On her way to the Bug Garden, something caught Claire's attention. A group of people had gathered in front of the research lab - a group of miners? A group of scientists had met them out front. Pausing a moment to look at the spectacle, the redhead almost wanted some popcorn or something to snack on - looked like things were about to get heated, and she'd have joined the fun little spectacle herself, had not something incredibly odd happened.

Resounding through the air, was the echo of what could only be a pokemon cry. The two arguing parties paused, before suddenly calming down. A brief exchange of words later, and the arguing had stopped. They had somehow reached an agreement within the span of a few seconds.

[color=#d3381c]"...huh, what do you think that was?"[/color] Claire frowned. What could make people suddenly calm themselves like that?

[color=00a651]"Ral!~"[/color] Ralia simply shrugged from her seat on Claire's shoulder.

[color=#d3381c]"I dunno why I even asked."[/color] Claire sighed while Ralia chuckled. [color=#d3381c]"Righto, lets get to that Bug Garden. I want a Vivillon!"[/color] stretching her arms slightly as she began walking toward the Bug Garden - only to have her attention drawn to someone who had just walked into the town not long after she had.

[color=#d3381c]"Ah...!"[/color] That was one of the trainers she had started with at Kalmia's lab...what's his name? Lawkin? Harpkin?...Dawkin. Dawkin sounded right. This was a great opportunity! She had been wanting to check her own progress against one of the others, so what better time to do it than now! A grin crept across Claire's face as she stared down Dawkin, grabbing one of her pokeballs. [color=#d3381c]"Wanna go say hi, girl?"[/color]

[color=00a651]"Rrralts!~"[/color] Sharing her trainers enthusiasm, Ralia swiftly teleported from Claire's shoulder...and right on top of Dawkin's head. 

The next thing Dawkin would see, was Claire sprinting towards him at full speed - the final few feet were closed by her leaping into the air, landing with a rather acrobatic twirl in front of him, taking a rather aggressive battle stance.

[color=#d3381c]"OOORA!~HEY!~"[/color] She called out, the next thing Dawkin would see, was Claire sprinting towards him at full speed - the final few feet were closed by her leaping into the air, landing with a rather acrobatic twirl in front of him and taking a rather aggressive battle stance. 

[color=#d3381c]"Dawkin right? You got a pokemon from Kalmia too, yeah?"[/color] Ralts jumped off Dawkin's head, pirouetting her way across the ground back over to Claire. [color=#d3381c]"Good timing, I was just lookin' to see how good my team stacks up against another trainer! Lets go, I need another win under my belt!"[/color] Ralia lightly pulling on Claire's pants. [color=#d3381c]"...oh, uh, right, heheh. You just got here, I'll be nice and let ya heal up first."[/color]
