[color=#d3381c]"Awww, someone can be both cute and tough."[/color] Claire replied with a light giggle. [color=#d3381c]"I like to think of myself as both, heh."[/color] Ralia giggled where she was sitting on Claire's head, patting her in a playful, almost cheeky seeming manner. Claire didn't seem to notice, and instead followed swiftly after Yvonne. [color=#d3381c]"Buuut a clever contest? Yvonne, you're going to get rekt harder than a level 1 magikarp fighting a level 100 Raichu."[/color] She smirked confidently, Ralia giving the other girl a bright grin as she laid on top of Claire, propping her head up with her arms. [color=#d3381c]"But hey, if you wanna see me at my best...then lets do it, yeah?"[/color]

This...actually posed a problem though. She had been considering which pokemon to use for what contest for awhile now. She had already decided Ralia was going to be Beauty. Ritz was likely going to be Cute, after all that little bug was absolutely adorable! No one could say no to his little face. That left Del and Lure. She wasn't likely to use Del in a contest because she already had the rest of her bases covered. And who was supposed to be covering the Clever contest?

....well.

She thumbed over the pokeball containing Lure in her pocket. She supposed she could switch Ralia with Clever and have her both own the Clever and Beauty titles, but that just didn't feel right. If anything, Ralia would be a good candidate for getting being the superstar contest in all of the categories...but one step at a time, Claire. Lets see if she could convince the little annoying bug.

[color=#d3381c]"Hey, give me a second alright? Gotta appeal to a bugs ego and manipulate them into doing what I want. Wow that sounded bad."[/color] She said, pulling Ralia off of her head. The small pokemon protested only a little as its little red throne was taken from her, quickly finding someone else to play with. Ralia ran over to Yvonne, staring up at her with a grin and pulling on her pants leg, starting to follow the other girl around. [color=#d3381c]"I'll be juuuust a second! Go find us a place to have a practice match."[/color] Claire ran a few steps away from the other girl, pulling Lure's pokeball from her pocket and releasing the little bug.

[color=f7941d]"Bee-!"[/color] Who immediately complained, as if someone had interrupted her beauty sleep.

[color=#d3381c]"Hey there, Lure."[/color] Lure turned its six little eyes towards Claire, immediately narrowing them at the human.

[color=f7941d]"Bee."[/color] [i]"Human."[/i]

[color=#d3381c]"Sooo....you're a beautiful, clever little bug, aint'cha?"[/color] Lure's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

[color=f7941d]"Combee. Combee! Bee-!?"[/color] [i]"I shall be the most beautiful and cleverest bug in the forest-"[/i]

[color=#d3381c]"Right, so..."[/color] Claire threw an arm over the bugs head, holding her under her arm as she spoke and interrupted the bug. [color=#d3381c]"You know what a contest is? Basically a thing that determines how officially cute, clever, tough, cool, or beautiful a pokemon is."[/color] Claire stated in a fairly nonchalant manner.

[color=f7941d]"....bee."[/color] It gave the redhead a long look, questioning where this was going.

[color=#d3381c]"So, problem is, you gotta have a pokemon and a human team."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"..."[/color]

[color=#d3381c]"Aaaannnnd you're in no shape to try and actually do those things."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Combee."[/color]

[color=#d3381c]"Yep, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. You want to be the queen bee, and I want to be the queen bee. Soooo...how's about for a bit you behave your little bug butt and we work towards this common goal of ours, hmm?~"[/color]

[color=f7941d]"...combee."[/color] [i]"I hate you but your logic is impeccable."[/i]

[color=#d3381c]"Great, glad you agree! So, for starters...lets have you watch a practice contest."[/color]
[color=f7941d]
"Bee..."[/color]

[color=#d3381c]"Greeeat, see! We'll be besties in no time."[/color] Claire said, patting Combee on the head, who immediately blasted a gust of air in her face. [color=#d3381c]"You keep blasting me with air, but I can tell you like me you grumpy little bug."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Combee." [/color]

[color=#d3381c]"Fine, fine!"[/color] Claire chuckled, walking back over to Yvonne. 

[color=#d3381c]"Hey, ready when you are. Found us a place to practice yet? I'll let Ralia play with you and whoever your pokemon is. And don't mind the bug. She'll be observing the practice match. You can ignore any snarky remarks she makes."[/color]
