As Rin turned around to share their master plan with Osajyin, his suddenly upset expression made them pause. Rin had only looked away for a moment, what could they have missed? The trainer walked over to pet their pokémon's leaf. [Color=rosybrown]"What's worng?"[/color] Rin turned to look pointedly at the wild [i]Smergle[/i] in accusation. [Color=rosybrown]"Did he say something to you, Osaja?"[/color] The wild pokémon looked back at Rin with just as much zeal as it had before. [Color=rosybrown]"I don't know what you said, but I don't appreciate it!"[/color] Standing up between the two, Rin placed their hands on their hips defiantly. [Color=rosybrown]"Go ahead, Osajyin. If this [i]Smergle[/i] wants to smack talk or whatever, then it can get smacked down just as well."[/color] Turning their head back to look Osajyin in the eyes, Rin jerked  their in the Painter Pokémon's direction as they issued the command. [Color=rosybrown]"Use [i][u]Razor Leaf."[/u][/i][/color] Osajyin paused and pulled a face. With his newfound appreciation for art, instilled in him by Olotah, he understood why the Smergle was so upset. Rin just didn't know what he knew. [Color=DAF7A6][I]'Would they even care?'[/i][/color] Osajyin wondered in his mind. [Color=rosybrown]"Come on, Osaja! Don't let him push you around,"[/color] Rin egged on, [color=rosybrown]"Use [i][u]Razor Leaf![/u]"[/i][/color] With a noncommittal sigh, The [i]Bayleef[/i] did as he was told. [Color=DAF7A6][I]'Oh well, he and his art will recover soon enough,'[/i][/color] the Pokémon thought as he attacked.
