Nope, no time for bikes!

Claire ran full sprint towards the forest, ignoring pretty much every other trainer or happenings on the route. Route 2 was brilliantly beautiful, and if she was in any way a person to stop and drink in the scenery she might have registered it for more than a brief second. Ralia hung on for dear life, barely hanging onto Claire's shoulder lest she take a tumble towards the ground. Finally, after a minute or so of traveling, Claire finally made her way to the woods.

Wild Volbeat fluttered about, the natural beauty of the forest matching that of Route 2. Wild caterpie skittered across the floor, and Volbeat and Illumise lit the area with an almost otherworldly beauty. Ralia, finally having a moment where she wasn't hanging on for dear life seemed appreciative for the brief respite. Claire only allowed her a few moments though, before taking a look around the forest, deciding on what she should do.

Find a pokemon. As much as she did like certain types of bug pokemon, Volbeat, Illumise and caterpie just wasn't exactly her style. She wanted something a bit...cooler. Sleeker. Where would she find a pokemon like that here? She had no idea, but she wasn't gonna stop until she was certain she either found it or came to the conclusion it didn't exist. taking a brief mental note of the healing hut as well as the odd woman in the distance she decided to focus both on training and finding a pokemon she liked.

[color=#d3381c]"Allllright!"[/color] She puffed out her chest, holding clenched fists in front of her in an excited manner. [color=#d3381c]"Lets get to lookin! No slacking! I wanna leave here with an extra fabulous pokemon!"[/color] Ralia simply giggled lightly, before hopping off of her shoulder. [color=#d3381c]"That's the spirit! Come on, lets get to it! Lets get some light training in too! No rest!"[/color]

With excitement, the two started heading off in a random direction, though made sure not to head into the deeper parts just yet.

[hr]
Do some light training but focusing on finding traces of possible other pokemon in the area.
