Vivia focused with determination as she looked at Erika and the opposing Snorunt, taking out her own Pokédex and glancing between it, Venonat and Sno.


[color=b5e6e2]‘Oooh, you can do that?’[/color] She asked her Pokémon as she saw Sno jump in order to shoot out her stream of snow.


[color=b5e6e2]‘Alright, Venonat! Use Dis… a…’[/color] Vivia suddenly paused, her lips faltering as she just looked and did nothing as Venonat stood and was pelted with snowy attacks.


[color=b5e6e2]‘I can’t use Disable! That’s likely her only attack! That’d be so unfair!’[/color] Vivia suddenly announced, frowning, looking completely seriously at Erika.


[color=b5e6e2]‘Venonat! Foresight!’[/color] She commanded.


[color=938fbf]‘Ven!’[/color] The purple bug, somewhat damaged after the stream of snow had impacted but still in the fight, let its large red eyes glow somewhat as it ensured that it had the position of the enemy thoroughly recorded. Vivia went ahead and then pointed forward at Sno with full determination.


[color=b5e6e2]‘Now! Supersonic!’[/color] She ordered, full Pokémon-trainer mode and Venonat was already charging.


Given that this was two moves when she likely had time to do one, this gave Erika and Sno time to act before Supersonic would actually come. Though, with Foresight used, one could assume what effect might be on the coming move.

Cathia nodded to Donna, the gratitude of being the other girl’s opponent the last acknowledgement Cathia gave before she entirely intended on leaving the location, wandering off on her own. She was stopped by Jacques, who walked into her way to stop her for a small conversation, too far away for Donna to listen in to.


Kalmia did her part healing Donna’s Pokémon, before handing over numerous Pokéballs for her.


[color=6ecff6][center][i]Donna obtained 5 Pokéballs![/i][/center][/color]


[color=82c6cf]‘There you go. Yupp, now you’re all set! If you ever have any questions, feel free to call me or any of the other trainers via the Pokédex and we’ll talk about it! If you're feeling lonely, feel free to meet up with any of them, too! Regardless of how you want to go about your journey, good luck!’[/color] Kalmia said, eagerly, rising to her feet and giving Donna a playful salute.

[color=db845c]‘Ooooh...’[/color] Maple sounded out at Dawkin’s reply, and then quickly hurried over to tend to Maggy’s injuries. Confirming that it was just regular non-threatening Pokémon fainting after a battle, Maple sighed in a mixture of relief and sadness at losing before returning her Pokémon to her Pokéball.


[color=607ebf]‘Khk!’[/color] Simon recoiled as Martin said his words. His hands waved in directions and his expression changed to one of gritting frustration. Of course, he couldn’t defend himself. He hadn’t been given the best tools, but [i]the best[/i] would still have won...! He eventually settled for pointing towards the sky in a dramatic gesture. [color=607ebf]‘You have not heard the last of Simon! For I WILL become the very best, like no-one ever was! A minor setback like this will not hold me back from my future! ONWARDS!’[/color] He spun and ran, leaving his team-members behind.


[color=507173]‘...’[/color] No words had been spoken to Ellyn, as such she kept quiet after the loss, though her eyes were clearly not entirely happy about this. She was avoiding looking at the victors, ESPECIALLY the one that had suggested she surrender upon the loss. Maple eventually approached her, tilting her head while looking at Ellyn curiously.


[color=db845c]‘Huh. So you ARE invested, despite what you told me.’[/color] Maple commented in an “I see” kind of tone.


[color=507173]‘...’[/color] Ellyn made no attempt to defend herself, the girl feeling an emotion that she herself felt was new. It hadn’t particularly mattered to her if she won or not, but then a specific someone’s words had agitated her, and then she had become invested, resulting in her current state of emotions…


[color=db845c]‘Don’t worry! We’ll bounce right back!’[/color] Maple told Ellyn happily, grinning and locking an arm with the disgruntled girl, looking about ready to pull off unless called out to.


[color=82c6cf]‘Well done!’[/color] Kalmia said, approaching the three of them after their victory. She aimed a look over at Jacques, as the score currently held 4-1 in Kalmia’s trainer’s favor, but Jacques looked as unperturbed as ever and was engaging Cathia in a distant conversation that was currently too far away to hear. Kalmia shrugged and went on to hand over each of the three their own sets of Pokéballs.


[color=6ecff6][center][i]Abigail obtained 5 Pokéballs!
Martin obtained 5 Pokéballs!
Dawkin obtained 5 Pokéballs![/i][/center][/color]


[color=82c6cf]‘That’d be all! You’re free to head out, now!’[/color] Kalmia informed happily, answering the questions of all three of them in one go. [color=82c6cf]‘Infested Woods, huh? That brings back memories. Teh-heh, good luck~!’[/color] Kalmia smirked in Martin’s direction, before turning back to all three. [color=82c6cf]‘If you have any questions, I’m just a button-press away, and so is any of the other trainers who’ve been given the same Pokédex! Otherwise, that’s all! Good luck with your quests, you have my permission to totally turn the world on its head!’[/color] Kalmia grinned with her statement, looking at the three.
