Rin had already prematurely jumped into the air in congratulations when the wild [i]Phanpy[/i] curled in on itself in an exemplary display of [u][i][b]Defense Curl[/b][/i][/u]. Osajyin's super-effective leaves bounced useless off of the Long Nose pokémon, littering the ground dirty with green. [Color=rosybrown]"What?! Oh come on, that's not fair! You definitely deserve to be on my team for that one . . ."[/color] Rin pouted, but not before shaking it to clear their head of their frustration. [Color=rosybrown]"No . . . Osajyin and Gerseti were more than worth it,"[/color] Rin reassured the Leaf Pokémon despite his being unphased by the earlier comment. [Color=rosybrown]"I should have tried harder to bring your [i][b]Power[/b][/i] down first, but what's done is done."[/color] Noting the [i]Phanpy[/i] had taken Rin's minature monolog as the opportunity to stalk off again, Rin dove in front of it like a [i]Herdier[/i] using [u][i][b]Take Down[/b][/i][/u]. Falling with an audible oof, Rin huffed out their next command. [Color=rosybrown]"Hurry, Osaja, before it tries getting away again: [u][i][b]Razor Leaf![/b][/i][/u]"[/color] Rin hoped this attack would be different, but with the [i]Phanpy's[/i] [u][i][b]Defense Curl[/b][/i][/u] up, and Rin right in front of it, that may be enough to throw him off again. Still, Rin had total confidence in their [i]Bayleef[/i]. His individual winning streak won't be beat yet!
