[hr]

After taking the focus band with a quick thanks, Claire booked it back to Redcoast. A small reminder in the back of her head told her to once again, fix her hair which she had still forgotten to do so once she had got back to the pokemon center. She also took a mental note of the rain stopping rather abruptly once she had gotten back to Redcoast. Now, she wasn't saying that it couldn't just be a coincidence, but in her years of experience in playing video games and generally being all around the smartest person told her a few things - coincidences didn't exist, especially with what Anise told her.

Regardless...

Claire walked into the pokemon center, soaked with rain, but from the grin she was wearing she didn't seem to mind so much.

[color=#d3381c]"Whew..."[/color] She sighed. [color=#d3381c]"I should by an umbrella...or get a pokemon with drought, heh."[/color] She probably was quite the interesting sight, and most could probably tell where she recently came from. Alright, well, time to use the pokemon center...wait, was that Yvonne? A grin spread across her face as she decided to give her 'rival' a typical patented Claire 'surprise greeting'.

Wait...what was she holding? Was...that a badge?!

[color=#d3381c]"Hey, what'cha got there?"[/color] Claire snatched the badge from Yvonne's outstretched hand, mouth slightly open in surprise.

*Gasp*

She was behind! THE HORROR!

[color=#d3381c]"T-this is a gym badge!"[/color] She replied, seemingly in shock herself. [color=#d3381c]"Gah, I'm behind now! Yvonne you sneaky little sneaker sneak!"[/color] She grinned, obviously not actually upset with the other girl. [color=#d3381c]"I see how it is, beat me while I'm out training! And here I thought you weren't gonna be a suitable rival."[/color] She clenched Yvonne's badge in her hand, pointing at her with a confident grin. [color=#d3381c]"I won't be outdone though, nope! Our contest debut can wait! Where's this gym at? I'll go give 'em a thorough pounding with my fabulously [i]newly[/i] evolved pokemon, heh!~"[/color]

She made a point of emphasizing 'Evolved' and 'Pokemon'. She was probably being a little over the top here, but she didn't really seem to care.
