kai'd be alone... but he'd already had an experience, and was going to be in a busy public place shopping, so... not a big issue. Probably.
And, indeed, it seems to be fine. Theo gets to watch some birds get beat up. Kai gets to get his shopping done in peace. The girls get moral support and their badge. And so everyone's happy when they reconvene later.
"So... what was it you were wanting to try, Kai?" Ruby asks.

Kai had enjoyed the time to himself, but now that they were back together the nervousness had set in again, he scratched the back of his neck mindlessly to try and ease his own tension as he had to bring the subject back up. "Well, I was hoping to get some tips on how you all... figured it out. Mostly writing them down because well, the newest one will probably need the tips. Plus, I've been having a little trouble doing anything with my stuff... and if I do have them I need to figure it out sooner rather than later, I'd think. Even if it does make me uncomfortable."

"Mine's a lot of feelings." Theodore answered, making a face. "Before I was plated, I aimed for stoicism all the time, afterwards I -had- to start expressing it. Comes out the strongest when I'm being passionate about something. Was so worried about becoming a soft touch at first, it really held me back." He explained to the islander, shifting his position a few times as though getting a feel for his words.

"Emotions do seem to play a big part, yeah," Ruby says. "When I'm scared, or angry, things can come... scarily easily. The rest of the time I have to really concentrate. Visualise exactly what I want to happen, channeling what I did instinctually in a time of rage or panic. It's... not an easy thing to get across, and it sounds like it's different to Theo."

Kai grimaces at the descriptions, but gets out a piece of paper and writes down that you have to visualize the emotions you felt when you had your powers at first. "So, I have to... try and feel what I felt back then. That's going to be difficult most of the time. I'll probably be able to use it in a pinch, but I don't think I'll be able to just tap into it with ease."

"Ah don't think that's quite right, on account of us not ending up as of our rockers now to use the stuff. The gist of it might be enough? Figure, you were pretty sad then, maybe what causes you upset does it? You cradle that feeling in your head and roll it around in there a bit, and then something happens? When you start feeling it, you direct it and it happens. Best I can explain it." Theo shrugged, and slid his hands into his pockets.
