Goodnight, Bathazar! I just finished up, so I'm going edit, post, and join you in sleeping for the night. Talk to ya tomorrow! Just as as head's up though: I'm going to be pretty busy this weekend, so I may not be on until Sunday?

Edit: Just so you know, I'll be using Osaja_{which is pronounced with a hard j/zj sound} as Shorthand for my Chikorita's nickname, in case you wanted to add that, like with how you bolded the 'Anu' part of Anusobeket

YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPEE!

RNG JESUS, YOU NEVER FAIL ME!

I could cry victory tears right now! My first ever catch is a Level 15 Chikorita 😂 This is amazing! Lol, I'll post my response, and then I'm going to go to sleep for the night.

Good luck to you, @Cerces22!
By the time our characters meet again I may just have every Johto Starter, so watch out!

Rin narrowed their eyes into slits, and their smile morphed with displeasure. Rin liked getting what they wanted. They weren't raised rotten, but failure was not an option with Rin. They were a competitor through, and through, and if there was anything competitive people hate most, it was without a doubt: losing. Chikorita rejecting them? Felt like a loss. Not accepting his response, Rin yanked their backpack over their shoulder. Stuffing their left hand back into their backpack, Rin straightened their back, and glared down at the small creature.

This time with less spite and more arrogance. "Don't think I won't fight you," they threatened with Anusobeket coming up from behind them. "Because you can bet I'm stubborn enough to try! We're gonna be World Champions, so you can either get on board," Rin dropped a pokéball in front of him and the familiar red light cloaked the Chikorita again, "or get ready to fight . . ." A tiny, measly, insignificant voice in the back of their mind knew they wouldn't be able to handle fighting the clearly high-leveled Grass Type, but their pride screamed otherwise; and that's exactly what this was. A matter of pride. Perhaps this would be a learning experience for Rin, perhaps this would make them dig their heels in even more into the issue, or maybe they'd get their way and no lesson would be learned or grudge set at all.

NOOOOOOOO! BUT I WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT IIIIIIIIIT Dx
(Also small typo you put Liz's encounter instead of Rin's)

@Balthazar007
If having both of us fight at the same time is too much, just let me know okay? I'm perfectly fine waiting a little bit to post, so as not to stress you.

@Cerces22
If this system of alternating is fine for you, it's fine for me. You can go ahead and continue.

Just as Rin had stepped on a branch a flurry of leaves shot out at them like an automated gun. Their fight impulse kicked in, and Rin's body compressed into a street-fighting stance out of a pure survival-mode drive. "Ah!" Though just as quickly as it had begun the frenzy had ceased, leaving Rin's heart racing and their head nearly twisting off as it turned to the leaves' source. In the new clearing before them stood a . . . a Chikorita!? Rin went from terrified to hyperactive to protective in an instant upon remembering Anusobeket. Pouncing on her like a lioness to her cub, Rin looked her over with feverish eyes. Had they already failed her? Had they led her to an early demise just mere moments since her first ever battle? Would Rin be forced to avenge her with the fury of every action movie they've ever seen? "Tell me where it hurts, Anusobeket!"

"Toto-Tota?" Anu on the other hand just seemed more confused than anything over her trainer's weird behavior. Just like them, she hadn't been struck by the attack. Rin could see this now, and sighed heavy in relief, but not before immediately snapping their attention back over to the wild Chikorita.

"You!" Springing back to their feet, Rin landed in a full-on pose, pointing straight at the surprisingly calm Grass Type. "You are really impressive!" Being the the extrovert they were, Rin skipped over to the relaxed Chikorita with Pokéball in hand, and a naturally inviting smile on their face. "That was really amazing what you did back there! Especially with that accuracy; you didn't hit us, even though you could have if you wanted. That proves you don't want to hurt us. So maybe you'd like to come with us? We'd make an awesome team!" Kneeling over the smaller Pokémon, Rin gave them one more toothy grin of encouragement. Normally they'd just fight the wild pokémon, but this one was special! It was a starter from the same trio as Anu, so maybe it was fate that they met. That or it was dumb luck, and even Rin knew not to look --or in this case punch-- a gift horse in the mouth. Rin figured the latter. Regardless, they pointed their pokéball at the Chikorita. "So what do ya say?" Opening the standard issue pokéball with a click of a button, a red light zapped the Chikorita, bathing it in a vermillion silhouette. "Please say yes, I don't want to lose you, or lose a battle . . ." Rin admitted, and it was up to whatever happened next to decide if their plea was in vain or not.
