As the battle concluded, Claire laughed loudly in excitement. Ralia jumped, throwing a fist into the air, landing on one foot and doing a little twirl. Claire scooped up Ralia in her arms, giving her a hug, which the small Ralts returned before climbing onto the redheads shoulder, deciding it made for a pretty good seat. As they celebrated, a small ding from Claire's pokedex indicated that something had happened. She reached into her pocket, pulling it out and opening it. A level, and some money huh? Well, that'd certainly be useful...not that she particularly needed more money though, heh. More importantly - Claire looked over at Ewan, giving him a bright grin and a thumbs up.

[color=#d3381c]"Wow, that was fun."[/color] She had to admit, it was pretty entertaining despite not being a completely accurate judge of everyone's abilities. That would probably come when everyone was at least a little more experienced. [color=#d3381c]"Not that I wasn't gonna lose to begin with, but I think ya did pretty good."[/color] She boasted, giving him a friendly wink as she walked over to him, Ralia smiling at him with a bright grin just as Claire was.

She took a look at the other battles, hoping they'd finish soon. Specifically, Erika. If she took too much longer, she had half a mind to just head for the forest herself.
