...needless to say, I and Reiner are...less than impressed with this decision.
Moving on, though...on the plus side, that means we can move to the next thing on the metaphorical checklist...
"...Mr. Mime, could you please get some late night snacks for a pair of Eevee, a Beedrill, and a Metagross? I could use some grub myself, too. Didn't get a chance to have dinner earlier, unfortunately. Tell Arial to meet me as well. The training room should be a good spot."
The psychic butler bows his head at your first comment, feeling genuine ashamed and unhappy with himself that he could fulfill your wishes and/or expectation. If they was any doubt he was covering for her, then it could be dismissed effective immediately with how miserable you sense he feels.
However, besides that singular motion Mr. Mime quickly regains his composure gives you a nod of his head, saying "Right away, Mr. Arendse," before he goes bustling off to carry out with your orders. When he was out of sight Weavile nudges you in the side and gives you a sly, proud look, before moving his hand behind his head and opening them up, revealing a stunning platinum necklace, with a Dawn Stone set in a pendant and hanging off it. Holy moly, where the heck did he managed to flitch a piece that fabulously wealthy?! Well, all you knew is that he did and got away with it scot free, so returning it now would only serve to get him and you in trouble, so 'finders' keepers!
After that and your subsequent reaction, you made your way into the Training Room, and simulatenously Arial was informed by Mr. Mime to go meet him.
[Each of you Dragonstrike and Spiritmon have one reaction post before you meet up in the Training Room, so make it count! Mr. Mime will eventually arrive with snacks for everyone at some point after you start that 'conversation' !]

Arial was finishing his food when Mr. Mime tell him about Reiner calling him to meet him in the training room. "Well, I guess this it. Time to face the boss I guess heh." Arial clap his hands to call the attention of everyone. "Alright guys and girls. Reiner have called us to meet him in the Training Room. I hope you all have finished the dinner, because its time to return to the job. He problably be very much piss off after I disobey his orders so I think thats a good opportunity to you use your powers Alomola. Gaspar. Durendal. You two go with me." Arial then look to each pokemon of his team. "Lets go them. Dont want to keep him waiting and let him be more angrier he problably already is." Then Arial stand up from his chair and return each pokemon to their pokeballs. Except Gaspar and Durendal. He then follow Mr. Mime to the training room.

Reiner raises an eyebrow, but he doesn't tell Weavile off for it since the feline was being conservative and discrete instead of charging in guns blazing with obvious intentions. In fact, he gets a nod for a job well done since there is a need for a little more money right now. Now then, let's not mention this again. That necklace is getting pocketed for sure.
Old habits sure are hard to break, aren't they?
------------------------------------------------------
Pretty simple stuff for Reiner, actually. Purpose of this is to feed those Risuko berries to Metagross (Four of them) and GTH Beedrill (Two of them). Let's call it an...appetizer, shall we say. That should fix the Loyalty issues with those two lickety split.
He also takes the time to present Poe with that Reaper Cloth he 'found' earlier. Figured the little guy would at least like to hold it, regardless of whether it does much for him mechanically. He can even probably wear it like a scarf.
Weavile's hangin' at the back of the room, as usual. He's found his own snacks already (Reiner knew he would). Nom.
Reiner's chattin' with Ridia about Emily's drawings. He shows her the one she did of him and Weavile, and also talks about how the mighty Yang found her work 'passable'. Maybe that'll help her warm up to the idea a little more.

Everyone reacts with varying degrees of worry and displeasure, with Sekmet letting out a nasty sounding *Bzzzrt!* at the news, Melchoir looking grumpy and uncomfortable at facing Renier while he was cheesed off, Baltazar accepting things with a calm weary resignation, and Asura with a unhappy but resolute/accepting look.
Gaspar and Durendal, however, didn't seemed that put off you meeting your boss/receiving your punishment, with your mimic brother transforming into a floating white hand to pat you on the back in support before shifting back to cat form, and the scorpiobat clacking both claws and pumping them to cheer you right up! Alomomola, seeing as she is your newest Pokémon and wasn't informed of the consequences of your actions earlier, was hopelessly confused/clueless about what was going on about this 'you boss being pissed off' , but she hopped to attention and gave you an eager/determined/concerned look when you requested her medical assitence/therapeutic powers in the future!
You then made your way to the Training Room following the instruction Mr. Mime gave you earlier, Gaspar on your shoulder as per usual and Durendal currently perched on top of your head/hat.
When you arrive, you find Reiner hanging out with his Pokémon as he described in his post [Which I will get to responding ASAP!], and thanks to all the eyes/ears around he was alerted to your presence pronto.
His response....

Weavile is pleasantly surprised that you didn't ream him for getting sticky fingers in the suite, before he gives you his characteristic smirk and returns your nod with one of his own. Before you put away the Dawn Stone Pendant, though, you notice that Ridia was clutching your shoulder with more force (enough that it was starting to hurt a little), and when you turned to figure out why she was doing that you saw her stare it with an captivated, enraptured look of her face. Poe, however, was completely uninterested in it, only shooting his sister a weird look for her fascination with the Evolution Stone before continuing to snuggle in your arms.
Interesting....

Summoning Metagross was a easy affair, with them slowly blinking/booting up as they scanned their surrounding, before their attention inevitably was focused on you shortly thereafter. They stared at you for awhile, seemingly perplexed at the situation/place it found itself in now, until it noticed you were holding its Pokeball and offering it some berries to munch on. Subsequently after that you felt yourself being 'pinged' by the living supercomputer, before it you heard its 'voice' loud and clear!:

He ....And that last line repeated itself a couple of times in your head before they severed the connection, giving you an expectant look and opening their mouth to devour the Risuko Berries. You could only dumbly/dazingly comply as you deposited 4 of them in their, which it then calmly devoured. The effects of the berries kicked in shortly thereafter, manifesting in the ultra logical Pokémon as bumping their New Owner up the Chain of Command/List of Important Beings That Should Be Listened Too, bumping them past their old owner and putting you on top of the list, equal to that of itself! Metagross's Loyalty has been raised by 4; 4 Risuko Berries used!
The GTH Beedrill, unlike the living supercomputer that had coldly and impersonally invaded your mind, just stared at you and the offer Berries with only slight hesitation, before they too accepted and ate them. Suddenly the hornet found all their reservations about you melt away and her connection strengthen with you, causing her to let out a *Bzzzzzzz!* of delight and fly over to briefly hug you in acceptance/friendliness! Talk about a social insect right there! GTH Beedrill's Loyalty Raised by 2; 2 Risuko Berries used!
Unlike with the Dawn Stone, the Little Bro took keen interest in the fragment of the grim reaper's cloak, sniffling and pawing at it for a bit before letting out an excited/accepting "Eevee!" and gladly equip it on him like a scarf. Not only did he look more cool/cute wearing the Reaper's Cloth, but he felt himself absorbing the Item's power and becoming strengthened by it! He's definitely happy you gave it to him now! While wearing the Reaper Cloth, Poe has a - 1 Damage Reduction against all types of Attacks except Dark, Fighting, Fire, Fairy, and Dragon, and his Hidden Power's effect now proc if it has 3 Success as well! He also immune to Rads as he wears it as well! Fantastic!
When Arial arrived later to head your summons, you immediately was alerted to his presence by all your Pokémon.
Your response...
EDIT: Oh, and since you never introduce Ridia to Yang (unless I forgot!), she has no idea or reason to respect that name, but she is indeed impressed by the picture you shown her and the clear talent that little girl put in it. As a result, she's more neutral about the idea of letting Emily draw her/her brother, but she's by no means eager/excited!

Oh? Well, that's intriguing...VERY intriguing...still putting it away for now, but we'll be investigating this later for sure...
-------------------------------------------------
Side note: forgot to let someone else join in on this snack time, so let's fix that, shall we? Raijin gets to join in too. Same with Felicia Raijin's probably also hangin' out in the back of the room with his usual calm, 'don't care about much' attitude. Felicia...well, she's being herself too, I suppose. Mr. Mime can fetch them some snacks as well if there aren't enough, I assume.
When Arial enters, well...Reiner's clearly annoyed. But also strangely calm...a little TOO calm, one might say...
"...well, I hear you've had quite a day. Hear you've made a new friend, even. Funny, 'cause I did too."
Reiner stares at Arial. Those blue eyes of his are even more piercing than usual...
"...so let me ask you this: do you think it was worth the risk and the trouble it caused?"
Poe's probably a little intimidated by just how serious Reiner's become with virtually no warning. Though Reiner's mindful of that and has set Poe down to go over to Ridia if need be (and she's probably keeping herself between Poe and Arial, I imagine, since Reiner doesn't seem to be very pleased with the stranger who just entered the room)
Reiner stares at Arial for a moment longer...and answers his own question.
"...well, well...no feelings of regret. But if you were disobeying my orders to do your job, you should have done so. Instead, you almost die to a Muk of all things. Do you know why I told you to stay behind? It was so Clair wouldn't trash your tail end and kick it into next week. So you wouldn't set her off prematurely and cause an even bigger scene than she already did. You didn't do that, which is good, but you got your teeth kicked in by something else in the process. You have the resolve, but lack the competence to back it up. That is not going to fly if it keeps happening."
More staring.
"I'm having Mr. Mime bring up snacks, but before we get to that...you keep saying you wish to battle me? Well, now's your chance. I'm not letting you leave this room until you do. Prove to me you aren't going to get completely crushed by an opponent that outmatches you. Get on that battlefield and send out your first pokemon. Do not expect me to take it easy on you. I'll allow you six pokemon with one supporting pokemon in the back, though, because you're going to need it. I've already chosen my first pokemon. Poe, I want you to play the supporting roll on my side, please. You have my word that if he attacks you even once, I will tear him a new one. I'll even let Ridia do it."
Mandatory Surprise Battle Challenge for Arial!
- Difficulty: Hard/Boss level, maybe?
- Rules: Reiner will use 6 pokemon with Poe acting as support in the back. Arial is allowed to use up to 6 plus a support of his own (ie Alomomola). This is a Full Battle (supports are not allowed to be attacked, btw) where fainting is allowed (feel free to forfeit a pokemon like what Nelly did with her Granbull if you feel they're getting creamed a little too hard), and Reiner has already picked his first pokemon, so choose carefully what you send out first...
- Item use: Allowed, but think carefully about if it's REALLY worth using them here instead of any of the more important encounters later...and also carefully consider who you've used Potions on today already.
(Arial does not have to win this battle, but he needs to give it his absolute best, period.)

Arial stare back Reiner and listening all the time he was speaking. He make some serious face. When Reiner finish his speech, Arial did not show any emotion. Then after a few seconds Arial face turn to a....smile? Arial begin to snickeri for a while then he burst in laughs!
"HAhahahaahaha. Sorry! I simple can't keep the serious face for too much time! Ahahaha!" Then Arial decided to control himself. He clean a tear then finally talk again. "*Snort* I sorry. Its just...the idea is almost comically you know? You are clear more stronger than me, like a LOT. And you from all people, decided to bring this type of challenge to me, who dont stand a chance against you. I dont know if I cry or laugh now. Ahaha." Then Arial stop to laugh. "If you "boss" want to hear if my day wortly I think it is. Learn from my mistakes in my battle against Delta Muk, and got some good experience in battle. Knock out a police man to help you in your escape against Clar and avoid you been caugh, you welcome by the way, and get the chance to smug his pokemons: A Gogoat and a Smeargle. And I have follow what you instructed me to do: Learn to be social. I befriend a Ace Trainer, battle her, got some good experience in battle, and got a Alomola healer to help us in our journey to the Nuclear Factory, and for the last but not less important I have strenghed my bond with my Empirilla making him more obedient wich might be very muc uselful in our next mission. As you can see, I was very much busy too."
Then Arial clear some dust in his clotes. "And let me tell you something: You could at least warn me you girl Emily is a Meta Human. Or another person revive by Mew powers. As much I admit it is my fault, you could at least warn me about this revive thing. And let me tell you something: I indeed try to find you and do my job as a bodyguard, but I was busy trying to help your route of escape. And trying to catch a Steel Pokemon, yes that Muk was a Delta variant with Steel typing, and trying not to die by the explosion. My pokemon and myself receive serious Lethal Damage, and I have took some time to recover. Ah, as a side note too, I have heard that dark entity again, the same person who share with me the visions. He call him "Volrik the Elusive Darkness" or something like that. He kinda save me from that explosion who obliterate me. And I indeed have die in that explosion. Than...he somehow change reality or create some sort of ilusion when I was alive but...Gaspar have die..."
Arial make a pain with memory. "But than he somehow change reality again, or break the ilusion, I dont know, and have bring back both me and Gaspar from that explosion. So yeah, you was not the only one who have a bad day. Who is this Volrik guy anyway? Why he is interest in me and you? Well in you I can understand since you are Mew Choosen one, but why me? I dont have such Legendary status, I only a crazy Rocket Grunt Bodyguard. I dont have such status. Care to explain?"
And after share all this information he talk again. "After this, that "voice" have tell me the exatcly location of your battle against Clair, but I was in a bad shape along with my pokemon. With only leave me with two choices: Go to your location already in scraps and be killed, or go to a pokemon center and save my life and my pokemon. As much I your bodyguard Reiner, my family comes in first place. I have go to the pokemon center, and there I have meet Riza who inform me about the huge explosion between Z-Moves of you and Clair. And have inform me the battle have already over. Since you already have deal with Clair, and was alive, I decided to take a battle before return to the Hotel, and learn a few pokedollars to buy some healing item and pokeballs to our next mission. In my path I meet Nelly a Ace Trainer who I already told I have befriend. She even taught me some battle tips I shall put in use. She even trade with me her Alomola to mine Carracosta who she will train for a while to help her be a little more behave. And avoid hit you with Water Gun again. And that Alomola is a Cleric, so if we by chances receive damage, her powers will be very much useful."
"Oh, and I accept your challenge of pokemon battle. You should know by now that intimidated mind tricks dont work very much against a madman like me. But before we engage to our battle, let me put just a few conditions."
1 - No lethal damage. We will have a clean and honror battle. I dont want any pokemon of mine killed and I believe nor you want.
2 - Our support pokemon will only help once per round. That way you cant abuse of the suport abilities from your Eevee and I cant abuse the healing power.
3 - Its gonna be a 6x6 in single battles. You pokemon its already powerfull and scary enough in single battles. In duals its even more scare.
4 - Each one of us can only Mega Evolve one pokemon. Even if your use a revive in your pokemon, you cannot Mega Evolve him, so keep that in mind.
Arial after told that informations he think loud. "But if is 6x6 pokemons, I am disavantage because that leave me with only 5 of mine versus 6 of yours...unless..." Then Arial look to Durendal who is in his head. "I know I may asking you much Durendal, but Reiner its a strong opponent and I might a extra pair of pincers to fight against him, and your help would be very much appreciated. But only if you want of course, but I may need your help...can you help with that buddy? It might be a good chance to fight against a strong foe and make you grown." (Reaction to that @ Lord Windos!)
"And before anything let me do some preparations before sending or engaging in our battle!"
(Waitig Reiner reaction to these things Arial say @ Dragonstrike!)

Arial stare back Reiner and listening all the time he was speaking. He make some serious face. When Reiner finish his speech, Arial did not show any emotion. Then after a few seconds Arial face turn to a....smile? Arial begin to snickeri for a while then he burst in laughs!
"HAhahahaahaha. Sorry! I simple can't keep the serious face for too much time! Ahahaha!" Then Arial decided to control himself. He clean a tear then finally talk again. "*Snort* I sorry. Its just...the idea is almost comically you know? You are clear more stronger than me, like a LOT. And you from all people, decided to bring this type of challenge to me, who dont stand a chance against you. I dont know if I cry or laugh now. Ahaha." Then Arial stop to laugh. "If you "boss" want to hear if my day wortly I think it is. Learn from my mistakes in my battle against Delta Muk, and got some good experience in battle. Knock out a police man to help you in your escape against Clar and avoid you been caugh, you welcome by the way, and get the chance to smug his pokemons: A Gogoat and a Smeargle. And I have follow what you instructed me to do: Learn to be social. I befriend a Ace Trainer, battle her, got some good experience in battle, and got a Alomola healer to help us in our journey to the Nuclear Factory, and for the last but not less important I have strenghed my bond with my Empirilla making him more obedient wich might be very muc uselful in our next mission. As you can see, I was very much busy too."
Then Arial clear some dust in his clotes. "And let me tell you something: You could at least warn me you girl Emily is a Meta Human. Or another person revive by Mew powers. As much I admit it is my fault, you could at least warn me about this revive thing. And let me tell you something: I indeed try to find you and do my job as a bodyguard, but I was busy trying to help your route of escape.

"...take this seriously, Arial, or I will crush you completely. I didn't ask for the details of your day. I'm going to give you another 30 seconds max to prepare, and that's being generous. You wouldn't have time at all if you were in a realistic, hostile situation."
Dude, Reiner is not kidding here. Better make it quick, before he blows his top...
