[color=palevioletred]“Thanks for the tip,”[/color] Eryn said as Oaken left. He was an alright guy when he wasn’t acting like an uppity schmuck, however rarely that might be. 

Dealing with Oaken, though, was the easy part this time. Where Oaken wouldn’t challenge her to another battle for a while, the Mawile might force Eryn to partake in one very soon. And, seeing as Dei’s only offensive option was Scratch, a battle against the steel-type was the last thing Eryn wanted.  Creativity was, therefore, Eryn’s best option at the moment, and seeing how much the Mawile wanted some honey, Eryn figured her best option was to get the Mawile some. 

Turning her attention to the various Pokemon partaking in the honey fest, Eryn considered her options, Pokedex in hand. Dwebble, like the Mawile, were resistant to normal=type moves and therefore a poor choice of an opponent. Shinx, on the other hand, were electric-types, and paralysis was a possibility Eryn didn’t really feel like risking. That left the Purrloin, but from her experiences feeding stray Pokemon, Eryn knew trying to take food from a Purrloin was a bad idea. In fact, she was tackling the problem in the wrong way: instead of trying to figure out which Pokemon Dei had the best chance against in a battle, figuring out which Pokemon would be least likely to challenge Dei might mean being able to avoid battle altogether.. And, of the three species of Pokemon gathered around the honey, which Pokemon would be less likely to try and battle a orange, flaming Pokemon than Dwebble? Sure its rocky shell offered natural protection against flames, but its shell-less parts were as vulnerable to fire as the next bug-type. That, and the fact that Dwebble were known to be aggressive when shell-less, suggested that the bug-type would likely avoid confronting Dei if possible, likely retreating into its shell rather than trying to pick a fight.

[color=palevioletred]“Alright, Dei. Grab that honeyed stick near that Dwebble for me, would you?”[/color] Eryn said, pointing to the stick near a Dwebble. For someone who worked so methodically, Oaken had sure used a lot of honey to find the Mawile, and Eryn wondered if he was disappointed his efforts had gone to waste. Nevertheless, she was thankful for his generosity this time. There seemed to be more than enough honey to go around, and the Pokemon were hardly fighting for shares.

Eryn watched patiently as Dei approached the Dwebble, then bent over and grabbed a stick of honey before making back for her. The Dwebble, who had its own share of honey to mind, hopefully wouldn't notice the minor transgression, thus allowing her to offer the gained honey to the Mawile.
