With Ralia propped up on her shoulder, Cliare continued to watch the others battle for a little bit. She was honestly a little less than impressed with the results she was seeing. She had finished her fight the fastest, which meant she was obviously the best fighter here. Flawless logic, yep. She looked over to Erika. It looked like her fight was still going full swing, but for the moment it didn't entirely seem like it was going to be over soon. She had to resist telling her new friend to hurry up with it and get a move on, but she refrained and her words turned into an impatient huff.

[color=#d3381c]"Hrm...waiting might take awhile."[/color] She said to herself, Ralia chiming in in obvious agreement. She folded her arms, trying to decide what to do. On one hand, she said she'd go with Erika. On the other hand, she was obviously not to keen on going into the forest even though nothing bad could possibly happen since she would be with her. Besides, bug pokemon were cool. Well, some of them. Weedle was adorable. Beedrill was 100% fabulous awesome material.

[color=#d3381c]"Hrrrmmm...alright!"[/color] She stomped the ground impatiently, thrusting one fist into the air and giving a confident grin. [color=#d3381c]"Hey Erika, I'ma go on ahead!"[/color] She called over to the other trainer. [color=#d3381c]"I'ma drop by my home before I head out and looking on route two for a bit, so if ya catch me before I go to the forest, we can go together!~"[/color] Maybe in hindsight, it'd be better to go through route 1, but she had already decided on this course of action. She'd stop at home for a bit, let Ralia rest up - she did take a hit in that fight, plus her dad would want to meet Ralia definitely. With a quick step and a grin, Claire headed back for a brief stop at home before heading to route two.
