Seeing her doppelganger drop to her knees, Eryn hesitated, then walked towards her to wrap one arm around her. Her double froze upon contact, then flinched back, eyes wide as she put distance between herself and Eryn.

[color=palevioletred]“It’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you,”[/color] Eryn said, her hands open in front of her. [color=palevioletred]“I just wanted to say it was a good battle. Had the tables been turned, I probably would have lost too. I had the type advantage.”[/color]

When her double didn’t respond—which Eryn knew but kept forgetting would happen—Eryn smiled, saluting her double. 

[color=palevioletred]“Hey, it’s just a loss for now, right? Now go get stronger so that you’re more of a challenge the next time we meet,”[/color] Eryn said, waving. [color=palevioletred]“Catch ‘ya later, ‘Eryn!’”[/color]

With that, Eryn left, following the Warden’s Chandelure into the shadows.

After the Chandelure leads Eryn out, she’ll thank it profusely and then make back for Pureplain to get her Pokemon healed up before spending the night. The next day, she’ll head back to the Infested Woods to train her Pokemon against some weaker bug-types—Caterpie, Wurmple (with Kylie), and Ledyba—during the day. Lots of Ember and Fairy Wind/Bite. Tula will also be put in for kicks, mainly against Caterpie in over-glorified Tackle/Struggle-fests. Eryn will keep at this training (travelling between Pureplain and Infested Forest to heal her Pokemon and continue training) until Kylie can beat down the wild Ledyba easily, which is when—

[hider=if all goes according to plan]
—she’ll graduate them to training deeper in the woods on Spinarak (with Kylie), Scatterbugs, Metapod, Karrablast, and Caterpie (that are stronger here?), throwing in Tula for a match here and there as well (both Caterpie [i]and[/i] Metapod Tackle-fests. Wow, we’re going places). The strategy will remain basically the same except that Kylie will switch to Fairy Wind for Metapod (to subvert Harden effects). She’ll keep at all of this, occasionally challenging first Butterfree, then Ariados and Whirlipede with Dei and Kylie tag-teaming them until Dei evolves or Tula learns Tackle. Either that or until the training stops proving useful.

She'll stick with fighting lone wilds since attacking groups is risky, and she'll run if the Pokemon are too strong/numerous. She’ll also keep her eyes peeled for other trainers/the warden/her double.[h3] [/h3][/hider]
