Honestly, Claire wasn't expecting much from the mountain. The standard fare of zubats, dirt, and a fighting type or two. That was pretty much what they all were, after all. What she [i]wasn't[/i] expecting was the sprawling cityscape that was presented to her. To say the redhead was momentarily awestruck by the ancient place was an understatement. Not to mention, seeing the fighting pokemon was getting her own fighting spirit up. She [i]Almost[/i] decided to throw herself in the ring and wrestle with the Meinfoo and a Timburr herself.

Thankfully Anise got her attention before she did that.

[color=#d3381c]"Huh? Oh...yeah!"[/color] Claire followed after Anise. Was she about to get VIP access? that sounded like a good idea. However, she had yet to see the full scope of Mt. Strength.

[color=#d3381c]"Oh wow! This place is amazing. You take me to the nicest places, Anise."[/color] Claire chuckled with a slightly playful tone. Really, she felt like she had walked right into a castle right out of some video game. Ralia seemed to share a similar mindset, staring up at the massive structure in awe. She was glad she decided to follow Anise, then. This was absolutely amazing! Nothing said 'there's strong pokemon here' like pokemon owning a castle all to themselves! She wanted to charge right in there and challenge the head honcho pokemon right to a wrestling match!

But it seemed like someone had beat her to it.

It looked like a literal firestorm had passed through the place, knocking out the guard pokemon with it.

[color=#d3381c]"H-hey what..."[/color] Claire shared Anise's sentiments of surprise at seeing this. She hurriedly followed Anise inside, something smelled bad, and it wasn't the scorched stone. Upon arriving, Claire notice two familiar faces...those were two of Jaques' trainers, weren't they? And they were...well, they were turning this castle into a place hotter than she was.

...

Something didn't sit right with her about this. This wasn't a friendly battle. At least, it didn't look like it. Her team looked like she might be at a disadvantage, but she didn't care. Completely unaware of the prying eyes from above and whatever Anise was doing, she decided to do something.

[color=#d3381c]"Ralia, double team and then confusion on that Growlithe!"[/color]
