"In this secret cabinet we have a prototype. It's not ready yet, but it will be an Ability Capsule that adds or changes the Cloud Nine ability, pushing away the dark clouds in a Pokemon's mind and making it generally happier."

"Next week we're expecting a visit from a Pokemon psychologist from the Orre region. He says he has a lot of ideas for us."

"This is a wonderful idea. Cloud Nine Ability... Pushing away dark clouds in a Pokemon's mind... That sounds like an efficient inorganic antidepressant for the traumatized Pokemon. (Shiva would always prefer organic/natural meds for the effect however if possible, at least for her Pokemon) Please do tell me, how does it create this side effect of Cloud Nine to the Pokemon? Does the capsule contain any special substances or is planned to do so, and would the Pokemon receiving the capsule be aware of the 'change'?"

In stark contrast to the other the other two women in the Tool Room, who were rather excited and deeply interested in the Cloud Nine Ability Capscle and its intended purpose, Ventus....wasn't, to put it simply. He was still smiling brightly as before, but anyone particularly close to him or was attentive to emotion like he was would notice that it had a air of forced politeness and discontent, along with the subtle shift in body language that suggested that he was far from pleased. One might wonder why he would be upset over this revelation....if they didn't know the final fate of his mother Delilah.

"....Such a device is fascinating, but I personally find that the Shelter's intended usage of the Item is somewhat...questionable in my eyes. I wish to clarify that its not the Behavior modification that I believe its wanting, as I've and my other contemporaries have employed it via through bonding, discipline and reward systems, and careful guidance towards more well mannered/non-violent behavior. No, its how invasive and unnatural the modified Ability capscle that raises my concern. Correcting depression/negativity in a Pokémon with such a sudden and jarring shift in personality andAbility, regardless whether or not its necessary to begin with.....it has some unsettling implications. I've seen the affects of similar....therapeutic practices in humans, and the result were......dubious at best," the sociologist said in a conversational tone of voice, his tone unwavering for the most part besides the emphasis he place on his last words. Thankfully, the empath didn't appear ready to suffer a bout of FURY outburst anytime soon, so there was no cause for concern right now! ....Hopefully.
