[It is gym battle time, because ha ha, Rin's mun Rin completely forgot to do it when she had the chance. Quick last-minute battle is go!
Whitney is on her last Pokemon, and it seems Rin has saved her supposed trump card for last -- after her Noctowl finally goes down, she sends out Rubin, her Mismagius. All according to plan so far, right? The first thing Whitney does is order Miltank to open with Stomp. Rin doesn't instruct a dodge, thinking it's a misstep on Whitney's part, just orders a Psybeam to start out with.
--Then Rubin and Rin both are equally surprised when the Stomp actually makes contact -- and HURTS, for that matter. The Miltank follows up with Body Slam while Rubin is flinching, and Rin is absolutely dumbfounded.]
What-- why is it hitting?!
[Needless to say, no one told Rin about Scrappy.
In the end, she'll win the battle, though probably at the cost of Rubin, despite a few well-placed Pain Splits and a Grudge to top it off with. But regardless, she learned about that unfortunate ability the hard way. Feel free to inform her of her oversight, or conversely, laugh at her for her oversight.]
[later, screened to Saber]
[Some time after the gym battle, Rin sends out a message from the Goldenrod Pokemon Center.]
Saber, Emiya-kun and I are headed to Violet soon. You're still there, aren't you?
...Well, hopefully you are. I have a few things I need to ask you. There's something that's been bothering me for a while that I still haven't really gotten a clear answer about.
