[Kotone Kato]

For once, Tae was silent as he stuck close to Kotone's side. He had yet to run off on his own, yet to try and trip his trainer, and yet to be his normally noisy, rambunctious self. And had Kotone not known the exact reason for his sudden change in attitude, she would have suspected he was sick. But, at the moment, she was in the exact same position as her Deino, as they both wandered the halls of the ancient ruins, staring wide-eyed and slack-jawed at the amazing detail around them. 

Kotone had come to the Zodiac Ruins in search of some Pokemon to catch, but she was so utterly caught up by the beauty of the area that she had completely forgotten her original goal. So, as she wandered further and further in, the prospect of wild Pokemon living here had all but flown out of her mind, until she heard a noise.

(Would prefer a Murkrow)

[Kotone Kato]

Kotone turned, only for her gaze to meet a Murkrow's steely eyes. It bounced on the ground, flapping its wings angrily, as if telling her to leave, to get out of its territory and never come back.

It really didn't know what was coming.

"Tae! Use dragon pulse!" In a blink of an eye, Kotone's Deino had attacked the Murkrow, hitting it head on with a powerful blast. While she celebrated internally for Tae's unexpected obedience, Kotone continued issuing orders. She wasn't going to allow the Murkrow any respite, not until she had it in a Pokeball and stored in her P.C. "Use crunch! Headbutt! Crunch again!" 

It was hard work, but sure enough the Murkrow was slowly getting beat down. It was definitely strong, having lasted so long against a dragon-type no less, but by this point Kotone was sure of her victory. And, unfortunately, so was Tae. So, when Kotone commanded him to use headbutt, Tae ignored her completely and cried out to the Murkrow. He was taunting the other Pokemon, teasing it, and giving it a chance to get back on its feet and launch a counterattack, something Kotone hadn't planned for although she couldn't say it was unexpected. So, just as the Murkrow had regained its footing, Kotone lobbed a Pokeball at it, catching the weakened Pokemon much to Tae's distress. As he jumped at Kotone, knocking her off balance in a form of retaliation, she just groaned in frustration.

"Every single time, Tae! Every. Single. Time! Can't you just listen to me for once? Why do you always feel like you have to go off and do your own thing? Does it ever cross your mind that, maybe, you should listen to me for once? Does it?" Needless to say, neither Tae nor Kotone ended up very happy with the lecture that followed.
