Palila shifted to the side so that Neith could get out of her seat, wondering why she shouted at Renny for doing the interview. She watched with confusion as the girl was overcome with terror and collapsed on the floor near the entrance, and Amy rushed to her.

Renny was right- if this was Alola, it would be a little pathetic to have so much fear over a group like team skull. Team Galactic so far had hardly been a threat- Plus, the interview now meant people of the public and law enforcement might know about their wormhole-homeless status and be more sympathetic and helpful. At least that's what she expected. She kept her mouth shut though, since everyone seemed out to shout at the creep and she wasn't sure if he was worth being associated with yet. Sophie asked if she was coming with the group, and left her to think about it. She looked down at Dartrix, who tilted its head slightly.
"Alright buddy, you better catch me if I stack it." She mumbled to her pokemon.

As people nearby took out their mobiles or various poke-devices to capture the scene the group was making, Palila stood up. Amy and Neith clearly didn't like being on camera, but she would be happy to be!
"Oy dudes, don't film her! Turn those cameras this way, folks!" She felt a grin coming onto her face, and stood loudly up onto the table, forcing most people in the room to look over her way instead. Dartrix stood behind her, spreading his wings wide so it looked like she had a cape.
"Are you ready? This restaurant has me head over heels! So, check out this sweet move!" She turned around and stood at the edge of the table with her back to the crowd, heels pressing right up against the rim. A slight bounce, to check how easy it would be to push off from, and then a great PUSH up into the air.

Surely a backflip in a fancy restaurant was worth some social media attention.

She tucked her body tight, feeling the momentum roll up through her legs and flip her upside down in the air. Trying to be careful not to overspin, she brought her legs back down just in time to catch herself on the ground. Well, nearly. She skidded backwards a little as she landed on the ground, having overshot it a little.
Palila caught herself on the edge of the table, now facing the crowd again, and noticing that the restaurant staff looked apalled. The group of trainers, however, seemed to have all been coralled outside by Sophie.
"Okaythanksbye!"

With a squeak of sneakers, Palila and Dartrix high-tailed it out of there, busting through the exit doors with gusto.
"Yeah lets go! Kick up your heels, kiddos! Wooo!" She couldn't help but let out a hoot of joy, running ahead of the group and catching up with Matthias, who was somehow far out in front.
"Yo, Shiftry boy! Don't tell me you're having a breakdown too?" She jabbed at him, noticing he didn't exactly look pumped.
