[Scripting Question] Adding New Ability Messages.

[SilverioRB]

Hey guys!

I'm using the EBS, and I found where the Abilities' names is settled to appear on the battle screen, like "POKEMON'S NAME's Ability". But, when I tried to add more abilities to the list, some of the them didn't work (like Sturdy). Then I figured out that the Main "EliteBattle_0", where the Ability Message class is, uses the "PokeBattle_Battler" Main, and some of the abilities are in "PokeBattle_Move" main. How can I add those abilities, and if I have to add others classes to it, then, how? I'm really lost!!

The part where it is add is that (I already put the abilities that I want to show on the screen when it activate):
