Second pokemon I caught here actually. Not counting my starter. And yeah I named one after Ren, but I had to wait until I found one that fit. His namesake by the way is a tiny little egg pokemon that seems to enjoy running around being a goofball. I'll figure out ones for the others when I catch ones that fit.

[So you know, naming one after Michael, it has to be just right.]

[The Taillow meanwhile looks at Clarissa closely as though examining her.]

They're actually pretty smart. All the pokemon I mean. Told my team all about you guys.

[Clarissa the Taillow seems to approves and flies up to sit on Clarissa's shoulder.]

Figures she'd like you. I think she puts up with me. She's tough though, dove at my head the first time I came across her, then decided to come with me anyway.

[Alex is smiling though. What can she say, she likes the bird. And the Taillow is slowly getting used to her and the rest of the team.]
