Well, for the sake of the game actually affecting you, you might want to figure out how to spare the characters yourself. Look around for clues before the battle, like the froggit. He says in some case you need to spare even if their name isn't yellow. Why? As he says, sparing means you won't fight.

Of course, if soaring doesn't work, you can still flee battles as long as there isn't some status effect on you, or if the enemy you are versing isn't really satisfied with both their performance.

All I said there were real hints btw. Good luck,
