[color=palevioletred]“Great job, Dei!”[/color] Meeting Dei halfway on the battlefield, Eryn grinned, checking her Pokemon over for injuries. [color=palevioletred]“We’ll get on with everything after a trip to the Pokemon Center—to get my little winner all patched up,”[/color] she said, rubbing the Charmander affectionately as he tried his best to shy away.

Straightening, she flashed Oaken a friendly smile. He was about what Eryn had hoped for in her first opponent. [color=palevioletred]“You weren’t so bad yourself, with the disadvantages you were dealing with.”[/color] 

Then, after taking a moment to offer to recall Dei—which he refused, brandishing his pain like a badge of honor—Eryn looked up to see Oaken making off already. Here, she had a choice: be respectful and acknowledge his personality or assert herself as, well, herself. And, being herself, she chose the second—though in this case she was interrupted by Professor Kalmia walking over. 

[color=palevioletred]“Trainer’s school? I’ll see you there then!”[/color] she called with a grin, waving Oaken off before focusing on the professor. Vaguely attempting to shake off praise and maintain a semblance of humility when the professor praised her, Eryn received the Pokeballs and potion with cheerful gratitude, thanking the professor profusely as she gave Dei a healthy spray or two and promising to call when possible. Then, turning her attention to her fellow first-day trainers, Eryn was pleased to see that Skylar and Alice had finished their battle.

[color=palevioletred]“Go Axl! You can do it!”[/color] Eryn called, walking over to Skylar and Alice. [color=palevioletred]“I’m guessing from the cheers from earlier that you two won? Great job, and better luck next time, Vivia.”[/color]

Beside her, Dei straightened a bit, chest puffed. 

[color=palevioletred]“Yes, Dei, you did great too,”[/color] Eryn said, amused. [color=palevioletred]“Well, I’m headed off to the Trainer School now, so I’ll see ya’ll around!”[/color] 

Waving, Eryn made to leave, but not before scooping up Dei when she saw him struggling to keep up with her brisk pace. 

[color=palevioletred]“Quit with the moodiness. You’re lucky I’m offering,”[/color] Eryn said, giving the Charmander a squeeze as she picked up her pace again.
