[Kotone Kato]

Kotone shivered as she held Finn, her Eevee, tightly, clutching him to her chest as Ridge, her Helioptile, and Tae, her Deino, chased each other around the room as if they were playing at the park. But, Kotone just couldn't understand how they managed to do it. She had come inside Blancblack Manor on a dare, as a show of courage, but she completely regretted that decision. For years, people have been saying that the Manor was haunted, and while she had scoffed at that insinuation in the past, standing inside the Manor now, Kotone couldn't help but agree wholeheartedly with the rumors. There was definitely something off about Blancblack Manor, and it would probably be for the best if she just left. Yeah, it would definitely be for the best.

"Ridge, Tae! Come on, we're leaving!" The pink-haired girl tried calling her Pokemon back to her, but to no avail. "Ridge, Tae!" She took a step forward, intending to recall them into their Pokeballs if they didn't listen, but suddenly she heard a noise from behind her, and a chill ran, unbidden, down her spine.

[Kotone Kato]

Kotone spun around on her heel so fast she almost tripped over her own two feet as she heard a small noise from behind her. Finn squeaked in protest as she squeezed him tighter, choking back a scream of fear that died in her throat when she got a good look at exactly which Pokemon had frightened her: a small, grey Espurr that seemed to be just as, if not more, scared. Kotone placed a hand over her rapidly beating heart in relief and let a disgruntled Finn down on the floor, where he shook out his fur and jogged off to play with Tae and Ridge.

Kotone returned her attention to the meek Espurr who liked like a deer in headlights. He was practically shaking in fear, and Kotone couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity. Kneeling down to appear as small as possible, she smiled gently at the Espurr and said, "Hey, I won't hurt you."

For the longest time, it didn't seem to believe her, but it didn't run away either. It wasn't until minutes later that it began to creep closer and closer. First, it was several feet away. Then, they were a foot apart. Until, finally, the Espurr was right in front of Kotone's open hands, and, when he sniffed them curiously, she took that as an incentive to reach into her pocket and retrieve a Pokeball. Holding it to the Espurr, she slowly, hesitantly, reached out to touch the Pokeball to Espurr's forehead, when a bright light pulled the Pokemon in. Kotone grinned excitedly; she had just caught another team member.
