I'm pretty sure I'm being stalked by a Pokemon.

[Oh hello to you too, Noctis.

He's frowning at his 'gear as he walks, a Chespin hanging over his shoulder and clearly scolding something behind them. He's very displeased with their stalker!]

I ran into a Zorua outside of Azalea Town--okay, well I thought it was a Chespin like Talcott but turns out it wasn't. It kept following us and messing with my Pokemon. I ended up catching it and trading it to someone in Violet City right before I warped to Mahogany Town.

[Here he stops walking and turns, tilting the 'gear so he can show what's behind him.

On the path is a rather smug looking fox, his tail flicking about in amusement.]

A week later and he's back.

[Noct turns the 'gear back towards himself, frowning.]

Suggestions? I'll try anything to get him to leave me alone.

Ah...so he's like Hugie, then. I'd say let him join you, but keep a close eye on him.

[Jane's experiences with foxes have been nothing but trouble, and yet she keeps amassing them...]

[The prince can't help but look a bit defeated.]

So this is an "all Zorua" thing, I take it?

[Well, at least it wasn't a case of him attracting a particular terrible Pokemon.]

I have a feeling he's going to keep it up no matter what, though, and the last thing I need is him switching into my active team when I don't need him there.

That's right! That's their specialty, being sneaky and transforming. You might want to see about talking it out with him and seeing if he can be reasoned with.

[He has a feeling that reasoning with this fox is going to be impossible given he's too much like his namesake for comfort but..]

I guess it can't hurt. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

[Endless harassment. That's what.]

Maybe with some attention he'll..chill out. Yeah.

[I mean. You can always hope?]

It's possible. But in that case, clearly I'm not lavishing Hughie with enough of it.

...That's not giving me much hope for a decent relationship with this Zorua.

[This is going to be hell, isn't it?]

S-Sorry...I didn't mean to mislead you, if that's what it sounded like...

What? Oh, no no it's alright.

[Noct gives her a slight grin.]

I'm just resigning myself to the fact that this is going to be another handful of a Pokemon, that's all.

O-Oh. Well...I mean, even that's not so bad. I'll say that so far I have never encountered a truly bad Pokemon here, even if they cause trouble.

Now that you mention it, I guess I really haven't either...if pranks are the worst thing he's going to do, I guess it won't be so bad.

That's the spirit! And pranks aren't always a bad thing, either. Who knows, maybe you'll end up thick as thieves and pulling off pranks together.

Yeah maybe! Here's hoping!

That's the best attitude to have about it. I'm sure if you just give him a bit of time and an offering of friendship, it'll help heaps.
