Slowing dragging it down their face with a groan, Rin watched the Bosai Pokémon playfully skip away back into the grass. Lifting up the limp neck of their Girafarig, Rin felt like a stone had been dropped into their gullet. Only muttering, [color=rosybrown]"I'm sorry,"[/color] as they returned Gerseti to his pokéball. Glaring at their now empty hands, Rin took out their PokéWhistle to gaze at it in contempt. [Color=rosybrown]"What's the point of demeaning myself, if even a Baby Pokémon can me out?"[/color] Bemoaning their loss, Rin sat up off the ground where they'd been kneeling. Scratching the back of their hair, Rin already knew the answer. [Color=rosybrown][i]'It's because of me. Maybe if I had-'[/i][/color] A disgruntled noise came up from the back of their throat as Rin reached around in their belt with their left hand. [Color=rosybrown]"Screw maybe,"[/color] Rin said aloud to themself as they marched back into the tall grass. [Color=rosybrown]"What's done is done. Just do better, geez,"[/color] Rin spat already annoyed with their own whining. A World Champion didn't waste their time getting bent outta shape over one loss, ten losses, or even one hundred! They just learned and [i]did better.[/i] So while Rin may not exactly be the strategic type, they knew in spades about determination. So with another blow of their whistle, Rin winced at the screeching notes, and looked forward to whatever they'd face off against next. Rin would do do better. [CENTER] [@Balthazar007] [/CENTER]
