Katherine, at first, had decided that buying some supplies would be a good idea to start off. As she began to approach the Pokemart, she heard a loud snarl come from nearby. She looked around briefly before setting her eyes on a Poochyena, who was growling at Aria. Kat could tell he was on edge, but he was so small that she found it rather adorable, to be honest. In any case, she didn't make a big deal out of it; after all, it wasn't like he'd attack Aria or anything. So, she just kept moving closer, trying to make her way to the counter. It was at that moment that she heard someone behind her, their voice almost sounding a bit sing-song: [color=ed145b]"Someone might want to round up their Poochyena a bit."[/color] Kat turned to face Kotone, a calm half-smile on her face. [color=chocolate]"Ah, I'm sure it's okay. It might just be the crowd and the noise,"[/color] she said before turning back around.

Then, it seemed the Poochyena's aggression was drawing more attention. Someone up front near the nurse this time, Kat noticed. "Does this Poochyena belong to anyone?" Oh dear. All she wanted was to buy some supplies to start off with; her parents had given her a fair amount of money just for that, anyway. But finding the Pokemon's trainer seemed to be a good idea. It was at this point that Aria began to get nervous, her fur bristling all along her spine. [color=chocolate]"Really, it's fine,"[/color] Kat said to Kazurai before looking back at the Poochyena. Its unwavering aggression was only growing, which was definitely setting Aria off. The Eevee leaped down from Kat's shoulder and onto the ground, stepping in front of her trainer and adopting a protective stance. [color=chocolate]"Aria, please, let's not do this right now..."[/color] Kat sighed, her voice calm yet laced with desperation. A fight breaking out wasn't quite the way she wanted her journey to begin.

She let out a sigh of relief when the Poochyena's trainer finally turned his attention to his Pokemon. Even Aria seemed to relax a bit as he pulled his Pokemon closer to his body. Kat's nervous expression melted back into a polite smile as Dirk apologized. [color=chocolate]"Don't worry, I understand. Crowds and noises can be generally, um...unpleasing,"[/color] she replied, laughing a bit. Though, she did catch the [i]"mostly"[/i] at the end, giving her cause to wonder just what he meant. She'd also caught the Pokemon's nickname, Fang. That was fitting, Kat thought, her smile widening slightly. It was at that point that the Poochyena suddenly bit his trainer, causing several other people around them to jump away. Kat didn't have time to react as Fang sprinted toward Aria, using [color=D3D3D3]Tackle[/color]. Aria was sent flying several feet back, landing painfully on her side. She immediately stood back up, fury evident in her eyes as she used [color=A8A878]Swift[/color] and sent it toward Fang. [color=chocolate]"Aria, [i]please![/i] Calm down!"[/color] Kat howled. Aria was ordinarily such a sweet Pokemon, but her protectiveness was always quick to override that fact. At this rate, the whole Pokemon Center was going to be destroyed!
