Who wants to teach a lady how to fistfight?

[She probably shouldn't be texting and riding a giant firedog at the same time, but hey, Crash knows what she's doing.]

I'd gotten used to running around, it feels strange not to keep in shape like that anymore. It seems like a good skill to learn, besides.

Indeed. May I ask where you are now? Teaching you may be a... little difficult without being able to see you face-to-face.

We're heading to Union Cave for something real quick, but we should be back in Violet before the end of the month.

text

[bookslap]

{Welp.}

Perhaps our lessons will have to wait - I only just arrived in Cherrygrove.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

I don't mind. We can always meet up later.

It's around a week's walk to get to Violet from there, I think.

text

[bookslap]

...and here I was, hoping that the distance needed to travel would be shorter.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

It gets easier if you have a big enough Pokemon.

text

[bookslap]

Somehow I don't think any of mine will ever get big enough to ride.

Any suggestions on a species to look for?

I have a Growlithe who I evolved into an Arcanine... But you'd have to find someone to send money to who are in Goldenrod and then send you the Fire Stone. I've heard that's the only place where they're sold.

But they have the plus of being fluffy and fire type so you'll never have to worry about a cold journey.

text

[bookslap]

I don't have a fire type right now...

Do you have an image of an Arcanine? I'd be interested in seeing what they look like.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

[Selfie incoming. That sure is a horse sized fire dog she's laying back against, who's peering into the camera curiously.]

Ta da.

text

[bookslap]

That's a large animal.

{IT'S A HORSEDOG}

{....does she want one, that's the question.}

text

[ladywithnovoice]

I've seen bigger. My traveling buddy is going to catch an Onix, I think.

At least mine is cuddly.

text

[bookslap]

How big is an Onix?

text

[ladywithnovoice]

Pretty big, I've heard. I can send you a picture when we get to the cave. It's made out of boulders or something like that.

text

[bookslap]

Somehow, I'm still surprised by this.

Somehow.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

This place seems like it's full of surprises.

text

[bookslap]

In any case, I'll give you a call when I arrive in Violet.

That is, if you haven't moved on by then.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

Sounds good.

I'm Red, by the way.

Re: text

[bookslap]

Nanao Ise. Nice to meet you.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

Same. What kind of Pokemon do you have so far?

text

[bookslap]

A Yamask, a Shinx, and a Togepi. None of them are very large right now, but that might change.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

Definitely. It seems like some of these Pokemon just keep getting bigger. I guess it's lucky that it seems to happen mostly while we're all on the road and not indoors.

text

[bookslap]

...I hope that none of mine will suddenly increase in size overnight. This room isn't large.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

From what I can tell, you don't have to worry about that with most of them. They tend to evolve from training.

Some, like my Arcanine, are a bit special however. So long as you do a bit of research, I think you should be fine.

text

[bookslap]

I'll do that - and I'll remember to give you a call when I'm approaching Violet, too.

Thank you, Red.
