The Mad Dog's presence made Shalin want to roll her eyes, especially with that horrific grin on his face. It was a grin that meant he was clearly up to no good. "Dorian..." the Captain trailed off as she slowly got to her feet. There was no threat of her escaping; she wasn't leaving without everything Rocket stole from her. Her Pokémon, her Sygna Suit... all of it. All she needed was her Sygna Suit and her Flygon, and she could rock the entire prison with furious vibrations that would leave Dorian and the other wardens numb.

"I do," the frustrated girl scowled. "What do you want?"

Shalin hadn't been on a Pokémon since she rode Fezandipiti at Petalburg, falling under the Loyal Three's charm as a result. Dorian knew her well, though it wasn't hard to, what with how distinct the young Captain's Sygna Suit was. It bestowed upon her a unique fighting style that turned any blade or claw she wielded into a living hacksaw, cutting into its foe dozens of times per second.

And now, that power was in Rocket's terrifying hands... if she knew how to use it. "...You're welcome," she heaved a facetious sigh. "But I doubt there's enough room in here. Are you taking me some place else?"

She indeed noticed that the Tauros was wearing a cocoon saddle. This type of gear was meant for a flying Pokémon, to be able to keep the rider safe in the event of a high bank angle or even a complete reversal. It also served the same purpose as training wheels for land Pokémon. "Not uncommon for Tauros, which is why I haven't raised one myself yet. I guess I'll... have to get familiar." She would wait for Dorian to open her cell and lead her wherever the Mad Dog felt was appropriate...

The moment Shalin felt the wrapping of a cocoon around her, one designed for flying Pokémon, she knew Dorian wasn't trying to simply keep her spirits up. Tauros was one of those Pokémon that putting a cocoon on was an awful idea. Part of what made being on a bucking Pokémon's back not only viable, but fun for her, was being tossed around in her seat, often being airborne longer than being seated on the strong, writhing creature itself. Harnessed to the Tauros, she was in constant contact with it.

With no way to protect herself from the Tauros' bucking and pitching about, she would be absorbing the black bull's full strength. Strength further stoked by the raging creature's FLARE BLITZ. "Whew, he's got a lot of fight!" Shalin exhaled, enjoying herself for the moment... but she knew all it took would be one perfectly-executed heave to overwhelm her.
