Victoria takes the offered herbal healing and rests for a bit before heading back north to an area she saw before, feeling drawn there for some reason...

At the lone tree, Victorlia finds what can only be the sibling mentioned by Aima back at Celebi's shrine. She is currently napping, it seems. There is also a Chimecho nearby that gives Victorlia the oddest sense of nostalgia.

The sense of nostalgia throws her off but she approaches. She did say that if she found Aima's sister she'd try to get her to come back.
"Hello?"

As Victoria calls out, the Chimecho begins chiming. The sleeper suddenly jolts awake, leaping to her feet in a surprising display of acrobatics. Not only that, but now Victoria has a sword in her face. Wait...where'd that sword come from? Was she sleeping on it or something? Hm. Questions for later.
The disheveled Shrine Maiden blinks a few times before pulling the sword back and sheathing it. The Chimecho looks amused.
"Who're you?" She asks gruffly.

Victoria jumps back when the sword comes out, she really wasn't expecting that.
"Eeep!"
When she realizes she broke her stoic 'face', she tries to adjust and answer the question, hoping that the half-awake maiden didn't see it.
"Victo- *ahem*Victoria Erlast. I believe I met your sister earlier. She told me if I found you to tell you 'She shouldn't be wandering about and shirking her duties'."
She rolls her eyes.
"Not that I think their are 'duties' to shirk for you, in this weird alternate land but I said I'd move the message along so there you are."

She blinks again. "Oh." She turns to the Chimecho. "How long was I asleep?" There is a brief silence as she presumably receives a telepathic answer from the Psychic-Type. "Ah. Well then. No wonder she's concerned if it's been that long." She rolls her shoulders and then looks back at Victoria, eyes roving up and down and all around; taking her appearance in. "So it's been awhile since I've fought anyone but my sister. You look strong, so how's about you help me shake the sleep off, yeah?" She grins and grips the hilt of her sword, as if implying she'd like a shot at you personally.

"Well not strong 'that' way. I'm afraid it would be a two on one situation if you yourself wanted to get involved. An actual trainer battle I wouldn't be opposed to, however."

"Bah. Fine. Guess my Pokemon will just get a workout in my place for now then." She comments. "I've got just the three, so that's as far as we'll go. Oh, and my name's Miyako, before I forget."

Victoria sighs and recalls Leibling. Seems like most of her pokemon are a bit too injured now, so guess the gym will be tomorrow.
"Seems like you didn't really need a training partner."

"I fight my sister all the time to keep us both in top form. With two of the same Pokemon, our strategies don't exactly vary much. Needed something new that wasn't a Wild to play with." She shrugs. "That said, I never said 'training partner'. I said 'workout'. Not that it was much of one."

Victoria narrows her eyes.
"Well how rude was that! We fought her after dealing with this dumb alternate Ilex and everyone was beat up..."
She turns and begins walking away.
"If that's how you are going to be, then I'll be leaving."

"'Kay. Doesn't bother me any." She comments off-handedly. "Not my fault you agreed to a fight when your Pokemon were exhausted and lost as a result."

Victoria turns back. "Well considering you yourself said you don't see anyone, then I was trying to not be as rude as you are being now."She turns and continues walking. Meanie!

Miyako just heads back south towards the Shrine, leaving Victoria to her thoughts/to storm off towards Goldenrod (which is closer, and doesn't involve walking with Rude Shrine Maiden).

She has to make a roundabout way to not walk with the meanie maiden but eventually makes her way back to town and heads to the center to heal up. While her pokemon are healing, she heads to the trade area.
She sighs as she puts her ads up.
This is getting harder pretty quickly... I need to find a focus.
She starts with the problematic Eggexcute. She's hoping for more adorbs bugs. She's always wanted a Joltik as a tiny friend for Leibling. They are so cute! She also heard of another similarly typed bug from Alola, a Grubbin. Maybe either of those.
Trade Attempt 1 jkMsOmOB4d6
Attempt 2 4d6
Attempt 3, with the Skiddo 4d64d6·4d6·4d6

With a couple of trades for a Gothorita and Beautifly, it's a day for Victoria. She heads to bed and lets her and her pokemon rest up.
-Next Morning-
Victoria does some early morning training and heads back to Bugsy!

Bugsy is happy to see Victoria again; as both Challenger and fellow Bug-Type enthusiast. Time to get this show on the road.

Victoria stares at the badge in her hand for a moment and everything seems to be on-tack once more. She looks up to Bugsy.
"I recently got a Pansear, and felt like I was going to use that, but I felt sticking with another bug was better."
Her expression grows a little softer.
"Because... uhh... bugs are awesome. *ahem*"

Bugsy grins. "Bugs are indeed awesome. It's why I'm a Bug Trainer; Gym Leader status notwithstanding." Bugsy will happily go on and on about Bug-Type Pokemon (and non-Pokemon insects as well, if asked) for ages. He also recommends that Victoria come on back after she's got a few more badges to challenge his real team. The one he uses for people on their last badge.
