For the most part, training went well! Ralia didn't have much problem at all with the wild pokemon. Claire decided to give her a bit of training with all the types, rather than just focusing on the budews. Had to have well-rounded experience, after all! Couldn't just fight what you were strong against or you'd never get anything good from battling. She got roughed up a little bit, but for the most part she didn't take much damage at all.

The three bugs though, had a bit of a problem, especially with the Pidoves. They were nowhere near ready to fight flying types, considering the disadvantage they had, and Zigzagoons would likely tire them down pretty badly after a few wild ones. That left the Budews. Del and Ritz worked together pretty well taking them down. Del using String Shot to slow them down and make their already lacking attacks to give Ritz a good shot at getting a good tackle in. Lure proved to be a bit easier and more troublesome to train. The little bug didn't listen to Claire at all, and instead took to just gusting every single budew she saw. It worked out in the end, but the fact that she also shot a few at Claire just for seeming giggles made the redhead a bit miffed.

Oh, not to mention she wasn't sharing the honey. Rude.

[color=#d3381c]"Waha, you guys did great!"[/color] Claire said from where she was kneeling, giving all of her pokemon an affectionate petting on the head. [color=#d3381c]"We'll be top-tier trainers in no time! Heh, we'll take a rest for a bit and get back to it."[/color] The three good little pokemon - Del, Ritz, and Ralia seeming quite happy with the praise. Lure wasn't paying much attention, though. That was fine. Claire had decided that she'd leave the bug alone for now. As the team took a quick break, Claire stretched, doing a few warm up exercises. She had to stay in top shape too, after all. Couldn't just let her pokemon have all the fun.

While she was doing that, Ralia seemed to take notice of a Zigzagoon in a bit of a...hurry? It seemed like it was. It also seemed like it was carrying something pretty good on it. Walking over to Claire, the small pokemon tugged on the redheads pants, and pointed over to it.

[color=#d3381c]"Eeeh?"[/color] The moment she looked, the pokemon bolted. That was about as much incentive as Claire needed to run after it. [color=#d3381c]"After that Zigzagoon!"[/color] She saw that shiny thing it was carrying, and she was gonna nab it! She scooped up Ralia, who just managed to grab Del so the little bug wouldn't get left behind in Claire's haste. Ritz zoomed off after Claire as well while Lure just lazily floated after them. The redhead dashed after the Zigzagoon, following it into the complex of abandoned buildings.
