You decide the best course of action is to be direct, but as obtuse about it as you can. Ask for exactly what you need but not explain why.
You take out Gremlin, the pink fae staring at the balding man in front of you. "See? He's so listless. Very unlike a impidimp, hes almost like a shadow pokemon with how aloof and closed off he is... What do I do?"
"Hmmm... Have you tried fighting with him?" The man strokes his shaven chin pondering.
"Yes, a few times, but I don't have a secondary pokemon to support, and I fear that too much injuries will, even if he opens his heart, may give him the wrong message." You look at Gremlin with a frown. "I don't want his only emotional care in the world to be violence."
"And... since he is so aloof, you don't have a single clue what he likes do you? Can't just resort to the spa treatment or games?"
"...We have a spa?" You are shocked. Why? You are in prison!
He chuckles. "Not exactly, some of the students set up a Pokemon Club, that does spas. They are quite on the up in up for... hold on." He pulls on his drawer and pulls out a pokeblock dispenser, he pops a blue candy in his mouth. "Mmmm. Yeah, the pokemon club is pretty good at what they do." He shakes his head. "But that's not my suggestion."
"Eh?" You frown. "If not the thing everyone likes, then what else is there?"
He burps. "Oh simple. What ever the thing is that YOU like Gurie."
"...Huh?" Now you are confused. "But that just makes ME happy."
"And if you want Gremlin to like you, you have to like yourself. Or be happy." The proffessor leans back on his chair, placing another block on his tongue. "They need to know what a Gurie even means, besides the business and strategy. And maybe they'll like you. Maybe they won't, but they won't open up unless they know what they are getting into, and even if they don't like it... hate is closer to love then apathy."
"But there is so much to do!" You look around, and you do see some of the people in the classroom have red R tattoos, here and there. "I have things to do! People to talk to!"
"And I have nothing to do!" Barry Berry looks smug at you, yawning. "And my Slaking likes me a lot more then Gremlin likes you. Heh." He laughs before falling back a sleep.
That's... probably pretty helpful! You can't just do things everyday... you need to do NOTHING! Aggressively! Just like Team Lazy always does!
That conversation didn't take so long, so you have time, for some small things.
>Play with Gremlin
>Play with Mimikyu
>Hey! Its that blackbelt that Nimrah clowned on, what's he doing here
>One of the grub club members is in this class... actually quite a few, approach them, at least to get some snacks
>Spend the time making dolls/making lockpicks
>You notice there are books in the room, you can read them.
>Wait, Barry didn't lock his desk shelf when he opened it to get his snacks
