Rin was [i]definitely[/i] regretting their choice to keep running, but they'd be dammed if they let it show! Instead of promptly giving in and passing out, Rin plastered a miniacle smile on their face which was fooling . . . ? Absolutely nobody. Except Olotah of course. The sweet soul really thought their was any chance that their trainer was just suddenly overcome with the need to see his old art work. After all, they were traveling back near where Rin had found him. [Color=ANTIQUEWHITE][i]'Maybe I'll get to show them how to appreciate art like I did for Osajyin!'[/i][/color] With that thought in mind, the [i]Smergle[/i] skipped ahead happily; easily surpassing his struggling trainer. 

Struggling was an understatement. Just as Rin was about to unleash a thunderous roar while ripping off the constricting fabric right, their eyes bugged out of their head at the sudden sight of a pokémon! Repositioning their hands and feet into a pose with all the flare fit for a [i]Balie Oricorio[/i], Rin's exuberant grin was only matched in its fanaticism by their pointed finger, which wagged excitedly in the air.

[I]Girafarig![/i] A real, [i][b]actual[/b] Girafarig![/i] The blithesome trainer had been in love with the Long Neck Pokémon since they first saw it PokéSchool. They didn't know what it was that drew them to it. It wasn't its stats (which were mediocre), or its typing(which was decent). Just something about its plain, goofy, cute two faces made Rin fall in love with it as a child. Rin [i]wanted[/i] it. [B]Needed[/b] it! They [b][i]were[/i][/b] going to have it. [Color=Rosybrown]"[i][u]Synthesis[/u][/i] now, Olotah! They're coming home with us!"[/color] Rin's breath was ragged, but they were already mentally preparing for if it tried running off like their last wild encounter. This. Pokémon. Was. Not. Getting. Away. They'd use their last two pokéballs, beg, and cry if it meant they'd get a [I]Girafarig.[/i] They had to have it.
