[center][color=wheat][h3]Aedre Charbonnet[/h3][/color][hr]— Mesalon City Gym —[/center] Aedre lit up at Amber’s suggestion. Comparing Decus’ behavior with that of Alma’s would yield valuable insight into Honedge, if not ghost-types in general. The type differences might prove a bit tricky to factor out, but with some reading up Aedre was sure she’d be able to figure it out. How the two ghost-types would act in each others’ company, though, was uncertain—a thrilling uncertainty—and Aedre couldn’t wait to see, but… Aedre exhaled. She was getting ahead of herself again. There were lots of things to work on with Decus before she started pushing him into uncomfortable situations. For now, she’d have to settle for patience. [color=wheat]“I’ll do my best to keep up with her,”[/color] Aedre said, meeting Alma’s eyes with a hesitant smile. The Sableye had sharp claws, but the chair was just a mistake… right? Aedre’s eyes widened at Amber’s proposal. A sparring match—now? Here? She looked around uncertainly, eyes bouncing between her team and Amber’s. The uncertainty of the outcome made Aedre nervous, and the anxiety welling up around the entire situation made refusal a tantalizing option. But, as her eyes settled on Little, Aedre realized it didn’t really take that much thought. It was a no-risks match, and she should see it as an opportunity, not a risk. [color=wheat]“Okay. Let’s do it,”[/color] Aedre said with a smile. [hr]Outside the Pokemon Center, the trainers found an empty patch of dusty land and quickly designated their mock battlefield. The terms were simple: three-on-three, may both partiesreach the Pokemon Center swiftly after the battle. [color=wheat]“Good luck! But don’t go easy on me!”[/color] Aedre shouted with a grin. Underestimating her just because she didn’t have much trainer experience was a bad idea because if she were to brag, she’d admit she was a quick study.
