Rowan barely believed his eyes when he turned back. Purrloin was making short work of the distance between herself and the target, and successfully landed the finishing blow on the enemy. Rowan couldn't resist clutching his fist and fist-bumping in the air.

[color=#FFFACD]'Yeah! Great job, Purrloin!'[/color] He encouraged, to which the somewhat dirtied Purrloin merely snorted in satisfied disgust with the string shot on her which she really didn't like. She sat there as a majestic winner, too annoyed to do anything else at the moment, giving Wiggler a look of ”know your place”. … Still, to Rowan, there was a slight feeling of that the victory wasn't all that much to be happy about, it was just a Caterpie, after all.

The cat-Pokémon sprang off, semi-running towards the source of the scent, completely intending on picking it up with her teeth and running off. She wanted the source of the sweet scent, after all. That just happened to be the Oddish. But, not too quickly. She wanted to grab it in the span of time between the other two Pokémon defeating it and the trainer actually retrieving the Pokémon...

[color=#FFFACD]'P-PURRLOIN!?'[/color] Rowan asked loudly, and in stunned shock as his Pokémon ran off in an unintended direction with sub-optimal speed for actually being of help...
