Pokemon Umbral Intermission: The Ensnaring Conspiracies

[Dracorion]

Pierce and Chizuru

"Mister Granger! Guess what?! Oh, uhh...nevermind. Are you okay?"
"Oh, uh... yeah, I'll be fine." Pierce answered nervously. Then he noticed that Chizuru and the rest of the Kimonos looked roughed up, and instantly forgot his worries. After they finished explaining that they lost their base, Pierce tried to be encouraging. "It'll be fine, we'll get it back." Then, he asked Chizuru worriedly, "But, are you, errrrr... all of you okay? How did it happen? And what are you going to do now?"

Irene and Sophia

"Th- Thank you very much." Sophia replied weakly, blushing at Irene's praise. "U- ummm... well," She continued nervously but politely. "I was told to fully answer any of your questions, so if you have anything to ask about my abilities or the things I'm supposed to be testing, please feel free."

Pierce and Jeanette

Pierce chucked at Jeanette's explanation. "Heh, that's good." Then, he expression changed to something more worried. "But, are you sure she should be joining PATCA? I get that's what she wants and all, but is she mature enough to make that kind of decision? It's just... kids shouldn't be risking their lives for us. It's hard enough just watching Mio fight." He said resignedly.

Pierce and Natalya

"Well..." Pierce's expression changed to something downcast, his eyes left Natalya's and fixated on the ground instead. "I was happy, at first. It's just, this last mission... I don't know what you've heard, Chief, but I just... feel useless. Like try as I might, I can't do anything right." He sighed.
