[color=00a651]"Rrrralll..."[/color] Ralia, a little less than impressed by the results of her messing with people, pouted slightly. The people of Stillwood really were...lackadaisical, weren't they? Well, she'd just have to try harder! A Gloom just so happened to be passing by! Didn't they do something funny when they were messed with? Ralia walked up to one while it wasn't looking and attempted to pick one up...

Claire was waiting rather impatiently for Erika. As much as she wanted to see her friend, she also wanted to get moving. Staying in one place not doing anything for more than five minutes was something she didn't do all that much.

[color=00a651]"Rrrrraaaal!"[/color] Before she could get really impatient though, Ralia came running over, and with her a putrid smell and a Gloom that was wearing the usual lackadaisical expression of the people here. The smell caused Claire to hold a hand over her nose, having to breathe through her mouth to simply tolerate it.

[color=#d3381c]"Urgh...Ralia?"[/color]

[color=00a651]"Rrrraaaal?~"[/color] The Ralts gave her a smile, holding her hands together.

[color=#d3381c]"Don't give me that look,"[/color] Claire giggled, picking up the pokemon and giving her a light thump on the forehead, causing the fairy to stick her tongue out at the human. [color=#d3381c]"Next time [i]try[/i] to pick a target that won't make this entire place smell like me after I've been training all day."[/color] She snickered.

[i][color=6ecff6]"Hi Claire! I hope you've been having fun so far and it is nice to finally catch up to you. I think.. but you probably have three gym badges by now!"[/color][/i]

[color=#d3381c]"...huh? Oh, Erika!"[/color] Upon hearing the voice of Erika, Claire gave her an excitable wave. Ralia followed suit, wiggling free of Claire's arm and hopping onto the floor. [color=#d3381c]"Aha, I don't [i]quite[/i] have three badges yet."[/color] Claire chuckled in reply. [color=#d3381c]"Buuuuut, I do have a badge and have been officially recognized in Mt. Strength as a totally awesome trainer."[/color] She briefly flashed both the badge and medal to Erika. [color=#d3381c]"I don't mean to brag - no, I totally do - but yea, I'm [i]kinda[/i] awesome. I even beat someone in a pokemon contest, haha!"[/color] Stretching the truth a bit there, wasn't she? Ralia giggled idly.

Erika then went on to show her entire team to her. Well, might as well return the favor too, then! Claire let all of her pokemon out, and much like Erika's own, Claire's own pokemon were also happy to be introduced. Except for Lure who was remaining irritable as always and simply giving everyone death stares, and Rtiz who still was a bit shy. Surprisingly, Erika had more pokemon than she did! Well, maybe unsurprisingly. Claire wasn't really aiming to be a collector. She just wanted a small team, after all. For a few seconds, Claire's pokemon happily played with and interacted with Erika's own, until she made that comment about being a poor trainer.

[color=#d3381c]"Huuh? Poor trainer?!"[/color] Claire shouted with a frown, pointing a finger accusingly at Erika. [color=#d3381c]"Ahaha, nonsense! I mean, you're not as good as me obviously,"[/color] Her frown turned into a grin. [color=#d3381c]"But the way I see it, all your pokemon like ya! And that means you're pretty good, don't it? HEY DEL!"[/color] Claire made a motion, the Beedrill buzzing over and looking at Erika curiously. [color=#d3381c]"And since it seems like you're gonna need some convincing...battle time! And I'm not taking no for an answer!"[/color]
