Alaric was enjoying the scenery. This was the start to his adventure after all, and the sight of the plains was a fresh one to him. Whilst there was plenty of Pokemon and trainers around, he just felt like there was so much space to walk around. The soft feeling of the grass beneath his feet, the breeze on his face, everything just felt far better than it usually did. He was enjoying soaking in the moment when he realised he'd walked too close to a Patrat nest, and a rather overzealous one began to attack Alaric. Feeling slightly guilty but seeing it as an opportunity for battle, he sent out his Ralts to defeat it.

After the battle, Alaric was surprised by the wild Pokemon's strength. He'd also realised how important type match ups were, even in battles with wild Pokemon. He'd have to keep in mind that Emil was far more formidable against these normal type Pokemon than Lance was. Nevertheless, he took a short 10 minute break to apply a potion to Lance and carried on prowling through the plains, looking for more battles to be had.
