"...yes.  I need to see if I can keep the situation from getting any worse before it actually does, even though I'd rather not go there at all as well.  Erika can't do anything about it herself and has asked me to look into this, and Mew doesn't want to see the whole city overrun by Nuclear types and then leveled by a fellow Legendary in response, so..."

He kneels down in front of Emily.

"If things go really sour, I promise we will get the heck out of there, and deal with the NRF another way.  Mew and I don't have any plans involving getting killed in there.  Alright?"
...

"In other news, one of my preparations is something I don't think you'll want to miss, and a little bit of help from you would also be appreciated.  You want to see Ridia evolve?"  Notably, though, he's not said what Ridia is going to evolve into yet...

------------------

Reiner chuckles and gives Adam an appreciative pat on the hard, currently non-barbed shell.  "Appreciate the offer, but that's not quite what I was referring to at the moment.  Erika didn't use ya very often in battle, right?  Well, you're about to see a little action.  Familiar with Nuclear types?  Gonna be facing a bunch of those, and you're very well suited for the task of battling the glowing, green beasties.  Up for a little challenge?  This isn't going to be easy once we get into the thick of things."

Emily didn't make a peep as you confirmed her assumption, her gloved hands balled up into fists and head still titled downwards in consterned worried.  Your Thursday night hunt for the Vampire and confrontation with....with that MONSTER impressed upon the smol artist just how dangerous your lifestyle could be. So hearing that you were going to stalk headfirst into the goulish and infamous NRF.....well, it was clear she didn't like that one bit. Hero or not in her eyes, she knew you weren't invincible.....

However, your solemn assurance does cause her to slowly relax, loosening her near fabric tearing grip as she looked back at you with hope, before she leaned to envelope you in a hug you.

".....Alright, minster. If you, Miss Erika, and Mew think you have go over there and.....take care of it, then it must be really important. *Sniff* ...I know you can do anything and are super tough minster, but....please be careful. Okay?"

...

The little miss was seemingly disarmed of her worry when you brought up Big Sis' upcoming Evolution, causing her to let out a cute little *Gasp!* as she let you go and clasped both hands in front of her.

"Really? *Smiles, and softly giggles* Yes, yes! I want to see her become big and strong, and help however I can! You can count on me!"

With that excited agreement, the two of you make your way back to the Training Room....

…and where greeted with the sight of Lindworm cemented on the floor by Sliggoo, who was just simply (and eagerly) cuddling with him, looking extremely and blissfully content. The excommunicated acolyte for his part looked resigned to this fate, until he spot you two entering the room, giving the girl a quick glance before looking at you in an almost pitiful and definitely plaintive manner.

"....Help?"

The Dragosnail hasn't noticed either of you yet, too busy giving ETLC to her hunk of a master, while Emily couldn't help but place a hand over her mouth to smother a giggle at the sight. Yang seemed completely non-plussed by all this, but you feel that he was faintly amused by this too.

Guess you can't leave these two alone, huh?

------------------

A shake from the barbed ironweed was her response to your first question, somehow looking put off by that fact. She liked battling as much as the next Pokémon, so being denied that pastime for long stretches of time wore on her greatly. Hearing the status quo was soon going to change caused her to perk right back up and let out a pleased hum, before she gave you an eye smile in response. Oh, isn't THAT news she loved to hear!

She gave you a confused tilt of her head when you brought up Nuclear types, as due to being sheltered/put up for so long left her completely oblivious of their existence, but the bio metallic colossus was swift to bob herself up and down in simple but plain excitement at the mention of wading into some serious 'good' fights. Yes, that was EXACTLY the sort of thing she's been wishing for a long time.  She's already taken a shine to her new master, but if he keeps up with the good news she might start dancing with joy!
