How do you remove the 'CIRCLE BUBBLES' from your allies

[Mosh]

Hello, I just managed to kill the lake boss in the city of Juron after the flying bug killed Aeris/Tifa and was about to kill me with 1 more hit, but BIO2 Item and Bleam Blade managed to finish it off. The reason I had a hard time was because allies had this circle thing around them so I could not do ALL>CURE constantly as Aeris... and I tried to use the HEAL which I think is sopose to cure stuff like that... Which I put on TIFA... But It was out of range adn I'm not even sure if it removes it... I don't know what it's called so I'm asking here and the reason I need to know is for future battles... How do you properly get rid of them? I tried to attack them as I figured it's similar to those triangle curses. I'm still a newbie and this is my first playthrough so I'm still new.

Holy Autism Batman!!

Please learn sentences and paragraphs. Very hard to decipher what you are asking.

Okay, In Juron.... There is a lake with the boss and the dolphin deal... I stated I killed it by luck due to some items, and my allies were cursed by this thing I'm asking about... He threw this circle thing around them and I had no clue how to remove it... As HEAL apparently doesn't do so as I thought it's purpose was to remove negative affects from characters.. as Cure is just a heal. I thought attacking the allies would remove it but it doesn't. I'm asking what do you do to correctly remove them for future references?

The same as Reno's Pyramid attack except you need to hit with magic not a physical attack. Technically it isn't a negative status just something which temporarily removes a character from the fight. There are a few other fights in the game where similar things can occur.

Some enemies in the game can inflict stuff that encases your party members in a bubble or prevents them from acting. Those bubbles you mentioned gradually drains your characters health & you can only pop them using spells or you can use regen to try to reduce the amount being drained.

Heal materia removes negative status effects but some effects like being immobilised can't be removed via heal.
Cure just restores HP & you can damage undead enemies with it since its considered light magic.

For future references there is a boss who can grab your character & prevent them from acting, best thing to do is cast regen on your party members at the start & try to break the arms holding them or they'll gradually take damage until they die at which point the boss will drop their ko'd body.

That sounds really OP.... Where can I find the Regen materia?

You already have it. Regen is the third tier spell on the Restore Materia.

I haven't got any materials to level 2 yet... the leveling process is long :/

You should start finding some double growth weapons not long after where you are in the game. It does depend on if you've done any grinding it isn't entirely required but it tends to be force of habit for me when I play. I have before left Midgar with level three limit breaks and tend to catch the rest up in the forest near Junon which is a decent spot for grinding for limit breaks and the AP isn't terrible.

I've just arrived at the beach after killing that boss on the ship.

The restore materia starts with cure then goes cure2>regen>cure3 once you've levelled it up by gaining AP.
There is grinding in this game but getting double/triple growth weapons or double growth armor helps with gaining AP & you can get xp+ materia later on which speeds up gaining levels.
