Del was flung off of Meditite, rolling to a stop some distance away from the fighting type and definitely hurting. The bug type managed to get back to its tiny feet, but he wasn't doing so well. Ritz was faring better, simply because he could remain out of the fighting types reach as long as Meditite couldn't get a confusion off.

She was hoping that'd last move would have been enough to take out the Meditite. She frowned, gritting her teeth as she began to sweat a bit. No way in hell Del could take another hit from the Mienfoo like that - and if Meditite got off a confusion she might as well be as good as dead. Her second battle against another trainer! Lost! Talk about a rough start. Hah, well, her luck had to run out at some point but she couldn't rely on luck at all. Thankfully, as always she had an idea of what she could do next.

[color=#d3381c]"Del, avoid any attacks that come your way! Slow down that Meinfoo if you can, but focus on dodging until that meditite is down! Ritz, don't let that Mienfoo do anything - give it a nice up close and personal supersonic!"[/color]

Huh...was her pokedex...ringing? She swiftly reached into her pocket, pulling out the device.

Oh, it was Erika!

[color=#d3381c]"Erika, great timing, no really! I'm not in a pretty bad spot in a battle right now, nope!"[/color] She chuckled. Oh right, she was in a battle. Couldn't get distracted. Time for a little game plan changer. [color=#d3381c]"Ralia!"[/color] Immediately upon hearing her name called, the psychic type spun to a halt, facing the direction of Meditite and raised its arms. [color=#d3381c]"Hit that Meditite with the strongest you've got, girl!"[/color] This was the best plan she had for now. Del was too weak to get up close and personal with any of the opponents pokemon. Ritz was the only one able to even remotely try and keep up with that Meinfoo and stop it from squishing the poor bug. Ralia though - could attack the Meditite from a distance and she could likely still take a hit from the froakie unless something went [i]horribly[/i] wrong.

[color=#d3381c]"H-huh? Oh sorry, trying not to crash and burn here,"[/color] She returned to her conversation. [color=#d3381c]"Yeah, I'm all the way in Redcoast! You're not gonna believe how I got here either..."[/color] The rest of the conversation between the two of them was fairly short - Claire was distracted by a battle after all, but she did at least get across to Erika that she could totally meet up with her once she finished up in Redcoast. Travel east after this - head towards Stillwood through Rainrock. Shouldn't be long after a bit of messing around with Yvonne. Maybe she could even convince Yvonne to come with her? 

Right, battle.

It was about that time, Lure decided to make her way back to her trainer. The bumblebee fluttered into the slightly dilapidated Shrine, managing for the most part to ignore the current battle going on as it hovered by Claire.

[color=#d3381c]"E-eh? Lure? Where have [i]you been!?[/i]"[/color]

[color=#d3a308]"Bee. Combee."[/color] It made a show of the nugget that it had in its grasp. Claire looked at her with a blank stare.

[color=#d3381c]"...I'd start thinking you might care if you obviously didn't since you don't seem keen on helping a girl out here."[/color]

[color=#d3a308]"Bee."[/color]

[color=#d3381c]"One of these days, I'm going to feed you to a Skarmory."[/color]
