Alaric had enjoyed his stroll through the plains again, losing himself in the beauty of nature. Whilst he wanted to battle, he felt as if he was content to simply walk and experience the beauty of nature around him. That was until his tranquillity was once again disturbed by a wild Pokemon. He wasn't ruining the experience, but he definitely noticed the fact he was being followed and when it disappeared, it was noticeable as well. He wondered why it had followed him in the first place, when he had his questions answered. He was challenging him. 

"You wish to battle me? So be it. Prove yourself!" he spoke with a grin, as he threw out his Ralts. Today had been exciting.

The Phanpy had put up fierce resistance, and dealt significant blows to two of his pokemon, but after Alaric realised the lesson he'd learnt earlier today, the battle was a cinch. There was not much he could do against Emil's tough armor, even with that unique ice move of his. Alaric admired its spirit and tossed out a Pokemon ball after the battle, to catch it and add it to the party. It would make a worthy addition. He hadn't imagined a Pokemon being the one to win him over, rather than the other way around.
