[hr]

After healing her pokemon in the hut, Claire swiftly exited, not wanting to linger any longer than she had too. Besides, she still wanted to knock out a good decent conversation with all of her pokemon. Lure included. After making her way back outside, the redhead moved to a relatively quiet part of the forest where she wouldn't be all that bothered by any other trainers, at least for now. She was confident she wouldn't get distracted at all. So with a confident grin, she released all of her pokemon from their pokeballs.

[color=#d3381c]"Heya guys!"[/color] She cheerily greeted them.

[color=f7976a]"L-led!"[/color] Ritz seemed a little startled by suddenly being released. As adorable as seeing him flutter into Lure was when he was released, that was probably something she was gonna have to work on. Build up that little bugs confidence!

[color=f7941d]"Bee."[/color] Combee just stared at Claire with a blank expression, hardly reacting to being bumped into by Ritz. She almost seemed to completely ignore his presence altogether. Geh. Claire almost wanted to slap that bug again.

[color=a0410d]"Weedle!"[/color] Del, seemed energetic and mostly level headed at least.

[color=#d3381c]"Sooo, I kinda ended up catching all of you in a preeety short amount of time, heh."[/color] Claire said with a light chuckle. [color=#d3381c]"But hey, when you're on a roll can't stop that kill streak, er, capture streak, nope!"[/color] Ralia bounced over and stood in front of the pokemon, which were lined up next to each othe. [color=#d3381c]"Annways, hello. hi. It's me. Your fabulous trainer named Claire if you didn't catch the memo, hehe!~"[/color] She chuckled. [color=#d3381c]"So. Ritz, Lure, Del...this is Ralia."[/color]

Lure glared coolly at the fairy type, while Ritz seemed to avert his gaze in a somewhat unsure and anxious manner. Del let out a little cry of greeting.

[color=#d3381c]"Grreat, now that's out of the way, we'll all be besties, 'kay?"[/color] Claire continued as Ralia cozied up next to Ritz.[color=#d3381c] "So, we're gonna be heading off to Redcoast...pretty soon. Got a free ride there and iiiif my instincts are right, which they usually are, we can get into some juicy contests and stuff there! So, so, we're gonna have to work on all of our teamwork once we get there."[/color]

Lure seemed completely unimpressed, as though she wanted nothing to do with it. Ritz zeemed to look at Claire as though this was a terrible idea, and Del just stared. Ralia looked up at Ritz, and gave him a small poke on his nose, earning a small surprised cry from the bug type.

[color=#d3381c]"Y'know, Lure."[/color] Claire said walking over to the combee with a frown. [color=#d3381c]"Ya could at least try to be friendly."[/color]

[color=f26522]"Bee."[/color] The bee replied in a sassy manner, its six eyes rolling in a clearly sarcastic manner...before blasting another gust of wind right in Claire's face. She had to visibly restrain herself from slapping the bug again. Calm, Claire. You are calm and will not smack a bitch.

[color=#d3381c]"That's fine, that's cool, I can take sass ya stupid bug."[/color] She grabbed Lure's pokeball, quickly returning the bee to it with a irritated huff. [color=#d3381c]"I swear, its like she is [i]trying[/i] to annoy me."[/color] Well, at least she had a little small moment of bonding with the pokemon before there was a loud beating of wings and the loud cry of a bird that caused the volbeats to scatter. With an awed expression, Claire turned to the Skarmory as it landed. [color=#d3381c]"OOh, that must be our ride. Snazzy."[/color] Rtiz though, seemed to have taken a page form the Volbeats book and had fled to Claire's back, poking his head just over her shoulder. Del simply stared, before crawling off in the exact opposite direction with an expression that Claire clearly surmised was 'NOPE.'

[color=#d3381c]"Waaah, come oon you two. The large metal bird that likely likes to eat little bugs like you isn't gonna hurt ya."[/color] Claire said, reaching around and plucking Ritz off of her back. Her words didn't sound too reassuring. Ritz just gave her the biggest puppy dog eyes he could possibly muster as she held him in front of her. [color=#d3381c]"Aw come ooon, don't give me that, Ritz."[/color] She said, running a hand over his back. [color=#d3381c]"You'll be in your pokeball anyways. You probably can't keep up with that thing, and it'd be a really bad idea to try and carry ya. Same for you, Del."[/color] Claire said as Ralia pulled the but type back to Claire's feet.

[color=f7976a]"L-led..."[/color]

[color=#d3381c]"Hey, it'll be fine!"[/color] She said, giving him a little scratch under his chin. [color=#d3381c]"When we get to Redcoast we'll all do a bit of training and then take a look at the contests. Maybe see if there's any more cool pokemon around, yeah?"[/color] With a final gentle pat, she returned Ritz and Del to their pokeballs. Ralia had crossed her tiny arms, glaring up at Claire.

[color=#d3381c]"Ouch, sorry babe but you got to go in too."[/color]

[color=00a651]"Ral."[/color]

[color=#d3381c]"Oh come on, don't pout."[/color]

[color=00a651]"Ralts."[/color]

[color=#d3381c]"What, do you want to fall from a hundred feet up in the air or something? I mean, I'd be all for free skydiving lessons as long as they didn't involve me going splat at the end of them."[/color]

[color=00a651]"Ralllllts."[/color] In a surprisingly childish fashion, Ralia turned her head to the side.

[color=#d3381c]"Oh come on...look, I'll buy ya something nice when we get there."[/color]

[color=00a651]"Ral..."[/color] Well, at least she seemed to be somewhat in agreement. With a satisfied smile, Claire returned Ralia to her pokeball and walked back over to where Yvonne, Laurinda, and their ride was waiting. She had probably taken a bit longer than intended, but eh. She managed to get back just in time as introductions were being made.

[color=#d3381c]"Heya, Nice to meet ya. The names Claire."[/color] She introduced herself, though said nothing else as they started talking price and details. She, was sorely not prepared for the price at all either. That much? Per person? She didn't even have enough to pay her fare! Ugh, that made her feel a [i]tiny[/i] bit bad, but the feeling quickly passed. She'd just pay Yvonne back at some point. Easy enough.

[color=#d3381c]"Uhm, yep. Pokemon healed and ready to go Eugene!"[/color] Claire replied. [color=#d3381c]"So come ooon, lets go already! Redcoast and my fame awaits!"[/color]
