Rin liked getting what they wanted. They weren't raised rotten, but failure was not an option with Rin. They were a competitor through, and through, and if there was anything competitive people hate most, it was without a doubt: losing. [I]Chikorita[/i] rejecting them? Felt like a loss. Not accepting his response, Rin yanked their backpack over their shoulder. Stuffing their left hand back into their backpack, Rin straightened their back, and glared down at the small creature. This time with less spite and more arrogance. [Color=rosybrown]"Don't think I won't fight you,"[/color] they threatened with Anusobeket coming up from behind them. [Color=rosybrown]"Because you can bet I'm stubborn enough to try! We're gonna be World Champions, so you can either get on board,"[/color] Rin dropped a pokéball in front of him and the familiar red light cloaked the [i]Chikorita[/i] again, [color=rosybrown]"or get ready to fight . . ."[/color] A tiny, measly, insignificant voice in the back of their mind knew they wouldn't be able to handle fighting the clearly high-leveled Grass Type, but their pride screamed otherwise; and that's exactly what this was. A matter of pride. Perhaps this would be a learning experience for Rin, perhaps this would make them dig their heels in even more into the issue, or maybe they'd get their way and no lesson would be learned or grudge set at all.
