To say that the forest was kind of important to the people of Alto Town would be the understatement of the century. While new to the place, Faith certainly understood that much. She was in a delicate situation, an outsider to not only the community, but the entire region, stepping into a prestigious position, and she was really beginning to feel the weight of that. The forest was important, and so in going into the forest to hunt was making a statement, making it clear that she wasn't going to just have her Gym filled with pokemon from elsewhere, wasn't just some girl from Johto swooping in with a full roster already and pretending to represent this town.
Maybe she was overthinking it. Faith did tend to overthink things, when she bothered to think in the first place and didn't just act on whatever emotion happened to be floating at the surface of her mind, be it her own or a mirror of someone else's. It didn't change the fact that she was going to do this, though. She could use some new blood, after all.
Some outdoorsy clothes, tough boots, a pack full of supplies, and her team tucked away in their pokeballs, and Faith was off, leaving Alto behind for the wilds that surrounded it. Brushes of telekinesis moved aside plants as she walked, experienced eyes watching for the creatures that liked to hide in the undergrowth. She knew she'd need to spend more time here to really learn the forest, but already she felt more at home here than she had at the Gym. She could almost pretend she was back in her late teens, traipsing through the Ilex.

Faith sensed a flare of territorial anger as she shifted one plant, and she hopped backward just in time to miss the attempt to bite her ankle from the tiny bagworm pokemon that leaped out at her. Faith quirked an eyebrow at the burmy, who was making all manner of furious bug noises, noting that their cloak had building insulation in it, implying that they had been in the town recently. They looked to be female as well, and Faith considered the fact that she didn't have wormadam yet; the species was one that she had a soft spot for, since it was one of the bugs that easily picked up psychic moves.
Sure, let's do this. Elegant could use a little exercise.
With a burst of light, the appropriately-named leavanny appeared. Realizing quickly that this was a battle, she got into a fighting stance, which admittedly looked more like she was preparing to begin a dance. It was more or less the same when it came to Elegant, really. "Leaf Blade," Faith ordered calmly, and she was off, leaping up with arms arms bathed in a green glow.
The burmy, meanwhile, seeming to now realize that she'd just done the equivalent of poking an ursaring with a sharp stick, let out a squeak of fright and erected a shimmering, transparent barrier that Elegant bounced harmlessly off of. Faith smirked. So she knew Protect, then. Good. Burmy didn't have much in the way of a diverse movepool, but that was always a useful one to have.
"Keep it up," she said, but knew that she didn't have to. Elegant was in the zone, now, prancing around her opponent and waiting for an opening, as both bugs knew the shield couldn't last forever. When its gleam started to flicker, she lunged, sweeping her arms to slice into the cloak and the flesh underneath; a chunk of pink insulation went flying as the cry of pain cut the air.
Another cry rang out as Elegant jerked back, surprised to find that the wild burmy had latched onto her arm, chomping with all the force she could muster. Faith, while she did briefly wince at the pain echoes, kept smirking. Bug Bite, too, huh? Not that that was surprising, given the little larva's attack on her ankle earlier. It wasn't the strongest bug move out there, but it was a solid one all the same.
Even with Elegant being a grass type, though, it wouldn't be enough to take her down; she flicked her arm to dislodge her attacker and darted in with a thrust with the other arm to remove another chunk of cloak and stab at the flesh underneath, eliciting another cry. When the burmy hit the ground, it was clear that one more blow like that, or any blow at all, and she'd be down and out.
And yet, the burmy was going for Elegant again instead of fleeing, trying to get in another bite...but Faith's pokeball got there first, striking true and opening with a flash of light. Now to see if she'd stay in there.
