[A few hours is plenty of time. Enough time for Pidge to find out that her little friend is called a Rowlet, to get Rowlet to stop running around everywhere like his head's been cut off, and to start settling into what life with the little guy might be like. He's a curious, stubborn, temperamental little thing - and Pidge actually finds it fascinating.
So she starts calling him Rover. Mentally she tacks on a 2.0 at the end, but that's just because Rover 1.0 still has a special place in her heart.
By the time Shiro arrives, Pidge is sitting under a tree with Rover, fiddling with all the new tech that had been given to her; specifically the PokéGear and PokéBalls. There are mysteries to be solved about how they work, after all. Rover just watches her from his new perch on her shoulder, head tilting this way and that, occasionally hooting at her questioning tones. Each time she just shushes him gently before continuing with her task.]
