Erika would think for a minute as she tried to recall exactly what Lileep can do. Unfortunately no rock moves yet so that meant she had no advantage move wise. Eep was pretty slow, too, so there wasn't really any point outside of attempting to bunker down and do what she could against a Beedrill. "Eep, Ingrain." It seemed logical to literally anchor themselves down for the fight, after all. Of course, Erika wanted Beedrill to come in close, waiting for an oppurtunity to blast the Bug Type with a face full of bug-remover. Following, Beedrill's poison sting, Erika would quickly command Eep to use Acid!

Oopsie! Uh, I’m traveling and won’t get a good opportunity to do any revisions for awhile. Assume Reina just moved forward and around the corner.

Reina
Reina eyes went wide fearing she'd be struck by the axe fighter only to see a sudden spell blast the man away. She exhaled a hefty sigh of relief before turning to Aldo. "Thank you..." She said under her breath turning her attention forward again but not before taking a brief pause to consider the fallen Grado knight. Some man just gave his life for this cause, Reina could only imagine what it was like upstairs... No. She needed to focus.
Reina began to move only to notice her Isolde, her bodyguard, take off. "Hey! Wait!" Reina called chasing after her, only to be slightly surprised by a mercenary around the corner. Instinctively, Reina moved to engage the man, thrusting her rapier into his center mass. However unlike last time, she learned that one hit might not be it so she called out for help. "Aldo!" Looking for that similar one-two punch as before.
❄Erika Olson❄
"A badge is still having at least one, right? That's so good! And winning a contest is something, too!" Erika praised Claire's accomplishment, but was secretly quite jealous that she had zero badges to show for her time as a trainer. This exchange didn't help her confidence as she really couldn't think of anything she did as extraordinary as Claire. Of course, Erika wasn't quite giving herself any credit for anything but that's how she was. "Oh well yea but I don't think that's something..." Erika mumbled, looking a bit embarrassed with herself.
It was true, she needed convincing but to be offered a battle so soon was something that took her off guard. "A battle here? Right now? Oh no.. Err I mean okay!" Erika sounded as she was wavering with a chance of just running off before finally finding some confidence in her answer.
"Well how about it, Eep? Want to lead for us?" Erika's first choice was a safe one. She couldn't help but pay attention to what Claire's team composed of. Bugs. Even though they sent a chill down her spine, Erika had a fire type and chances are, a thunder type would be effective as well. However, Erika should be reactionary with her advantage as Claire's Ralts and Chimchar would present a challenge, or so Erika predicted. It was a question whether or not Kay would be of any help but with these berries, Erika though she might be able to convince her. Thus, Erika wanted to subtly defer to Claire to make her first move with her first type.
Reina
Reina pushed through whatever she was feeling as she came down to the stairs. Apparently things were far worse than what she could imagine as she saw enemies crowd around a lone Grado knight. "They're down here, too? E-everyone get ready!" Reina shouted as she stepped around the pillar. With this being her first combat encounter, she was surprised at just how automatic her motions were. It felt like she wasn't in control as she charged forward, recognizing the axe user and deciding to engage him, not entirely realizing it was for the weapon advantage. As she approached, she slid forward on her boots across the stone floor, keeping low as she suddenly thrusted her rapier's end forward into the center mass of the fighter!
❄Erika Olson❄
It was Erika's first official loss and as briefly disheartening as it was, she wasn't going to let it get her down. After all, her mother had told her several stories of about it took several attempts to beat a few gyms when she was Erika's age. However, Erika was a bit of a poor sport, thinking the Flower Lady was a bit smug, shooting a wayward glare at Daisy before turning to head back to the reception. If Daisy was an indication of just how tough Stillwood's Gym is, then Erika had her work cut out for her. She wondered how far Claire had gotten. She probably had evolved her Pokemon already and probably had two gym badges.
Despite how Erika's apprehension about being inferior, she was still glad to finally catch up to Claire. After all, the two had originally planned on adventuring together and if her time with Joshua and Ewan had proven anything, it was that company really helped with the journey. When she finally saw Claire, Erika waved and looked sincerely happy to see her, as if an old friend. "Hi Claire! I hope you've been having fun so far and it is nice to finally catch up to you. I think.. but you probably have three gym badges by now!"
Erika would wait a moment for Claire's response but assuming the reality, Erika had no gym badges so having any was impressive. Hearing Claire's success would easily prompt Erika's next request. "Ooh, I bet you have a strong team then, huh. Here, let me show you what I caught so far."
Now unless there was any reason to, like if Claire wanted to keep the teams a secret for a potential battle between the two, Erika would pull her full team from her Pokeballs and introducing each one to Claire and likely her team. All except for Kay were rather polite and happy to greet each other which reminded Erika that she had done those Treetop battles for a reason. She dug into her bag pulled out a Spleon Berry. "Here Kay. Be nice to everyone." Erika would offer her Inkay a berry which it happily took and began nibbling on it. Erika looked relieved but her cheeks were a bit red when she realized Claire would probably notice. "... I dug her out being frozen in ice and Kay might be really old, same with Eep, but for some reason, Kay has been really bitter. It is kind of embarrassing that I'm such a poor trainer."

Meanwhile back at Kalmia's lab, Poli had been adjusting well to the change of scenery. She spent most of her time paling around with Kalmia's Slowpoke and generally being curious around the lab. In fact, Poli was in the middle of that curiosity as she was discovering that servers had produced a nice bit of comforting heat when someone entered the lab. With the Professor handing over a Pokedex much like Erika's then she knew what was happening. She wondered how Erika was doing and hoped to see her again soon but for now, there was another trainer in front of her!
Poli hopped down from the server and ran over to the trainer, giving the her a slight nudge in the shin with Poli's round body."Poliwag!" She cheered, offering her own way of encouraging the new trainer. Maybe one day she'll meet Erika?

I am still having a tougher time with it but at least now I can understand it. What are your plans to developing this quirk? It seems really limited as is. Do you plan on your quirk to eventually be able to form psionic objects? If so, I guess I can see why they could only form an “edge” to objects as the physical object acts as a tether or point of focus. But why limit yourself? Psionic geometry (being able to generate physical shapes through mental projection) could make a good quirk and still accomplish what you are looking for.

Ink likes your Quirk but I just can't picture how it works ;-;
Could you explain it a bit more? Like how does it turn a sphere into something sharp? There are no edges!!
