Maria: I tried to keep my powers a secret, but as you know, it wasn't enough. I owe my life to my training, and my Semblance. At the end of the day, those are still your most powerful tools.
Ruby: What is your Semblance?
[A lemon falls from a tree, and Maria catches it]
Maria: Preflexes! A silly name I came up with. Hard to explain, but I can sense everything better than most and react to attacks almost before they happen. Combine that with my training and secret ability to turn Grimm to stone, or blind them, or vaporize them, and that's how you become the Grimm Reaper!

Jeremie gets up to see both Ulrich and Yumi facing him in Pencak Silat stances. William attends Aélita, trying to get her up.
Ulrich: He may be powerful, but I bet he doesn't know Pencak Silat.
Jeremie: Our godlike mind has learned all forms of martial arts around the world and mastered them to the highest degree.
He takes up his own stance.
Yumi: Well, this might be hard….
Jeremie proceeds to pummel both of them. William jumps in and tries to stop him. But even with three against one, they are no match for Jeremie.

.Brock: Normally, the battles we've seen Paul in are ones where he's busy polishing his Pokémon's moves, or when his complete objective is testing their strength... but it's not like that at all today.
Reggie: A Pokémon battle will test both a Trainer's intellectual ability as well as judgment. Yeah, Paul has dissected Ash's battle style, and keeps Ash from battling soundly. And that means Paul's going at it with nothing less for his goal than a 100% sure win.
