Oh yeah, how exactly does the Pokémon Whistle work? Should I have Rin play a little tune and just wait for an interaction cuz it actually attracts weaker pokémon to their location, or do I just play it before going into the tall grass because it just makes it more likely the pokémon are lower level.

Also, how much weaker exactly are we talking? Does it temporarily lower the Level Cap by some specific amount?

Lmao, I plan on going heading as soon as Anu evolves! Just you wait! I'm gonna use an Ultra Ball and everything!

@Cerces22
Well I guess I'll just go find put for the both of us then :p

@Cerces22
Lol, nah. I never wanted for Rin to immediately face Sunsay's Gym cuz their levels are severely behind, so this Femaric Fan weakness is just a convenient excuse for them to get outta town without me breaking from character by not having them go headfirst into an ass-kicking at the Gym like the stubborn child they are.
Plus, Boss Balthazar said both the Gyms and the Routes have levels tailored to your current pokémon's level. So with Pokémon Whistle in hand ima bout to go catch all the sweet pokémon you missed out on and be the First of us to go check out that Landmark! >:D

"Hi there!"

"Hey," Rin replied with a cliped tone as one hand strummed it's fingers anxiously against the counter while the other did the same to their chin. Rin was still watching the doors of the Pokémon Center like they were afriad Death itself would come walking through. No, Death would be infinitely less terrifying . . . just so long as Death wasn't a gorgeous woman; Rin would probably die a second time if she was upon meeting her. Having been tuning out the cashier, Yeri's voice in the back of their made made them remember there manners and listen to the rest of what he had to say.

"Just check out the monitor behind me here. All the prices are listed."

"Great, great, great," they rushed under their breath, voice tight. 'Why did they have to be as pretty as people said they were . . .' the trainer groaned within their head before chancing another glance back to the door. 'Bad idea!' Sunsay's Nurse Joy entered just as Rin had peeked; as if Arceus wasn't cruel enough, she just so happened to look back at Rin, and their eyes met across the room. Rowlet's would envy the speed in which Rin twisted their head back around. 'Very! Bad! Idea!'

"Just select your items and hand me your Pokedex. And we'll have you checked out in a jiffy!" If Rin's skin were any lighter the heat in their cheeks would make them indistinguishable from the Cheri Berries in their pouch. Fumbling with their backback, Rin whipped out their Pokédex and started mashing buttons on the automatically synced screen; flashing red the many times Rin panicked fingers clicked on more things then they could afford. Still, they didn't they dare take the time to properly select anything, instead they hastily and randomly adjusted the quantities over and over. In the back of their mind they already knew what they really needed, and so desperation made the choices for them. While Rin also didn't have the time for pride, their face still pinched upon tapping one particular item. Shoving the Pokédex in the man's hands, Rin impulsively began tapping their both feet. The cashier read over Rin's order list agonizingly slow.

INITIAL Balance: 40TP

• Standard Pokéball × < 3 > ~ 9TP
• Great Ball × < 2 > ~ 16TP
• Pokémon Whistle × < 1 > ~ 15TP

Total: 40TP
REMAINING Balance: 0TP

Rin had to physically restrain their hand from snatching what they needed to take. They could hear Nurse Joy's heels clacking against the tile floor, and Rin feared every step. Calmly the man placed each item in plastic bag which was a smattering of advertisements and lopsided business logos in blue upon a white backdrop. The very same second the shopkeep's hand hovered over Rin's bag with their new Pokémon Whistle, the teen practically used Quick Attack when they turned around only to slam right into the cause of their anxieties.

When their foreheads collided Rin knew it was done for.
. . .
"I'M SORRY!"
. . .
That sustained, forty second exclamation was the last anyone had from Rin
. . .
before they shamefully dashed into Route 3.
. . .
_{~To this day in Sunsay, some say that when you see your crush, you can still hear the ghost of the flustered, femaric fan's ego~}

I read your post, but I was actually supposed to be asleep two hours ago, lol. So I'll just have my reply up technically later today.

@Cerces22
No fair, no fair, no fair! You got the first starter evolution and the first 3rd Stage Pokémon! ;-; Lmao, just kidding. ☆♡Congratulations♡☆ .. _{hopefully I'll have a flying type by the time we fight! >:D}

Get some sleep you two! Goodnight~

Pokemon: Prime

That's understandable. With Rin's nervousness, they're definitely not looking for anything romantic right now, but they can't help but be overwhelmed. Excitable is their Nature!

Pokemon: Prime

Thank you for enjoying it! :D I mean I just thought . . . is Pokémon really complete without someone fawning over Nurse Joy _{and Officer Jenny, just you wait!} Lmao, I don't think it is, so I just had to take the opportunity! Plus what's better a better achille's heel that being an easily flustered femaric fan of Pokémon's very own "infinituplets"?

Pokemon: Prime

Sorry this took me so long to write! My baby cousin is now living with us, and I'm on Baby Duty today.

After Osajyin's brilliant display, Rin patted themself on the back before hooting a triumphant cheer. Hopping over the, unbeknownst to them, still conscious Phanpy, Rin pulled Osaja in for an eager hug. "That first turn had me petrified, but now you're up four to nothing!" Rin petted Osajyin's head affectionately, much to the Leaf Pokémon's hummed approval. "You're doing great, Osaja! Keep up that momentum while I train up the rest of the family, alright? You've got a big headstart, but everyone else needs to be ready for the Gym." With a click on his pokéball, the Bayleef returned to his respective device. When they turned back towards Sunsay, the curled up Phanpy still laid in the middle of the road. Apparently it believed if it was still long enough, the trainer would think it was defeated . . . It was right! Once more jumping over the Long Nose Pokémon, Rin sprinted off towards Sunsay. They knew their chest would regret it later, but that was nothing but a whisper of a thought in the back of their mind.

"I'm Rin Mizushima, I'm going to be Pri-!"

Rushing to the the Sunsay Pokémon Center, Rin smacked face first into the sliding doors that couldn't accommodate the trainer's speed fast enough. It wasn't even a surprise to the most oblivious observer though as Rin had nearly kicked up a dust-storm behind them trying to reach the new city. They hadn't even gotten a look at anything, but now all Rin could see was the sky. Whether it be the exhaustion from running at their top speed; their face's abrupt meeting with the Pokémon Center's doors; or the egregious wound to their ego from sheer humiliation, it didn't matter. In that moment Rin fell flat on their back. Wide eyed and heaving for air it was no wonder why Sunsay's very own very concerned Nurse Joy was kneeling down besides them within seconds.

"Are you alright?" She placed the back of her hand on Rin's forehead to gage their temperature, and looked none too pleased. Rin's face felt hot. "Do you feel pain anywhere other than your face? I could hear your collision." Rin's expression grew more awkward and emotionally constipated with every word. "Oh dear, you poor thing. Tell me if this hurts" Tentatively pressing Rin's nose for any sign of injury was the last straw. Rin bolted up and away from the Nurse Joy like she'd burned them. That was too much. That was- that was . . .'That was so embarrassing!' Rin pulled their coat over their mouth so they could burry a disparaging exclamation. 'Great, just great,' Rin thought as they stomped to no particular destination. 'One second into being in Sunsay and make a total fool of myself in front of a Nurse Joy no less!' The frazzled teen could practically feel the eyes of everyone on them even though they weren't. Their confidence always did love to play a vanishing act when around girls way too cute for Rin's health were around. 'They really are as pretty as people say . . .' Rin mused dreamily as an inkling of a smirk played on their face. 'But that's not the point!' Rin shook the away the thought and slapped their cheeks.

"Focus Rin," they chastised themselves aloud this time. "You need Pokéballs, which means . . ." Swallowing thickly, Rin balled their fists at their side and turned back towards the Pokémon Center. The Nurse Joy frome earlier was watching them with worried eyes as an equally upset Audino held his trainer's hand. 'Arceus, why?' Taking a deep breath Rin decided to get this over with in the best possible manner they knew how . . . which was sprinting past the Nurse Joy, slowing only enough to not have a repeat crash, and finally throwing themself at the PokéMart stall. "I need stuff!" Rin feverishly kept checking over their shoulder for the Nurse Joy. Talk about First Impression, First Fail . . .
