[/hider] [hider=Inventory] Potion x1 Antidote x1 pokeball x4[/hider] [hr] Success! Ralia and her clones twirled over to Claire, who had already knelt down and proceeded to give the small pokemon a high-five...only to have her hand go right through the pokemon. The other clones proceeded to giggle brightly before bouncing away quickly out of Claire's line of sight. Oho, so [i]that's[/i] how she was gonna be, eh? Before Claire could even think about finding the small pokemon, something had smacked on the back of the head, and she was given the smiling sight of Ralia hanging over her head. The redhead spent a few seconds pouting at the pokemon before laughing brightly. [color=#d3381c]"Okay you cheeky little thing,"[/color] She said, reaching up and taking the psychic type in her arms. [color=#d3381c]"You got me, but next time I'ma get [i]you[/i]."[/color] With a quiet giggle, Ralia gave Claire's nose a firm poke, before Claire gave her a small swat on the head. [color=#d3381c]"Okay okay, I forgive you you adorable thing. Lets go check on our new partner, yeah?"[/color] With a cry of confirmation, Claire walked over to the pokeball and her newly acquired Ledyba. She picked up the ball, quickly releasing their new companion from it in a flash of red light. [color=f7976a]"L-led?"[/color] The small ledyba was still obviously confused. Claire knelt down, once again giving the small pokemon a friendly smile. [color=#d3381c]"Hey there little guy, me again!"[/color] She chuckled, Ralia giving the small bug type a smile of her own. [color=#d3381c]"You put up a pretty good fight, didn't ya?"[/color] [color=f7976a]"Led?"[/color] The bug type questioned, seemingly still confused, or perhaps he didn't think he had put up all that great of a fight. [color=#d3381c]"Whaaa? Of course you did!"[/color] Claire frowned, giving the pokemon a gentle thump between his eyes. [color=#d3381c]"And you're coming with me!"[/color] Without warning, Claire picked up the pokemon before it could react. He flapped his wings in mild protest, but there wasn't really much he could do in this situation. OOh right, he needed a nickname. Lord Wreckington? Hmm, nah, too much. Would probably fit a Machamp better. Maybe...wait. He definitely had spunk. A little pizzazz. With a little more effort he could definitely be the star of his own little show! So he'd need an equally elegant name. [color=#d3381c]"And I'm gonna call you Ritz."[/color] Ledyba blinked. That was not the name he had been expecting. [color=f7976a]"L-led?"[/color] The bug type didn't seem to sure, but he kept quiet. Besides, maybe this could be good? Well, whatever the case was he allowed himself to be carried by Claire for now...being cradled in her arms was certainly nice. [color=#d3381c]"Hmm...what to do next...?"[/color] Ralia walked along the forest floor beside Claire as she walked back to the main area. She was done here for the most part, but there was still one thing she wanted to do. Wasn't there some suspicious looking person standing in the middle of the forest earlier? Now that she had caught her a good pokemon she was curious as to who this person even was. They looked like a strong trainer, and completely out of Claire's league, but that just made her a bit more curious. Now, where had she gone? It took a bit for Claire to find her, but she eventually did...was she heading deeper into the forest? And was that was a strong looking pokemon next to her?! ho boy, opportunity was a knockin', and she'd be stupid not to take it. [color=#d3381c]"Welp, Sorry to put you in the pokeball but I'ma do something pretttty stupid."[/color] She returned Ritz to his pokeball, placing his pokeball in her pocket. She picked up Ralia, cradling her in her arms. As much as she didn't like her pokemon being cooped up in them, it was much easier to watch after one instead of two for now. Besides, Ritz was still hurting a bit from their little battle and she wasn't taking any chances. For the most part, Ralia leaned against Claire's chest quite content, seeming a bit sleepy. [color=#d3381c]"Hey, foxy lady!"[/color] She shouted, running up to the woman and her fox. Way to go Claire, totally subtle, yep. [color=#d3381c]"I mean, lady with the fox."[/color] Ralia gave the both of them a friendly wave. [color=#d3381c]"Sorry to bother ya, but uh, you going in there?"[/color] She asked, indicating the place deeper into the woods with a tilt of her head since her hands were otherwise occupied. [color=#d3381c]"Yeah, the creepy spooky woods that are totally meant for fabulous higher level players like yourself and not for nooblets like me...sooooo can I come with?"[/color] Not like she was really gonna give the other woman much of a choice. She was gonna tag along regardless. This was too much of a good opportunity to pass up.
