With their battle finished and her unconscious pokemon recalled, Sera moved towards a bench nearby and sat on it with a contented sigh. "That was pretty good," she commented, watching Anastasia as the Umbreon trotted over to sit at her feet. The brunette leaned down to pick up the dark-type in her arms and pull her into her lap, then lifted her gaze to Luke as she asked, "Does it feel good to be out with your pokemon again?" She wasn't sure if he'd been out with them yet since regaining his mobility, but she knew quite well he hadn't been able to do much with them, if anything, while he was paralyzed. In fact, she knew that better than anyone, given she usually was the one to take his pokemon out for him.

The brunette watched as Luke spoke to his pokemon, complimenting their performance and then as he sat down. She couldn't imagine having to use a cane, but then again, she was kind of a special case in that regard. Using a cane would be difficult considering she just had one hand - what if she had to carry something? What if she had to help someone else? She couldn't really do much effectively if her only hand was occupied with a cane to keep her upright. Oh well, that wasn't really something she had to worry about anyway, so she dismissed it.
"No problem," she said with a shrug, stroking her Umbreon's head and long ears. Said Umbreon saw the Jolteon snub her trainer, and snuck forward a bit to rest her chin on Luke's knee - she would be more than happy to accept the attention he had intended to give his electric-type if she didn't want it. "It was the least I could do to help out, anyway. I think they appreciated being able to get out and train too." Or she assumed they did, anyway, though some of her pokemon had been glad for the additional company and others had been rather displeased about it.

Anastasia's blue eyes slid shut as she began making pleased noises, appearing to thoroughly enjoy the attention she was being given. Sera smiled down at the dark-type and ran her hand across her back instead. "Then yeah, I guess they liked going out then. I don't always go out every day, but Isabella's the only one that gets restless." Especially so whenever she was injured - the Absol was most restless after being shot, as well as after injuring her shoulder during the blasts in the desert.
While talk of pokemon and training was nice, there was one topic in particular that Sera really wanted to talk about, but she had no idea at all how to bring it up. Should she just come right out and say it? Should she try to be sneaky and bring it up slowly? Honestly she had no idea how to approach it, so instead she decided to bide her time and wait for a more opportune moment - and also wait to figure out the best way to phrase things for when she inevitably asked. "I think I'm going to start working on all of my pokemon, instead of focusing on just a few," she mused aloud, her gaze lowering to the Umbreon draped over her lap. At her words, there was suddenly a large muzzle near her face, and Sera looked up to find Luna immediately beside her with a very expectant look. The brunette offered the fire-type a wry smile. "I've kind of gotten the impression that maybe Luna wants to start training too."

She nodded to his statement before considering his question, lowering her gaze to Anastasia as she idly traced a couple fingers over the heart-shaped marking on her flank. "Well, when I first started training with Ray, she told me to just focus on a couple, so I was only working with Isabella and Jacques," she explained with a shrug. "And I've just been focusing on those two ever since, pretty much, though since I got Agatha I've also been trying to work with her, too. But I think that's mostly because she needs it, otherwise she'd probably go around trying to eat every other trainer's pokemon." A frown accompanied her words. She couldn't recall if Ray had told her to only ever work with a couple pokemon, or if she'd told her to work with a couple at first and then expand to her whole team, or to work with a couple at first and then take a break with them and work with a different few pokemon... Whatever Ray had said had completely slipped her mind - or maybe the older woman had said it at one of those times where Sera wasn't paying attention. That happened quite a lot actually, now that she thought about it. "I know you train all of your pokemon. Rosie does, too, I'm pretty sure," the brunette added almost as an afterthought, turning her head slightly to watch Luke out of the corner of her eye.

Indeed, having a pokemon that tried to attack and eat its opponents probably wasn't high on any list of recommendations - and probably had the potential to get Sera in trouble under the wrong circumstances, if his understanding of things that were strictly disallowed was correct. He could see giving priority to Agatha, then, but was glad to hear that Seraphine was considering bringing her others up to speed as well. A more balanced team afforded one vastly superior protection.
He nodded his confirmation, "Well, I only have five pokemon anyway - not even an entire team. I don't think Rosie trains all of hers," the gentle Meganium and ambling old Torkoal came to mind, "but yeah, I know she has a whole team that she trains, possibly plus a few extras?" She certainly had a lot of pokemon; there was no doubt about that.

Just a team's worth sounded good, and would be something she'd consider later - right now, she was more interested in furthering the other half of their conversation. In response, she merely nodded to his first statement while debating how to reply to his second. "We also talked about stuff a lot," she finally said at length, turning her head slightly to regard Luke better. For some reason, she'd thought this would be so simple and easy - but no, this was more awkward than she thought it would be. "She uh, told me that you guys... had a certain discussion previously. About feelings, and stuff." Oh yes, perfect - that was absolutely the best way to broach that subject. What a genius. Not. Ugh; oh well.
