Stillwood Village had made a nice place to relax in as it turned out. Something that Erika needed after her rather stressful match against her friend Claire who had stomped her, at least that's how Erika's mind had stressed about through a series of mental gymnastics. She spent the rest of the day moping around Stillwood Village, trying to figure out what she could have done better. Was it there a better matchup for this Pokemon against that? What if she utilized this move better.. or maybe...?

It was a process that while normally good, became a problem if you worried too much about it. Claire had seemed to take everything in with a cool head. It wasn't until a few hours after that battle that Erika had realized she was stressing about too much. A real trainer, like her mother, felt comfortable as the commander of their team. Blunders happened at all levels but if a trainer felt comfortable no matter what, they could win any match! At least that's eventually where Erika's mindset ended up. She needed to relax.

So as a bit of a break, she decided it was best to not worry about being a trainer but to relax with her and her Pokemon! She spent time in Stillwood Village hanging around the gardens with her whole team and did various activities that she could, like watching the battles at the gym. It was nice being a spectator for awhile but seeing others progress had only reminded Erika of her ambitions and so it was time to set out again.

Running to the Pokemart, she picked up a few essentials: 5 Potions, 6 Pokeballs, 1 Antidote, and 1 Paralysis heal as a means to be better prepared for her next leg of her journey. Speaking of, it was obvious she needed to consider her team to challenge the Stillwood gym here and a Flying type would be a very helpful member to her team. Mountain Valley was the perfect place, supposedly, where she could find a Flying type and with that she set out from Stillwood Village to the Valley...
