>>55004086>It would be a cool twist if Briar WAS the bad guy but was such a pushover as a trainer that Kieran ends up stealing her role at the climax.Based on his description this is is the likely scenario.
Xerosic played the "witness" role in XY, but Lysandre was still the culprit. Even so, it was this motherfucker that drove things forward to that point. Briar's expression in the key art gives me those same vibes.
