Instinctively, Rin stuck out their own tongue right back at the [I]Furret[/i]. If she hadn't disappeared into the tall grass, Rin would've plugged both thumbs in each ear and gone full on [i]'Na-Nana-Boo-Boo.'[/i] When one has grown up passionately bickering with someone since childhood, there really isn't any level of  immaturity they won't sink to if challanged. However as soon as the Long Body pokémon vanished from sight, Rin's eyes sharpened in anticipation. A wild pokémon wouldn't have run off so easy. Well at least not a [i]Furret.[/i] Anusobeket picked up on this and armed herself with a killer stare as she watched the grass around her with a sweeping glare.  [Color=rosybrown]"Keep your eyes peeled, Anu."[/color] Rin slowly turned around as they kept speaking aloud. [Color=rosybrown]"That [i]F-[/i]"[/color] Just like [i]that[/i] it was over! Practically flying from the grass, the wild [i]Furret[/i] pounced on Anusobeket and landed devastating strikes from her claws. 

Rin broke into a short sprint in order to defend Anusobeket, but it was too late. The Long Body Pokémon was gone, and The Big Jaw Pokémon was done. Dropping down to her side, Rin stroked Anusobeket's fainted face. A hard stare cemented their own. [Color=rosybrown]"This is my fault."[/color] Returning Anu back to her ball, Rin contemplated their options as they absentmindedly walked back through the grass they'd come from in the direction of the beach. [Color=rosybrown]'Olotah could still fight. He even has Synthesis.[/color] Rin sighed at the thought. [Color=rosybrown]'Maybe I should st-'[/color] Stopping where they stood Rin smacked both of their cheeks. This time speaking aloud, Rin wouldn't allow their next thought to even finsih. [color=rosybrown]"Snap out of it, Rin! You're Two Wins to Two Losses. That's nothing!"[/color] Throwing Olotah's pokéball ahead of them, Rin raced forward. Swiping the standard pokéball out of the air as it released the Painter Pokémon, Rin used their other hand to try and stretch their binder. Rin [i]definitely[/i] wasn't supposed to excerise in it, but dammit! This was important! [Color=rosybrown]"Come on, Olotah! We've got work to do!"[/color] The [i]Smergle[/i] nodded cheerily. If only he had time to capture his trainer's ferocity in art. It truly was a force of nature in its own right. Then again, for all the [i][u][b]naive[/b][/u][/i] pokémon knew he had simply mistakenly assumed the two were going to battle. [Color=ANTIQUEWHITE][i]'Maybe this work would be artistsic?'[/i][/color] With renewed excitement Olotah jumped forward, happily waving their tail as he did.
